[Not a good beta update for me - slow program startup and pencil lag]

1) The installation took around eight minutes and required a restart. This was mainly due to the requirement for other software (Microsoft .NET) to be installed. I would estimate previous installations have taken less than two minutes.

2) Affinity Designer now takes over 15 seconds to start. Previously it took about 5 or 6 seconds.

Yeap I thought exactly the same when I first launched the new beta...

[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.9 (Windows)]

Installed smoothly.

[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.8 (Windows)]

I am afraid not as it is mentionned in the very first post..

[Symbols troubleshooting]

I've added screenshots to my first post(sync button off)

I tried with the sync button on and I have the same weird behaviour

1) first symbol (orange) below, its copy(blue)  above, both shapes selected , sync is on, tried the add function

1) first symbol (orange) above, its copy(blue) below, both shapes selected , sync is on, tried the add function

Hi Alfred..

Have you tried it?

 

 

Well just found that if you place the original symbol (orange one for me as the blue one is its copy) on top

when you select the 2 shapes all the Add, Substract, Intersect ,Divide and Combine functions update the SYMBOL Icon

[Symbols troubleshooting]

If found something happening  with symbols.

-Start a new document size, background don't matter.

-Open the symbols window

-draw an ellipse fill with any colour (i used orange)

-use this ellipse to create your symbol (you can see it in the symbol window)

-Ctrl+C your shape (now symbol) Ctrl+V to paste your symbol as a new layer also named symbol

-You can leave the same colour but I used a darker one for more contrast, changed my fill to dark blue

-Now move one shape and select the 2 shapes ( ellipse for me) and here what I have noticed:

-if you use the  Add, Substract, Intersect or Combine functions THE SYMBOL ICON is not updated

-When you use the divide function THE SYMBOL ICON is updated

 

Is that the normal behaviour?

[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.7 (Windows)]

Just tried the CTRL+X / CTRL+C / CTRL+V combinations and the snapping they all work fine for me!

[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.7 (Windows)]

No troubles installing the new update.

It first installed the Net.Framework 4.6.2 required, asked to close some apps before installing, it took about 5 min and then asked for a pc restart.

After restarting Affinity Designer 1.5.0.7 is running smooth.

Thank you.
