Affinity Rat

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.

Thank you Paul, this is what I thot you meant.

Thanks Walt that did it, I reset by going to preferences through the menu after start…that doesnt work.

I'm not sure what that's talking about. It is well known that deleting the app deletes everything in the Sandbox, and in the app's automatically-created folder in "on my iPad".
That is surprising, as it has worked for others. I presume you did it by double-tapping on the Splash screen to get the Reset dialog?

Dang! you dont drink much do ya!
I’ve had a beer subscription for 40 years, dont mind that paying for that tho!  
Beer is transparent, seldom causes flakey connections, but will resolve itself by the next day.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nice!, now just need to detect whether Affinity V1 or V2 for this chap?
 
 

Modification date, if the file is moved it should not change the date. Even if you duplicate a file, its date is the same date as the original on iPadOS.

The example provided states a verification message has been sent to the phone number. Messages sent to my phone can be read from my iPad . In Settings Messages I have both my email and phone number entered. I don’t recall needing access to my phone. Just needed to sign in with same Apple ID as used on phone.
from apple
Go to Settings  > Messages, then turn on iMessage.
To select the phone numbers and email addresses you want to use with iMessage, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, then choose from the available options below “You can receive iMessages to and reply from.”

Thanx for trying! 🙂
 

Hmm, 
Not much to talk about here, so why did we upgrade?

I know iPad has problems with memory management, see here 
 

Hi Affinity rat, response is a little late, sorry. There was an issue in V2 sometimes not auto updating the sandbox. In latest release the Save/Save a Copy has been removed (temporarily?) and rename has been removed from Home Screen. Returning to Home Screen should now reliably update sandbox but I agree wholeheartedl, ALWAYS manually save to be sure your edits are captured and stored safely.🙂

Hi Affinity Rat, I’ve seen this issue reported many times. In some instance devices showed more gb stored than was even available on the iPad. Clearly some sort of miscalculation or files not clearing there caches properly. Developers are aware of these issues but I suspect it’s more an iOS issue.

I want to crop a large image with many objects to about 20% of original image.
AP does a non destructive crop, but part of my goal was to reduce file size and complexity of the image.
It appears to accomplish this its necessary to copy the part I want to a new document is this correct?
Even deleting the large background doesnt help much, it presence still contained in file.
 
 

You can import a macro, just not on iPad.
Importing a single macro is a desktop function, provided by the Macro panel on the desktop. The Macro studio on iPad is more like the Library panel in the desktop Affinity apps.

I see you are using the share option to save/export I’m using the direct export menu option.

Actually, that is the basis of my Mud’s Macros.aflibs library in these forums, which brings features to the iPad (such  as stand alone command inpaint) that were in the desktop version but not in the iPad version, yet with the macros desktop features were implemented on the iPad. 
If it works on the desktop it will work on the iPad as all apps share the same core software engine.

Just to show I have not stopped, here is V14 which includes adding Warp Groups to Photo stolen from Designer 😀. I have had to zip the macros library because V2 macro file format has changed and these forums have not been updated to recognise V2 file formats yet. So unzip and import to photo on any platform.

Resample to 72DPI - Use in a batch job to change DPI to 72 and resample image to the new DPI 
Create Warp Group **NEW** - Vector distortions from designer
 
These macros will work on PC, Mac and iPad versions. It is a “.afmacros” library file so in desktop use view->studio->library and import into the library pane not the macro panel which is only for single “.afmacro” files.

This was because I had set the tools on the right hand side in preferences.
 

Toolbar should also be allowed to run macros.
 

If you are zoomed in the brush is off screen, must zoom back out to see it.

They should work. Assuming they don't use functions that are not available in the iPad version at all.

It's a little bonkers that not every tool panel in these apps is editable. A floating toolbar would be a great compromise.

This is the perfect example (new sliders) of what Microsoft does that I hate, force me to learn a new interface, for a change something that is clearly inferior and insult the users with having to learn how to use it! These controls  requires more clicks to check all parameters, are more difficult to use I grade this as an absolute failure.
Irritation summary
the new interface is slower to use, must click on each parameter to check setting control is more difficult, given the narrow “drag window” to make a dynamic adjustment, try adjusting document size with slider. If you must type in a value why need a difficult to use slider? Insult to injury, I must spend time learning it I have no choice in its usage or implementation Its buggy in its display It forces my hand to cover brush size adjustments every brush alters all parameters so they must be checked prior to use. cant see settings without clicking attempts to make small settings fail because as I lift finger from the scream the number changes
