BRAVO AFFINITY !! Photoshop copy paste selections show up fine until you close the document, after, well, tough luck. Probably will get a fix by summer. So now I need to work more, exporting files instead of simply copy paste.

Will the bugs ever end FFS??? Now the images I have copy-pasted from photoshop get overwritten randomly. I have corrected it 2x so far, but every time I open they are all the same image.. Yet in the preview of the file (smaller image - MAC preview), you can clearly see they are different! WTF dudes??? How many workaround do I need to do to finish a damn job? I used copy paste from photoshop into Designer since forever, always worked. I swear, when you guys fix something you FK up 3 other things. Cussing won't help? WELL HOW ABOUT ME NOT GETTING THE JOB DONE?!?! It will be the 3rd time I replace them..

Yeah, welcome to the crash club. Good luck waiting for a fix, it's been around since 2021. It took them 2 months to fix the save to external SSD issue :))))))))) Whenever I export, I have to force close about 5-6x /day. I always leave them a nice "FU" message in crash report, as they deserve nothing else! Since FKN 2021 !!!!!!! I wanted to believe in them, further support them by purchasing V2, believing they will fix this. Boy was I wrong, lazy a$s devs!

I don't get it why aren't they updating export persona if they cant fix this issue. "Save as" works, "save" also works, only damn export persona has issues!!

History doesn't matter, as the point is recorded once you make the adjustment and let go. That is a state, but not in history panel. Then another state is when you add and move another point. Moving forward and backwards is possible in PS. I just installed V1 and it's not working. Either a patch messed it up or I can't recall. Yes the workaround would be adjust then close panel, then adjust again.. But that seems primitive, when other apps allow it. In PS i could get 2-3-4 states. But in affinity if I hit undo after a point, it closes the panel instead of deleting the last point.

+1, I used the undo when I messed up a point in curves, and moved back one step only.. PS does the same..

I believe 97% of people here don't work with artboards, as I don't understand how else they are not furious with the constant crashes.. Working with artboards "forces" you to use export persona, where freeze bug lives.. Also working with artboards forces you to move stuff around, revealing selection bug.. For others to understand my frustration, the day before yesterday, I had to modify a project, I was working on it, random crash.. I opened the file again, luckily I had just a few modifications to do, worked on it, hit save... file was on external ssd, so It close on me... I opened it up again, modified, saved to local ssd, went to export persona to export for client - it froze... SO I OPENED IT UP AGAIN and that time it worked. I wonder how many would work like that, on 6-7 different projects (all with 7-10 different artboards) and be sane after a day like that.

BUMP! Still defaults to CMYK sliders

That backwards compatibility issue killed all my chances going back to V1.. V2 has at least 2x the amount of bugs V1 had! It's simply unacceptable that after today's update, NOTHING was fixed. Well, beside the save to external SSD issue which should have been hotfixed 1 week after launch as that was a SERIOUS issue.

WTF DID THEY FIX IN LATEST UPDATE????????????? bleed is not fixed, warp bugs are not fixed, selection bugs are not fixed, and this export persona bug that has been logged 1 and a half year ago still not fixed!!!! Are you serious???????

I already posted 3. two weeks ago and they completely ignored it :)) as usual.

ATM you can only warp shapes. I've noticed it too. Was so happy for warp, and then I realized it's only shapes and not content nor images :)))))))))) All the videos I've seen were about shapes and text only. It's still at least a minor step forward. If it would allow to warp content too, that would be cool AF, and we could create a workaround for mesh gradient. But it's just the aliexpress version of the warp tool.

I'm sorry to pick on you EmT, as you are not a dev, but simply a gateway between them and us. All our bugs are reported in separate threads, labeled as known issues, since V1, yet still no fix on any of them or ANY news.. Why can't they simply announce a patch coming in january or february, so we know at least when to expect some fixes?? At the moment I can't even imagine when will a fix come, for all the serious bug (crashes, freeze, unable to save, selecting errors, etc.). Will it be in the spring, in the summer? Next winter? Why is it such a big secret? "A fix is on the way in 1-2 months" is more comforting than "labeled and passed on to be fixed in the unknown future".

At the moment you can't export to external SSD/HDD. I know the feeling, I've worked on a file from an SSD and hit save.. losing everything I have worked on. It's simply lazy ass f*ckery to ask the user to save to local drive, and move after. It's been almost 2 months already, how long are you gonna play with paying customers insecurity?? Workaround (AS ALWAY WITH THIS APP) is to save to local drive OR, simply hit force close from Activity Monitor. That at least restores some of your work till the last autosave.

I have no issues exporting bleed to PDF (rasterized or not), but to TIFF of other formats, it simply throws it out the window. Bleed is a joke in this app. It's an important part of an image, invisible, but NECESSARY, it's simply extra dimensions that we require, be that vector or raster. I don't understand why developers can't fix this. Working with this app upped my insecurity levels, checking after export if it's there or not.. It's bad when you don't trust an app that you label "professional". There's also the issue when creating artboard, then filling it with a color, but the bleed remains unfilled. WHY??? Since when is bleed not part of MY document? If I create an artboard with bleed, that means I NEED THAT PART! If I fill the background with black, why are the bleeds not filled? Isn't it logical if I fill the document with black, I want black background? If you print that document, you will have white edges because your bleed is white. This just adds another step, to make another rectangle as background. And in V1, in 2020 when I started to use designer, it worked nicely, filling document+bleed, as should.

