Is there a reason, why the new floating typography panel can only be resized in horizontal direction but not vertically? Cheers, Timo

@Chris B The setting was on "Automatic (Best)" - but changing retina quality to "High Quality" solves the problem. Frankly I assumed that "Automatic (Best)" equals "High Quality" .... apparently I was wrong

OK, I did some more indepth investigation on this. 1) it only seems to be visible with certain "Moiree" (in this case the jacket garment) 2) Using the same picture in the same area ist does happen with 2.4.1 as well. 3) Performance settings are the same in both versions 4) And it seems to be a redraw issue. Hovering on the same spot for a little longer makes this effect disappear again Therefor I assume it's not an Beta issue - I just got aware of this under the given "unlucky" circumstances ...

I wasn't trying to properly analyse the effect - so you might be right. Still, if it's blurring before the the final image is redrawn, the redraw should happen at one point in time. And certainly this only happens in the beta - and only with the brush tool. So I would assume if it's a technology issue it should happen with all tools?!

Hovering over a document with the Brush Tool selected results in strange display issues (darkening) in sections when simply moving the mouse over different areas. It doesn't happen with other tools. See video. Cheers, Timo Hover.mp4

Hmm, interesting ... on my laptop files with docx extension were not shown - but it worked on my PC. And the *.docx extension is not shown in the available file formats for "Place" (unless it's hidden behind the tree dots in the "Text Files" section ... )

I seriously wonder why this "function" is called "Import" ... Certainly since you can't open a docx document, nor can you "Import" it (not offered in the file extensions) and you can't "Place" it ... (also not offered in the possible file extensions). So there remains "Drag & Drop" - what surprisingly somehow adds some pics and little text in the open frame. Completely mashed up - no format maintained (and it's not that docx wouln'd contain theses informations). Elements invisible (just frames) ... It's most likely more work to get text and pictures back into where they once belonged than just copy the original text and start from scratch with a proper layout. I wonder if it's worth implementing 5% of a functionality/filter just to be able to put "Import of DOCX Files" on the tick-list (or in the help file)...

Nevertheless .... I removed the color overlay and it seems to work ... very strange Thx Walt for pointing that out.

It's just a color overlay that I've been using on 100's of icons beforehand - without any problems ....

For sume stupid reason I suddenly can't export a pure vector image as SVG any more. Only rasterised bitmaps are copied (through the clipboard) or exported even when I select SVG as the export format. The imported bitmap (with SVG extension) clearly only contains the bitmap. I guess I undeliberately changed something but I can't get my head around what I did wrong. That's been working for years ... 0 This is the re-imported SVG file: And, yes my settings should export SVG data via clipboard: Any help would be appreciated. Timo

Stupid me ... that solves it! Thx! Would it possibly make sense to add a "Disable Handle Snapping" to the general snapping tools: Since having all snapping disabled and some elements are still snapping seems at least a "bit irritating" ....

Is there more to disable?

I'm a bit irritated, because when I try to move the handles of a point on a curve they still do snap even though I disabled all snapping function from the toolbar. Is there a seperate setting just for the handles? Cheers, Timo

It would be very helpful if Asset items would have a "multi select" capability in the list. So multiple objects either can be dragged into the document or plenty of objects can be deleted with one click.

@lepr: thx! This solved the problem. Apparently only objects (not groups) were selected by dragging a selection box on the objects - despite "Default" was active. By toggeling this forth an back to "default" the "Del" key seems to work again as expected.

Of course you are right. And I'm aware of it - just did not pay enough attention on the right wording .... A bit of splitting hair? This is just one of the objects I use as assets:

Great .... something I just ran into ... being even more surprised

Fair enough - I'm just trying to undestand 🙂 So if you have an empty group you get the crossed out filled circle. If you place this group in another group this new group is obviously not empty, but carring no objects so you get a hole in the group symbol .... It gets slightly confusing, when you now add an object in the second group. Frankly spoken, I don't get what I see here ... (the orange rectangle is not visible ... ) all groups have 100% Opacity. And even more strange: I can set a filling and stroke to the topmost GROUP! I guess I'm getting to old ...

Fully agree with you. Depending on the purpose different interpretations of the bounding box seem to make sense. Still: if there's one version available it should consequently work as defined - and not change behaviour depending on what you do. (es described above: the SVG export is fine, the clipboard uses the extended bounded box and the asset panel is somewhere in between - displaying the extended box, but seems to save the tight box) I just wish the "Cycle Selection Box" in connection with "Set Selection Box" would work as announced - it's logged as a bug but still not resolved.

You mean like this?:

Anyone an idea, why deleting assets leaves a complete mess in the layer panel? (Mainly alle included groups remain kind of empty but still in place despite the fact that I selected all objects and pressed the "Del" key) - It works fine, if you click on the trashbin in the layer panel - Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought pressing "Del" or the trashbin would be the same functionality?! layers.mp4

Nope, thats a different Icon ... the one I postet is a group icon with a hole in the middle ...

Has anyone got an idea what this one stands for?:

This is more than unlikely, since this copy should be device independent. It will only result in a larger object in PP. And it certainly does not affect an internal copy to the asset panel.

This was activated already Pretty sure it's an Affinity internal problem, since adding the object to the asset panel (no Clipboard involved) leads to the same problem! So it is not Clipboard related, nor PP related. I'd even be surprised if the asset panel uses SVG data, considering the proprietary afdesign format is available within AD. In this example you can see identical Objects only with different bevel FX radius settings: 0.1/9/100px. They all have a proper bounding box (only including the object itself) in AD as shown in the last object with a radius of 100px! But as you can see, the Asset panel is struggeling with the bounding box.
