Hide file extension setting not working in 2.6.0 2831. Checked or unchecked, the file extension is beeing saved after file name.

For me they have transparency outside the "document borders", but the preview quality is so bad!! Everything is blurried... it seems you are taking the thumbnail and just scaling up, but that doesn't produce a good result honestly. But i think we have seen some improvements 😉

From the quick test i've done so far, i honestly think that for this kind of images the object selection tool provides better results because you can see the segments and choose the ones you want.

I can confirm this, but i think it's just because we have the layer deselected. I we repeat all those steps but before select subject you click the layer in layers panel it won't crash, at least not for me.

I can see the content of the file but with this size. Is that the expected behaviour? Or should be the "full" windows preview, like a png for example @Patrick Connor

I honestly think that the main big issue here is exactly the communication. @MEB is the only one that have replied to this topic with the info he have in hands, but i think if we have an ETA, things would be different. We know that the fix is in tests, just let me put this scenario so that anyone on staff that could have some info could tell if this is something possible or not. Release a beta as is with the fix on it, so it can "affect" all affinity files just with this purpose, so we can help you test if it's working or not. I think this could be a win-win situation honestly. For us it can´t go worse than it is now...

@Patrick Connor please give us some news regarding this because it's slowing down our work and it's costing us some money. Honestly at this point and almost a month after OS official release the fix should be out now...

@Fairholm i'm exactly with the setup you have and i don't have any kind of trouble with it. It's working as expected. Maybe trying to reset the studio? (Watch out because you will lose your window arrangement)

I think, and it's just my opinion, when the fix will be available it will automatically work for the old files too. Talking about the preview/quicklook problem.

Let's be honest too. For me, and i have this problem since sequoia beta 7 or 8 i think, i'm working this way, and in my workflow those 2( affonts and quicklook/thumbnails) are the only problems i'm facing. The software is working Ok. For me it's slowing down my work because i need to open dozens of files a day and previewing is quicker than opening file by file until i find the correct one and i name my files the best i can...

No, Affinity just need to adapt their software to use the new Apple API for the Quicklook/Thumbnails. As soon as Affinity release a new version with the fix the problem should be solved. I'm one of those that are affected and unfortunately i can't go back to Sonoma, and it's slowing down my work a lot. If i think Affinity should have already a fix for this? Of course! If i'm happy with that? No If i still support Affinity? Absolutely!

Hi @MEB why the topic has changed name?? Do you have any news for us? From day to day these 2 things are really slowing down the work...

Hi, i'm using Sequoia beta, and at this point these things i've reported here are the main things i'm facing right now. If those are not so important to you then i think you're good to go.

Hi @MEB i've just installed Sequoia RC and nothing has changed on Apple side fonts doesn't load and thumbnails and previews are not working as well, so the fix really need to come from you guys, and it will be released to public on September 16, so if a fix is not released until there i think your support inbox will be full of this. If you need me to try/test something, please let me know!

Thanks @MEB looking forward for a fix!

Hi, i've installed MacOS Sequoia and i'm having some problems which i think you guys want to handle before MacOS Sequoia release. Thumbnails are not stored/shown in files in Finder and the file preview doesn't work with quick look (space bar preview) Affinity Fonts .affont are not being loaded either installed manually or through the account window. For me both are at this point slowing down my work, but i know that using beta versions could cause some issues but i really would like if if can take a look into this before Sequoia release.

@NathanC Just to let you know that this still happening with sequoia beta 8 and affinity 2.5.5 beta which will be released on sept 2 as Patrick have stated, and i don't think it will be another affinity release before sequoia becomes retail. That is annoying that we don't can't see the preview pressing the space in Finder... @dradept You're still have the same behaviour right?

I'm almost 100% sure that the preview was updated as soon as the context toolbar settings were updated because that was what helped me creating the "master" file, but i'm waiting someone inside tell me if it is something odd here or not. Yes, fortunately i can do my work 🤣

@walt.farrell and @Hangman thanks for your replies. @walt.farrell i didn't honestly click the generate button because of the preview which i think we both agree that is broken. (it was working well in the latest versions before those two) @Hangman you're right the settings you've recommended are the ones that i have in my original file.

I have a file that let me generate some labels for a client and the "master" file would let me generate the pdf to print. All that i needed to do is updating my data merge excel file and generate, but in the 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 beta i just have the first record from the file in all the rows defined in the data merge layout tool, and if i click int the context toolbar in the record offset or record advance nothing happens. Attached the publisher file and one excel file with generic data because i can't share the client file. All that i expect is the 1st record in the first cell, the second in the second and so on, and was working ok the last time i've used before these versions. Am i doing anything wrong or is there effectively a bug? Names.xlsx Names Test.afpub

@EmT I think that sometimes the app crash when i have one art text or text box with a normal font like Arial and the click the dropdown and switch between Recent and All list on the left (when i have crashes i'm not using the character or paragraph panels). Yes, i have some variable fonts installed and i use the Typeface app to manage my font library.

Hi @EmT I've had another crash in the latest build and i've collected the log file. Here it is. Affinity Designer 2 Beta-2024-05-17-122731.ips

@EmT Thanks, i will keep an eye on it. (This pace delivering betas is really nice and appreciated)

Hi I have some crashes while working, clicking in the font dialog and then in the recent font tab. It doesn't happen always, but i've got a crash log and maybe it will help you guys find out what it could be. Thank you Affinity Designer 2 Beta-2024-05-10-170630.ips
