[How To Backup & Restore Studio Preset]

If you run the app as an Administrator, does the folder then get generated in %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0 (Store)?

No. It's not generating it.

[How To Backup & Restore Studio Preset]

In %APPDATA% I have no Affinity folder.

In fact with the suggestions above it didn't find anything, so I did a search in the file manager with the name of the set of studio settings I had saved and found it in that path.

[How To Backup & Restore Studio Preset]

In my case in the latest app versions the 1.10.5.1342 from the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, the path is as follows:

C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Packages\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto_844sdzfcmm7k0\LocalCache\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0 (Store)\Workspaces\Custom\

For the other apps, in the path only change the long name folder that will contain Designer and Publischer in the name (and of course the folders with just the app name).

The folders that appear immediately indicate the various workspaces/person.

Well, thank you, Nathan.

[Grainy lines when I rotate the paper in Affinity apps]

Good morning, everyone.
I started drawing and painting with Photo on Windows and noticed this display problem when I started rotating the paper to draw some details better.
I have tried using Krita and by rotating the sheet this does not happen and the lines remain clear and well depicted in the rotation.
The curious thing is that if I rotate only the layer where the stroke is, it doesn't fade.
The same thing happens in Designer.
Below are some videos and my settings, but it looks to me like it's an issue with Affinity's graphics engine with document rotation.

Thank you.

Thanks Dan, I hope they fix it soon.

I noticed that we both have a similar combination of GPU and CPU, however I report my configuration below.

Having therefore the same video card I can confirm that the version of NVIDIA Studio Driver that I have installed at the moment is the most recent: 516.94.

I usually use a Wacom Intuos Pro, but this also happens with the mouse.

In my case if I create a new layer to paint, the problem seems to go away.

The system I'm having the problem with is a PC that I assembled:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3900X
RAM - 32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16
GPU - Nvidia RTX 2070 Super
Imput - Logitech MX Master 2S Mouse; Wacom Intuos Pro (2017) Driver 6.3.46-1
OS: Windows 11 v. 22621.457
Video driver: Nvidia Studio 516.94

Use 27 "monitor at native resolution of 3840x2160 60hz interface resizing to 150%

And here are the Designer settings.

Okay, and here's mine.

Sorry to reply.
Here is the video

[Vector brush slow on first stroke only]

Hello, everybody.

I'm experiencing the same problem myself.

To me the slowdown happens towards the end of the stroke-pencil, a slowdown of even several seconds with fairly long strokes.

Only as I was preparing to record the video, having rebooted Designer I can't replicate the problem!

However it has shown up for me other times (sort of randomly).

I'll post the video when I get a chance.

I hope there are no problems with the Italian language.

In the tablett imput method I tried all three suggestions (Low Precision, High Precision and Windows ink).

So, the tablet is a 2017 Wacom Intuos Pro M model PTH-660.

Hi NathanC!

The monitor I use is a BenQ PD2700U, not G-Synk compatible so I had already disabled it from settings.

I report below two screen recordings: one using the mouse and the other using the pen. When using the pen (with wacom tablet) the problem is more pronounced.

Stai usando più viste (cioè finestre)? Stavo avendo problemi con lo strumento nodo durante il trascinamento che ho riprodotto aprendo le viste. Sembra peggiorare se gli zoom sono drammaticamente diversi. A volte non permetteva di posizionare punti.
 

Hello debraspicher.
Unfortunately it happens even with a single document and without views.

[Lag as soon as I move nodes or objects]

Good morning.
I'm experiencing an annoying lag that occurs as soon as I start moving objects and nodes of a curve in both Designer and Photo. For example, if I modify a curve, as soon as I hook the node and start to move it, an initial lag occurs, continuing the movement instead everything works normally.
This delay is more pronounced when I use the graphics tablet.
All this also happens with a new document.
I have tried various combinations of system graphics settings, also disabling hardware acceleration and OpenCL acceleration and various retina renderings, but the problem always occurs.
I also tried various precision details of the tablet both high and low, but nothing.
The Affinity software versions are as follows: v. 1.10.5.1342 Windows

The system I'm having the problem with is a PC that I assembled:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3900X
RAM - 32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16
GPU - Nvidia RTX 2070 Super
Imput - Logitech MX Master 2S Mouse; Wacom Intuos Pro (2017) Driver 6.3.46-1
OS: Windows 11 v. 22621.457 (This is a beta prewiew, but the problem also happened with released versions of Windows 10/11)
Video driver: Nvidia Studio 516.94

Use 27 "monitor at native resolution of 3840x2160 60hz interface resizing to 150%

In the use of Affinity software for now I do not encounter other lag problems besides these and the fluidity in drawing with various brushes and in performing various elaborations are very fluid.

[Various information about the document]

Good morning!
In Designer I can't find a summary on the information of the document I'm processing, such as how much it weighs in terms of system resources, that is, how much the file occupies, how much ram it takes, the resolution etc.
This information could be integrated into the title bar of the document, as is already the case in Photo to have it at a glance.
Thank you for your attention!

[How can I preview pictures in fullscreen mode ?]

It is simply an essential function to implement, displaying the work in full screen helps a lot in certain situations. In other software like Photoshop and already implemented.
Please add this opportunity to both Photo and Designer and Pubisher.
Thanks and good job!
