Thanks for that, I assume that is the predecessor of Affinity Designer. I'm using Affinity Designer on a regular basis, so I assume, there is ne real advantage.
And it does not fit my needs "infinite whiteboard" and "measuring tool / arrow tool".

But I think It might be interesting for someone else, especially whith your links  ;)

General Software Discussion / Simple "technical" drawing tool
« on: May 18, 2025, 04:09 PM »
Hi there,
hope this is the right forum. I'm searching a simple drawing tool, maybe you can help.

Use-cases:
Sometimes I need to make a sketch e.g. If I want to put on some pictures on a wall, allign furniture in a room, do some woodwork, e.g.
I want to create the sketch on my windows machine, in real size on a infinite canvas.
Need simple geometric shapes, helping lines, and measuring arrows for print out.

Sometimes I use powerpoint for that (really good for doing stuff that is maybe up to a meter in real life), but not infinite canvas and no measuring tool or arrows
The tool sPlan is also quite good, but it's not for real size and you always have to scale it in your mind.
Also tried LibreCAD, but it's too complicated for non power users.

Hello again Pareidol! Are they always the same files/directories?

Yes, atm. But I can not say how my workflows might change in the future. Best would be (as far as I can imagine) if it would be possible to call a program from a batch and put source and destination path as argument in it.

General Software Discussion / Move/Copy files with script

I have recurring tasks of moving and copying files from one path to another.
I would like to have a desktop shortcut (maybe even put it in the Windows task planner), where you just double click and the files are getting moved/copied.
I know, this can be done with a batch and robocopy, but i would like to have a progressbar and propper errorhandling.
Something like TeraCopy (there are many more programms that can copy/move files), but with the ability to call it from a file/batch/link, whatever.

Great,
now it works as expected.
I'll defenitely work with it the next time.
Maybe there are some minor improvements, but for now I'm happy.

Many thanks.
