  1. Welcome to the forums @qantravon, If you could provide a copy or a portion of the document we can confirm if the problem can be replicated within V2, along with if there are any potential workarounds in V1. Many thanks
  2. The 'snap to spread' setting works off of the bounds of the whole group rather than the individual curves inside it, in the recording below I've just adjusted the horizontal and vertical groups separately to match them up from the top left hand edge of the canvas. Though, as some of the grid stroke lengths are not equal and do not extend as far as the canvas edge these will need manually adjusting. For simplicity I disabled all snapping options except for 'snap to spread'. The 2x2cm grid spacing is retained. RPReplay_Final1707392953.MP4
  3. Hi @Gigatronix Pete, Image/Image Intensity based brushes cannot have their hardness adjusted so the slider is locked, if you switch to a Basic Round brush type you'll find that the hardness slider becomes active as Paul mentioned.
  4. Hi @Mainecoon364, Since you've created a 2x2cm grid from curves, why not set the Canvas grid to a 'Basic' type grid with 2cm spacing, and then set the snapping rules to 'Snap to Grid' and then position your horizontal and vertical curve groups along the grid lines which the snapping rule will help with. You should then find that the 2cm grid starts from the left side of the page. However, Your Vertical/Horizontal canvas dimensions are not divisible by 2, so this will leave some partial grids along the bottom and right edges of the canvas. Little Box Snap snap to grid.afdesign Alternatively, you could use the 'snap to spread' rule and move the groups to snap to the edges of the canvas to have your grid origin/start point from either the top left (or bottom) like i've done in the below file, some of the strokes were not of equal length so they did need re-sizing. Though again since the canvas dimensions are not divisible by 2 the bottom and right edges are partial grids. Little Box Snap snap to spread - top left.afdesign
  5. Hallo @AvdB-Netherlands INDD wordt niet ondersteund, maar je kunt .IDML importeren. https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/pages/Appendix/fileformat.html
  6. Hi @MoCoMade, Thanks for sending it over, I did just want to confirm that the Graphics card was listed as an available renderer, which it is. In honesty i'm surprised that the DDU driver clean didn't sort this out based on the crash report contents, but if you swap the 'Renderer' setting over to WARP and then close the preferences and restart the app, does the crash persist? Also, i'd suggest checking the list of third party program incompatibilities below to confirm you don't have any of these actively running, and if you have any similar hardware monitoring/overclocking or recording apps i'd suggest closing them down. ------- Welcome to the forums @ferhtrd, I would suggest creating your own separate thread in the V2 bug section and provide a few crash reports as it's likely that the origin of your issue is quite different to that of the OP's or MoCoMade's and this will prevent further confusion/cross posting, we can then assist you further. ๐Ÿ™‚
  7. Hi @MoCoMade, Since a full factory reset of all the app's local files has not helped this does further the point that it is likely graphics driver/rendering related, could you send a screenshot of your Performance Preferences? Thanks
  8. Hallo @RolWg Ist fรผr Ihr Dokument/Ihre Leinwand ein Beschnittzugabewert festgelegt? Es gibt einen bekannten Fehler, der dazu fรผhrt, dass die Pixelauswahl vom Objekt abweicht, wenn Pixelauswahlmodi (z. B. โ€žRottรถne auswรคhlenโ€œ) auf einem Dokument mit angewendetem Anschnitt verwendet werden. Es ist eigentlich nicht mรถglich, in Foto 2 einen Anschnittwert festzulegen, aber Sie kรถnnen in Publisher 2 gehen und dann zu Photo Persona gehen, um diese Auswahlfunktionen zu nutzen. Oder alternativ: Wenn Sie das Dokument im Designer/Publisher erstellt und dann die Datei in Foto 2 bearbeitet haben, bleibt der Anschnitt bestehen, lรถst aber den Fehler aus. Das Entfernen des Anschnittbereichs durch Bearbeiten des Dokuments in Designer 2 oder Publisher 2 sollte dieses Problem beheben.
