[Drag and Drop of .ai file isn't displaying properly - but does in Word and Powerpoint]

You're welcome @S.Capri I'm glad you're enjoying using the Affinity Suite and thanks for volunteering too.

Thanks for the video @DarkClown we are aware of the issue, and I have passed your video on to development.

[Drag and Drop of .ai file isn't displaying properly - but does in Word and Powerpoint]

Hi @S.Capri

Thanks for uploading the file Sandra, you're welcome. I have managed to recreate your issue.

When an AI file is saved it is saved with two streams of data: Illustrator native stream and also a PDF stream. As we cannot read the illustrator native stream we have to read the PDF stream. However the PDF stream has an embedded subset of the fonts, and right now we don't have the ability to load embedded fonts. However this is something we would like to look at in the future.

Depending on your needs and if you don't need an editable file - a hi-res png file can work well instead. The .ai file would need to be opened in Adobe Illustrator and exported as a hi-res png.

Hi @PRJehle

Welcome to the forums. Would you be able to attach a screen recording so we can see it as it happens please? It would be a huge help if you could enable the onscreen keyboard for the video so can see what keys are being pressed and when.

[Closing the Document and Edit menus with Apple Pencil hides the UI]

Thanks for the screen recordings both of you, and the tip @DM1 - I should have mentioned that.

I'm not seeing this on my iPad Pro 2020 model but my colleagues have found it on previous models. I am going to log the issue but out of interest @jeffreydevey what iPad model are you using?

You can work around it by changing your settings - Preferences > Interface > Automatically Hide UI > Toggle it to off.

I was able to complete the project by working around the problem, but I would say the issues that created the problem are still there. I suspect it has something to do with the way Affinity Designer handles joining curves when the two open end nodes to be joined are in the same position, resulting in redundant overlapping nodes where there should only be one node. The "Add" Boolean operation gives the same result, which you can see in the video I attached earlier in this thread, quoted below.

 

 

Glad you were able to work around the issue, I was also able to recreate it. Could you attach a copy of the document you were using? I would like to pass it on to development to be looked into.

Hi @jeffreydevey

Sorry for the delay in replying. I was unable to recreate this by just tapping as described. Do you know if you had the flyout open when this happened?

Hi @Pete C

We've managed to recreate the issue and a bug has been logged. I would recommend using one of the other methods mentioned above as a workaround in the meantime.

Hi @broadcast

Is there any chance you could attach the afpub file? Also what version of publisher are you using.

Welcome to the forum. Can I check what version of Publisher you are using please?

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. Would you be able to provide us with a screen recording so we can see it in action please? Out of interest, does it still happen if you close the Appearance panel?
