Preserve Alpha it is What does that do again ? (apart from completely undoing any effects I've just added)

I'm used to having to group Pixel layers before I can apply filters and stuff But this isn't a Pixel Layer Only letting me apply a blur if I add it to a group layer Why? THING.afdesign

Cheers Dan C I think it did it again yesterday so maybe it's an intermittent thing or something I'm doing I'll try and get to the bottom of it

Nice I saw the one in 1999 in Reims in France - highly recommend it

@Dan C What does Factory Reset do? I don't really want to click that and end up losing brushes palettes and stuff Anyway I just tried it again without Factory Reset and it seemed to default to black this time - I don't know why it wasn't before or sometimes doesn't - just seems like constant problems getting the pixel brush to lay something down but hopefully if I get into a method then it should start working better Got the Pixel Layer to add automatically again now though cheers

Me and tinkering under the hood of computers doesn't usually end well

So if I go into Pixel Mode and select a brush I'm brushing away there and as usual nothing is appearing on my screen Often this is because of something I've forgotten to set If it isn't then it's usually then because the software - even though the colour palette is set to a colour - defaults to Fill None until a colour is selected - even if it's the one already selected on the colour wheel I have to go in and re set it to the same colour ( usually white or black initially ) Can the software not just be set to default to whatever is selected on the Colour picker - and if I don't want that colour or Oops I forgot to change the colour then I can just go and change it - as I apparently have to do anyway before I can see what brush strokes are laying down - why would I choose a brush and then start putting down strokes with No Fill ??? can it not even just default to black or something instead of No Fill ? Can the devs please just fix this in the next update because I've been using this software for 3/4 years now and I still struggle with getting the pixel brush to work - I'd just like to be able to go in to Pixel mode and everything just works without having to bugger about nearly every time it seems A seamless experience with Affinity software is what I aspire to greatly but it just always seems to throw something at me It also used to add pixel layers automatically but now it doesn't and I can't remember where the setting is for that so if anyone could remind me thanks

I'm sure this won't be an issue again if I'm careful and try to work a bit tidier 58gb still seems a bit excessive though - I really don't know how it ended up that large

That all sounds like a lot of tinkering under the hood - I don't know what you mean by "supported configuration" but if it means I stand a better chance of recovering files after a crash then I could just keep in mind not to let that file get too bloated - the app has crashed a couple of times in the past few days but that may be me using some previous documents containing a ridiculous amount of enormous pixel layers Alternatively maybe I could just uninstall everything and reinstall all of it on my HDD - I guess this involves one of the two different installers I don't really understand ?

58gb of content? I have no idea which installer I used - I wish I could just install these application the V1 way

How do I set it so PersonaBackstore.dat is saved on my HDD - the main software can live on my C Drive

A restart seems to have got rid How do I set things to use my HDD for this?

Trying to get my head round how this has just caused 58GB of data to bloat up my C Drive? 58GB - since I last restarted the app?

I found the culprit - some file called PersonaBackstore.dat So what do I do with that - just delete it? How do I stop this happening again??? This is not good - asides from all the lag I'm getting (which may be my computer or maybe THIS could be what's causing issues on some game I also play?)

Having computer issues right now on account of my C Drive being maxxed out !!! I looked into this and there's about 60GB of something in some .affinity folder - 60GB of what? I have a measly 250GB SSD on this PC along with a 2GB HD which is where I store all my documents relating to Affinity - I can't be having this software dumping a load of unnecessary crap in there - anyone know what might be going on here and how to fix it? I've got all my games and stuff installed on my HD and only a few things on the SSD - I see the Affinity Suite is one of them - is there a reason why this has to be installed there? The main programs only takes a few GB so it's not a problem but if it's going to be taking up 60GB in the background then I'd rather it was on my HDD How do I install and use this V2 suite properly because it's been a bit of a mystery since I upgraded - I'd like some say in where things are going on my computer!
