It sounds like you may have already updated, but if you haven't, you can simply click the link that's provided by the apps. That page then offers the same link that @carl123 provided.

No special font installation is required. Many are available without having to do that (although, of course, you can install specific fonts if required). When you touch and hold the text tool button, you get the choice of two tools: Art Text and Frame Text. You can see the choices at the bottom left of the first screenshot. Once selected (I used the Frame Text option), you can drag out a frame and enter text, which can then be formatted, as shown next. You can see the frame is selected in the Layers panel. Hope this helps?

iPad Pro 13" (M4), iPadOS 17.6.1 Bad(?) news - it loaded fine. I've not been a raw shooter for many years, so this was probably the first time I opened a suitable file in Develop mode. 99.99% certain that's the case on the iPad at least, where I have only recently started to explore the mobile Affinity apps (in contrast to experience on the desktop versions that goes back years). In case it's significant, my workflow here was to download the sample file on my Mac, move it into my iCloud drive and open it from there on the iPad from the Open Document option within Affinity Photo.

Hi @Furry I've not done much with Publisher recently, but have used inline graphics quite a lot in the past. I would occasionally apply the text wrap to the text frame by accident, rather than to the graphic. I wonder if that's what's happened to you? Easy to check - ensure your graphic is definitely selected and then double-check the text wrap setting again… If that doesn't explain it, sharing your document - or a small extract containing an example of the problem - might be required to get to the bottom of this.

My apologies, @grandpa2390, you're right.

If you're simply reading 18GB off your screenshot, then no, sorry, that is not the installed RAM. It will almost certainly be a multiple of 8: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 48GB, etc. That 18GB (18432MB) is an Affinity Photo setting for memory management. Unfortunately, the Help page, while explaining what it is, doesn't provide any guidance on choosing a suitable setting. To find the actual RAM (memory) installed on your Mac, the easiest method is probably to go to the  menu in the top left corner of your screen and select About This Mac. As you can see from my screenshot below, I have 16GB RAM installed. However, the RAM Usage Limit setting can still go up to 65536MB (64GB).

Hi @Dr. Alex I've never been into the mobile versions. But I've got the M4 iPad Pro and the Pencil Pro, so I decided to have a dabble. I don't know if the following is what's expected or a workaround - but it seems to work. The screen-recording shows create an ellipse convert it to a curve select the Node tool tap with one finger outside the curve and hold while you tap the curve to add new nodes Does this help? If this is not what you were expecting, what, as @walt.farrell asked, is your workflow? Untitled trimmed.mp4

Following up on what @thomaso said, check what's actually assigned to Undo in the settings for your Affinity apps. This screenshot is from the current version of Designer, but you can use the same steps in the other pair of apps too. Open Settings, go to the Shortcuts section, stick initially with the main Designer persona Select Edit from the second drop down menu (this corresponds to the Edit menu on your screen) Locate "Undo" and check what key is assigned…

The six month unrestricted free trial is a pretty good deal for potential users - and a pretty good marketing point too. I reckon that if they were locking in the current sale pricing, the marketing team would be trumpeting that just now as well - and I'm pretty sure they're not… There may more surprises like that in store for us in the future, but don't bet the farm on it right now. As @walt.farrell and @Alfred both said, we have typically seen several sales each year: some short, some for longer periods - and various discount levels. You pays your money try it free for up to 180 days and take your chances! 😀

I can't say you're not having problems, @ferpando, but I've just done what you basically outlined and it worked exactly as I would have expected. I took a newly created, untitled Affinity Photo document and Saved As to my personal Microsoft 365 OneDrive space, changing the name from Untitled to "yestitled". When I checked it in the iPad's Files app, the file name was correct. When I opened up the oneDrive app, it showed correctly there too. It has also synched correctly through to my desktop Mac. I saw in your other thread that you seemed focussed on pCloud, which I wasn't previously aware of. How about when you tried one of your own OneDrive accounts?

Safe mode actually goes a little further than that - but all in the name of trouble-shooting. The key thing, perhaps, is that it will also clear system-level caches, which will be recreated on the next normal reboot. (You'd need to clear user-level caches manually or with a third party utility.) Use safe mode on your Mac: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/116946 Definitely worth a shot if you've got odd things going on.

Teething problems? 🤷‍♂️

Ask and - just occasionally, if you're very good - ye shall receive… Affinity six-month free trial: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/trial/ From the notes at the bottom of the page: Can I use this 6 month trial if I’ve had a previous V1 or V2 trial? Yes, we’ve reset our systems so everyone can try Affinity again, regardless of whether you've previously taken a trial of any of our products.

You mean you're not part of the beta programme? Too bad. This DēLonghi/Affinity hybrid (the "Affiniti mk1") is currently limited to using the rotary button on the top to launch the suite all at once. However, I understand that the three buttons down the left will shortly be reprogrammable so that we can launch the individual apps as required, all while making the morning brew… DēLonghi engineers are experimenting with upgrade kits to allow suitably experienced customers to install additional buttons down the opposite side for advanced configuration. 😀
