I have a brand new M3 laptop, brand new installation of Affinity designer, and back to problems, where shortcuts aren't working properly... Unable to assign CMD+SHIFT+$ or CMD+$ as well... Resulting in nothing but making a "bloop" OSX noise...

In affinity publisher : Strangely, after this manipulation - whereas the shortcut box does not show the same key combination for both affinity designer and affinity publisher - the default shortcuts to arrange layers are now set to SHIFT+CMD+^ and SHIFT+CMD+$ / and this works properly... - If someone could explain me this...

Hello. For sure there's an issue with SHIFT+CMD+). And I have noticed the same thing with the switch of 0 instead of ) And strangely, ADOBE XD's shortcut to move and arrange SHIFT+CMD+^ or SHIFT+CMD+$ does not work either in Affinity... Let me share another recording of shortcuts configuration in Affinity Publisher, you'll see the madness of it. It's like the preferences are overwriting themselves... Crazy.

Absolutely.

Ok.

Hello Dan. Yes for sure... But hard to prove anything because when i'm applying shortcuts, nothing happens ;))))))))))) Just got this unbelievable situation : I trashed affinity designer and downloaded a new version. Fresh install. I opened a new document and configured new shortcuts to manage object arrangements in an artboard (layers panel) : it worked. I closed the document, and re-opened another document I'm currently working on. "Arrange Objects" Shortcuts have been erased and replaced by the app (apparently default ones). Default shortcuts in the app are SHIFT+CMD+4 and SHIFT+CMD+6 (which is pure non sense because on a mac SHFT+CMD+4 makes a screenshot..--> System shortcut) - Here is a video of the issue i'm facing. Thx for your help, because this is absolutely unpleasant to work with that... Enregistrement de l’écran 2024-07-11 à 17.41.20.mov

Hello. I do think this issue is happening on my laptop as well. Sonoma installed. Can't manage shortcuts properly which is hugely getting on my nerves... Because nothing works like expected.... I'm trying to record a video, but unfortunately, you won't understand the process, because when I'm using the custom shortcuts, nothing happens, and can't prove it.....

I'm using Affinity Designer 2.5.3. My shortcuts regarding the position of layers (front, back, ...) have been changed, and I can't change them anymore. I can enter new values, but as soon as I'm back in the app, they are totally ignored. Re-opening the prefs panel show default shortcuts. Very annoying...

Hopefully, the renaming process is now much better. But Duplicating a new artboard should at least behave like adding an incremental value as mentioned in previous post.

I'm sorry, I really had to finish this job so I used versioning on Dropbox to get back a functional version of this file... Next time it happens (I really hope it won't happen ever again), I will share the corrupted file. Thx for your attention and sorry for my lack of reactivity. N.

I also a real issue with the latest version. On mac os x, I don't have the top of the app anymore. Resizing the window is not working properly either.... Is there a way to find previous working versions??? So I can have my job done, cause right now, I'm stuck with a non working version... N.

Hello... I'm facing a strange issue. This is the first time I'm experiencing that. I've been working hard on a file which contains multiple artboards and graphic iterations. Last save was yesterday night, today, I can't open the file. Affinity softwares say this "type of file is not supported". Firstly, I'm stuck because it's the only file I've got for this client... Secondly, this is the first time ever Affinity is behaving like that. Is there a reason ? - If someone @serif can handle this file and check it? I can give you a private link. Thanks.

Ok thanks I'll definitely try that.

Never had those types of messages before. And I don't see what I could have done that would have forced this type message... Anyone with that behavior except me? By the way, this absolutely the only app that displays that type of message over dozens and dozens of other apps I'm using...

Ok, but why does it display those boxes for a while ? It's becoming annoying.

This happens when : • I'm opening Affinity Designer • After having closed a document (I have to click four times in a row on "cancel button" And it came out of nowhere... I firstly thought it was related to some documents I have directly saved on Google Drive. But it still happens when nothing is related to dropbox or google drive....

Strange bug since a few updates, Affinity always wants to connect to this fancy server location... Is there a workaround or something we can do? N.

Hey. Thanks for these informations... However, I just want to emphasize that this bug prevents me from working normally... Dealing with vectors and bitmaps is a large part of the work of illustrators and graphic designers. This is one of the main features that led me to Affinity... I hope you are aware that this specificity is crucial for your users. And I've been away from Designer for several months now... Please, please, do something about it.

Any update ??? I still can't create illustration + bitmap effects... Very very annoying..'

Ok. Waiting for a patch, I can't work normally with this issue running...

We bought a licence for our studio. I must admit it's pretty impressive. The INDD file has saved many styles in the document, after a small cleaning, everything's ok. Finally, for us, it appears to be a professional and working solution.

Has someone tried Markzware yet? This is not the first time I'm landing on this page: https://markzware.com/products/pdfmarkz/ - It's pricey and I'd like to know if someone has tested this tool. The principle seems easy: Converting a suitable PDF file into INDD or AfPub. For now, this could be a great solution for those, like me, who love working in Affinity Publisher and have to share the work with a team on Adobe InDesign. And I must say that for me, when I have no other solution than working INDD, I can feel the pain Way much longer, way much unintuitive... Text boxes are a hell on INDD... Resizing takes ages. No way. - So any feedback on Markzware is awesome. Let us know. Regards,

I have found the same annoying bug in Pixel Mode, when trying to use the pixel brush tool and tweaking the colors. It behave the absolute same way than AD 2.2.0 official (non-beta) release. Color wheel / pickers are not behaving properly.

But there might be a serious problem with the color palette. Hope this bug is filed, because this makes the app unusable for graphic purposes... As you can see here: Enregistrement de l’écran 2023-10-09 à 22.59.20.mp4

That's what I immediately done, customizing the shortcuts again... Thx for your feedback.
