Hi, i'm trying to make a little window so that i can hit undo/redo with apple pencil while drawing in affinity designer. The app doesn't have these buttons on UI. I tried making a palette with these buttons and it works well but disappears after touching it once. How can i make it stay up? Or is there a better way to do this?''
Thanks
I assume that the Macro: Undo in affinity designer is just one line
Try adding a second line to restore the palate after it is invoked:
You would add the same line to the Redo in affinity designer macro
I am not sure what context this is. You are somehow using an Apple Pencil with a Mac App?
Anyway, a suggestion. Just using Affinity Designer on the Mac with a mouse, this seems to work.
Yes with astropad.
Works perfect thanks!
Just noticed though- the pallete is preventing quit of affinity designer now. The only way to quit AD is to manually click the X on the pallete. How can i make it stop preventing quit?
How can i make it stop preventing quit?
I don't see that behavior so I cannot help with any confidence.
What if you added another Macro to the palette?
That should both make the palette go away and set AD up to quit.
See the wiki Palettes user manual section.
If you want a macro palette displayed when you are in a specific application, create a macro group and configure it to show a macro palette, and be active only in the specific application(s) and place your macros in there.
The Show a Palette of Macros action is designed as a kind of “Prompt” - it lets you select a macro and then continue. It is not designed to permanently provide a palette.
Thanks! Just tried Peter's solution and works perfectly!
