  1. I wouldn't say it got slower when they tried to optimize for the M chips. I used Affinity apps on Mac and PC for quite a long time, and overall, the three apps were much faster in the past. It looks like with each newer version apps get slower to start and slower to run. But they have to make them compatible with so many hardware on the PC, and each new versions have new functionality and features, it's probably normal.

  2. "Casse" is wrongly used nowadays. It comes from the old typography system. "La casse" was the wooden box, (sometimes metal), the letter case in English, in which printers put the lead letters for the printing press. The most used letters, the "lowercase" letters were at the bottom of the box for faster access, in French "bas de casse". Capital letters were in the upper section, the "uppercase" letters.

    Majuscules et minuscules sont des types de casse. Les petites capitales sont aussi un autre type de casse. 
    Upper and lower case are part of the "case". Small capitals are also another kind of case.

    So, IMO, I would say that "Majuscules" is the one to use here, but I wouldn't bet too much money on that.

    And don't forget that when you send you old car to the scrap yard, in French "vous l'envoyez à la casse".....

  3. I was out of this forum for a while, but I had to come back after the email we all received.

    So much political language, when was the last time a politician kept his word. Look at all these acquisitions over time, all the bought companies have disappeared for the benefit of the buyer. Remember, money rules the world, and every man has his price. The primary goal of Canva is to make profits. 

  4. Yes it's the same when you don't make any change. But here I edited the RAW file so it should ask if I want to cancel the modifications I made before closing. If you click on the "Develop" button at the to left it then will ask you before closing the file. 

    When opening a JPG file and edit something in it, It then does ask if I want to save my changes before closing. It should be the same with the RAW file.

    If you open a RAW file in Designer it will ask your if you want to save your changes before closing, even if you don't edit it, as it applies some curves before displaying it. Photo does not.

    Strange.

    Thanks for the videos. In addition to the Rulers disappearing, it seems that in all of them you have to tap on the Rulers setting in the pulldown several times to get them to actually appear, which is also strange in my experience.

    I can't repeat this behavior on my iPad, it seems to work fine on my side, using the keyboard, the pencil or my fingers. I don't know what is causing this. Maybe resetting the app and the iPad....

  6. I currently use two iPads. One is Gen 9 with Apple pencil 1, and an iPad Pro 12.9 inch with Apple pencil 2. Both have 256 GB and never had any problem at all with any of them using Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher. I had a Gen 6 model, 256 GB a few years ago on which I only use Affinity Photo only and it was working very fine.

    If I had to buy another one some day I would probably go with the 11 in pro or probably the Air, enough powerful and a little less expensive. These days apps and data files take a lot of space so 256 GB should be the minimum. But I could not use these without iCloud and OneDrive for file storing as I work with a PC, a MacBook and iPads. 

  7. Bonjour @Louix84,

    La version msix est plus sécuritaire (sandboxed) comme les apps du Windows Store. Cependant c'est quelques fois plus difficile d'y accéder via d'autres programmes.

    La version exe est la version standard. Aucune différence entre les deux pour ce qui est de l'utilisation.

    J'utilise aussi la même carte graphique et je n'ai aucun problème. Il y a un programme qui supprime complètement le driver de la carte vidéo, ce qui permet d'installer la dernière version sans les "résidus" de la précédente. C'est souvent la solution au problème décrit.

    La plus récente version des "Studio Drivers" de nVidia est 537.58

    Faut pas désespérer...

  8. It's getting weirder.... now all files I create in any Affinity app don't have that flag turned on anymore.... and I just do what I did this morning.... 

    More research.... I think I found out why it was working this morning and not now. This morning I saved the files and reopened them minutes later to do some more work on them. 

    What I found out is that when I save the file the first time the archival bit is not set. And when you reopen it and save it again it's then set correctly.
