It was not meant as an opinion. It should be a standard feature : lock or unlock, very basic.

I have just posted a feature request to this effect. I don't have much hope that it will be addressed, seeing as of late feature requests and other ligitimate reporting of improper functioning is being disregarded. To me, it looks like things have rather grown beyond development capacity. Which would be a real pity, because I always was under the impression that Serif was one of the few softwre companies that actually recognized they had real people as customers instead of money cows.

After all these years : still not fixed !!! A "locked" layer should be locked. As in : NOT editable As in NOT. Anything else means it is not locked. Please Fix.

When you lock a layer, it should be locked. As in : not editable. As in NOT. Anything else constitutes unlocked.

I have a locked pixel layer. After selecting that layer, I can still erase : locking is totally disregarded. Is this a bug ?

Is there a limit to the number of colors when creating my own palette ? I have imported a palette meant for PS, with a huge number of colors. It works fine, see attachment. Yet, when I try to create my own the number of colors seems to be limited to 256 when using any method of creating, e.g. from document, from image, it just never gets beyond 256 colors. Is there anything I can do to remedy this ? Importing a "grd" file also seems impossible ? PerfectPalette2020.ase

Could you provide an example of what you want the final ribbon to look like ?

I just tried that site, got a message : INSECURE !

OK, They're back ! Sorry, I never got around to creating a Pixel-based ruler. Moreover, I think it would be best to Post a Feature Request in the appropriate Forum section. RulerV+H-15cm v2.0.afdesign RulerV+H-30cm v2.0.afdesign RulerV+H-Inch-10th v2.0.afdesign RulerV+H-Inch-16th v2.0.afdesign

I have uploaded them again, they are available for download in the Resources section. The rulers are obsolete ever since the application rulers had moving zero point functionality added. So, the rulers will not be uploaded again.

Existing Protractors. I have uploaded them again on request. They can be downloaded in "Resources section". Zero-point Rulers are obsolete and will not be uploaded again. Protractor-type1 v3.0.afdesign Protractor-type1A v3.0Multicolor.afdesign Protractor-type2 v3.0.afdesign Protractors v3.afassets

I've had the same happening with the Update page in the app store : totally blank, while I knew for certain that there were updates. Going to the store itself and back to update page again brought up the updates, but I haven't been able to find the update button on the store page. Where/how exactly did you find it ? BTW: It seems that, according to posts in the macrumors forum (link) that there is a blip with an Apple server, as well as (or in combination with) a Security update for Mojave 10.14.6. Apple does not recognize this (??). Echoes of Microsoft behaviour ..... https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/suddenly-unable-to-update-or-download-from-appstore.2285116/

See this link for temp. fix. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/136045-updating-via-mac-app-store-fails/

Please see the other posts on this topic. The trick with killing the appstoreagent does work, but you have to FORCE-kill it while the update process is running. Go to Applications > Utilities > Activity monitor > start activity monitor. Go to the app store > log in. Click the update button for the application you want to update. In case of more than 1 update, click "update All". Update icon starts spinning. Go back to Activity monitor Find the appstoreagent process Force-kill the appstoreagent process.When it's gone, Go back to the Appstore Click the update button again (it's still spinning, but click it anyway). This is a workaround solution, NOT a permanent fix. When updating again, you'll have to shutdown the computer, start again and do the whole process again.

Created a new document, placed a vectorized SVG file. It ends up in the document as an Embedded Document without nodes in 1.9.0. It cannot be modified with the node tool, because there are no nodes - it is just a picture. In v.1.8.X it used to end up as a vector drawing (with loads of nodes). I used Vectorizer to vectorize the original (JPG). In that program the preview shows up vectorized as usual, with nodes. In short, placing vectorized always worked fine, now it no longer does. Is this a bug or if not, are there any settings I have to change in Aff.Des. ? Thanks, C.L. Diamond.svg

Thank you DM1. I'll try it out as soon as possible.

Thanks Pro. I'll give it a go (no pun intended )

Totally new to Aff on iPad. Is there any way I can save to a USB stick ? If so, how would I go about that. So far I've only been able to find external saving to iCloud, which I think takes too much control. Thanks, C.L.

Hi, guys, please read through my posts. i did all those things (rename org propfile,swap for photo propcol, restarted Des, which resulted in a crash), so put original back & restarted Des. Only one thing worked: manual download & installation. thanks all, problem solved 🙂

Apparently not as I found out to my chagrin...

Was busy doing just that when your above post came in. Lo and behold, manual downloading & installing works just fine. All assets imported 100%, all show up in Des as well as Pix personas. So, it would appear something is amiss with the auto-download in the Affinity Store. Thanks, stay safe. C.L.

Yep, I downloaded them separately for each app. Cats in Des and Pixel Persona: Default, IOS 12, various self-made assets and Daub Papers, which is one of the downloaded cats. The latter one is empty : no assets inside, just the name. The rest of those assets cats just aren't there. I'm giving up ...

@walt.farrell : Thanks, Walt. I tried the New Category method but no joy. I looked up the Assets.propcol file for Des. and for Photo. They are an astonishing 2.22Gb and 2.57Gb in size, resp. The downloaded assets are available in Photo, so I swapped the Photo propcol for the Des file. As i suspected, Designer crashed spectacularly, not even the "Reopen" button on the crashreport did the job. Back to the drawing board I guess.... @R C-R : Thank you for that ! C.L.
