  1. Hi Lee where would you like me to upload the crash report? I am on MacOS, the document was originally created in the designer, however as discussed on the forum elsewhere, the wrong details are usually saved in the PDF metadata when exported from Affinity Designer. As a result, the affinity designer file was opened in to publisher, then field studio activated. In my case I was able to edit stuff that were blank. However the title section was filled incorrectly by the designer and as soon as I click on the placeholder to change the title, it crashes.
  2. The is also the case in MacOS... not sure if I am required to create a separate bug topic? I also wish there was a way to export selected slices in the "export persona" as a single PDF document. Rather than using the menu bar.
  3. Fair enough, limitations make sense considering the underlying tech. And you are right, affinity designer being anything but fit for purpose for UX 😂😂 I am not sure why I wrote it there. 🤦‍♂️ They can have my plus one for standalone UX app as well now you brought it up. However there is a simple alternative fix, that is the affinity designer to also include paper sizes in the presets as well, alongside the device sizes. Such A4 A1 etc as a sub category. saves us drawing manually.
  4. Hi, In my workflow, I pretty much use countless artboards, instead of just one document. Everything is great but there are some basic features that are missing. I just had to create this feedback as I have been wasting a lot of time manually transforming artboards since v1 rather than just being able to use the presets that are already baked into affinity, which is a shame: The preset on context toolbar is mainly focused on digital UI/UX designers, which is useful, however anything but enough... what if we are also focusing on print designs, needing A4 A1 business card etc... I left a screenshot from the default presets below (extremely limited) This brings me to the second issue, I tried to work around by changing the document set up, then using artboard tool -> picking as size document -> insert artboard. As you can see in the image attached, if the affinity document includes artboards, this option will be disabled and can not be changed after the initialisation. This is not the case for "one page" docs where we can freely change everything. Better wishful way of adding new artboard: Why not show the user the window that is shown when we create a new file, with all the options available Also even better, why not treat each artboard like a separate entity with different colour profile etc rather than being stuck to the initial set up we pick. Unfortunately we cant event change the basics if the document includes artboard let alone each artboard having it's own attributes. You might be asking why this is necessary, well I work on UI/UX and publishing aspects in my projects. So some artboards require digital set up, some require print set up. All and all would be nice to zoom in and out between various parts of designs. After all this is pretty much what the artboards were designed to do: "Artboards are discrete design areas...". Nonetheless even for someone who works on the print designs, the presets are pretty useless as they are all about mobile devices etc. not A1, A2, A4 et
  5. Hi, I am not sure if this is normal but it looks like a bug to me. I am not aware of it being discussed on the forum after I did a quick search for the solution. Problem: Using constraints with layers and groups lead to unwanted masking. ie the child objects will be masked by the group/layer boundary. This is not the case if groups or layers are not constrained yet. (photo below) Whenever using constraints on a layer's (not grouped) child object, it will not be denote on the layers panel, (as it does for grouped items, see the image This leads to confusion, because we don't know that the layer's child objects are constrained. Now considering that constraining leads to unwanted masking, it ends up like a bug, because it makes no sense and extremely hard to debug. If let say we touch any of the constraints setting in the constraint panel, for an object within a group or layer, the whole group or layer will be bricked, even if we revert back to constraint default setting. To use groups as an example, basically there is no way for us to unconstraint a constrained group (reverting all constraints setting after the experimentation or changing mind. The masking be there for ever. Note in all photos I have reverted the constraint setting back to default/normal but as you can see the masking is still there. Unfortunately the only workaround at the moment is to ungroup regroup, or ungroup outside of a layer and create a new layer and place them all back it. Happy to upload a video as well if you feel necessary. It is quite confusing to make the point across I believe. but I hope the direction for reproduction of the bug is clear. thanks Emran
  6. Ah perfect, I just gave it a shot and it is working now, that will keep me going for time being! 🙏 However does this not classify as a bug? quite weird zooming in & out every time we align 😄
  7. Is there a technical reason why full support has not been implemented for emojis in text tools.... I was about to post a feedback but it seems this has been an issue for quite a long time...
  8. Hi, Affinity 1.10.5 MacOS 12.3.1 There is a bug with text in Affinity designer. I tried new isolated files and it is reproducible. Not sure if it has already been reported. It happens with both artistic text and frame text tool. Issue: The issue is when the text is typed in and we click on alignment to align the text, the text OR part of the text disappears, in the examples below the whole text disappears however in my other files just the first half of the text disappears To reproduce: Open a blank document/artboard. Add a text from text tools click on alignment on the toolbar and choose any you like the text disappears and never come back, however still in the layers panel...
