[Problem with exact edge distances when printing]

Hi KoBu,

 

Thanks for reporting this. It's a bug dealing with the non-printable border of the page. We're working on it right now - I'll keep you posted :)

[PDF Export crash]

Thanks. I can reproduce this, should be an easy fix.

[Print issues]

Hi VanHeber,

 

Thanks for taking the time to log this. The issue has been fixed for the next version (Build 8). If you still have problems after updating please let us know.

[just in case you don't know: inkscape copy paste with affinity= ok :D]

Hi Liakos,

 

Thanks for the feedback. If you do find any issues please let us know!

[[1.5.0.7 CRASH] open multiple PDF quickly = crash]

Hi,

 

Thanks for letting us know. We fixed a problem very similar to this today so hopefully the next build (08) will be stable for you. Please let us know if not.

[PDF export > problem with Arial font.]

I'd like to endorse what lewaw has said. If you output your text as curves and Acrobat has 'Enhance thin lines' set in preferences you will tend to see these kind of artifacts. Either turn that option off, or ideally don't export your text as curves if possible.

[Printer menu always changes to letter format]

Hi Kobu,

 

Thanks for your feedback. We've tracked down this problem and it should be fixed soon.

[Refresh button]

Hi brunovinhas,

 

The refresh should not be necessary. That's why it would be useful for us to see your document - to see if we can reproduce the fault and find out why the refresh is not happening automatically.

[Cannot paste text]

We think the first Paste will fail if a shortcut has been used to Copy or Cut the text. Subsequent Cut or Copies should then be fine. We'll fix this asap.

[SVG Exports - text not converted to curves]

Thanks, I can reproduce this. It will be fixed in the next build (07).

 

EDIT: May miss build 7. Lets' go for 'soon'. ;)

[Unhandled Exeption - Easy to reproduce [windows]]

Thanks. The mode control on this dialog should not be there. It's now been removed so this issue will be fixed soon (1.5.0.6).

[Printer problems Canon MG5500]

Thanks for your feedback. Affinity can print multiple copies either by asking the printer driver to do it (more efficient) or printing multiple copies itself (if for instance the driver says it isn't capable of printing multiple copies) Sounds like both of these options have become engaged at the same time. We'll investigate!

 

I don't have an explanation for only 4 copies though, other than failure of the print job. In that case I would expect an error message.

[Designer Crash?]

Hi Robert,

 

Were you importing a PDF? We had an issue where the document load was left pending if the PDF import options dialog was dismissed. This sounds much like the issue you are experiencing. The fix for this will be in the next build.

[SVG Exporting]

Hi Tim,

 

This issue was logged twice and has in fact been fixed in the next build. If you still have problems when you update please let us know.

[WMF]

Sound like something has come adrift with EMF / WMF import / export. These are not supported by the Mac Version so they are a little bit 'special' ;). I'm sure there will be easy fixes. Thanks for letting us know.

[Export doesn't work]

Thanks. A fix for this issue will be available in the next build.

[CMYK sliders]

Thanks. The problem with the CMYK sliders has been fixed for the next build.

[Rotating objects]

Nah, sorry. Dave thought of it. :)

[Snapping Grid]

Thanks. Snap to pixels does snap to half pixels. I'd prefer to see what I'm snapping to though.

[Snapping Grid]

Well I can suggest a couple off the top of my head - there's usually more than one way to skin a cat so I don't know whether you'll find them convincing.

 

First case, I was creating an icon. I set up my document size to 32 pixels x 32 pixels and I know I want to draw my 1 pixel wide lines centred on half pixel boundaries. Unfortunately with a document this size on my display I have to zoom in quite a lot before AD decides to draw grid lines at half pixels. Perhaps in this instance you could argue it's a question of how closely the grid lines are spaced by default for a given zoom, but that's probably hard to guess right all the time without a hint, say a threshold, from the user. May as well set up a custom grid.

 

As a second case, take compiling a sprite sheet. I have a few dozen images and bits and bobs I've dragged in from the file system that are all again, say, nominally 32 pixels square. They're currently scattered all over my workspace and I want to line them up on a nice 32 pixel grid. Perhaps in this instance dynamic snapping might do it for me as they will all ultimately be lined up with each other, but my instinct would be to set up a custom grid to help and just slot them all into place.

[Snapping Grid]

The snapping grid is not flexible enough for my requirements. Is there going to be any way to set up a user defined snap grid spacing?
