Designer performance with big documents?
Fixx replied to Fixx's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Most trouble was about selecting inside a group by doubleclick. Looks though modern mac can handle this kind of documents with only 16 GB RAM. About time to start looking for a new M-based mac I guess. Thank you all for testing. -

Would you please check if Designer can or cannot handle big vector file. I have older MBP with 16 GB RAM and lot of SSD space and handling any bigger files is very tedious. Like, select an object, wait for spinning ball to go away 90 seconds, delete the object, wait again... repeat, wait, repeat, wait. Is that NORMAL? Document is a 7 MB PDF, all vector. Saved as Affinity it is 60 MB. Spinning ball indicates it is totally a memory shortage problem. I have still version 1.xxx. Does version 2 handle it better? Is M1/M2 mac better? Or is 16 GB always too little for that kind of document? Here is a link for the document if you want to test: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mq9zzanouyyy7o5ppxicf/02-Asemapiirustus.pdf?rlkey=x48q2bs3nzefgbr9niw5ejwjq&dl=0

Warping Bitmap Fill in Warp Group
Fixx replied to ashf's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Does it mean that the whole object will be rasterised? Instead of just rasterising the inner parts and keeping container vector as vector as would be the proper implementation? Say like in a simple object where is a simple bounding vector path with pasted inside bitmap? -

Exposure & Brightness is weird stuff... I wonder why photographers insist on using such tools (or maybe it is just developers who think photographers want them?). Here is some explanation what is going on: https://www.lightxapp.com/difference-between-brightness-and-exposure/ I would much prefer to operate just with white point, black point and gamma. And curve when more control is needed. And hilight recovery and shadow controls :-D I guess some apps apply advanced curve controls when exposure and brightness are used (think manipulating "knee" and "elbow" points in density curves of photographic film). Anyway I do not think AP develop tools are very easily understood. I sure am not confident with them.

JPEG or jpg ???
Fixx replied to Colin Red's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Not commercially.. more like testing environments or hobbies. -

Devs should add a popup menu which remembers last entered equations/sets. -

importing pdf layers as they are
Fixx replied to D3R's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
I think the core problem is that CAD software does not group or layer objects in PDF any useful way, but rather randomly. It may be because CAD developers see PDF only as delivery format, not a transfer format. I usually work CAD to PDF exports in Designer. -
It would be wonderful if devs would develop this kind of style automation but so far no one has implemented such. It would be a great time saver to apply rule based styles to whole publication.

External storage
Fixx replied to OrangeEmpress's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You can open and save files from/to external drives as you please. You though have no control over scratch disks, I suppose system handles that part and uses just startup disk for scratch. -
DWG > Designer?
Fixx replied to Fixx's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Libre does not open DWG. FreeCAD imports DWG to filelist but crashes when I try to open the file to a window. I will check those online converters but I suppose they are just googled ones, you do not really use them, do you #v_kyr? At least Autodesk Viewer does not print or export vector data.
