  @debraspicher even though I use Screenpal and am happy with it i love "ScreentoGif" and still wonder how such a tiny tool can do so much

  @debraspicher @VectorStyler This is actually a good idea (the shorts option) as there are quite a few vimeo demos that could be used for this (and are still relevant). Just a matter of recropping, captions and a tune. Could be a way to start.

  Since I purchased VectorStyler, I have been recommending it to many people. Some have already made purchases, while others are waiting for specific features before making a purchase. Version 1.2 offers more features and greater stability compared to version 1.1. It is a highly powerful program.

  Re-uploading is finish now. Re-uploading my Tutorial Videos, took some work, but it was easier than I expected. Can highly recommend the free version of “Screenpal”. Re-recording was pretty seamless. And once you create a free Screenpal account, you can upload your video recordings at any time without logging in The length of the my videos was in the range of up to 5 minutes Uploading the videos usually took unter a 1 minute. All in all i find "Screenpal" a really good Tool for Screen recordings.

  Hi, I’ve been paying attention to VS development in passing (thanks, boldline) knowing I’ll likely soon be looking for my next launching pad(s). This was all in fruition pre-Canva acquisition. I’ve returned to Adobe at least for the time being because it’s what I can get back into realistically quickly with my crazy schedule and a very young child. Still, I will never stop checking out alternatives as that is where ultimately I will look for my new home. I am very pleased to see there is a commitment to quality in this community and that’s one of the reasons I keep returning here to check on VS, I think. I’m sure other Affinity users have taken their own notes and are checking out their options as well post-Canva acquisition. I’ve been with Affinity since it emerged on Windows and it made sense to me to switch away from AI to it as I always found AI joyless and painful to use. It also needed too many plugins to do what should’ve been native functionality. Even if its output was superior at the time, I thought I could get by as long as the software was solid and I could work around limitations. However, between participating in betas and analyzing each .x bug release, it became all too clear they are not invested in raising their product to the level of even their own marketing. I’ve had numerous issues with getting quality output from their software, to say the least. I was constantly opening the program and finding new bugs, most of the time right upon starting something very basic in their programs. This chipped away at any benefit of the doubt I would’ve given them in the past. Example: In-program rendering has always been unusable/unreliable: I can open a PNG in Photo straight from its source and Affinity will still find some way to blur or fudge this in the viewport. I don’t know how they managed it, but their software cannot handle a simple 1:1 display of a bitmap opened straight from its file without some sort of display issue occurring. Something even MS Paint can handle. I would question if it was the file being too compressed, but as it turns out, it was often Affinity. Screenshots also had this issue. I can only imagine what it’s done to my perception of my processed RAWs where it would be much more difficult to tell at scale whether I’m seeing a true image at 100% view or not. At least there’s increased pressure in the market for competition. This also gives needed incentive for the market to grow and I think it will also encourage people towards other options such as VS and FOSS, indeed any alternatives. That’s my hope and I don’t think that that’s unrealistic at all. On the bright side, if Canva is where some aspiring designers begin, then they’re already more platform-agnostic than others have been historically. They can still self-educate on their options before settling down on the most obvious choices. Maybe. @Boldline said in Canva Bought Affinity!: The FOSS "Graphite" is interesting - thanks for bringing it to our attention. Same, also. I noticed other people were talking about it on AF. I'm subscribed to their mailing list.

  @Subpath said in Development & integration of VS and a desktop publishing software: @Boldline said in Development & integration of VS and a desktop publishing software: We could pick a topic a week or so and then always go back in and add more information as it's learned. Think it's a nice idea. But creating tutorials is work, and thats also the case with small tutorials. That's why my thoughts tend to be to just allow the recorder to run without comments for a small project. Because i think that most users would find it already helpful to simply see tools in a everyday use to get some inspiration. I understand about not having time to invest in full tutorials. What I was mainly referring to was a running discussion on a dedicated topic on the forum. Where we just add bits of helpful info

  @creative ok , as you are on mac dont know if you know " PatternNodes" ? where the company call it self " lostminds" this app works also with nodes and offers import of Bitmaps too here a link https://www.lostminds.com/patternodes3/ i always recommend also "Affinity Designer" for Pattern making, because Symbols in AD offers also flexible ways of doing this you can even use ADs Symmetrie Tool (PixelPersona) inside of a Symbol and draw with it

  Welcome! I hope you will find all you need with VectorStyler. I too have used tons of other (commercial and open source) vector editors and have totally fallen in love with VectorStyler for all its capabilities, active community, responsive developer and I cannot wait to see where it will take us.

  @Harry Thanks for the info Well, that's unfortunate. But that's how it works sometimes. I don't think everything can be archived I'll have to think about how I'm going to deal with this.
