Sorry for the misunderstanding or my bad english: What I meant with "abbort" was: Cancel the current Tool function with the ESC Key

Ok, maybe I have to explain again - Its not working in APhoto and not with tools like crop, perspective distortion... and of course, to abbort these tools, the ESC key should be work too.

Hey Guys, I cant find any related thread via search function... My question is, is it possible to implement a function to draw guidlines with every tool, if im drawing it out of the ruler on top and on the left side? Currently you first have to click on the Move tool (v) to leave the current tool, e.g. distortion or cropping. This is highly impractical. It would be better if I could draw guides from the ruler with every tool

Ok, thanks guys. Its sad... But I think I have learned my lesson on the hard way now... 😬 Saving an document will be the first step from now on...

Hey guys, few minutes ago I wa working on a document in Designer and switched it to publisher cause of better text placing and editing workflow... as I moved he asked me to update publisher to the latest version - I sadly did it and now my document seems to be lost in the nirvana of nowhere... In which directory and folders saves Affinity the Recovery Files???

Have the same problem today... it sucks... and the Ransom protection is already off. Only a duplication of my file with copy and paste within the folder solved the problem. //EDIT: I found out that a *affinity-filename*.loc* file was in the folder, maybe cause of a crash of the app the day before... Simply delete the loc file solved the problem. I found the solution to delete the locked file here under step 3: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/-the-document-is-locked-for-editing-by-another-user-error-message-when-you-try-to-open-a-document-in-word-10b92aeb-2e23-25e0-9110-370af6edb638

If it comes to a crappy AI based canva shit or abo like Adobe in the future, I'll go the same way like in the past and use V2 for ages like my old beloved freehand 10 until today on Windows 11! 😎🤙🏻 But I will never ever subscribe to any abo bullshit! I also stopped working with capture one for this move last year and will use my latest stand alone as legacy version from now on... If the companies and their management only thinking about profit maximizing with TikTok hipster users, ok, but that's not my kind! Im out and say good bye in this case!

Habe die Problematik mit AMD Prozessoren auch schon mehrfach hier im Forum gelesen. Trifft aber auf mich nicht zu. Arbeite auf allen Systemen mit Intel. Auf meinem 12 Jahre alten Notebook mit onboard Grafik läufts aber auch am Besten, was ich überhaupt nicht verstehen kann.

I have under 150 local fonts, no Internet fonts and the old V1 apps had no problems with any kind of font. How can a newer version of it become so problematic with handling fonts?

thanks for the answers... Im at a very frustrated point right now... please read the forum, many people have this issues since V2 with lagging or randomly freezings by simply using fonts or the tools. On windows systems and also with apple... only with V2 apps... So it is maybe a structural problem and of how the apps were programmed. I am using windows 10 and windows 11, intel based systems right now with fastest retina settings, without Open CL. But it is no difference with it... I already tried all the solutions and Tips here incl reinstall, reset the apps or deactivate the Open CL and so on... nothing helped . The apps starting very slow (over 30s to 1min.), I get randomly freezes and/or "not responding"s by using fonts and have to wait around 10 to 30 sec to work again or it is randomly lagging and not responding by using tools... I finally want to know when the problem will be adressed and fixed???

Please Affinity guys, I am very frustrated... V1 worked like a charme, but V2 always lagging by using fonts, layers, objects or tools.... it F**king terrible to work with! When will you finally fix this issue or give us any workaround in the meantime??? 😑 I like Affinity so much, but instead of bringing new things in any new little version, you better have work on the performance, lagging and stability. 🙏

freeze and comeback all the time. Since 2.3.1 it is a bit better since 2.3.1, but the very slow start up time and the constantly randomly freeze when using the fonts or any other tools is frustrating.

...same here since V2. V1 works always fine, also on windows 10 and 11 until today. But V2 starts very very slow - up to 3 minutes - and it always freezes from time to time using fonts or moving an object or layer... it is totally frustrating that the Affinity guys knowing this issue, but do not adress or fix it yet...

Dear Affinity, I come to a point, whre I am really pissed off now... Since V2 it is slow slow slow on start up, by open fonts, by copy and paste something within the documents.... My time is my money and I cannot work properly right now! What is the F*** problem with V2 Apps??? In V1 all was fine!!! I have this problem on all my 3 windows 10 and 11 notebook and PC systems...

Maybe I have to apologize... for whatever reason, it works fine today for hours. FINGERS CROSSED - hopefully it was only yesterday during the updates
