Thanks for testing my file @DM1 I did have two adobe apps installed but I now deleted them. I rebooted my iPad but nothing happened. Should I reinstall AD on my iPad again now that the Adobe apps are deleted? Is it the Adobe app specific or should I delete all Adobe associated files in my iCloud too? Here is a screenshot the file association in the info panel. Thanks again for your help. How do you like using the Documents app instead of the native Files app?

Hi @DM1 What app is that “recents” widget for? It looks super clean compared to the files app widget. Unfortunately this issue is only affecting “afdesign” files. When I first installed AD in July of 2020 I was able to see the file preview thumbnail for files saved with the .afdesign extension, after I updated the app to version 1.9 (I think) back in February or March of this year is what changed my file previews for the .afdesign files. I have tried that save a copy option as well. The only thing that seems to bring my file previews for afdesign files back on my iPad is if I open the project files on desktop and re-save it that way. Here is an attached project file. The project file I attached is a re-saved file (on iPad) from a project I originally worked on back in October of 2020. I just noticed the file size difference is quite large, though kbs are rather small a jump from 600 to 32 a big difference. Rounded Rectangle Chat Icons [Re-Saved].afdesign

So I decided to purchase a new license for AD using my new Apple ID so I can test the project files in the files app with a new Apple ID. The issue still persists even with a brand new apple ID. Im wondering if this intended behavior with the 1.9 update from earlier this year. Does this happen to anyone else? Are you able to see your file previews from AD project files in the files app on your iPad?

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has responded to my post, I appreciate your help. Hi @Leigh I really hope the family sharing thing fixes it for me. I will contact Apple however, because I still want to find the root cause to the problem.
-
@Paul Mudditt thanks for your response. I already tried that option as well, as you can see in my original screenshot there are some files with no "cloud icon". I tried clicking that cloud button but it didn't change the thumbnails
-
I have enabled family sharing on the account where I purchased AD and when I try to access AD with the new Apple ID I get this error. I tried some solutions online to fix it but none of those helped this time.

Click the thumbtack icon on the top right of the layers panel, this will “pin” the layers panel so it won’t hide anymore

@Patrick Connor never thought about that, thank you for your input I really appreciate everyone’s help. I really hope this works, otherwise I might just change to a different app for my iPad. It’s unfortunate because I really love use AD, I have created so many projects within the year I have been using it. This “bug” isn’t a huge issue really but for me it has definitely impacted my workflow, since I create such a high volume of new projects I rely heavily on the preview image of the file to help me organize and identify projects. I have been trying to work with this “change” but I noticed I haven’t been wanting to work on projects as much, it takes so much time just trying to find the correct project to open.

@emmrecs01 my request is “unusual” because it’s the last option I have at this point. This “bug” that causes this is rather “unusual” and I am surprised that there isn’t a fix to this yet. But what would Apple Support do to help me in this case? I already bought another iPad and that didn’t fix the issue.

Is it possible to transfer my AD ipad license to a new Apple ID without re-purchasing it on the new Apple ID? It’s random request I know….but I think it’s the only option I have left. Ever since I updated AD to 1.10 on my iPad earlier this year the file thumbnail previews changed from the file contents to the default Affinity Designer logo. I posted some questions on the forum here and people stated that it’s probably an iOS issue. So I did some tests to see if anything will help remedy the issue but none of them worked, which leads me to believe that the last option for me to “fix” the issue is to create a entirely new Apple ID. I conducted the following tests: - Signed out of iCloud and Signed in - Delete Files app and re-install it - Delete Affinity Designer from iPad and re-install it - Factory Reset iPad - Bought a New iPad One test I haven’t conducted locally is send some of my AD project files to another person who has AD installed on their iPad. I have been trying to work with it but my workflow definitely has been altered. I still want to use AD daily this “bug” is making it difficult, I don’t want to abandon Designer totally but there has got to be a fix for this. Clicking the “cloud” icon to download the file doesn’t do anything either

Measuring Guides

I already know how dynamic guides work, my question is regarding “measuring guides” on iPad specifically. -
Measuring Guides
Ision Industries replied to Ision Industries's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
These snapping guides are called Dynamic Guides and they do help out when snapping but this isn’t exactly what I am looking for. I am looking for Measuring guides that show the distances between objects relative to the selected object, as shown in this screen recording. Note, this screen recording is showing the measuring guides feature on the Affinity Designer desktop app, I am looking to access this feature on the iPad app. -
I was reading about “measuring guides” for the desktop app in this article here. I mainly use the iPad app in my workflow so I’m curious how I can enable these type of guides while working on the iPad without a keyboard. How can I see the distances between objects relative to their group and other objects? I have attached screenshots of some of my projects on desktop.

