  1. Hi, each time when I launch AFD2 the first time for the day on my mac, I get a window popup, titled "delete user data". What´s this about, and how can I get rid of this? Thanks!
  2. Still the same amazing, unbelievable, outstanding (I guess outstanding is the best word for this) ...... boot or startup time for Affinity Designer 2. What do other app builders make here so much better, so special, so secret, so .. what ever, ...... that their apps can start in, hmmm ........ lets say 3 seconds (pixelmator pro), or ...... 4 seconds (photomator), ....... or 2 seconds (OBS Studio), ....... or 1,5 seconds (Forklift 3 and 4 beta), ....... Often you are in a hurry in your working process, and then you have to wait 20 seconds for nothing? If I take my hourly rate, I loose about 0,70 EUR on each start of Designer 2, I guess Photo is not better. That is 182,- EUR in a year. if I work 5 days a week ....... What is wrong with you, why do´nt you improve that? It is not apples fault, cause other apps can do it! Why can´t "you" do it? And these times are not on a old Mac, it is an M1 Mini with 16 GB ram. Why can´t you do it?
  3. Btw it is the same story with Affinity apps since years, .... update 2.1 is announced, ...... with new features, but problems do not get fixed, as I can see in beta version. For example bleed settings, options, .... document settings ....... nope! New options, new buttons, new stuff .... seems as this is the only thing interesting the Affinity guys! Do fix the obvious missing points, not working options, and from many users wanted options like finally visible active tools and buttons, bleed settings ..... and when all this is done, and the users are happy, .... then you may bring new stuff! What is more important? App working fine and happy users? Or not happy users and more new options often just bringing more new problems? Think about that!
  4. Almost not visible what tool you are actually using, with Designer 2 on ipad. Turning a dark grey into a black with almost no big difference, is simply stupid and not user friendly. Same about this for options in upper toolbar like magnetic and all other buttons. Why not let the users choose this color, give it a blue instead of black, or let us users set the grey to our needs. want to repeat that I find that Serif is very very user unfriendly, ignoring needed changes, not even reacting on any words here in forum, and just insisting on own decisions. Serif decided to make active buttons black on (almost black) dark grey, instead of finding a true visible solution. The very very small blue line on Designer 1 was also not good, and now it even got worse. Now many of you double check the tool buttons when working on iPad, or also on Mac or PC? Is it really necessary leaving us with such workflow braking settings? Give us options, we can set up ourselves, that should be easy to be done. Or bring back the lue lines and make them wider better visible.
  5. To me it seems also, as if the complete documents settings is missing. Just checked publisher V2 on iPad, with s proper document setting options, ..... not available like so in designer V2.
  6. I always thought Serif wanted to bring us software, that enables us to work flawless on iPad, desktop, laptop computers, ....
  7. Btw .... its 3 months since this thread has been started. Other app companies are bringing updates way faster, and solve problems way faster, than Serif. Why not bringing more updates faster, solving the existing problems? Would help us customers much more than waiting months over months, nothing happening, and then after update problem is still the same. Btw ...... Affinity Designer 1 on iPad is making strange things too more and more ........
  8. Just been searching my a...se off for changing bleed settings, ...... and, thanks Affinity / Serif guys, .... another bug, miss, or how ever you want to call it. Good they can make it in new V2 version creating new bugs, misses, shows its a very creative (bug) company. Why am I writing like I do? Cause they costed me already so much time over the years with bugs, problems, not documented infos, ..... and same now here. Professional software? Only if you can create enough workarounds for not working or missing stuff. Create a new document with bleeds, to then copy all from document with no bleeds into new document? Ha ha ha ha ha ..... (not funny at all) Just been searching for half an hour for hidden settings, somewhere ... and also online help is no help here. And the worst thing: Be prepared this will get fixed with V3 Designer, not earlier. There will be new stuff with updates, but seldom fixed problems, thats my experience over the years as a user from the beginning. Why am I using it then? Cause there is plenty of stuff working fine, but as you all know it is the little needles, the little oder bigger problems that stop your project, your work, that makes you angry. And obvious things like this bleed problem make me really wonder: Who did ever really tested this software, under real working conditions before they gave it to the stores?
