I guess that's a limit of the PDF specification.

You can change the settings via Edit/Settings/User Interface. This is how it looks on my machine (Windows 11)

Something to do with Sync Size and Sync Spacing looks like...

The pledge to offer Affinity free to schools and non-profits is amazing. It will enable so many kids to learn with Affinity, and they will go on to use Affinity in their professional careers. This is something that would have been hard for a small company to offer but which the acquisition enabled. Bravo.

After binge-reading the forum threads and comments on youtbe for half the day yesterday, and almost getting depressed, I'm glad that Serif has come back here with a few more statements. Although I can fully understand many of the comments and fears.
But: The last statement from Serif makes me feel quite confident, ultimately the future and common sense will show where the journey will take us. Now that I have migrated all my work data to Affinity, I would be happy not to have to switch back to Adobe

lets not make this a dirty witch hunt, okay? we put our concerns here, this came as a shock to everyone, and anyone in this needs to evaluate the new situation for themselves with possible options in either way. this certainly is an emotionally loaded topic, especially for those who depend on the affinity suite for their Job (like me) and feel like they got screwed over out of the blue. 
but its not helpful to attack freshly registered users or staff members. keep it civilised. i respect that affinity didnt moderate this thread. usually you would see threads like get wiped from negative comments or completely locked/deleted. 
I think the general sentiment and concerns got voiced and now its up to canva where this goes. lets not spiral that into a hatefueled poopstorm - this makes that difficult situation just more toxic for everyone. 
I will share my honest constructive feedback as years long pro affinity user in the survey they put out, just for the case i was wrong with my pessimistic view on this ordeal, but im sitting on packed bags because of all the red flags. 

The reason is simple. The V1 was unlocked with a serial number, which was like an invitation to a free banquet for pirates.  
Online verification made it more difficult for pirates to use the software without a valid license. 

Thank you to the Affinity team for the clarification! I am a committed user and Affinity "evangelist" so the new 4-point announcement makes me very happy. I am also excited by the possibility of the Affinity Suite getting online collaboration features. I work with a team that uses a mix of Canva and Affinity apps so the merger would make our lives easier. 

What I normally do when faced with a situation like this is: clone/inpaint/heal as per normal, or whatever works best.
Then, I would use a smudge brush to drag the missing hair parts so that they reconnect with each other. You would have to set the smudge brush strength quite high, 75% or more other wise they might not be visible.
There are other ways I'm sure, but this method has always worked for me.

Your Setup.log or SetupUI.log file should have more information.
Press the Windows key and R, and paste this into the Run dialog box, then press Enter: %TEMP%\AffinitySetup
You''ll get a File Explorer dialog, showing a folder (maybe more than one). Pick the one with the latest date/time and open it. In it, pick the Setup.log and SetupUI.log files with the latest date/time and look at them. They will have more information for you.
If you need help interpreting it, you can post the files here and we'll do some interpretation.

From what I've read, V2 has been available in the Mac App Store from the very beginning, @Richard Liu. And it is regularly updated there whenever updates are made.
What Apple region are you in, and are you sure it's not available where you are? It is a separate application, so you wouldn't be prompted to update from V1 if that's all you've purchased from the MAS.

We are not, we are all very excited about what has been said and the future for Affinity. This thread is about your response not ours. As an employee of 24 years I am personally very pleased about what Ash has announced and the Affinity and Canva pledge.

Many thanks. I'll roll up my sleeves, get out the virtual spanners and give that a go.

The problem is that if your stylus shifts slightly while clicking on the brush, it is taken as an attempt to drag the brush to another category or another location in the brush list. In that case, though the brush is highlighted, it is not actually selected for use.
This is a known issue, as yet unfixed: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=AF-1453

As you're on Windows, it's possible you installed the wrong update package, especially if you've chosen to use the EXE/MSI version rather than Serif's default MSIX version.
If you had to download the installer manually, which one did you get?

Vector brushes in Affinity Designer are not fully vector. They are raster images stretched along a vector path, except for the basic brushes.

This is currently by design but there is an improvement logged for this to be changed in the future.

Hi Giverly,
Unfortunately at this time there is no way to limit select same to specific areas of a document etc. I'd recommend making a post about this in the feature requests section.
Thanks

I believe that this is the correct answer in this thread I will make a log with our docs team for this to be updated.

Examining the file with a hex editor it looks like there are some significant areas of corruption, which may explain the error message when we try to open it.
However, by creating a new document, I was able to use Document > Add pages from file and that was able to recover some of the data, though I cannot tell how much. I let it try adding the complete file.
Here's what I got; you might try that approach yourself as you may be able to recover more of it than I could, at least the linked resources that I don't have access to:

I have made a log internally with our developers to take a look at this issue as it does appear as though the L value is being modified despite the help stating this shouldn't be the case. I'm not sure wether this is intended behaviour and the help just needs updating or not but once I receive more info I'll post an update here.
Thanks

Hi Affinity Rat,
In Publisher you should still be able to type content etc as the layer lock works the same as in Photo, you will however need to switch back to the table tool when selecting the locked table object in order to edit any of the cells. Its also worth mentioning that items on master pages may look locked when being viewed on an actual page without edit detached enabled I figured its worth mentioning this just so you don't catch yourself out.
If you have any issues let me know.
Thanks
C
