Affinity Rat

So why is when you click on a table, the table context menu doesnt show up?, when you click on a paint brush, the paint brush options appear! Inconsistent, UI.

If I understand the issue, it seems to work to me. Oops, I did my on iPad, my mistake.

I’m over my head here, but can you File print to PDF, then import that pdf in affinity and export with export controls?

@Paul Mudditt Here’s mine, tried googling it nothin. This was a research project that never got off the ground, damn again wrong time to give up shrooms an’ cactus squeezins. Hard to read, but at bottom says “who are those guys?” The shirt has faded, over the years, unlike me tho!

@Paul MuddittAhhhhh, come on Paul, real men program in machine language, usually while on mushrooms, with a tequila chaser. Looks like I picked the wrong week, to stop doin shrooms and cactus squeezins. The plane was on the damn ground, its @Alfreds fault, he did a touch and go instead of landing the plane.

@stojames Just got AI software thot I might try it out here. @AITCHdid a great job. :-) Tried it on granny too, but didnt like result, needs an AITCH Apho edit.

@Dude bro Like chill Dude Bro they will get to it eventually. They hate me way more, you only post 1 after 3 years.

@Alfred You bad! you provoking me! Gotta be strong not take the bait!

Well no one here knows, I suspect Pauls answer is the reality, ie it will work eventually. Cant expect much more. The rest of the babble, stems from my frustration with Apples attitude, but not relevant to the OP, funs over. Thank you @Alfred for landing the plane.

3.3 waaaaaaaaaah, dude, you light years past Edlin. Edlin you had to count chars to tell it what char u wanted to change, but I digress.

@AlfredO Did you use Edlin? What DOS version was that?

Just noticed his/her index finger is on the Apple logo! GarryP must have Photoshopped that sucker!

Prolly wondering why its out of memory! “Darn I knew I should have bought the expensive 2k ipad!”

@Alfredo "Very circa! Ok ok, circa circa! Veni, vidi, vici… Mr. Knowitall circa now!

Thou cannot control the sea nor where the iPad jolly-well saves its sh@t. King Canute circa 12 century.

I think the ipad saves a copy of items on the local device prior to uploading. This makes the save seem very fast, but in actuality sucking local memory. I have found that items save to icloud, when the cloud was unavailable, are still saved locally. The when available can take its time uploading. Other services cant do that because they aren't in bed with IOS. You probably know this better than I. King Canute 😊

I dont know if its coincidence but just tried going to iDrive.com on Safari and Firefox and it wont go, can anyone else get there from Apple device now? Never had this prob on PC. Going to try from my PC. PC cant go either…connection timed out. Wow they blocked it! 😊 Dont talk bad about the mighty Apple. Rebooted my router, Ok no prob.

Please excuse my cynicism but I think Apple do this intentionally, they offer a low cost version, then a huge price increase for more memory, they know the low cost version has so little memory, that it will fill up quickly, now they got you as a customer you will buy another to upgrade, end up buying 2 devices rather than one. They bait uninformed customer's with a low cost version in order to get them to buy another device….nefarious business practices. Apple worms!

Yes exactly, I dont synch either, but I believe that is what the iCloud is designed to do! I want backup and repository, I refuse to give Apple any more money and use iDrive to backup PC and IOS and am very happy with the service. Initially signed up for iDrive $5 USD for 10 Tb, upon renewal price jump up but it works well, and refuse to give Apple any more money.

Yeah, to think Apple give users 5 free gb of storage, golly how generous. I thought the point of a synch was to keep all devices consistent. I have 4 Apple devices and they give me 5 GB of storage to synch. Its pathetic for a wealthy, company like Apple to treat customers this way. Such a greedy and monopolistic biz. Yeah sure I can buy more, but they go out of their way to fill your device. File app says Move when it actually does a copy, and the menu item to delete is off screen and requires user to scroll to see it….disgustin!

Almost everytime Apple release a new ios until I update the ios my ipad starts hanging or misbehaving. Coincidence I think not. Anyway thanx Paul.

Yeah, its the eventually that is the big gotcha. I agree it will probably work eventually, but some people rely on it to work, and this is a big problem if it doesnt.

Just read this https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/09/ipados-26-will-make-the-ipad-feel-more-like-a-mac/ Anyone know how well this fits with Affinity products on ipad? This impo to know prior to being forced into an update that is not compatible with my apps. Apple have a record of doing this, so just trying to catch it before the issue arizes.

Thank you Alfred, I didnt even know about the ellipsis menu from the vertical toolbar, but found it.😊

Getting frustrated trying to create a simple table. Issues Inability to resize column Inability to change cell thickness Resolved issue with regard to resizing column, a cell in the column had white space it, I had inadvertantly put there, so until the white space was deleted, the column couldnt resize. Help says with entire table selected, how to select it? Answer: drag the columns or rows to include all cells. Most software I've used the table object is independent of its containing cells. I want to change the colour and thickness of the table not the cells. Ok once table selected colour easy, but help says Select one of the Border options in the Stroke and Fill section of the Table panel to adjust which border(s) are selected. Ok so where is the stroke and fill section? I’m sure its all there somewhere but not intuitive for me!
