GRAFKOM

I'm getting tired of working in Affinity 2.0. I use Publisher for my daily work, there are some nice improvements in this version, but the interface is terrible. Why move things that no one complained about? Among other things, I mean the way of presenting a group of a selected font family. Who was bothered by the good looks in the V1. It was necessary to mess up in the V2 version so that you can't see if the font group is being developed? Serif please. Hire people to design the interface who have ever worked on graphic programs before and know what a program should look like that does not require special glasses, a magnifying glass and adequate sunlight in the room. I want to pay for hiring such a programmer - give me the price and account number.

Here you are. Vectorstyler can position a stroke outside or inside an open curve. There's no problem with that here. Maybe Serif should hire a Vectorstyler guy to bring this feature (and many others not present in AFINITY) to the program. During normal work when designing, for example, graphic signs, many times it would be useful to be able to set the outline of open curves differently than only in the middle of the line. 8 years Serif - 2 years VectorStyler

I keep getting the impression that the Scale override button in the Transformation panel is inactive when it is not selected. Serif can you change this icon so that the items in it are white? Like most of the icons in the other panels? In the photo I made a proposal of what it would look like. I remember that when I installed Affinity 2.0, at first I thought that this button didn't work because it was greyed out at the moment, as well as other really inactive buttons. So please fix this icon.

In Affinity support on Surface pro, I miss the icons: undo and redo and the trash icon and rotating the canvas with a gesture. Working on the tablet itself with a pen and without a keyboard is very tedious. Although the drawing itself is quite smooth, to undo or redo the operation you have to click on the Edit menu and then click on undo. Or if I want to remove a node with a pen, how do I do it? only by invoking the on-screen keyboard and clicking the DELETE button. With more serious work on the Surface Pro, the service becomes very cumbersome. So my suggestions: Add the ability to add undo, redo, trash, print, import, export icons to the top toolbar and add two-finger double-tap support on the screen to undo operations - just like on the iPad. I bought Surface Pro 8 specifically to support Affinity, but working on it to support Affinity programs is very tedious with just the pen and actually without any gestures. How much do you have to pay to add these options to the Affinity package? Serif give me the price - I'll pay what it takes - I need it for my professional work, not to play on the tablet.

In my opinion, Serif made a mistake by not releasing the Beta version of Affinity 2.0 All work related to the new edition was done in great secrecy. If a beta version of the new Affinity was released, users would quickly find bugs, shortcomings and bad ideas. Such a bad idea is, among other things, changing the icons in the Stoke panel. It's not good now. So I suggest if the appearance has been changed, add only blue elements like in V1. I really worked 2 days in the new software and I'm just tired of staring at these icons and wondering what each means (because they are very similar in these grays). And also this padlock or chain icon next to W and H and Start and End - now it looks so that you don't know if it's open or closed - it's not good. So just a small change to add a blue element and it will certainly help a lot in proper identification. I use Affinity every day in my professional work. There are also many bugs in the new version, so for now I'm going back to a certain V1 version and I'll wait for the V2 version to be improved. In the photo: on the left side the current appearance of the Stroke panel icons - on the right side my proposal to change the icons.

Dziękuję Komatös, twoja metoda faktycznie działa. Wystarczy jedno zastąpienie słowa, aby program działał poprawnie zamiast wstrzymywać aktualizacje systemu Windows. Może mógłbyś dostać pracę w Serif, twoja praca bardzo pomogłaby w rozwoju Affinity.

OK. walt.farrell Thank you for this information. This helped block specific updates. Nevertheless, Serif still needs to work on fixing this bug. Probably in version 2.0 - sometime.

O ile mi wiadomo, w systemie Windows 11 możesz wstrzymać wszystkie aktualizacje tylko na maksymalnie 21 dni. Raczej niemożliwe jest wybranie konkretnej aktualizacji, np. KB5017264, aby uniknąć kolejnej aktualizacji.

Tak? Jak?

Removing this update is only a temporary fix. In a moment, my computer updates again and installs this update. How to permanently remove the problem with Affinity programs closing after entering any letter in the font list? Why only Affinity programs have a problem with Windows updates?

Zaczynam się martwić, że Adobe Affinity zostanie niestety założone do końca roku, a podczas tego długiego okresu milczenia zarówno Serif, jak i Adobe prowadzą rozmowy na temat przejęcia oprogramowania. Sigma pożegnała się już ze swoimi fanami.

Plotka głosi, że następna beta odbędzie się w okolicach Bożego Narodzenia.

Rozczarowani klienci to ci, którzy czują się niepewnie. Po prostu napisz na głównej stronie forum, że nie przesyłasz wersji beta lub małych aktualizacji, ponieważ pracujesz nad wersją 2.0. Każdy to zrozumie i nie podawaj daty, jeśli nie chcesz. Ale teraz, gdy niektórzy ludzie piszą, że Affinity umarł lub Serif nie ma pracowników, aby uaktualnić linię programów Affinity. Musisz dobrze przeglądać forum, aby dowiedzieć się losowo, że coś się dzieje z oprogramowaniem. Jestem przedsiębiorcą, który na co dzień korzysta z oprogramowania Affinity w swojej pracy zawodowej. Chcę dać ci moje pieniądze, które trzymam za aktualizację CorelDraw (znacznie więcej pieniędzy niż 3 programy Affinity). Daj mi powód, aby te pieniądze trafiły do Serif, a nie corelDraw. Naprawdę, chciałbym dać ci dużo pieniędzy na programy, które mam nadzieję, że są tworzone (po prostu powiedz nam o tym) i które nie będą miały wielu błędów. Nie chcę niczego za darmo - zarabiam pieniądze tworząc za pomocą twojego oprogramowania.

