Hmm, some filters have that "Preserve Alpha" checkbox... maybe that's the issue....

Is there a stroke on the source?

Because it's their app and they do as they see fit... 🤣

Absolutely agreed. I rely on the Help >Search to quickly locate and execute commands instead of hunting around the main menu's hierarchical structure, like using macOS's built-in Spotlight Search to quickly execute opening apps, doing simple calculations on the built-in calculator, finding contacts, etc. A quickly accessible CLI is invaluable. Please return this vital functionality. Thanks for all you do!

I like punny yolks, keep 'em coming...

Thanks @GarryP I missed that!

Egg shape is an importan design primitive. Would be great to be able to modify the radii, the distance between the circles, and concavity or convexity of the curved sections between circles, for hourglass shapes, all interactively.

Thanks for checking @MikeTO. I have the same performance settings... However, I just rechecked the file on both beta and retail versions and the performance seems to have returned to normal... perhaps my system was low on memory or running something in the background, I forgot to check Activity Monitor to see what was going on... I guess I will keep an eye open and report back if the issue resurfaces....

While scrolling vertically thru a complex document (300% zoom), I can see the redraw struggle to keep up with panning, and Designer renders the document in low res/blurry for a few seconds before the final sharp view renders. This is not the case with retail v2.4.1. @Sean P I'm using the complex file I recently uploaded to you here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/202459-designer-macos-beta-242-breaks-rendering-of-fx/

@Sean P thanks for the prompt reply and staying on top of this one, much appreciated! Yes, the Precise Clipping is the issue! FYI, the issue persists in the new 2.5 beta.

Thanks for replying @Ash Btw there is currently partial support for single stroke fonts, except some characters don’t render, so hopefully it wouldn’t be a huge deal for the devs to slip it into an upcoming beta…

@Ash, it’s great to see support added for this format of fonts. Will this new font support upgrade also feature support for single stroke /centerline fonts used in CNC applications? Single stroke fonts do not define glyphs using a perimeter outline filled with color, but by a single path (just like handwriting) to define the centerline of the letterform, with no outlines around the glyph. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE include support for this font format. It dovetails perfectly with the new DXF support. I can’t use ANY affinity apps for typography bc support for single stroke fonts is missing….

Yes, it goes away when I delete the artboard and keep the objects! Correct, that was NOT an imported PDF. That's the native file that's misrendering. Yes I tried, it makes no difference whether or not an external monitor is connected, it still misrenders the file. Desktop Publisher renders the same file perfectly, just as Designer and Photo did up until the last beta 2.4.2, with or without external monitor. Designer on iPadOS (2.4.2) renders the file perfectly as well. @Sean P It seems like this is an Artboard issue on macOS for Designer and Photo..... Below are the remaining screenshots you requested.

@Sean P, i will re-upload the .package file in a bit… Sig is outdated, I’m on latest macOS Sonoma… I don’t think so, that doesn’t make any sense, otherwise why does Publisher render the file fine but Photo and Designer fail at rendering the same file on my computer with the same setup?? Also, why did it render fine before the last beta, now it’s broken (only in Designer and Photo)? Remember this bug started as a bug only on export, now it has crawled into the main rendering display… my setup has not changed at all, same monitors etc.
