It sounds like you may be running into this known bug that's currently logged with the developers, the FAQ also contains a workaround in the event this bug is encountered when changing active displays. -

Artistic text + perspective looks pixelated upon export
NathanC replied to will_barbo's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
Welcome to the forums @will_barbo, How are you applying the perspective function to the art text object? If you're in Photo 2 and use the Perspective tool, this automatically rasterises the art text as it's a destructive Pixel filter. If you opt to use the non-destructive Perspective Live filter, this won't immediately rasterise your art text layer as it's a live filter, but if you export out to a vector format such as PDF or SVG, it will automatically rasterise the text on export since it has a filter applied, you can check this by re-importing the PDF file back in to the app or using a PDF viewer to inspect the object, it will be a raster image type layer. If you wanted to apply a perspective warp to art text you would need to use the Warp Group > Perspective function available in Designer 2, on export this will convert the art text to curves, losing text editability but will preserve it's vector properties.

Thanks for sending those over, I'm getting a pretty generic error from two and the other two of the reports fail to debug, however the scenarios that you have described when the app runs into a crash do point towards a GPU driver/rendering issue. As you've already ensured that your drivers are up to date and Hardware Acceleration is disabled within the app, could you try doing a clean install of your drivers by using a tool such as DDU (linked below) to wipe your existing GPU drivers, reboot and then re-install the latest available, before rebooting and trying a stitch again in Photo 2? https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

Hi @zgwangbo, I've since tested this on a M1 Macbook Air running Ventura 13.5.1 and using the trackpad the dialog always prompts as expected in 2.3, if possible could you try using a mouse for comparison just to confirm it's nothing odd to do with the trackpad/trackpad settings? Failing that, could you try resetting your Snapping presets in one of the apps by doing the following: Close all affinity apps Hold down CTRL and launch the app while still holding CTRL A 'Clear user data' menu will appear, in addition to the already ticked boxes tick 'Reset snapping presets' Press 'Clear' and the app will now launch, try opening the snapping menu again If both of the above don't work I can only think it's a problem specific to Catalina, so I'll see if I can get this tested on a Mac running Catalina.

Willkommen im Forum @Jürgen Kemmerer Beziehen Sie sich auf die Option "Nach Name sortieren" im Kontextmenü der Asset-Unterkategorie? Wenn ja, funktioniert sie bei mir wie erwartet. Ich habe eine neue Anlagenunterkategorie erstellt und 4 Objekte zur Anlagenkategorie hinzugefügt. Dann habe ich diese Assets umbenannt: '1', 'A', 'B', 'C' und sie dann per Drag & Drop verschoben, um ihre Position zu ändern. Mit der Funktion 'Nach Namen sortieren' im Kontextmenü habe ich sie dann wieder in die numerische und alphabetische Reihenfolge gebracht. Wenn dies bei Ihnen nicht funktioniert, könnten Sie mir eine exportierte .afassets-Datei zur Verfügung stellen, in der dieses Problem auftritt, sowie eine Bildschirmaufnahme? Bildschirmaufnahme FAQ: Herzlichen Dank!

Isometric guides disappear while working - V2 iPad
NathanC replied to Buglagur's topic in V2 Bugs found on iPad
Welcome to the forums @Buglagur, There's a known bug with the Canvas rotation past 90° or lower than -90° causes the grid to disappear/fail to redraw, I can see in your screen recording that your canvas has been rotated at some stage so it's possible that you're encountering this bug. If you were to reset your rotation to 0° in the Navigator panel (Double tap the value) and then zoom into the canvas to force a redraw, does the grid then re-appear? -
Hi @zgwangbo, I've also tested this in both 2.2.1 and 2.3 and I was able to access the snapping preset context menu without any issues, I also didn't have have any presets prior to updating, this was on an M1 running Sonoma 14.1.1. What MacOS version are you using, and not that it should matter but are you using a standard mouse or a MacBook trackpad?

MikeTO reacted to a post in a topic: Copy/paste text frame with floated and wrapped object doesn't immediately apply wrapping
-
Ah yes my mistake as I had not been following the exact same steps after updating giving the impression it was fixed. I was drawing the rectangle immediately over the text frame without transforming it, and then subsequently wrapping, floating and then copy/pasting the frame which wasn't triggering the bug. I'll get this logged, thanks.

Resize Container and Objects Within - iPad
NathanC replied to dcgall's topic in Affinity on iPad Questions
Hi @dcgall, It will likely be 'Lock Children' which is toggled on, with the move tool selected go to the tool options menu on the context toolbar (shown below) and then toggle this setting off and then try re-sizing your artboard container again. https://affinity.help/designer2ipad/English.lproj/pages/Tools/tools_move.html -

Hi @Gnaciux, Thanks for the files, you're correct in that it's not possible to export your .afbook file out to a PDF with the bleedbox included, though the problem is not specific to your file as on Windows I cannot export a basic blank document with bleed included via the Book export function, the option remains disabled regardless and I have to manually export out the individual chapter(s) to get a bleed. In my earlier post I had only conducted the test on Mac where the 'Include Bleed' option remains accessible so long as there is a bleed set on the chapters, i'll get this Windows-specific bug logged with the developers. I've not identified a way to workaround this on Windows outside of manually exporting out the individual chapters, though as a one off since I have access to both Mac and Windows I can offer to export your .afbook file from MacOS with bleed if you send me a screenshot of your desired PDF export settings and send you a private download link for the file.

Adding notes to rotated frames results in skewed note frames
NathanC replied to MikeTO's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
Hi @MikeTO, I've replicated and logged both of these issues with the developers.
