[Crashing Designer when selecting font]

Thank you Walt,

either way, it should be fixed as it is extremely annoying

[Crashing Designer when selecting font]

Thanks v_kyr for the info,

unfortunately, I'm running already the W11 22H2 version. No updates with the mentioned number is present (KBXXXX).

I think this should be reflected in the next update of Affinity and not vice versa (removing OS update because of the software).

[Crashing Designer when selecting font]

The Designer is crashing when using shortcut in font selection. 

Steps:

1. Open document
2. Select text
3. Go to dropdown to change font
4. Select/scroll to change the font (different font name)
5. Selection with mouse is working.
6. If you decide to start typing starting letters of the font in the input...designer will close/crash

Any idea...it's my configuration/language? ...what can cause this.

Thank you for suggestion.

[Can not move object with mouse (with wacom tablet)]

Yes, definitely it weird behavior - sometimes it works well, sometimes pen stops working, sometime mouse and vice versa. Problem related to this; when the previous described error happen,  adding new ruler (vertical or horizontal) works weird as well. For example, if you want to create new one and drag it from the ruler area, it doesn't show its trail. This means you can not visually control where it is, you see only the mouse pointer.

[Can not move object with mouse (with wacom tablet)]

Yes, this was bug on previous versions of Designer. You don't need to restart whole designer, just close the project and re-open -- this at least worked for me.

However from 1.8.3 should this be corrected. Do you have enabled Windows Ink in settings of Windows 10?

 

[Can not move object with mouse (with wacom tablet)]

Strange behavior happened few times. I was not able to replicate it with same steps, but sometimes I can not move object with my mouse -- object can be selected, but not moved. I'm only able to move that (any) object with my tablet (pen). After this is done, the movement with mouse is again working. Anyone encountered this behavior?

Thanks...

[No PDF bookmarks]

Hi there,

I see no support on this on the latest version (1.8.3). We are slowly trying to migrate to Affinity products in my studio, but some missing features in Publisher prevent it. Designer is great, Photo is great. Publisher...still not there yet.

Is there any official roadmap for this? Any news from Affinity?

[Designer "Preferences" navigation not working]

I have to agree with @nodeus because the expected functionality would be "next -- previous. the reason for this is that the usage of "back -- forward" is limited. It maybe makes sense to go "back", but "forward"? Where forward...

I understand the intention of the developers and the concepts, but from my experience the concepts are often changed based on the usability tests. We often prepare concept for client, but very often change it based on the user feedback.

PS I know this will be heresy here, but Adobe PS, AI, etc, have in their Preferences "next -- prev" buttons

[Designer "Preferences" navigation not working]

There is a bug in the navigation of the "preferences" UI.

The arrows "left" and "right" are not working properly. The "right" one is not working and the "left" one is taking you back to the main selection.

[Export size differ from artboard size by 1px (pt)]

Sounds great! Haven't thought about the grid of the layouts yet, but now I see that it will be useful feature. For example to distribute the artboards and align them. Now I thinking about them as "objects"...

[Export size differ from artboard size by 1px (pt)]

Hi MEB,

Thank you for the explanation. It sounds only logical, considering that you have various types of units (not only decimal). I think this is very helpful explanation as figuring this out was not a trivial

 

[Export size differ from artboard size by 1px (pt)]

Well in that case, does Serif has any explanation for it? It really seems to be a bug...

[Export size differ from artboard size by 1px (pt)]

I have just test it and you are right

[Export size differ from artboard size by 1px (pt)]

Thank you for the quick reply and info @walt.farrell.

I see, so the coordinates of the "whole" number. Hmm very strange behavior as when you exporting specific Artboard with specific size, it shouldn't matter where it is position in "space".

[Export size differ from artboard size by 1px (pt)]

Hi there,

Have anyone encountered the problem when exporting artboards. Sometimes the export size is off by 1px. I was not able to find why...

Here is the export window:

...and here is the size of the artboard:

It basically doesn't matter if you select in the export area "Selection" or the specific artboard name.

Is this known bug?

 

 

[Missing vector elements when exporting into PDF]

Hi @Vormgevertje,

I think if you can share the files with the Affinity development team, they will be able to help you. I couldn't do that as our files were confidential.

 

[Bleed is not showing on artboard]

Hi @Sean P

Thanks, for the confirmation.

I have realized after thorough searching that the bleed is visible, but the background of an artboard must be adjusted to very dark color. So on big monitor it is really thin line...

[Bleed is not showing on artboard]

Bleed is not showing on the Artboard.

The bleed is there, you can snap object to it but it's not showing. It doesn't help to show/hide bleed or Clip to Canvas on/off. Is there any other option how to display it on the screen...

[Toole measurement toolbox is hidden behind anchor of bounding box]

Hi @Gabe

Thank you for the update. Based on your answer, this could be implemented in the next release.

[Improve Wacom integration please! Pens and pencils stop working with Wacom]

Is there any specific date when the 1.8 beta will make to release? As the pen support is crucial for any design work...

[Toole measurement toolbox is hidden behind anchor of bounding box]

Quite often I encounter problem where the toolbox with the measuring distance is hidden behind the anchor of the bounding box of the object. See below the image for details . Even simple zooming out doesn't help to show the numbers in the toolbox. To go around it it is always necessary to zoom out to very small zoom ration and then the toolbox will appear - see 2nd image.

I know this is just UI tweak and probably the measurement toolbox should be displayed next to the anchor. Does anyone encounter this?

[View Tool (H) suddenly stops working, or its shortcuts]

Hi Gabe,

Thank you for the update. Just quick question: Is it possible to have installed both versions Live and Beta in one system?

[Place... (Image)]

Found it

 

Thank you for the help!

[Place... (Image)]

I see, and is it possible to add keyboard shortcut to this command?

Thank you

[Place... (Image)]

Ok, understand this is default option however:

Place an image?

We are using same command and same menu as in other Affinity programs and there is only place (see below from Publisher), there is no such item as "Place Image"
