Yep that’s what it is ! I was just about to lay my pencil down and wasn’t even touching the screen and it just flipped to eraser - I tried double tapping on the pencil and it did it again - so that’s another setting I’ll be turning off Cheers

I’m getting this loads on V2 and it’s doing my head in - keeps switching from brush to eraser mode - I tried enabling Touch for gestures only and it’s still doing it! Used to have the same problem in V1 but I think this setting fixed the problem

Copy that - I’ll stick with game drivers - which is I suspect what I already have installed Looks like the unwanted icons are something to do with the camera/screenshot function

Don’t know why I need workarounds or band aids - just a simple case of creating two setups for different uses - unless you can only install one set of drivers? I can look into this later when I’m back on PC and iPad - the full set up

Yeah it was just me being a stressy dumb dumb (although in my defence I didn’t change the assistant settings - that I’m aware of)

Enable Assistant was unticked - I don’t know how it became unticked but that was it

What - a screen recording of something not happening?

That’s what the Assistant is set to - looks like a bug

It was doing it - then it stopped I’m just doing the same thing as always: - creat object - switch to Pixel Mode - Choose Brush - Start drawing inside Object (or trying to) Nothing. I have to create a Pixel Layer myself and add it manually to get this to work!

OK time to take this thread to the BUG forum - this is ridiculous - I’m tempted to ask for a refund and look for an alternative - every time I put AD away and go back to it I end up spending all my time figuring out bugs rather than doing some work ! This new suite a mess

Yes I know this. It’s the fact that it’s NOT doing this that’s the problem.

And I’m guessing these were never fixed - which doesn’t inspire much confidence in any of the new bugs being fixed before V3 then?

I’m going to have to pick this up tomorrow. Only issue like this I had on V1 was with having to always select a colour before dropping the pencil, even if the colour I wanted was already selected - but this? It was doing what I wanted by just adding the brush strokes into the objects as it’s ALWAYS done and then all of a sudden it just stops working - a common feature of this software it seems..

I managed to get it to work by creating a Pixel Layer and dropping it into the Object Why did it stop automatically adding Pixel layers?

And these are where? I didn’t change any settings - it just stopped drawing inside objects - or outside - or over objects - it won’t draw anything unless I put the pencil down elsewhere! Is this because I performed a Xor ?

Basic operation I’ve done a million times - just suddenly wont add a pixel layer to objects anymore. I was doing it a few minutes ago - but ever since I performed a Boolean op on some layers it won’t do it at all now! Why - another bug? I’m seriously thinking about sacking this software off for something else right now Hey buy the new updated version - it’s got even more bugs!🤦‍♂️

What for if I create two separate accounts - one of for gaming / one for studio - seems completely feasible to me ?

Cheers will look into that - what if I want to Design Stuff AND Play Games then - what drivers should I use then?

I figured it out in the end - don’t know what the bars down the left are supposed to help with but having the boxes to enter the number down the side and lock-aspect etc along the top - and then you have to click tick or cross isn’t very clear - not really sure why this way instead of just a pop-up box?

Is there some logical, intuitive method for this buried deep in the new interface somewhere that can achieve this - because I can’t figure it out? I tried the “Resize” option from the drop down menu but after that I’m completely lost! How is it possible for something so basic as this to be such a cryptic mess? Is this how it’s going to be now going forward? Beginning to wonder if I should just have stuck with V1

If you go into View in File Explorer and then tick File Name Extensions then it will display .afdesign or whatever after the file name below the icon Works until you end up (as I often do) with massive filenames: version 1 - version 2 etc... As long as none of these early bugs cause me to lose any work then I'm reasonably happy

The main .MSIX version(s) I think - I had a look at some page before and it said the alternative versions were beta and I don't really want to risk my work flow on anything less tested than the current main version - I'm not really sure what the pros and cons of either are or really understand why the installation process for this seems to be different from everything else I've ever installed? Walt F has directed me to a temporary solution anyway (cheers) Just got used to the icon allowing me to easily distinguish between files - it's a minor thing

I can see the file extension now underneath - but the icon from the thumbnail is gone. For the time being I can work with that though

File Explorer!
