Hey there,
I am using the bucket fill in the pixel persona quite often. And I always use a tolerance of 0% (pixel art). The thing is, every time affinity designer restarts, it is set default to 20%. It would be great if it just saves the last value or if the default value is configurable? Even if I do a drawing, 20% is never the value I would need. it's mostly 0%. And I don't see a reason why it should be 20% by default. This could benefit some other people too that are doing precise colorings.

Hey there,
so I upgraded to 1.7 and I think I got a bug.
-> I use a 2019 MacBook Pro 15" and a 2017 MacBook Air 13" both with the latest OSX
I usually plugin an external monitor when I am not on the go. And leave the MacBooks connected.
When I start affinity designer after closing it, the UI (Tools, context bar, symbolbar, and studio) is not visible. When I press <Tab> to toggle show/hide nothing happens. I have to manually go to view and enable all the UI every time I start affinity designer. This behavior is the same on both machines and reproduceable.
I think it also does not has something to do with the external monitor since I recognized that issue already with just the MacBook Air on the go. I quit affinity designer and set the macbook to sleep, start affinity designer again and have to reenable all the UI.
I got a Eizo USB C and an old EIZO DVI-D monitor but as stated above, It also happens without a monitor connected.
It nothing breaking but really annoying.
If you need more information, I will be glad to provide anything you need.

Hey, any news on that? Let me know if you find something :)
I will be in vacaition until sunday - so I won't response till then.
thanks - best regards -
@Callum, thanks you so much :) here you got the file.
Note: There are no graphics in this file, since the issue continues even without graphics in it.
If I would create a new file it will work again. But copying all the artboards and stuff would be a huge pain.
file attached
thanks you! -
Hello everyone,
I've got a quite big file (many small objects: Spritesheets). Until yesterday everything worked fine. I multiply some sprites to tint them or make some adjustments via the adjustments symbol in the bottom of the layers palette. Since yesterday it just stopped working:
If I click on a layer (vector) or group and then click "adjustments / HSL " - the window pops out. But the changes / settings I am making are not visible. They are not visible if I wait for some time. I tried to restart affinity designer / my machine - nothing works.
A video showing the issue is attached.
I use the latest Affinity Designer version on Mac 10.12. -
I am thankful for any solutions.
kind regards,
Sam

thanks for your feedback, I will have a look at the explanation, can I close this post anyhow?
- affinity designer is great tool, really replacing Photoshop and Illustrator for me.

Hello I found a solution,
but I don't know why this isn't the default setting for exporting PNGs?
- in the export window (cms + s) - go to: more -> pixelformat: 16 BIt (was 8) and recalculation to: "nextto" (translated from german: nächstgelegen)
king regards,

Hello everyone,
When I export via cmd + s or export persona: PNG files are always blurry / seems to be bad quality rendering.
I'm exporting tiny png s with sizes 20x50 to 100x70 etc. @300dbi
I also tried creating a file at the same size as export. Same result.
I used the pixel Persona to get 100% pixelperfection, colores are blurred , textured too.
see attachement
Any suggestions on it? I can't really use the tool until this works, I do not changed any settings.

Hey,
@Sean P what @tominoff posted.
Reproduceable with:
- my 2018 macbook pro 15"
- my 2015 macbook air 13"
- my companies 2019 macbook 15"
- and my wife's 2019 macbook pro 13"
I assume this is reproduceable with all macbooks at this point.
