There is definetely missing a dialog for setting the strength of the smoothing. Have an imported GPS-Track here with thousends of points - and one click on "smooth curve" reduces them to about 10! The result is lacking any resemblance of the original curve. Currently this tool is utterly useless.

Ahh - MeshWarp Filter! Very cool. This one slipped by... It's the standard mesh warp tool which cuts off the images.

Boolean still broken and unreliable
maxen replied to friedgoldmole's topic in Designer 2 Bugs found on Windows
As somebody already mentioned: the text ist the problem. Booleans work flawless (at least on my end), but V2 messes up the text curves. It worked in V1, so they changed something to the worse. You can even create fine working booleans with text in V1, open the file in V2 and it gets messed up. -
Applying the mesh warp to an object that is larger than the workspace crops the object to its visible part. By the way - I thought warp was nondestructive by now...

Compounds not working with (even converted) text
maxen replied to maxen's topic in Designer 2 Bugs found on Windows
I think it's not a problem of the compounds rather of the text conversion. The curves seem to be not closed, although they pretend to be. Trying to fix them does not work because, well, they THINK they are alright already. Maybe it can be broken down to some specific fonts; I didn't test this. -
Great! Thanks for this idea!

feature request: gradient along a stroke
maxen replied to Gardenia's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
People asking for this (elemetary) feature for 8 Years now... sad to see nothing happens. And probably never will. -
I'm really wondering that they irgnore this request for so long. Should be easy to implement a function which simply creates symbols of a given object and order them in a linear, radial or spline driven pattern... Actually, this missing pattern function is the biggest drawback of this otherwise very nice tool.

Gradients on lines
maxen replied to toltec's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Me too - thanks! -
Well, I installed the substitution font (it's identical to the origninal, it's just a different name) and switched the substitution font from arial (automatic set bey AP) to the one I wanted to use instead. I expect AP to replace the missing font when I am able to select a substitution font, what I did. At least it should change the substition font to the new one. But the fonts in the document don't change. I really had to select every single textbox and change their font manually. I expected the font manager to work the same way as the ressource manager does.

Strange, I don't get the warning here. But I jaust remembered asking this same question almost two years ago and got the same answer. Sorry for that... Nevertheless there are some strange behaviours when trying to export a mix of masked pixel layers and vector layers to pdf. For now I export the large 40.000px version without transparency und reduced the transparent version to 32.000px. Our customer says it's OK so we got away with it.

Well, that at least is doubled by Affnity.

I tried to export a very large Image (40.000px x 12.000px) als .png and Photo reduced the size to 32767px x 10609px (without warning). Is there a limit to a maximum pixel count in any way? Maybe this is related to the issue I'm having exporting these images as .pdf with transparency. See also: These strange alpha channel issues don't occur in images the width below 32.000px.

Also can't get Photo and Designer installed. Publisher did, mysteriously. Tried as Administrator - no succes, no error warnings, just a stuck Affinitiy installer process to be found in task manager background processes. Had the same issues with the last betas. Setup.log SetupUI.exe.config
