![]() ![]() CalDigit Connect 10GĬalDigit just released a new high-performance Thunderbolt 3 10Gb Ethernet Adapter that connects to any Thunderbolt 3 Mac or Windows laptop. And with Ke圜ue installed, you can further increase efficiency by recalling abbreviation sets through that Ergonis app, saving you a trip to Typinator’s Quick Search. In combination with a hotkey for Typinator’s quick search, this is a great way to type arbitrary Unicode characters without taking your hands off the keyboard. With PopChar 8.2 or newer installed, you can now use Typinator to search for and insert arbitrary Unicode characters by their name or Unicode number. New is the integration with Ergonis’ award-winning PopChar. A nice side-effect of this improvement is that the expansion field is now wider and you have more space to enter your expansions. Here you can find all markers and editing functions in one central place. This offers an elegant way to avoid those conflicts.Ī user interface enhancement is the new “mini menu bar” right above the expansion field. You might wonder why, but that soon becomes clear when you have a lot of snippets that you want to give the same abbreviation – that is a surefire way of introducing shortcut conflicts. This allows you to use them as special trigger characters. You can now use the modifier keys Shift, Control, Option, and Command in abbreviations as if they were real characters. ![]() You can also sort your snippets by these values, to see which abbreviations you are using frequently and which ones you may have forgot about.Īnother new feature of Typinator 8 are Magic Keys. Typinator 8 offers a new statistics mode, where you can see the usage counts for abbreviations and sets, and how long ago an abbreviation has been used most recently. There are also improvements to almost all vector tools, including lasso selection of nodes, the pencil tool adding a sculpt mode, a new point transform tool as well as huge improvements to guides, grids and snapping. I tried it out briefly and it’s great to see your designs adapt magically to a different plane.įor those of you who are really digital artists, vector shapes can now possess an unlimited number of strokes and fills, with complete freedom to interleave different attributes and control how they are blended together.Īnd arrowheads have been added to the stroke panel too, which is a feature even I use on occasion and which I found lacking in previous versions. ![]() My personal favourite is the new symmetry mode that works with up to 32 “divisions”.īatch processing has been improved, a new assets panel is available for quick drag and drop of commonly used elements, and the layers panel has had a complete overhaul and is more efficient than the previous one.Īffinity Designer got new isometric controls that allow you to work directly on any isometric plane – or fit existing elements to a plane with a single click. The brush engine was rewritten as well and all-new multi-brushes were added. It should also be more effective at reducing noise and hot pixel removal, but I haven’t tested that yet.Īnother new feature is that you now get access to a wider colour space in Affinity Photo (great for HDR). The update also comes with a new demosaicing algorithm that is a bit more accurate in rendering the colours and sharpness of my old camera’s files. On my iMac 5K Retina mid-2017, they load my Sony Alpha 700 images much faster than before. The updates have a lot in common and bring a much improved and certainly faster RAW processing engine. Starting with Affinity Photo and Designer, these two apps have been updated to version 1.7 as you undoubtedly know by now. ![]()
