I run my 27in iMac 2019 from a 500Gb ssd via usb (the fusion drive being so slow). Since v2.2 Affinity apps are making hidden lock files but not deleting them, causing some confusion as to which is the latest version. I understand the reason for the lock files but this isn't working well for me. Any ideas? Thanks. Tony

Exports fine on generic cmyk and Japan profiles, looks like it's the Euroscale Coated profile that's the problem. Thanks...

Thanks I'll look at that. Are you able to open 2.2 in 2.2.x then? OS 3.5.2 all up-to-date but will look at the making music logo... thank you

Thank you...Mozart-Haydn.afpub

All three! Mostly seems to be a Publisher problem. I've rebuilt the file in Design and this one exports ok, even if opened in Publisher, but it makes me nervous if I don't know what's gone wrong...

Anyone else unable to export a pdf? Tried everything I can think of but v2.2 seems only willing to export a blank page...

Sorry, I should have said, this is 2.1.1 but interested to hear that it's still there in the latest beta

Any suggestions to combat this behaviour gratefully received 1 Open file 2 Float view to window 3 Close floated window, 4 Now click on thumbnail in Pages panel 5 Spinning beachball every time... have to force quit 2019 iMac 27 3Gh 16Gb but also does it on my old MacBook Air

Thank you, not the only one I fear! Seeing the Spinning Beachball of Death quite a lot at the moment

Is this irration affecting other people? 27 intel iMac, latest Venture

Use Sparkle, much the best, but only on Mac so don't ditch the Mac Pro yet!

I'm sorry, but if you are going to work in this way, you need a much bigger hard drive (external usb SSD might just help) and probably a more powerful computer. My work around would be to design your pages with placeholders or low-res images then resize your images to sensible sizes and link them when you're done. Unless your page size is huge and/or it is going to be printed by some new super-quality method, the images need to be at the very highest 600dpi. Using the full scale images will never work if they're over 250Mb each. I speak from experience having attempted books own low-end systems in the past, just a recipe for frustration!

1.8 Publisher from App Store is slow, even if run before during same boot session, but 1.9 starts up nice and quickly

Find https://typefaceapp.com/ is good and reasonable price

Wallop! Crash again, this time adjusting a jpeg in Photo persona. Would I do better with 1.7.2? Don't really want to get back on the Beta treadmill.
