    Wiredframe reacted to Mark Ingram in Affinity Designer Customer Beta - 1.6.0.85   
    Click here to download the latest beta
     
    Status: Customer Beta
    Purpose: Stability
    Requirements: A valid product key, issued when Windows Affinity Designer version 1.5 was purchased.

    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 is 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 1.6 may not open in 1.5 so always make a copy of your important documents before opening them in 1.6 to ensure you do not accidentally overwrite them and are unable to open them in your 1.5 version.

    We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks once again for your continued feedback.

    If you have a general question about the software, please head over to the Questions Forum, or if you have any suggestions, please head over to the Feature Requests forum.

    Affinity's constraints feature is great, but limited. I just stumbled upon something that would make our lives so much better:

    It's even open source: https://github.com/WestonThayer/Bloks
     
    Please Affinity MAKE IT HAPPEN! 

     
    EDIT: I just played around a bit and (although working with Illustrator again is a real pain when you are used to Affinity Designer) the principle of "Bloks" is pretty awesome. Unpolished and incomplete but awesome.

    Wiredframe reacted to Mike B in Affinity Designer: Constraints Relative To Neighboring Elements   
    Is it possible to create constraints that are relative to its neighbors (looking at the layers panel)? Or alternatively selecting two objects from the same level, and specifying constraints between them? 
     
    Thanks!

    Wiredframe got a reaction from anon1 in Touchscreen lag   
    Thanks for this clarification. Now I discovered that this "issue" is not entirely related to touch input. It rather depends on the fact that I have to wait until a line is drawn until being able to draw another precise line.
    EDIT:
    OK, I found the reason for this. Leaving the Layers panel open leads to this lag because the new layers are being added after each stroke. When hiding the layers panel drawing performance is as expected.

    Wiredframe reacted to Moustachey in Few issues with latest beta...   
    Hey there!
    I just updated to the latest beta of AD (1.6.0.83) and I've noticed 2 issues:
    Cant export new artboards unless I save and reopen the file (it won't pick up the artboard names in the export screen) On some occurrances I noticed that the layer thumbnails weren't updating (my images were not rotated anymore but the layer thumbs showed them still rotated) The artboard one is a bit of a deal breaker for me at the moment, as I use the tool heavily to quick mockups which require a lot of assorted artboards in the document.
     
    Anyways I appreciate all the work and effort that goes in to each update, thanks!

    It's easy to get this when you open the slices panels and you scroll a lot. I just provoked the freeze doing just that in beta 1.6.0.82. My CPU got stuck around 15% and I had to kill the process.

    It took me a while, but I assume he's highlighting the missing drop shadow. The drop shadows aren't coming back, but we are going to add a keyline around the popups so that the edges are more obvious.
