I've tried searching the forum for this answer and couldn't find anything that really answered my question so here it is: Is there a way to sync actual files across my devices that use Affinity Designer? I work on files between both my PC laptop and my iPad a lot and I would love to be able to access the same file easily on both devices just by logging into my Affinity account without having to save the file to an external folder like onedrive for example (that's what I do now). It would be amazing if Affinity implemented a way to do this like Adobe did for lightroom and photoshop where you can access your files by logging into your account. Maybe it already exists, I just couldn't find how. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I’ll test with a different brush to see if that was the problem. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the advice. That’s actually what I did to both versions. I applied expand stroke to both curve drawings, then divide, one produced a shape with a "fill" one produced an outline. It’s strange because both drawings are almost exact.

I need help with the divide function on iPad. I have 2 almost identical shapes that I want to add a colour behind by using the divide function. But when I select divide for each shape they both divide differently. One as desired one not as desired. I attached an image showing the difference. You can see that one divides with a "fill" shape and the other divides with the outline shape. My question is, how do I get shapes to divide consistently?

Does anyone know how to get the expand stroke or convert to curves feature to work on iPad? I’ve tried both features and neither work on my iPad but work just fine on desktop. I attached a video showing the issue and I really need a way to make this work. IMG_0425.MP4

Awww... too bad. I was so excited when I saw this feature. Of course all the other new features are amazing, but having the ability to showcase my work would help grow my business so much!

Where is the timelapse feature? It was in the beta and I was most excited for this! Thanks!

That's really to bad to hear. I also tested this with the "pencil" tool today (not the vector brush) and the same thing happens, although less noticeable because it's a solid stroke. I was really hoping this issue would be fixed when the app was updated next, especially since it seems to be an ongoing issue for years, like you mentioned. But I guess that was just wishful thinking. It's a real shame because it's really the only thing keeping Affinity Designer from being a really great vector drawing app. Fingers crossed maybe they'll surprise us!

Ok thank you, your explanation make complete sense, BUT how do we fix it. And it's not so much that there is a start and end section to the brush, but that the brush section actually SPINS around and around in a circle even if I leave the pencil completely still before dragging to create a stroke. This is actually what causes the circle/rainbow shape at the beginning of each stroke. If the spinning action could just be stopped, I think that would actually solve the problem all together. Or maybe the sensitivity of the angles for the vector brush could be lowered so the spinning stops? I'm not an app developer so these are obviously novice suggestions, lol. I think what makes this more of an issue is that I don't have this problem on any other vector based app I've tried on my iPad, and it really makes using the vector brush with textured brushed pretty much impossible. I love the affinity products so much, but it seems incomplete without the vector brush function. I'm really hoping there is a fix to the "spinning" issue to the vector brush before full release. It would be a shame to wait months or years more for it to be fi

The vector brush within the Designer iPad Beta 1.9 is still not functioning correctly. When I touch the tip of the Apple Pencil on the screen, the brush spins uncontrollably or creates a "blob" on the very tip of the brush stroke. This was an issue on the current released version, and has been an issue (from what I can see in the forum) for years. Can this PLEASE be fixed before the beta version is released? This is a HUGE issue when trying to draw precise drawings using the vector brush. You cannot have a stroke that is not precise every single time the pencil touches the screen, or be required to edit every single stroke that you create within a file. Currently the vector brush is not usable because of this issue. See attached video showing the problem. Please fix this issue. It is a function that EVERY other vector drawing app out there has fixed. I've tried them all and none have this issue when using the apple pencil to draw with a vector brush.

Hello, FIRST I need to say I am SO EXCITED that a time lapse feature was finally added to Designer!!! I've been wishing for this for a long time and will make promoting our work and the app so much easier. Thank you so much! Unfortunately it's not functioning correctly within the beta version of Designer for iPad. I tested the time lapse export feature just now on iPad, and it does not function correctly. Here are the 2 bugs I found: 1. When trying to change the filename of the time lapse file, it will not change, even if I type a custom name in the filename box. It always exports with the filename "export" 2. I cannot export more than 1 time lapse video within the same session (without closing and opening the app). Ex: I opened file #1, selected "export timelapse" from the menu, and exported time lapse video #1. Then without closing the app I opened file #2, selected "export timelapse" from the menu, but the file that was exported was still time lapse video #1. I tested this multiple times with the same outcome. The only way to export a different time lapse video was to close the app and open it again between each time lapse export. These 2 bugs definitely need to be fixed before launch as it causes the timelapse function to be un-usable.

@HeroicNate thanks so much for pointing that out! I can’t believe I forgot to check that! It’s good now.

It won’t let me duplicate or save the file. If I try to do anything with it he app crashes and kicks me out. Not sure what else to do now. I can’t even delete it.

Maybe I’m missing something but it’s definitely not fixed. Exact same issue is happening in the new beta version. Look at the screen capture video I just recorded. Not sure why mine still does this. It’s SO frustrating! IMG_0279.MP4

I just spent hours working on a file for a client. I backed out of the file to double check that it saved and now when I try to open it again it says "Loading Failed. Unable to load document." I’ve already tried the following: - closing affinity and opening it again - restarting my ipad - saving the file - it crashes when I try to save it Does anyone know how to fix this? Here’s a screenshot. The file isn’t supposed to be black.
