I'm the only one with this?

I really would love to completeley change from AI to Affinity but at the moment, the SVG-export has too much overload for me for web usage as you can see here for one simple icon: AI: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"width="30" height="30" viewBox="0 0 30 30"> <defs><style>.a{fill:#007a53;fill-rule:evenodd;}</style></defs><title>vk4</title> <path class="a" d="M26,7.5h-1.5V27h-5V7.5H18L22,3ZM17.48,25h-5V13.5H11L15,9,19,13.5h-1.5Zm-7-2h-5V11H4L8,6.5,12,11h-1.5Z"/> </svg> Affinity: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svgwidth="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 30 30" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:1.41421;"> <rect id="ArtBoard1" x="-160" y="-760" width="1280" height="800" style="fill:none;"/> <clipPath id="_clip1"> <rect id="ArtBoard11" x="-160" y="-760" width="1280" height="800"/> </clipPath> <g clip-path="url(#_clip1)"> <path d="M10.475,23l-4.95,0l0,-12l-1.5,0l4,-4.5l3.95,4.5l-1.5,0l0,12Zm7,2l-4.95,0l0,-11.5l-1.5,0l4,-4.5l3.95,4.5l-1.5,0l0,11.5Zm8.5,-17.5l-1.5,0l0,19.5l-4.95,0l0,-19.5l-1.5,0l4,-4.5l3.95,4.5Z" style="fill:#007a53;"/> </g> </svg> Could you make an export option for a super minified svg? Especially all the Artboard stuff is unnecessary... or am I'm doing something wrong here? This would be great and I guess many other people would like this feature too...

+1 Also from my side...

Yes, live view please...

Hey, interesting news. I used the "Process Monitor" from Sysinternals to see what Affinity is doing while starting on my ssd. And the most time it reads repeatingly a custom display calibration file in "C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers\color" called "CalibratedDisplayProfile-4.icc". It is a custom created profile with the windows system color calibration for my laptop lcd... I just deleted this (and the other never used custom profiles) manually. And, belive it or not: Affinity starts in 10 secs, hurray Than I calibrated the display again what results in a new calibration file. But now it doesn't affect the loading time. Perhaps it's a hint for the developers to handle this potential issue... Thanks

There is something strange. On my machine (Dell m3800 with System SSD and additional EVO 850 SSD, Win 10) it takes 58secs(!) to start. I also was the one with the slow persona panel update which is fixed now and works as smooth as the rest of the application. But the general loading time of the app is much too slow... I install all the programms on the second ssd. Can this be an issue? Thanks...

Yes, please... vertical text alignment would be great or even better: Allow directly typing into shapes in the way Powerpoint does. Or make it possible to change a shape to a textbox while preserving the visual attributes... by the way: Is there an option to toggle between the two text modes (framed and not framed text)? Thanks

Please change the export order from top to bottom. This would be much more consistent. I also wondered about the reverse order. I guess many people think the same way... Thanks a lot...

Ha, just installed Version 1.5.0.26 and it works also on my main laptop! Thanks a lot. Now I definitly will buy it as soon as I can...

Today I fount the time to install affinity on an other PC. REsult: The bug does not appear there. So it seems to be something special with my notebook and/or setup: Dell m3800 mobile Workstation with nVidia m1100 optimus graphic. 16 GB RAM, touch screen, actual Win10 version... as proposed before I can offer to help if you have a version putting out debug information while running... I'm afraid It will be hard for you to find out the problem without my laptop ;-)

By the way, it's version 1.0.5.17

Try to upload mp4: Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file... Any format that works here?

Sorry, I would like to do that. But there seems to be no upload or attachment option available here...

Still the same in 1.5.0.12 :mellow: ...
