There are only 230 fonts and 50 ICC profiles on this system. No custom brushes/assets/dictionaries - it's a clean install of the app from the Microsoft Store. I downloaded a trial of the non-Store version and it seemed to load about 6 seconds faster for some reason; but that's still 30s vs <5s.

I picked up Affinity Photo for Windows in the recent sale (the whole suite, actually) as companions to the iPad apps, and have found them to be very slow to open on my PC. I'm running Windows 10 (1909) and the specs are: Ryzen 1700X 32GB RAM 1TB Samsung 960 Evo NVMe SSD I have asked for feedback about this elsewhere, and people are telling me that it's unusual, with Photo launching in "about 12 seconds" from a SATA SSD or "about the same amount of time as Photoshop CC". Well, I don't have CC to compare against—I've been stuck on CS5.1 since I don't want to pay a recurring subscription for software. But the Affinity apps take so long to open that I'm finding them very inconvenient to use, and have stuck to Photoshop to get work done rather than learning/experimenting with Photo.

Are you sure this is intended behaviour? If I use the dials with the move tool rather than the node tool, or use the rotate/shear dials, a single entry is added to the history after I release from the dial. It is only when moving a node (or nodes) via the dials that it adds hundreds of “move handles” entries to the history, which is often enough to fill it. Dragging a node around manually only adds a single entry too.

As the title states, adjusting the position of a node or nodes via Transform Studio’s Ⅹ or Y position dials completely fills the history. It seems like history is recording every single position update made with this tool, rather than only recording the new ‘end’ position once the adjustment has been made. This essentially means those changes cannot be undone.