  9. Hi @MoCoMade, Thanks for sending those over, based on the contents of the log.txt file I do want to rule out this being caused by the app local settings, could you try the following to reset both the MSIX and EXE local user settings: Close all affinity apps Press WIN + R and enter the following: %USERPROFILE% In this directory rename the '.affinity' folder to '.affinityold' Press WIN + R and enter the following: %APPDATA% In this directory rename the 'affinity' folder to 'affinityold' Open Designer and re-activate the app Disable Hardware Acceleration under Settings > Performance and restart Try creating a new doc again If the same crashes persist, a few of the provided crash reports provided indicate towards the faulting component as libraster.dll which is used to render the canvas, so it still could be Graphics card driver related, but I would recommend downloading the latest 2.4 beta version of Designer to confirm if it's the same in the beta version, if you don't have access already I've provided the signup below, and the beta app can be installed along side the release version. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/affinity-beta-program/
  10. Hi @AvdB-Netherlands, The Settings > Autocorrect language dropdown is for managing the auto text replacements per spelling dictionary rather than setting the app language. If you want to change the spelling language of your text frames, you can do so via the 'Character' panel (Window > Text > Character) under the 'Language' tab. With the text frame tool and no text frame selected, you can default the text frame language going forward to Dutch by first changing the language in the dropdown and then going to Edit > Defaults > Save. This will not retrospectively change the spelling language of existing text frames in a document, you'll need to select the text frame(s) and then change the existing spelling language assigned to them. One way you can quickly do this is via Select > Select Object > Text frame to highlight all the text frames, and then change the language, and then repeat for art text if required.
  11. Good spot, not sure why I neglected to expand the picture frames to check the nested contents originally. However, i'm not sure this is specific to just an unsharp masks/filters? The presence of the adjustment and/or filter layers nested into the frames flattens the image to the Doc DPI, and removing the unsharp mask on the frame prevents this, however if there are other nested adjustments present such as the selective colour adjustment on the top left image of page 2 the image still gets flattened to whole pixels, altering it's position on the page. I've attached two versions of the original PDF below exported using the standard 'for export' present, one with only the unsharp mask filters deleted and the other with all nested adjustments and filters deleted, the edge alignment of the PDF with the unsharp mask deleted still has the corner alignment slightly off on Page 2 between the top left and bottom middle image, which I can only assume is a result of the image flatten and rounding, while comparatively this isn't a problem in the PDF with all adjustments/filters removed. Have to zoom in really far in acrobat to see, as it's literally about a pixel's difference. PDF for export - no unsharp mask or adjustment layers.pdf PDF for export - no unsharp mask.pdf
  12. Hi @Grizeto, The corner aligned images in your .afpub occupy partial pixels. The image dimensions get rounded on export to whole pixels which will likely be causing these gaps and additional pixels to appear. In Publisher under settings > User Interface set the visible decimal place for 'Pixels' to 1 and then set your document unit of measurement to 'Pixels' you can then remove the decimal value from the images X/Y/W/H so they occupy Whole pixels and then re-align the corners again, on export this prevents the rounding and the images are still corner/edge aligned. I've attached the PDF file where i've already done this in the .afpub for reference, the images are blurred since I don't have the linked resources used. no partial pixel images.pdf
  13. Many thanks for the recording, it looks like there's a small window of opportunity for this to happen when you finish inpainting and let go of LMB, but then just before the loading bar appears you click to inpaint again, it then finishes loading the first inpaint before 'catching up' and then doing second one, at which point it fails to detect the inpaint position correctly as you say. I can get this to fail intermittently, i've now logged it with the developers.
  14. Hi @Ormhaugen, Quite the strange one, with your 'Fjorden' file the running header at the top of page 1 is a modified master page element(Indicated by the green dotted line on the frame in the layers panel), I'm not sure what this modification was but the only way I found that I could restore the header field to correctly display the page header was to re-apply Master A onto Page 1 and then sort out the text flow again as content migration put the text body in the page number field. With that sorted the header field correctly displayed the title and was linked back to the master. The 'Hamre' file was a bit different. To restore the running headers on subsequent pages I simply created a new text frame for the heading on page 1 and gave it the same dimensions, position and text wrapping on the page. I then copied and pasted the text content from the old header into the new one, which then immediately restored all of the running headers, and I could then delete the old text frame heading. I've attached both updated documents for reference. Hamre fjordungskyrkje til sokn Headers fixed.afpub Fjorden-baฬŠten-naustet-kyrkja Running header fixed on P1.afpub
  15. You've got the snapping options set to a Candidate list which limits the number of objects available for snapping. In the Snapping options set the 'Candidates' dropdown at the top left hand corner to 'All layers' and then try it again. ๐Ÿ™‚
  16. I'm also seeing this when toggling Metal On/Off with this PT filter in release and the latest .2256 beta, i've now logged this with the developers.
