Yep, same problem here. I think an Affinity file should have the possibility to be saved on an external drive. Since when is such an easy thing such a problem for the Affinity software?? It worked well so far, until version 1.9.1. I hope there'll be a solution quickly! I'm not gonna have enough space on my internal hard drive and I've always worked directly from my external USB. Not gonna change that because of an "update", which is in fact a downgrade if you ask me. These are major and unnecessary flaws that disturb the (professional) workflow.

Hi Affinity Forum, I fear the update of Designer (version 1.9.1.979) contains a bug. I was putting down some brush strokes on a pixel layer that I had just moved away from the canvas edge. From that point on I noticed the pixel layer had automatically restricted itself (like when you make a selection) to a smaller surface to work on. Exactly where the canvas edge was before, there now was an "unwritable" white strip at the bottom of the pixel layer. Usually I could drag a layer anywhere on the canvas and draw outside its range (expand the content of the layer) as much as I wanted to. Now I had to restart the desktop app to make it work again. Another question: When I try to invert a selection using (Ctrl+Shift+i) the selection range always goes baserk. Instead of turning the selected area into unselected pixels and vice versa, it doesn't match the range I chose anymore and just randomly selects a small part of the canvas at the top left corner. Drives me insane. What am I doing wrong here? This is a recurring "error" I've seen in the previous version and still see happening in this current version of Affinity Designer. Can't find any clue in the workbook or on the forum. Please help! I'm using Affinity on Windows. Thanks in advance! Ruben.

Great! Thanks! It seems to have solved the two problems.

Hello, Last 2 days I started working a lot with the updated Designer, mainly in Pixel Persona. And I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem, so I thought I'd report it to see if you guys can help me out. Sometimes when switching to the Move Tool it suddenly doesn't respond to my commands anymore. Dragging, rotating nor scaling. Also several other tools will be disfunctioning at that point, like the selection tool will show no example ghost lines. But when I close and reopen the document or in worse cases the whole program, the problem's gone. Seems to be the only way to "solve" it... Cause when it strikes, there's no way to get the software to respond correctly again but by restarting. It's very annoying and constantly interrupting my workflow, for it happens quite often! Second problem is that while working with my wacom tablet I cannot always scroll up/down or sideways using my wacom pen. It should work like this: Holding down the little pen button that represents the left mouse button should enable me to scroll putting down the pen point on the tablet and dragging it across the surface. If I'm lucky it will work, but in most cases it just doesn't respond and I have to use my mouse wheel in order to scroll. So not the most important or urgent thing, but very inconsistent and I do like to find a way to make it work properly. What could be the cause of these errors? Can you help me fix them? Greets, Ruben.