Coś w stylu: "Wiem, ale nie powiem".

Sprawdź program Affinity za 10 lat, może coś pójdzie w tym kierunku. Serif niestety nie korzysta z tabletów z systemem Windows, gdzie używane są gesty i rysik, w przeciwnym razie wiedziałby, że w tym momencie używanie np. programów Surface pro i Affinity jest bezcelowe. Proces wprowadzania zmian w Affinity jest tak powolny, że za chwilę zmienisz okna na windows 20, a od Serif i tak nie dostaniesz odpowiedzi, ponieważ "czytają, ale nie odpowiadają.

W samym Serifie wydaje się, że nie wiedzą nic o powinowactwie 2.0.😁

Actually, I wonder what this conversation is for. Serif probably doesn't even read this information anyway. Please check my 2017 post this is 5 years ago. At that time, I was sending a proposal to improve the Affinity interface. Has anything changed since then? So I don't believe anything will change on this point anyway.

The only sad thing is that our discussion will not work anyway.

In general, it is probably more about adding the ability to add other icons to the interface in the top bar, than just those that are standard in the newly installed Affinity program. We want us to be able to decide for ourselves which icons are needed and which are not. There are undo icons in the iPad, macOS, and Surface Pro Windows does not. So if it were possible to add these icons, then working on Surface Windows would be easier. By the way, I have a question: do the opponents of inserting additional icons on the top bar, e.g. undoing, work professionally on Affinity programs on a daily basis? I ask out of curiosity.

Five years ago I wrote on this forum that it would be possible to add icons to the top taskbar by myself (similar to CorelDraw). At the moment it is a very, very, very limited amount of icons. Users could add buttons like: new, open, print, back, redo, import, export etc. If someone doesn't want to add, they don't add and have a clean top icon bar. I remember Sefif wrote in the forum that he wanted a minimalist top toolbar. I just don't know if any of the Affinity interface designers work with this program. Probably not, because he does not know how often these icons are used in normal everyday work on the software. I work every day at work (I am a graphic designer in an advertising company) also on Surface Pro 8 (Windows), there is no keyboard included. All simple activities that can be performed with 1 click on the icon (which is not there) have to be clicked through the top menu. So: e.g. undo, redo, print, insert etc. Adding an additional History panel takes up a lot of space on a small screen. A small undo icon would be enough. With the stubbornness of a maniac, Serif does not want to allow these icons to be added on their own. And it's probably not technical reasons that they can't do it, after all, they did all the software. Coming back to Corel Draw - it allows you to add an icon to each activity and function that is in the program, if there is no appropriate icon (and there is a huge amount to choose from), you can create your own icon in this program and connect it to any function or activity). Perhaps Serif programmers should look at other graphics programs on the market? In my opinion, this is empty talk, because I personally do not believe that it will be done, it's been 7 years since the creation of Affinity, and many features are not fixed (I'm not talking about adding new features, but about fixing). Very rarely does Serif respond to the needs of users, as if no one would read this information from their side. I compare it only to the VectorStyler software - where the response and reaction of the creator is almost immediate - yes I know there is only 1 program, Affity 3 programs on 3 platforms, but VectorStyler has contact.

Well, I got a comprehensive answer. Thank you.

These are some contradictions. So there is no new information, but still quietly secret from all Affinity programs are developing. An interesting way to promote software. As I wrote before, I use Affinity for my professional work on a daily basis. At the beginning of the development of this software, I actively participated in beta versions, suggesting ideas for improving the program, but I noticed that it does nothing anyway. I have the impression that Affinity developers are making the program, but not working on it! Users suggest ideas and corrections, but it also happens at such a snail's pace. The last updates were only the fixes of the patches of the corrected patches. And I don't expect anything for free here. I will be happy to pay a lot, much more money for the efficiently running Afinity software, even in version 1, if it is devoid of a lot of errors and flaws. If Serif is working on a new version 2.0, it is enough to say and write that you are developing version 2, not that there is no information. Thank you. Butryn Marek, Poland.

This is somewhat disturbing information. Has Serif stopped working on Affinity products? There is no new information regarding the new beta version 1.0. for several months. Could this be the end of the Affinity product line? It is a pity, because I work on a daily basis in the Affinity programs. Maybe Serif should hire you from Vectorstyler. There you can really see the progress of work on the development of the program and contact with customers. So goodbye Affinity. Serif encouraged graphic designers for his program and he seems to give up.

Ostatnio prace nad programami Affinity znacznie zwolniły, a nawet ostatnie aktualizacje były poprawkami. Mówi się, że Serif nie ma informatyków, którzy mogliby dalej rozwijać programy Affinity. Dwa lub trzy lata temu prawdopodobnie pracowali inni specjaliści IT, ponieważ wtedy można było zobaczyć postęp z kolejnymi aktualizacjami i dodano nowe funkcje (w ramach wersji 1.0) Teraz wszystko się zatrzymało. W tych 3 programach jest mnóstwo błędów i niedociągnięć. A teraz są dwie opcje: albo będzie awaryjna wersja 2.0 ze naprawionymi błędami i nowymi funkcjami (bez wersji beta?) Albo jest to koniec Serif, który wycofuje się z rynku.

Przestań prosić o tę okazję. Serif nie poprawi tego błędu moim zdaniem, a także wielu innych błędów. Nie ma teraz z nimi inteligentnych specjalistów IT. Tempo rozwoju jest tak szybkie, że wersja 2.0 pojawi się może za 7 lat. Problem, o którym mówisz, był omawiany ostatnio 2 lata temu: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/104816-set-units-to-mm-millimeters-application-wide/&tab=comments#comment-569863
