  1. Well at least you payed for V2. By 2023 november, maybe they will fix the export crash and save to external ssd/hdd corrupion. V1 will not be fixed anymore as there will be no more updates. Cool, huh? Meaning V2 is acutually a V1 with some new tools, and same bugs. How on earth can they be so stupid???????? Not fixing at least these saving bugs, but even more, including them in V2 aswell. I bet even exporting artboard with bleed to TIFF will still give me white bleed instead of actual bleed content :)))
  2. LMAO, was just about to say, that V1 will NOT be updated anymore, so ALL the bugs will be permanently here. What a piece of sh!t devs!!! Well forum mods, what say you to this? And even present in V2 LOL.
  3. Why don't you guys real a little bit in the forums? It's always 2 threads up or down.. This is an ongoing issue since November 2020 for me. I bet all of you who experience this have Drive, Dropbox, whatever installed, even if not saving to the cloud from affinity. Anyways, there is NO solution. Force close 1-2 max 3x, then it works fine, until you restart your Mac again. Then, you need to repeat, after every restart. Don't expect a fix, I've posted this issue in 2020, and still no fix. Maybe V2 will be a better app.
  4. This bug + the 1.5 year old crash when "export bug" = Super Combo!! I was having trust issues even before, with all the crashes. Now whatever type of export or save you want to do, chances are, you will hang yourself. Serious bug: export persona crash since 2020 - ... workaround Serious bug 2: saving can crash your entire work - ... workaround Serious bug 3: since 2020 exporting an artboard to TIFF with bleed, will add white borders instead of actual bleed - .. workaround This whole app is a workaround!!
  5. Great, a new issue that will take 8 months to fix. It's even more stupid that it closes the file instead of just prompting "can not be saved, try again" Just closed a file on me and lost 20 min of work... FFS!!!!!!
  6. I'll be thinking HARD on throwing out money again for an Affinity app, if V.2 ever comes out and they charge again for it, as rumors say :)) You can find the workaround in my year old post. Aka. let it crash 2-3x, then DON'T turn off your mac. After every mac restart, it WILL crash 2-3x. While I do understand Affinity has a staff of 10 or so, I do not consider it OK to let errors like this linger for a full year or more. And other bugs too that make you lose money and time to find workarounds.
  7. In the future as.. 2047? Because I've reported this a YEAR ago, and still not fixed. This and many other still present bugs, like the now famous crash when cloud drive app is installed. I'm sick of exporting to rasterized PDF then convert to pixel image in Photoshop.. It's a simple bug that is present since 2021 and nothing was done to fix this!
  8. Well, the only workaround is to not shut down the pc or laptop after you force close the app. I just had to force close it 3x before I could export my file. Other times 1 force close and it works after that. Just remember, after every restart, you will have this circus of force close.
  9. Don't expect to be fixed, this is happening to me since Spring/summer of 2021. And still NOTHING! I'm glad that more and more people experience this, maybe this way they will fix it by the end of the year, and proves that I'm not nuts! Just force close it 2-3x, and after that you won't have any issues UNTIL YOU RESTART YOUR MAC, so try to leave it in standby. Let me guess, you have some Google drive or some cloud drive (even if you're not saving files in it) ?.
  10. I wonder if this issue will ever be solved. It's ongoing since last year. And getting worse and worse. The forum is full with threads of export persona crash, yet moderators still ask questions instead of reporting it over and over and over again. I believe I was the first one to post this, after last year's update. Still no answers, still not solved. 1. Crashing happens after first computer start in export persona. 2. We have google drive installed, but crash happens even if you don't save to cloud. 3. Force quit is the only option, and it won't happen again until you reboot your mac (at least for me) 4. Happens to EVERY type of file. new or recovered. 5. Providing crash reports solves nothing and makes absolutely no difference. I have been sending them in and posting them here since last year. NOTHING!
  11. This is an ongoing issue on Intel as well, since last year's summer, and they still haven't fixed it. My thread about this is constantly being ignored. I had this 1x on my intel mac, after a force close it was working fine until another restart of OS (i just close the lid, for weeks). But now with latest update I get it randomly multiple times. Single page documents, multi page documents. Just hangs in export persona and beachball spin until I force close. Honestly I am glad the messed it up even more, maybe they will put their heads into it and fix it this time. Other that that, crashes randomly to desktop. Even when there is nothing opened. Sometimes when I maximize from dock, it disappears.
