I’m using 2.6.2.3228. The filling of the iPad memory has to be an artifact as the memory allocations are orders of magnitude higher than the document sizes.

Just now, I opened a 20MB document from the sandbox, edited the document, returned to the sandbox, and saved my latest version to the iCloud. The Data and Documents storage in my iPad increased from 4.74GB to 8.95 GB as a result of these actions. In the last 3 weeks, I have deleted and reloaded AD twice, and each time the data and documents storage level was over 100 GB. Could it be an issue with my iPad? LEROY REV05c blobs 300.afdesign

I save my documents to the iCloud, but I generally work from sandboxed versions. Could it be that every time I exit a document, it’s not overwriting the previous sandbox version?

I have been having issues with Affinity Designer "files" totally filling my iPad storage for years and have reported it multiple times. I only keep 1 or 2 documents in the "sandbox" and save often, but once again this has sneaked up on me and I have lost 3 hours of work. I understood this was fixed in V2, but nothing seems to have changed. For me this is a large and fundamental flaw in Affinity Designer, an app that is otherwise awesomely sophisticated.

I think I have found the problem. I was confusing the loop closure command with the join command.

V2.5.7. The issue of “apparently high” levels of app data continues to cause issues. This time the AD froze and I lost days of work because I had to remove and reload the app. I pointed this out two years ago with V1, and it still represents a major problem. Please try and address this ongoing bug.

I create two simple curves using the vector brush, I select both curves, and each curve has a ‘head and a tail" I then select the two nodes I wish to join (head of one, tail of the other) and tap the join button (iPad). However, instead of a straight line connecting the two curves, I get a huge v shaped curve that I can’t get rid of. Have watched videos, but no help.

The symmetry tool is definitely useful, but getting the symbols synchronized is a bit tricky and seems to require switching the object from move mode to node mode and back again. Sometimes I need to convert the object to curves, and then use the move tool to get the synchronized objects to undergo simultaneous changes. I find similar issues with the knife tool. Thanks for introducing me to the symmetry tool, it's great for working on mandalas.

Is there a tool similar to that in pixel mode that will allow me to make symmetry operations using vector objects in the same way that can be done with the paint brush in pixel mode? I am using Affinity Designer V2.

Darn, I was hoping to convince my wife to let me buy a new PC! The number of selected vectors that leads to a problem seems to be quite consistent, e.g., if I go over 2100 it invariably pops out to the front page of the app, but not to the page that contains the thumbnails of my projects. The issue does seem to get worse as the data and docs associated with AD gets larger so I am routinely removing the app and reloading it to remove files. Thanks for your input.

I have a project that comprises tens of thousands of small vectors (generated from a half-tone app). When I attempt to expand the vectors into the actual half tone circles to allow me to do a Bolean add, the app crashes unless I keep the number of selected vectors to less than about 2000. I am using the iPad version, and I wonder if I am simply asking too much of the program. Should I be using the PC version?

iuli: Thanks for the words of encouragement, I have pretty much adopted your approach.

1. I always start a new file with the + sign in the app. 2. I generally use the app to open an existing file, but I do sometimes select a file I have stored on my iPad or Dropbox which then asks me if I want to open it in Affinity Designer. 3. I have never used pasteboard copy. 4. I do switch to other apps while Designer is open, for example, to mail if an email comes in. I don't do this a lot, but I know it happens. 5. I generally use the preset parameters that come up when I create a new document, e.g., 144 DPI. Same with the color format. 6. I almost always use vector, but occasionally bit map for erasing, etc. 7. I have been working on a fairly complex project with hundreds of individual vectors. I have noticed that it sometimes takes an uncharacteristically long time for the project to save on the home screen when I leave the work space. 8. I always save from the home screen, and almost never use export persona. I do export files quite often from within Designer. 9. When I use place, it's almost always with a photo or simple jpeg or png 10. I've never imported stock images 11. No special functions when I import/export. 12. I think my largest files are about 25 MB (bit map) 13. No anti-malware 14. I haven't knowingly registered any file types as default apps. The only thing that I have been doing a lot recently is working on my files with both Designer and Adobe Illustrator, and doing work on the files in both apps. I've been using Designer for several years, and this issue has ony recently appeared. I have attached a copy of the file I have been working on. When I Save As from Adobe for subsequent work in Designer, I generally use Dropbox and send it as an SVG. Thanks for your help in this matter.

For the second time in three days, my iPad data cache has been filled with hundreds of GB of "apparent" data through Affinity Designer. This data disappears if I totally remove Affinity Designer from my iPad. I understand that this is a known problem, but I wondered if there was any estimate as to when this bug might be addressed.

So I should be able to use the same email address and password for both? (I only have one email). Sorry to be bothering about this, I really like the Affinty apps.
