    Affinity Publisher - Sneak Preview

    in News and Information

    Posted

    Shall we scream at creators, that people who buyed AD and AP together have to get a discount? or people that bought all the products from beginning? Omg. For ~50USD product?
    Price of these fine products (counting in AD and AP) are so low, that any graphic designer can make money on it in few hours. So why so much flame?

    Just shut up and take my money! Hope it will be soon ready for try/buy :)

    Bug with different artboards size

    in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on Windows threads

    Posted

    So after another day, another found bug :)

     

    have two same artboards 85x55, one for CMYK, one for UV.

    sadly, they are not same size in PDF. and, the font is aswell a bit different on both artboards, even when both on same spot, same attributes.

    alt - dragged UV artboard from the CMYK artboard and changed all to one color for UV printing.

     

    when i tryed to find out whats happening, i tryed to open both pages in illustrator and putted them over. detail result is seen on PNG - gray is UV artboard, black is CMYK artboard - as left side was perfectly aligned,
    right side of the UV artboard was exactly 1crop mark width wider. There is something not nice going on :)

     

    using production / beta 104

    Rasterize size problem

    in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on Windows threads

    Posted

    situation -
    1. two artboards A4, side by side, with some space between.
    2. you place image on the right one, bigger than A4
    3. make cropping layer, bigger than A4 on all sides -> mask to below 

    4. rasterize the layer.

     

    The bleeding will be rasterized only on side next to first A4, on top, right, bottom will be cropped exactly to the artboard, not by bigger cropping layer.

    If you add empty artboard on top, right bottom, it will work as intended..... :)

    Snapshots

    - they ignore global colors 

    Steps to reproduce bug

    - make square, one document palette, global color for square.
    - take snapshot 1
    - change global color to some new color

    - make snapshot 2

    - return to snapshot 1. Global color (in doc palette) will remain on snapshot 2 color, but all linked items will change color to the snapshot 1 color. But if you change again the color, they will respond to the change. 

    --------------------

    its a bit more bitchy in large document with colors setted in symbols, multiple artboards etc. the color changes in SOME of them, some remain on previous color. switching in many times lead to loss of slices and sometimes to crash. But, i cannot reproduce it in some easy way. But in result, its not usable feature yet.

     

    I could send you again some document where it is more problematic, but its around 230MB and its client work, so i cannot post that in public.

    i must agree with JohaWeber. even 1.5 is far far away from what i may call production. Its simple fact, not whining.

     

    - the symbols are not usable yet, at least for me. when in use with larger folder structure and multiple artboards, allways f...s off whole document in the result. when used with raster layer and curves, dead monkey everytime i copy some structure or scale something.
    - constrains are the same. Never happened to make multiple artboards document that will not crash or work as intended (sublayers jumped when scaled or simply disappear,  etc)

    - to be honest, i was on photoshop/illustrator since 1996, but they NEVER released so buggy version. And most (not all, yes)  bugs were repaired very fast. So in my eyes, its not about "they had 25 years to finalize all the magic" but about deep testing. on real big projects. 

    - and as i allready told here, i wouldnt mind give you more money for adding new features, or new version, when it would be just working fine :)

     

    I still hope :)

    @Nezumi - well yes, i could understand that its not for production, but the production beta (no offense, but it is still beta in my eyes - looooots of bugs, missing features, long time promissed 1.6) is not working for me either ... see frequent freezing in designer. So my only possibility to use bought program is to use beta beta... So im saving each save in new file, but still, this is first time i lost 3 last saves :) - Ill test if further, these saves have +-215MB, still im at 1/4 of my normal count of artboards when designing web.....

    and another bug - 

    i have extremly simple symbol (synced) that includes curve layer with pixel layer. When i then alt drag the artboard that includes few copies of the symbol, the pixel layer jumps somewhere out of the curve scope (like +800px X and Y) :) . If i undo the action, designer fall and report a bug. When i manually open one of the instance of the symbol, i can move the pixel layer to its previous position instead of undo ...

    Reporting :) after 2 days of very hard work on some web projects 

    - rotate of selected points via mousebuttons is rotating around handles, not around some center. Only possibility is to add there value to the transform menu. If i use the handle for input, it jumps back to original value after clicking into the work
    - weird save - i saved my work, and turned off my computer. Affinity asked me to save the work again - i better made new save and voila, after reboot, it had 0bytes.... whole day work could be lost :)

    - problem that i have aswell with full version - im using 2 monitors - if they go to sleep, all windows on second monitor reset to first one. This is pain in the ass... at least give us possibility to restore windows to defined position, or did i miss something related to this problem?

     

    Anyways, good job

    Guys,

     

    i have to say, im quite disappointed now... Maybe i missed something, and its only my mistake, but Im waiting from first betas for 
    - free transform / distort box for selected objects, same you can with ctrl drag select box corners in photoshop. Its so simple to do so even math model is not so scary, why we dont have such basic thing? Or did i really miss something?
    - transform box for group of points
    - ability to deal with bigger projects with lots of artboards (its better, but still not comparable with photoshop)

     

    and i got light UI. well its fine, but i really need to work, and withou these features ill be not able to switch fully to Affinity :(