  17. Welcome to the forums @Gooseberry Creations, I've now replicated and logged this with the developers.
  18. Hi @MoCoMade, Could you send a copy of the log.txt file? The location of this file is different dependant on if you currently have the MSIX or EXE version installed, locations below can be accessed via run command (WIN + R) MSIX: %USERPROFILE%/.affinity/Designer/2.0 EXE: %APPDATA%/affinity/Designer/2.0 Could you also provide a copy of any recent crash reports? If the app is only going into an unresponsive state and isn't crashing out on it's own I wouldn't expect there to be any, but it's just worth checking if any are available since this started occuring, as they may provide some insight.
  19. Hi @Hangman, I've now logged this with the developers. ๐Ÿ‘
  20. Hi @DirkJ, I've not been able to replicate this behaviour with the inpainting brush so far, could you possibly provide us with a screen recording which shows this occurring? Also, the input device you're using could be influencing this, are you using a standard mouse or a tablet, and if it's a tablet could you confirm the tablet model? Screen record FAQ: Many thanks
  21. Hi @regedy1, Textured vector brushes such as the 'Ink' brushes shown in your recording are essentially a raster image stretched along a vector path, and the resolution of the base texture used for the brushes can greatly influence the draw speed on the canvas, many of these 'ink' brushes use a 4000px texture such as those shown in your recording, but if you compare it to a much simpler texture such as the 'Simple Ink' brush at the top of the category it has a significantly smaller 1000px texture and it should have a quicker draw speed on the canvas. I found that on these 'Ink' brushes setting the head offset to 0px so the entire length was used resulted in a better experience, particularly for smaller strokes, but you could also opt to increase/reduce both offsets respectively to reduce the total texture length improved performance, but impacted the quality. Also, on Desktop ensure that your display renderer is set to 'Metal' and try toggling Hardware Acceleration on if it isn't already under Settings > Performance.
  22. Hi @Mainecoon364, It might be to do with your snapping settings, in the recording below I only have the 'Snap to layer bounding boxes' and the sub-options checked and have the snapping candidates set to 'all layers' to simplify the settings, and the edges correctly snap. See the attached recording, I also used the 'Outline' view mode and zoomed in quite far to ensure the edges aligned. RPReplay_Final1707128036.MP4
  23. Hi @shinichiro, Many thanks for providing detailed steps, I have now replicated and logged this with the developers.
  24. Welcome to the forums @MoCoMade, If the app freezes on opening existing documents or creating new files this is normally an indication of a GPU/Driver based issue on your device which is causing Affinity to freeze when rendering the canvas. I've provided some potential solutions to run through below in order: Disable Hardware Acceleration Within the apps under Edit > Preferences > Performance try disabling Hardware Acceleration (The last tickbox) and then close the interface and restart the app when prompted to and try again. Update your GPU Drivers Make sure that you have the latest available drivers installed for your GPU, i've linked the AMD and Nvidia and Intel driver search tools below, dependant on your GPU. If possible, perform a clean installation of your drivers if given the option. https://www.nvidia.com/download/find.aspx https://www.amd.com/en/support https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/download-center/home.html Reset drivers via DDU If it still freezes/crashes, try doing a complete uninstall of your graphics card drivers using a dedicated tool for this purpose (Such as DDU linked below) and then restart and install your graphics card drivers (using the links above to search) to completely refresh them. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html ------------------------------ @ShaneB could you describe at what point the app crashes, does it get as far as the app splash/start screen, or are you able to get into the app first and try and open a document? If so I'd suggest following the above, if you're not getting as far as creating a new document can you confirm if the app is outright crashing or is it just freezing? If it's crashing if you could send us some crash reports that would be great. Crash reports FAQ:
