Bungle

Really ? it happens all the time.

That beta may not make it to release, they may branch again off 1.4.2, so yes, of course it is a bug, it doesn't stop being a bug until a released version does not have it, i guess you haven't been involved in much testing ;)

His reply is total nonsense of course, you could easily cross reference Apples sales details and supply a Windows licence to those users, truth is you want double the money, so just be honest about it and say you want double the money, there is no shame in that, you are a business and have to pay your employees.

No it works fine here in Photo and in designer 1.5 beta, but not in 1.4.2, it is most definitely a bug

Bugger, i will have to start clearing out some space if they are both going to be taking a gig of space each

It wasn't really an issue with the dock icons ?

Just wondering if this is just unoptimised beta code, because 300 meg bigger than the previous release is quite a large jump (Using a macbook Air here with limited storage)

Yes it is definitely a 1.4.2 issue, the latest beta shows recent files perfectly :(

Also FYI, the right click on the icon in the dock is only showing files from pre 1.4.2 update.

Yes, as i mentioned, that was the first thing i tried, makes no difference at all

Unfortunately, that preference does not exist ? If you mean the OSX prefs, that was the first thing i checked, and it makes no difference, like i say, it works everywhere else including Affinity Photo.

Since i updated Designer to 1.4.2 the recent docs and Reopen document on restart have stopped working. Any ideas ? (Photo works fine 1.4.2) 2014 MB Air

Wow, Really ? Win 10 has been nothing short of superb on any 10" plus HD tablet here, anything below 10" and it feels like you are shoving a knife up your own ying yang

I would hope that PS plugin support would be extremely high on the list of developments at Serif, the very limited amount of effects built in to AP itself screams the need for 3rd party add ons.

Is this likely any time soon ? Macros are needed a lot here for UI work (Honestly, it is starting to piss me off having to even load PS) Cheers

OK, so what i have been doing is the only way to do it then, thanks for letting me know. Oh another quick joining question, i noticed that when i use the paint brush and it leaves an open curve, if i zoom in and move the end node over the opposite end node, it automagically joins them, this is ridiculously cool, is it supposed to work like that, or do i ave something turned on to do that ?

So say i have a line like that, how do i create a line between the two nodes ? Sorry, I am no pro designer, i just do what i need to do for any particular job. Nothing i do seems to work.

Hmm so i tried to use join to create a line between to points on an open curve, it did nothing whatsoever, maybe i should just stick to Inkscape until i have vast amount of time to rethink the way i work.

Aha, so maybe i should just stick to what i am doing right now, which is just layer the shapes and group them. This works fine for simple geometry, but i have a character to trace later, i suspect i may have to pull Inkscape out for that, the tools just work.

So i have two shapes, lets say one is a triangle and one is a square for simplicity I want to join the two shapes to make a single shape (Like a simple house) I move the shapes in to position (Both are on the same single layer) I use snap to selected node to move the node at the bottom right of the triangle directly over the node at the top right of the square, i use the node tool to marquee select both nodes, i press join, and bam, absolutely nothing happens ? Is this intended, because i am pretty sure this just works in inkscape.

It seems to be a little less crashy in El Capitan for me, but honestly El Capitan is the worst OS update on any platform i have ever come across, save dialogue being borked is so huge that it beggars belief that Apple actually released it like that. One trick i have found when Affinity does the save hang/freeze is to click on another active app (I tend to just click on Safari) and that resets the hang/freeze, this has been working for me so far, not sure if you will get any use out of it ?

Pretty sure plenty of people have already requested a normal (You know round wheel hahaha) crop tool, make a selection and crop, just like any other app that ever existed in the history of software, oh wait, just like every Serif app that ever existed before this one too hahahaha. Yes Affinity is great, yes it is very very very very basic at the moment and missing a lot of stuff, but what is there is not bad, it isn't PS obviously but it is not bad.

In other words just go back and use my original software then hahaha, fair enough, sorry but reinventing the wheel may be all the rage, but a round wheel still works best ;)

Just come from PC, been using Serif stuff for years, PS too and others, but i can't believe for one minute that they have created a photo app with no crop to selection, so what am i missing ? I must be blind.
