That's great, can you please confirm that hardware acceleration is ON in the beta

We do not comment on whether ideas are accepted or rejected, otherwise everyone else posting in the suggestion forum would demand to know if their suggestions were accepted or rejected also. No you cannot demand copies of what you wrote. Keep your own copies if that's important to you

Please could you try the new 2.5.0 beta with Hardware Acceleration ON (join our beta program) and see if the problem has been addressed for you? Can you report your findings in this linked beta thread below made to share the results.

In another attempt to fix the artefacts that can appear on Windows when developing RAW files in 2.4.x (with hardware enabled), we have changed the RAW processing pipeline. Please can you report in this thread any problems you continue to see with RAW processing when using the 2.5.0 beta builds. I will be asking users from some of these threads to come here and test the beta builds and post here (rather than their original 2.4.x thread)

When the font contains no alternatives/stylistic sets, I think it would be good to put that information in (grey) text rather than be blank and therefore confusing

That change just missed this build, thanks

note, 26 April 2022

Data Merge is not part of this feature, but we understand that it's likely to be a priority for implementing a way to achieve it

This thread is not for feature requests and barcodes are unrelated to QR code as far as implementing them, so this doesn't help advance Barcodes, sorry.

A number of Publisher panels have been completely refactored and so they may well have some unusual behaviour. Text Style Panel/Editor Paragraph Panel Character Panel Section Manager (macOS only) Please report what you find in regard to these 4 panels in this forum, thanks.

On Windows you will likely need to reset your toolbars (part of CTRL+Run-up) to get the new Line Width tool

The file format is not designed to be small it is designed with fast drawing in mind and image previews of all files are saved. "Linked" in an affinity file mostly means "watch out for possible changes" so the internally saved previews (at a number of sizes/zoom levels) are still there in the saved file, just not the original source file. Without those previews it couldn't draw quickly as you change zoom level. Perhaps we could offer a slower loading smaller sized "save minimal" that always regenerates the previews of a linked file on each load but that's not what we have currently, sorry.

What? This deal was done 3 weeks ago and you seriously think "noticeable progress" (by which I assume you mean new features) will be beta ready by the very next cycle, as a consequence of Canva influence or involvement? It's hopefully starting this week. The contents of 2.5 are no way to judge any influence in my opinion as it's really early days. But I do love your thread and the scope of it's ambition.

Sorry it's not solved for you. We will be starting a 2.5.0 beta soon and I am sure that this can be resolved

These tags are simply used by our team to track certain conversations about features / feature requests - they do not indicate that a feature will be added to the apps, or indicate any specific timescale for features once added to a thread. They are purely an internal tool for our teams metrics and information gathering therefore I would not recommend paying them mind as a user. Once we have information to share about new and upcoming features, these will almost always be posted first in the New Features beta section of the Forums

Here's a list of some of the bugs which have been fixed in beta build 2.5.0.2402, since 2.4.2 (2371) Please reply in this forum only to comment on any fixes which are in this list (in particular to let us know if you notice that something we say is fixed isn't!)

Nope. Just don't include any AI and everything will be fine Otherwise I will use my (unpredictable) judgement, and your posts including AI could be removed. It's that simple
