Thank you again Dan. The backup file does open with no loss or changes, so that's fine. This has been happening a lot since I upgraded (though not immediately - it worked fine for the first couple of weeks). I read some of the posts regarding this issue and saw suggestions about saving documents to the internal drive so that's what I'm doing now. It would be nice if I didn't need to do that. I think there is a possibility that my external SSD is unhitching itself although, it's never while I'm working. It's usually after waking the PC up in the morning.

Hi Dan, Version 2.3.1 Thanks, Kevin

Same here: I don't use iCloud but I have an external SSD that works perfectly for everything else -including Affinity 1 apps. Strangely, after quitting and restarting AD, when I try to open the file I was working on, it appears as a Affinity Publisher backup file. I can only open it in Publisher. Fortunately, all the layers have saved (so far). It has just happened now...

Thanks again MEB. I'll look at that link. 👍

Thanks for clearing that up MEB. What I wanted was to create a less perfect shape in a vector art project (attached). I suppose the workaround would be to draw the objects manually in real ink on paper and vectorise them.

I can't get it to work at all for my purpose. It seems that although you can expand a simple stroke 'Solid Line Style' you can't expand a 'Textured Line Style'. Or can you? I want to put a textured stroke around an object (Curve), expand it and then 'Add' them together to make a more natural edge. Screen Recording 2024-01-23 at 17.57.12.mov

Oh wow. What a chump I am! That's perfect - thank you Bruce, you're a star. Kevin

Hi all, Forgive me if this has already been asked: The pencil tool is very useful to me. However, I can never get the start and end points to meet up when I complete a shape. Is there a way of seeing where a line is started? Perhaps even join it up automatically. Maybe this isn't possible at all. Any suggestions would be great. I've attached a small video of me adding a shape and guessing where to end up (you can see me using the 'Close Curve' tool at the end). Kevin Screen Recording 2024-01-21 at 16.29.55.mov

Thanks guys.

Hi, I'd like to buy the business licence for V2. My mac spec is set out below. Could it handle the new software? Also. I need to run it on a 2017 MacBook Air. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, you're right. Silly me. Thank you Walt.

Very frustrating. No Frame Text Ruler for me either.

Thanks -I notice that it's actually called 'Image Vetorizer'. Just in case anyone wants to buy it. I got it from the Apple app store.

Here's the original sketch and the background 'plate'.
