BrianH reacted to MattP in Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.5.5 - Beta 1)
Status: Customer Beta
Purpose: Fixes & Minor Improvements
Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer
Mac App Store: Not Submitted
Download: 1.5.5 Beta 1 Here
The purpose of this version is to improve the stability of the released product. It contains no dangerous changes, only fixes and minor usability improvements. We would recommend that all users download and use this version. It should be considered more reliable than the current Mac App Store version (1.5.4)
To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it.
Fixes/Improvements
Controversial change to pixel documents: 100% view now maps document pixels directly to screen pixels. If you have a retina Mac you will now see 100% view showing a pixel in the document on each pixel on your display. Wireframe view mode now allows the user to select locked items by click or marquee. Basically, if you're in wireframe view and you can see it, you can now click it to select it. This makes wireframe view much more useful for toggling on/off to select specific items in the document. With rulers visible and a high-frequency input device such as a pen tablet (or a mouse in macOS Sierra) the rulers would make the document update very slowly, this has been resolved. SVG export of gradients is now more compatible with QuickLook. Stability fixes for text. Fixed bug applying OpenType contextual rules. Fix for crashes with 32bit documents on Lion and Mountain Lion. Fix for right-clicking a text object in the Text tool failing to select the current word if the user is over the caret. Improved PSD import/export of HSL adjustments. Improved PSD import of fill layers with empty stroke masks and also parse line origination data. Import badly-formed PSD files created by Marmoset. Fix for occasional crash with embedded documents. PDF export fix for Overprint flag which was not getting unset at certain times, leading to items unintentionally overprinting. Fix for system chime noise when holding Cmd+Alt+Space. Fix for layers panel showing incorrect document information when changing from Separated window mode to normal mode if multiple documents are open. Fix for some images opening and saying they are 1dpi -

Ooops, was late answer this. Sorry MEB. :mellow: :o
The functionality has, er, cheekily sneaked in... you will find it in the next beta release tomorrow. :D You will need to turn it on in Preferences.

PLEASE BE AWARE - If you have not already run Beta 9, this version will reset all your settings. If you have already run Beta 9 then it will not. Please make sure that if you have created any palettes, styles, assets, brushes, etc in the current beta that you export them in the current version first BEFORE installing this beta otherwise you will lose them. This was unfortunately necessary for the Beta 9 build and should hopefully not be required again.

This is a beta of a substantial change to our codebase and as much as we have tried to ensure the quality of the code, it should be considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is definitely worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.5 cannot be opened in 1.4 so always make a copy of your important documents before opening them in 1.5 to ensure you do not accidentally overwrite them and are unable to open them in your 1.4 version.
To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it.
Fixes/Improvements:
Fix for Assets not snapping on the document as they are dragged out of the Assets panel Fix for measurements not working on documents with Artboards Fix for measurements stopping users from being able to resize about center in the Move Tool Fix for boolean geometry operations failing on many trivial cases Fix for incorrect cursors in Shape tools Fix for Zoom Tool not zooming about the point you dragged from! Fix for Assets with non-RGB8 data drawing strangely in the Assets panel Fixed 'Print Ready' documents accidentally defaulting to Grey/16 colour format Fix for Artboards with constraints applied causing mayhem Added ability to drag Opacity label in layers panel to change its value 'New from Clipboard' now sets the new document to dirty so it prompts on closing Use DPI information from placed images/embedded documents to place them at their correct physical size Miscellaneous other small fixes -

Fixes/Improvements:
Fix for certain fonts causing startup crashes (hopefully!) Fix for Node and Pen Tools not working correctly at silly zooms. Asset collections can now be embedded in documents. If the document is given to another user, they will be asked if they wish to install the assets if they haven't already installed them: This is the start of being able to distribute assets easily to users inside a demonstration file showing their usage. Changed text alignment to use Command+Option+L and Command+Option+R to avoid the existing keyboard shortcut clash. PDF import fix for password-protected PDFs. Deleting nodes on stroke pressure profiles now works correctly with Delete key. Minor bug fixes and stability issues. -

Thanks for the report, BrianH - it looks like you've got the same font issue as well... When you make a new user, you don't get any of the user-installed fonts, so that's circumventing the problem. I'll ask the guys what has changed here with regard to font enumeration and see if we can get something sorted out asap.
Sorry for the inconvenience guys :(
