Hi. We have a pending fix for the paste from Excel on Mac. You should see it fairly soon. Edit: Available now in Build 192. Please note that you have to select a (any) range of cells to paste into more than one cell.

Thanks. Your other thread suggests this was due to the installation location. It looks like in that case we’re failing to load the data file for the internationalisation library, so we’ll have a look and see if anything can be done about that.

Thanks. As already suggested, it is the fill being drawn. I have logged it and deleted your original file. Dotted Line.afpub

Due to a bug in earlier versions 'Ignore Text Wraps' for actual text frames was getting set by default to 'On'. This has been fixed in 174, so hopefully no more problems going forward for new text frames.

Yes, sorry, that would be 'Reset Keyboard Shortcuts' Thank you, good point.

Hi Walt, If you have customised your shortcuts at all you won't see any new default ones unless you 'Clear User Defaults' on startup. It would be rude to overwrite your customisations otherwise

We previously had Ctrl+M for View > Masters (now F8) and I think it had been overlooked that this is reserved for Curves in Designer and Photo. F10 was chosen precisely because we think it will be frequently used, and thought a single key (or maybe two keys on a notebook / small keyboard) would be preferable. Unfortunately across all three apps there are very few 'easy' keyboard shortcuts remaining. Nothing is set in stone yet, we're open to suggestions.

Hi, Looking at your stack trace I would guess this is caused because we are not handling your current Language and Region settings in System Preferences properly. Could you let us know what language you are using and we will see if we can try and reproduce the issue here.

Thanks. I’m fairly certain this has been overlooked. I’ll log it.

Thank you, and welcome to the Affinity forums This was a problem introduced in Build 157. Please update to 174 at the top of this forum. You should find the problem fixed.

Thank you. We caught this just too late after 167 went out, but have fixed it and will be issuing another update in with the mix of new Photo and Designer Betas as soon as we can.

Hi, it is work in progress. Please bear with us.

Switched to F10. Please press <Ctrl> before you launch the app. At the dialog check 'Clear User Defaults'. Be aware this will reset you toolbars and keyboard shortcuts if you have customised them.

Hi, you may have to <Ctrl>-Run up and check 'Clear User Defaults'.

It looks like you are both using Windows 7. Could be relevant.

Hi, build 167 will expire on around Dec 11. I would expect at least two updates before then.

Thanks for your feedback.

I'm sorry so many of you are having installation issues. We will continue to investigate. This build has been superseded by Build 167. This thread is now locked.
