[Square bracket brush sizing hotkeys occassionally stop working]

I had this issue; after reading through the forum, I (experimentally) remapped the square bracket hotkey to the lowercase-brackets  { }  on my spanish Latam Keyboard. 

Brushsize adjustment now working without any issues. 
 

[Designer and Publisher crash on save]

... I did another test doing the following:

The initial file had a special page format. I Made a new file with a page Preset DIN A 3 and copy-pasted all content. One page at a time, starting with the master pages. 
The file could be saved and I now can continue working on my project. Saved - alas, not completely solved: might be the non-standard Pageformat. But - WHY the heck crashed this file the app?

Keep up being the best! Cheers, Mathias

[Designer and Publisher crash on save]

Thie mornig I opened my Suite to continue a job due monday morning. After a couple of minutes editing in Publisher, on "save" the app turns off, leaving (fortunately) the file unaltered.
I tried several times, with and without admin privileges, But no way. Every time I try to save, the App crashes fatally. 
I changed to my backup machine, with a previous version installed. Same drama. So it must be the file. Special page format?

This happens to be a pesky failure under production conditions, probably will be busting my deadline. (still got 16 hours to get this done.)  Any ideas? (file attached).

I LOVE the suite, this is my first ever FATAL accident.

Regards, Mathias

[[solved] After Update to 1.7.0 Designer does not start up on Win7]

Problem solved. Here is what I did:

Uninstall affinity Designer 1.7 from within the setup (not windows control Panel)
With a third party registry tool,  search for all registry keys containing "Affinity-Designer" and delete them all.

Restart

Install Designer 1.7 from the downloaded file. The app will say "Updating to 1.7"

And voilá: Affiniy Designer starting up. 
 

[[solved] After Update to 1.7.0 Designer does not start up on Win7]

Hi Callum, I tried this also. Windows asks me if I allow Designer to "realizae changes" on the computer (which I obviouslo do allow), but the same here: during a second or two the cursor shows the "wait"-icon, then nothing else happens. No Affinity Process in the Task manager, neither.  

[[solved] After Update to 1.7.0 Designer does not start up on Win7]

I just updated to the latest 1.7 Version of Designer and now the program won't  start up.
Windows 7 Professional, all updates installed, everything else working flawless. Aero activated. 
Any hints to get the app running?

I also have Photo (pre-update), which after the problem with 1.7 did not update yet. Downloaded 1.7, though.

Yesterday purchased the publisher license; the Beta runs perfect. 

[Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.139 (Windows)]

I am using it and it works very good. Up to now, I have no glitches or bugs to report. 
Would be helpful if you could add a torrent for distribution of the beta, at this moment the remaining download time, (due to server load, I assume), is three hours, apróx. 

Waiting for the commercial release to come out. Will buy. Three thumbs up!

 

[Keyboard Input of shape sizes andtheir location on the artboard]

Thank You so much. I had this panel turned off. Happy now.

[Keyboard Input of shape sizes andtheir location on the artboard]

How can I draw a rectangle form by manually inputting dimensions (height, width) ? In illustrator, I selct my shape, click on the canvas and then can input horizontal and vertical sizes. To position the shape on the artboard, I input x and y values in the control panel.

How is this done in affinity designer? I´ve been looking a lot but probably didn´t see the obvious?
