SnapArtboardsToPixels

I can't believe this is still going on over a year later. I have an old affinity file that now just will not export no matter how many times I try.

I kind of am glad I can not buy a version until they fix this.

Sad this is still going on, I went back to illustrator because a crash every second export was just unusable.

I've googled around a bit but can't figure out how to "eyedropper" the color, thickness and brush of a line drawn before. Basically "continue painting like that". RIght now once I have vector brushed a few lines with the same specifications and moved onto a different brush I can't go back and add anything. I also have to remember that it was (say) Dense Oil Impasto 04 that I had used, because I can't see anything other than color and the width of the previous line when selecting the line. I must be missing something here or do people write down the brushes they use or something?

It's crazy how often the answer with Affinity is "You can't"

Why don't the have "crop to artboard" on the export options?

There is no crash report or spin report and it's never been the app store version, it's (now) the beta version. I sent in a log last time. It's a bug that causes a endless hang, that does not cause something to show up in the logs. I repoed in on 2 machines with Monterey. So there is something odd going on with OSX and your application, it's getting stuck in some sort of infinite loop waiting for a drive folder to become accessible or something. So this probably isn't your fault, but the lack of a graceful exit or catching of the error is. I've noticed that folder navigation is a little weird on this version of OSX, but other applications have a few seconds of hang and then recover, whereas your application suite crashes every second save.

Still crashes, seems to happen when navigating around folders.

This seems to be much better, I'll come back if it crashes but I just worked with it for an hour and it didn't crash. Before it never lasted that long.

I also downloaded from the website for both. Anyone tried the beta? Edit: I've been working with it for an hour and it's definitely more stable, I'd be interested to know what @Heinrichdsf experiences

Same issue with me on both the M1 Macs I own. Do you happen to have Google Drive or Resilio Sync installed?

Same for me, it seemed like that the local export was working but now I've noticed that both are crashing during most exports.

The error never causes a crash, it just spins forever, so I captured a log from when it was happening and have attached. Any idea when this will get fixed? I really can't use the software when it's like this. errors.log

Setup: Google Drive (Version: 53.0.11.0 (Apple Silicon)) - Setup in stream mode, not complete sync OS: macOS Monterey 12.0.1 I have the exact same issue on a different M1 Macbook Air Issue: Exporting slices from designer into google drive causes intermittent crashes. Every folder your open while navigating to your save point increases the odds of it occurring. It crashes prior to being able to hit export, it seems to be related to folder navigation and opening of directory. Doesn't seem to be related to the file, it happens on all files, some with one slice, some with 50. I've waited for 30 minutes, it never comes right, you have to force close the applicaiton. Workaround: You try a few times and then at some point it will not crash. It is not related to corrupt fonts, on one machine it happened prior to installing any custom fonts.

I don't think this is font related, I have a brand new M1 Max and it crashes just like the previous M1. I've probably only installed 2 fonts because I thought something with fonts caused this.

This is such a bad implementation. A) Snap to pixel alignment isn't working for me, I don't know why, I assume something else in the snapping is overriding it. I have spent the day rounding off numbers, and then accidentally one board that was imperceptibly an extra pixel wide. B) Even if it was working, all we really want it to not have to think about this and the sheer volume of people talking about this issue shows that it just doesn't work. I have just moved over and used designer all week so it's crazy that of the hundreds of features I have used this is the thing that is making me want to move back. I guarantee you that most people working in the software want a grid of artboards and not to have to think about if they will export at 1081px or 1921px. They don't want to toggle a (finicky) setting on and off just to duplicate boards, I have literally never wanted to have one artboard placed 0.1px below the other in 20 years of doing this, just make artboards snap to pixel by default.
