I use AD1 and there is a workaround - as Walt wrote you need to renew this setting each time you open AD, but this the mentioned workaround: you need to copy the word with into Pages - click "learn word" (I dont know if thats the correct translation as I use another language), then close and reopen AD and the correct spelling is there without the red line...that works fine for me, but I do mainly vector illustrations and dont use much text so I dont have to do this workaround often

to be cautious does not mean to be fearful..-please don't belittle your fellow professional AD users and let us make our own decisions...ps: and a staff member laughing about this makes me think Serif does not in any way value customers...its not us customers who got hacked but Serif..

I don't have the option "select" only "sort by" and "filter by" Usually I would upload the screenshot to show you but that would be a bit strange now within this topic...

and I tried the way you suggested before but there is no delete option 😞

Walt I know...and I thought about it...maybe it's not necessary at all as the files have been there for a longer time..and nothing bad happened...but I think I'd feel better with deleting at least some of them...

in the aftermath of this hack, I wanted to delete all the attachments I posted in this forum but couldn't figure out how...how would I do that?

I know...I posted in this thread...it's outrageous...and the mod's dismissive answer😐

I do also have AP...which preferences would I have to adjust? how do you do it?

sorry but this is too simple: every artist has his/her style...uses brushes, particular colours again and again....and not being able to save this within the app without filling up all space on a 512gb ipad is horrible...you spend more time getting this fixed than actually being able to create art...and the most horrible thing is not being able to save the palettes etc. before deleting and reinstalling the app - what you obviously are forced to do because the app takes up all storage...and neither Serif nor Apple feels responsible.... the circle closes.

I think that, too...thats one of the many reasons why I wont use icloud...but nevertheless its Serif's responsibilty to sell an app thats working properly...an app is a consumer product and consumers have the right for a working product...if this were an analogue product I would give it back or demand it to be repaired...why is it different with apps? but as I wrote before...I wont buy anymore Serif stuff until the most necessary things are fixed...not that Serif will care much about it, but nevertheless...

sry for my delayed reply: I dont use icloud (and of course I do backups via itunes or imazing) and dont want to be forced to by one single app on my ipad taking up all space.. .I save my docs outside the Affinity Folder... and deleting and reinstalling again and again is not an option any more as I lost amounts of important colour palettes...as I wrote before, they cant be saved before deleting the app..another unnerving and very unprofessional feature of AD ipad... as Affinity and Apple dont feel responsible for this I give up, I dont have the time to fight against windmills like Don Quijote... I will stop recommending Affinity products to professional fellow artists and stop buying the products unless this problem (and many other problems like rulers, a light UI, etc) is solved...maybe developers should actually work with the apps over a long time and experience what many of us here experience with clients waiting, galleries pressing...maybe then user wishes would be taken more seriously and as I wrote before: I bought the software from Affinity and not from Apple in good trust it will work properly...as everybody else in this forum...

@callum txs for an answer...belated but an answer....I have read all the postings before and I have done everything (as I mentioned above) , deleted the app, reinstalled, resets etc....the storage is filled again in no time...I lost ALL my colour palettes each time I deleted AD and reinstalled it...because there is no way to save those end export...I dont want to seem rude but I bought the software from Serif and it is to simple an explanation to say its an apple problem...if that is going on for years there should be an approvement...but no: there are new versions sold with the same problem...this is almost a case for European customer services...I am an artist and surface designer and very often have to make changes to existing files and projects...it is absolutely time consuming and annoying to look through all my files because if I have some of them open in Affinity my storage of 512GB is not enough for one! Affinity app...I own AP also...and desktop version but due to the apple pencil I do everything on my ipad...

as its almost a month since my request I push it for Serif stuff to answer, explain and offer a solution...txs

of course I have done all of this...pls dont underestimate your fellow ad users...txs...as none of the other apps I use including adobe fresco, procreate, sketchbook causes troubles like this I still believe this is a Affinity problem...and again I ask for a proper solution for this from serif staff..txs
