I want to stay positive on this, but i just realized that even the title of this "heated" post recently changed from "Affinity is joining the Canva family" to a generic title "Canva" that doesn't even describe what this post is all about...

maybe it's a sign...

Hear the news on the BlenderArtists forum (and read some disappointed replies), and then read the announcement... My first impression: hmnnn, v3 most likely will be the beginning of the subscription plan, I guess the time is near to repeat the painstaking process of transitioning from Adobe to Affinity Suite, plus the period of evaluating any strong candidates to replace Affinity in my pipeline when the time comes (and hoping that replacement is not the Adobe Suite itself, although i still have my adobe enterprise subscription available to me). I hope I'm wrong, but... well, we'll see...

Is it possible to add a feature similar to object move data entry, but for the guides? sometimes it is useful to be able to move (and duplicate) a guides by an exact value rather than manually by duplicating existing guides (or type it manually using the guides manager one by one)

Will do, thanks! This is what i was using right now (or even using regular line tool instead of textbox), the only drawbacks is i cannot hide it quickly along with other guides, because it's an "actual objects". and in my case, I'm not using it for creating a lot (>105) guides, another drawbacks is i also have activate the snap to object when i want to use that "guides", so i usually create an actual guide and snap it to those textbox/line afterwards. One of my usage is to create some horizontal gutter guides, as affinity doesn't have a separate gutter value for columns and rows. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions!

Is there similar option for moving (and duplicating) like this feature but for guides instead?

+1 One of reason i choose affinity over PS is the 32bit editing and OCIO support.

It seems the issue is already fixed in teh last update, thanks! now i can completely uninstall v1👍🏼

is this means that there are no in-app delta update for the MSIX in beta? so the MSI and MSIX both requires full download?

didn't know about that menu, thanks @NathanC i guess affinity really needs persistent default setting for some of it's tools or feature, have to change the default behaviour of different feature/settings for every layer/tools is quite tedious.

Is there something changed with how boolean add works in v2? i've got different result from what i usually get from v1 (AFAIK even in Illustrator and other software that i've used, the boolean add behaviour is the same as v1). It makes creating a flowing cursive text (think of coca cola logo) harder and longer because i need to use shape builder if i want to get the usual (and correct) result. i only tested it on add mode, don't know if other mode affected too. In v2, the overlapping edge is not combined, but become a separated like what you get from boolean divide (except it combined into single layer/object)

that could work for adjustment layer that have channel selector, but it won't work for live filter because it'll affects all the channel including the image itself.

This is a simple example of the bugs, i'm using this setup a lot for my photo editing/compositing masking works in v1, and now all of them is broken in when loaded in v2. Original mask: Results in v1: Results in v2: As you can see in the example, the mask layer is disappear/inactive when adding adjustment layer (or live filter, eg. adding minimum blur to shrink the mask) to a mask. Disabling the adjustment layer/live filter reveals the mask again. And this is the sample document in case anyone want to test it in v1 or v2. mask_bugs.afphoto

succesfully update it, it seems the ver number is correct too

Did you mean that the v 2.0.3.1682 will not get autoupdate notification or it will get the the notification but nothing will happen even if i update it in-app? because i still got the update notification from the v 2.0.3.1682

the alias exe file i mentioned in the first point is the file mentioned in that post, i've got "file cannot by accessed by the system" when i selected this file. I guess i'll just wait for the regular MSI/exe installer then. as for the second question, it didn't get triggered anymore, i forgot that after a windows update, the dialog app setting is sometimes get reset, so after i define the my default tiff app, the dialogue box didn't show up anymore. thanks.

And fortunately, Serif have Affinity Publisher, so the PDF should be good if the software itself is good. I agree with this, and by looking at the manual they published, i would know that if it is a really good "user manual", or only a developer "feature documentation". sometimes i really hate it if i read some "user manual" that feel like it just a documentation that didn't help at all but labeled as user manual😞. most of the open-source software i used have tendency to write like a developer documentation rather than aimed at user (and i can understand why). But if it is a paid product, a good user manual is a must IMO. I remember the first time i try learn about electronic music gear, it is a steep learning curve but fortunately most of the gear i bought/used have a beautiful, detailed and well-structured (printed) user manual that i can refer to anytime i need it, and only ask/find someone more knowledgeable (internet is still rare back in the day) whenever i don't know about something that i can't find the answer on the manual.

@walt.farrell there's an explanation in that post Edit: ahahah, looks like we post on the same time 😅

And now the update pop up on APub is gone, hmmnn🤔

Strange, after i updated Aph to 2.0.3, now i don't have any update pop-up for the Apub 2.0.0 anymore, and the other post i replied questioning about the update changelog is locked/dissapear, is the update a mistake?

I don't know that's why i'm asked (i'm always updated it manually in v1). And there are no information on this forum and anywhere else about the updates, that's why i havent updated it yet.

is there any changelog showing after you updated it? i'm curious if it is the same version as the beta or not.

i've got the notification too, and i see other people already updated it, but i haven't updated mine. still waiting for the changelog, and why AD2 is not getting any update (usually they are on the same time).

if you see other section (not the beta section) in this forum, there are some people that succesfully updated, and yes one of the reason i haven't updated yet is bcause i haven't see any update on that post nor on my account download section.

+1 for this to, contrary to most of younger generation nowadays (especially my students), i like to read a PDF manual, whether it software or hardware.