  12. Done. Thank you, the Add did the trick. Also not sure what gradient are you talking about, as i just selected the circle, pressed add, and it snapped. The circle has no gradient and the 10 has a gold gradient, but they are individual objects. Anyway, thank you
  13. Hello. I have a weird file, that has a rotated element. Because it's at -45 aprox, the boundry box messes up alignement of the logo, as it makes the selection larger than the actual shape (when selecting everything, to align). How do I "apply" this rotation, so the boundry box snaps to the right edge of the circle, instead of showing up at 45 angle. (select the circle under 10, and you will understand what i'm talking about). Thank you rotation.pdf
  14. Just restarted my laptop for a OS update, and after 3-4 exports, the 4-5th froze the app. Brilliant! It won't happen again until I restart my laptop again (I restart very very VERY rarely)
  15. Well, too bad, because they'll sure as hell won't fix it in this version :)) Maybe in the upcoming update.. It's been 3 months and no reply, no fix, no nothing. I get around this by not restarting my Mac after I force close 1x. After you encounter this issue, do newly saved thumbnails show up OK? (only affinity files)
  16. Exporting to PDF gives me bugs, as I have mentioned it on the forum some time ago (transparency bug thread, by me), but surprise surprise, Ignored and present till this day. All I wanted is to rasterize everything via TIFF export, because I want to get what I see, and don't need further edit.. And export that rasterized image with bleed.
  17. Again I need a TIFF document with bleed and AGAIN I can't export it. Admins seem to ignore this issue.. What should I do now??? Why the F*** did I pay for this beta app is beyond me. You must understand my frustration, as I am against time, making money, and can't give the client what he wants!!!
  18. I sometimes make artboards for labels, and just fill them with black, instead of making a rectangle and dragging to the bleed edges.. it worked until recently. There is no need to add a rectangle as background, instead of coloring the background.. It's an extra step, and like I said, it worked before. Other people on this forum suggested it to me, because I was working like you, making an artboard, then making another background on it (for no reason). It shouldn't work like this, because guess what, if you don't use artboard (but still use bleed) and repeat the same thing on a non artboard document, it exports fine. When you create objects over bleed area, the export ok as PDF. But not in JPEG, TIFF etc. That's a different bug, still bleed related. That's why Bleed is a joke in this app. It behaves differently in every situation, when it simply shouldn't.
  19. If you make an ARTBOARD, and fill it with black (no square, no nothing, fill) and export, it will export as white bleed. If you make the SAME but no-artboard, a simple print A4, and fill with black (no square, no nothing) export, it works..
  20. No it doesn't work. Make an artboard w bleed, fill with a color, export it as PDF. Bleed is White. - It only exports correctly if you make a black rectangle or whatever color on the artboard, if you just fill it, it won't work (but IT DID BEFORE!). Bleed is a total mess in the latest designer versions..
  21. As you can see, 2 months have passed, and still nothing. There is no use in working in this app if you are serious about your workflow. It's a good app to learn vector, then move on to Illustrator. I SERIOUSLY don't understand how can bleed, a very important thing in printing, can be ignored in a so called design software..
  22. I've been reporting this issue in 3 threads now... Here is a crash log, literally just had it again. It does this ONCE after every macOS restart. after that, no more. Until you restart or shut down your mac again. For me it also screws up thumbnails on affinity files ONLY. And I see only affinity logo as thumbnail. After restart, it works fine for 2-3-4x exports, thumbnails show up, until next export with color wheel freeze. Not in export persona, but while you are in export persona and press export and the "save to" window opens. That's when it hangs. App not responding. Force quit, working fine after that, until next restart.. Latest mac OS, latest affinity, MBP 16" i7. Error.pdf
  23. Well the spinning wheel freeze is new, but the OS and the app updated quite close to each other, so not sure what the cause is, but I know all other thumbnails show up, only Affinity related ones don't.
  24. MacOS Monterey, MBP 16" i7, latest everything. It happens randomly when I export. I didn't get a log as I force quit. And when it crashes I submit the logs. ALSO: it's the 2nd time now, after this weird thing, newly saved documents don't display thumbnails Until Restart... both are designer files, one is saved before the force quit, one after.. Now until I restart, all affinity files will look like this. All other formats display correctly (PSD, PDF, JPEG bla bla) I now also have a publisher on the desktop with no thumbnail..
  25. Now with random crashes there is a new crash, when pressing export in export persona.. Happens random, on random files. Actually it's an infinite spinning circle, until I force quit.
