Ahh.. No problem.. It was a 'first thing Monday' thought... Tried it and ohh best let you folks know. Thanks Rob

Please refer to this post I made in the Affinity Designer forum https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/126299-lockup-on-save-pdf/ I thought I would test this in Publisher 1.8.4 and it delivers the same error. Rob

Great stuff. I was hoping you would be able to reproduce the problem. Tip top software and since using it always had great results from all of the suite. Thanks Rob

This morning I had my first Designer lockup and I can reproduce it plenty of times. Its a tiny job just a label for a fella that runs a small soap stall on the market. So nothing taxing at all. So... Open a designer file and go to save as PDF. Folder dialogue opens and I select the folder which is the same place as where the file is coming from. I am overwriting the currrent PDF - so same name... But what I inadvertantly did was instead of clicking the current PDF I clicked the arrow on the icon (multi page pdf - only 4 pages) This sent designer into the world of whaaatttttt. And greyed out the save box. The file weirdly did save but I had to crash Designer using finder and Force quit. System is Designer 1.8.4 2019 Mac mini with 32gig ram running Catalina 10.15.7 All OS updates installed. Cheers Rob

As an edit... Restarted Designer no change... Restarted the MAC and it seems to have resolved itself? Rob

Did you refresh the store page?? The App store needs a refresh to show updates.. It was not showing earlier when I was updating Photo 7 Designer.

HI. I am unable to select multiple objects?? Or rather see them.. They seem to vanish as I copy and paste and when I select wireframe mode I can see parts of the other objects and none of some? On the wireframe view only 4 circles show.. there should be 6 on the 'solid' view only 2 show plus no city names??? Rob

Weird issue here... EPS file took 8 minutes to open? As a test I opened 3 AF files one after another whilst it was running the EPS file?? The AF files opened instantly? Thanks Rob

It would be say... I don't know.. A shot of a phone and I want to clip it to delete the background. I find clip paths quick and easy to do for objects and have 20 years of doing it. I find the selection brush for such things a little hit and miss. I have used selection brushes in Ps but always return to pathing. Unless its a people shot with hair; then the selection brush is better. A good chunk of my work is technical images to do with energy and engineering and a clip path is good to drop out the background quickly and cleanly. That said your idea shows promise. Cheers Rob

Yes exactly. Interesting.. I will try that and see how it turns out. Good show.

I was wondering.... Are there any plans to have old school bezier curve clipping paths available in photo? As Ps has... and if not any plans to have them? I use all three Affinity apps and have no Adobe on my system (which is crazy but great). Clipping paths for me would complete photo. Rob

Kill me now.. just kill me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how many projects I have completed with Publisher.... I am going one after another at the moment. Honestly I think I need to take a break Thanks and my profound apologies and a booked eye test. Rob

Have we lost image opacity slider in 1.7.3 on MAC? When I select any image on the document the slider seems to.. well not be available to the tune of no actual slider handle?? It doesn't seem to matter if I select the picyure frame or the lower image layer? Rob

Hi. Seems a simple thing but I was to interested in updating than clearing All well that ends well. Rob

Same here. Same pop-up screens. Publisher purchased direct from Serif with the Beta testing launch offer. Designer and Photo purchased from MAC App store. All at 1.7.3 Rob EDIT... Now all are running again??? I deleted the Beta version of Publisher off my system and did a re-start and now all is well. Running on a 2018 MAC MINI | i7 16gig ram | Os Mojave 10.14.6