I just noticed this while working with isometric objects. There is a noticeable gap between the objects and the top edge of the bounding box. What is causing the gap like that? I should note that I have these isometric objects grouped together. Thanks for your help

Affinity Designer for iPad - 1.8.6

@Patrick Connorwell it looks like I just have to wait until the next release after 1.9 to start using AD on my iPad again -

No Affinity thumbnail previews in iCloud Drive (Files app)
Ision Industries replied to iuli's topic in V1 Bugs found on iPads
I’m trying to figure out a different workflow until this gets fixed. My normal workflow is not effective with time anymore. So I’ve been trying some work arounds: - working on projects on my iPad -> save to iCloud -> open exact project(s) on desktop and save again for iPad use later -> reciprocate or - Leave all projects open on the home page and never close them (is this what the sandbox is?) both methods have their drawbacks but I really need to see the actual artwork as the thumbnail to work efficiently so doing all of this extra stuff is worth it for now. -
No Affinity thumbnail previews in iCloud Drive (Files app)
Ision Industries replied to iuli's topic in V1 Bugs found on iPads
Hello @Gabe This is more than just a "small cosmetic" issue. The missing artwork thumbnails definitely hinders my workflow, to the point where it makes it difficult to work on anything. The volume of projects I produce in a given day varies so I rely on the thumbnail images to select projects. Why does it seem like I am the only one dealing with this issue? Regarding the email discussion, they haven't provided me with a fix or solution to the problem yet. So I am utilizing all options to find help with this problem until I can actually find a fix. So that leaves me with a few options: - Wait for a new AD app update to come out - Download/install the previous version of AD before 1.9 - Dump the app and move on to another product I would hate to pick the last option as I have really developed a solid workflow with AD. I love it much more compared to AI. I would like to actually fix this "small cosmetic" problem because it was working perfectly fine before I updated to the 1.9 version. I would like to understand why updating the app caused this issue. -
Hi there, I'm just curious if there is any possibility that I am able to download and install previous versions of the app pre 1.9?

No Affinity thumbnail previews in iCloud Drive (Files app)
Ision Industries replied to iuli's topic in V1 Bugs found on iPads
Hi @Gabe I know this thread is old but I may be dealing with a relevant issue. Please I need your help as I have already contacted affinity support about my issue and the problem is still ongoing. -
Hi @Dan C I think I may have run into the same issue. Why does having the text as an art board cause problems like this with SVG export?
-
Is there a way to change the thumbnails back to the original thumbnail? After I updated all the files I save have the AD logo as the thumbnail instead of the actual project contents. I’m bad at naming files so I rely on the thumbnail to pick which projects I need. On another forum someone said that the files will eventually change back to the original thumbnail. But it hasn’t changed yet.
-
@Dan C yes I should have uploaded a project file before hand. I’m just curious if the outline mode is displaying correctly because I’m assuming that the snapping works on point regardless of the grid render bug. Abstract_Isomeric_Shapes.afdesign

@Dan C sorry about that. Here you go

Hi @Dan C I exported my project from Affinity on my iPad and opened the project in Illustrator. The exported file opened in AI as expected. The isometric cube planes were identical to the the original affinity design just displayed in different dimensions. I personally really like how the Isometric system works in Affinity and I’ll work around the grid zoom render bug. Which brings me to my next observation, I just came across the “outline” view mode in the navigator studio and I’m curious if the outline view mode is rendering properly. I often make isometric icon designs so I’m using super small art boards. The zoom level is not at 100% but as you can see in this screenshot, in outline mode some of the edges of the shapes look aligned correctly. Except for the bottom left group I can see I need to fix some of the edge alignment. But im just wondering if the outline view mode is rendering correctly. Thanks for your help