  9. Now you know, why this never got into Designer 1 ...... they kept that for Designer 2 where you can find it now. Looks like a well made plan ......
  10. Thanks from my side too! Super! But a shame that it is not part of Designer yet ...... Illustrator can do! Thats part of the reason I more often use AI now.
  11. Affinity does not care about customers opinions or wishes, .... magnifier is annoying ..... and a simple on/off button would be helpfull. But only if Affinity would care ...... but they do not .......
  12. Sending AD files to others, ..... who do not use V2? Come on guys, I am sure that an option saving as V1 version even brings more customers then staying with this strict rules ..... . To me I bought V2 but am using V1 due to this reason. Cause as soon as I would V2 only, I could forget sending files to partners .... friends ..... that us V1 only. Be customer friendly and offer this option of saving!
  13. It is about the first time I needed this option, ....... and - is this true - Affinity Designer does not offer this option on Mac? Please tell me I am wrong, and oversee this option! If not ...... another bad point for Affinity apps. Outstanding startup times, ..... no back to previous saved .... Get yourself a copy of Pixelmator Pro, there you can see how it also can be done, if you do your apps for macs.
  14. Unfortunately its there again, when opening a document that´s been existing. Or a new one! Affinitiy ....... why not making on little preference line for this option, so many want to get rid of? Just one klick for us, if we want it, or not, ................ ! And again I found a bug ........... but I will not spend a minute to report this, cause Affinity does not really care about bugs! That´s my experience. Listen what the customers want, ........ solve bugs .............. then you would be fine! It´s a love and hate thing between me and these apps ...... or lets say this company.
  15. Just found this awesome tip, ....... thanks so much, finally I can get rid of this hint line! Here´s a beer for ya: 🍺
  16. Shit, have to use Affinity again on my M1 Mac, ...... with Affinity silicon support .......... 20 seconds ......... go make a coffee! Why I am posting this? Because this is not acceptable what Affinity guys are doing. They never been focused on fixing bugs, they always been focused on bringing new stuff, often stuff nobody really needs. I call it gimmicks. As soon as I find an alternative to designer, I will put it somewhere else ......... on my M1 Mac I did not even install Photo due to these reasons ...... Could be really great apps ......... but: Could be if ........
  17. Try Pixelmator Pro instead of Affinity Photo ...... really fast start, and super fluid action. And not toy overloaded like Affinity Photo. Waiting for Pixelmator Designer now ........... (this was a joke!)
  18. Bugfinity Designer - I think they do not like fixing bugs, .... they like keeping them in!
  19. Hi again, February 2021 ..... bug is still there with 1.9. Thanks very much for keeping it in, would miss it if fixed! 😂
  20. Such things are the reason why I am using different apps where possible. Affinity is fast in bringing new features (often features not really needed to most of the users) ..... but Affinity is on the slowest side, when it's about fixing software problems. Fixing problems not seems to be their main priority, and so be prepared this bug will remain a long time I guess! This is just my opinion after struggling with different problems, some making app almost unusable, apps I paid for.
  21. 1.8.1 ..... still there this problem, ....... thanks Affinity! Still the same behaviour as shown in videos. No more words for this ..........
  22. This bug here, still existing, still stealing time, still annoying, ............ specially as Moderator been writing that this is a known bug .......... and still not fixed: Thanks Affinity for keeping this bug alive!
  23. Bump, so everyone can see that this bloody bug is not fixed yet! What are you doing the whole day long?
  24. Now I am pi..ed off too! There is no trustworthy workaround for this bug, so I could work fast and stable as it been before this damned update ...... bringing us this bug! This is more than dilettantish what Affinity is doing here, even knowing about this bug and not fixing it! Bug bringers!
  25. Why not bringing more updates in shorter times, and fix f...ing bugs? Sorry, but just in the moment I have to work around this bug again, ......... and it is just so annoying!