It is a bug, V1 behaved as should - Locked always remembered the one I used. Otherwise what's the point of the lock there? Unlock = changing to document profile, lock = locked to what you chose. Both locked and unlocked behave the same now. It reverts to CMYK for me too, even if I open RGB, even if I lock it to HSL..

How do I make the color panel stick to whatever I chose?? I've tried unlocking and changing, locking after change, locking before change, after I close a document, It will switch back CMYK in print documents.. Sometimes to RGB in RGB files (even tho I select HSL). Is this a bug? Is this another "feature"? Am I missing something? V1 was sticking to HSL regardless of file opened.

And yet still the industry standard app is still industry standard and is widely used all around the world without issues. Serif again knows better than all uf us. Somehow Serif again, is "better than the others".. But then again.. Worse.. Round it up as round up the arttboard I am working on, not in the final export.. So at least I can see it before saving. Artboard is rounded up after export. Also, this app is so precise that 1x happens 1x not, just like Patrick mentioned :))) I've made another 25mm document an saved without white line.

Yeah, wanted to comment about not changing units. I only work in pixels (online work) and mm (for print). Not changing units. For pixel units I understand it has to be on full pixels. But in print, I do not understand why can't the app just round up that half pixel!!! I have never required half a pixel in print, and if the "others" do it correctly, why can't affinity do it the same (or at least optional)??? It only makes me look unprofessional, as when you send it it mails, you clearly see a white line. Sometimes they even ask me what's up with the line?.. It happens because 25mm at 300 dpi equals that amount of pixels and a half!! I do not want to change units for every work I do and always correct artboards to be full values.. Half a pixel is useless, just round it up or down like the others!

I don't understand where did you come up with Photoshop in this case.. You do know Adobe also has a vector app, and you can export raster elements with PROPER BLEED in Illustrator. Just because OP used suite, doesn't mean this same issue is not present in Designer (IT IS). Bleed is a complete joke in this app and they got away with it for years now. I am furious because I have constantly reported this bug since 2021 and nobody gave a "poop". When I make complex designs with lots of effects I like to rasterize all, so print company doesn't mess up. I've had a fair bit of issues printing Designer files, that were OK in app, and had a weird artifact when exported. A bug also not fixed to this day. So I converted to TIFF, but to my surprise there was no bleed. A problem also reported multiple times and not fixed! So I have all the right to swear and rant, because these are not new bugs, and not minor bugs. It's always with a workaround. And that's why this company gets away with this, "meh, just don't bother, there are workarounds. Clive u want another coffee??!". How many years must pass to get this fixed?

This is the same shit bug that makes exporting to TIFF impossible with bleed. I do not care if it's raster or vector, if it's present in the design and in the bleed, I want it there! Serif has no right to decide for me "oh it's raster, well we won't enable you bleed". Bleed is bleed, doesn't matter what form of image it is! YOU NEED BLEED even in photos that are 100% raster.. because that's how printers work.. But Serif knows better what we want, it's unfixed since the beginning of 2021.

I have kept my Mac running for weeks because this app is messed up.. I've got used to it by now. But in V2 it's random. 1-2 export, then random freeze. Force close doesn't help anymore. Also in V1 whenever the app stabilized with 2-3 force closes, I have lost my thumbnails for newly saved Affinity files. Whenever thumbnail got back for freshly saved file, I knew freeze is back. And so it was. But in V2 thumbnails don't disappear anymore, and like I said, random freeze. Let's see how long I can stand this. I don't know about the rest of you, but I use Designer 6-7h / day, working on 4-5-6 even 10 different projects, all with multiple artboards, so I feel the struggle, because I export frequently.

How is this THE ONLY APP that gives white lines whenever I export something for print? I have tried the same 25mm document at 300dpi in both photoshop and Illustrator, guess what?! NO WHITE LINE! Why is this happening in this crap app, always!! WHY do you guys think you know better than the customer, and make this shit default?? At least make it an option for the 5% people that use it. But hey! I'm talking to the same company that messed up bleed since 2020, and never fixed it :))))) "But wait! there's a workaround, convert document to pixel, make integer number, convert back to mm and you are done. Basically waste 10 seconds of your life every new document, because our coders are lazy ass f*cks and think they are better than Adobe." I have all the right to rant, as I have paid 2x for the apps. I DO NOT WANT WHITE LINES, HOW DO I AVOID WHITE LINES FROM THE START?! I do not care for your pixel perfect shit, I want to avoid white lines from creation of the document. If the industry standard app doesn't give white lines, don't try to reinvent the wheel with Designer V1 or V2!

Workaround doesn't work anymore in V2. So whatever they did, they F**d it up even more!

1 save OK, 1 export freeze. CONSTANTLY!! I must use export persona, because I work with artboards, making 7-8 dimensions at once, and in a hurry because tomorrow they all go on Holiday. You can't imagine the amount of genitals I "send" at Serif for being so ignorant bastards. Just now It fuking close on me because I forgot about this handicapped app can't save to FAT, and saved to ssd.. after crash, I saved a copy locally, then export persona - freeze. JEEEEEEESUSS F-ING CHRIST! Seriously how am I suppose to work like this?
