Is this still happening to anyone else? I just want to be sure that it's not some weird settings on my end.
-
Wow, I was really really hoping this issue was gong to be fixed in this last small update. Still happening to me, still such a frustrating thing to happen when opening Photo. Please, please, please look into this. This has never been an issue over all of these years, curious as to what caused this to happen recently. Hopefully it can be fixed.

Saving a preset doesn't save the location of the export window unfortunately. This is really such an annoying issue. I really hope they can patch this soon. I was hoping it would have been fixed in this last update.
-
Does anyone know if this was fixed in the 2.6 update because it is still happening and boy is it so frustrating moving all windows and floating panels and export window each launch.
-
Good to hear! Was just about to ask the same question. I feel like it just started with the last update but hope it gets fixed soon.

My hope is that the products will continue to be available as stand alone products with no sub. And they will probably also get integrated into the subs that Canva offers. Hopefully the extra capital will enable even more development of tools for us. It would be great if they can see the value in keeping both the non sub products as well as any they might offer in the Canva subs. Time will tell. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Please Please Please let us easily edit, paste in info into the channels. I've been using the Affinity suite since it's beta on Windows and working in game dev and 3d we need easy channel editing/pasting. Channel packing is used all the time in game dev and it's an enormous pain to do in Photo. It should be simple to copy a greyscale selection and go into any channel and simply paste it in. I love recommending Photo to people but always stop short when it comes to 3d / game work as this is a sorely needed feature.

I'll take a look at that file and workflow. I feel like it might just be easier to use macros to insert the grayscale images into the single document over this method but I do appreciate it and will feel it out!

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply! I was kind of hoping there was a 'paste into channel' option that I was missing somewhere. Your first method is the one that I did figure out and currently use but was hoping there would be a quicker method somehow. I might just make a macro that will do these steps for me in the end. I have three different types of grayscale texture maps that I need to place into a single RGB document to use in a game engine where I will be accessing each of the channels separately for their desired purpose. I think I will just make a macro for each color channel.

So I'm just trying to find an easy way to take a grayscale image and put it into one of the RGB channels of a different document. I figured out a method but it takes many steps for each channel and I'm assuming there is a much easier way that I'm missing. I was hoping that I could simply copy a grayscale image; go to a specific RGB channel and paste it into that channel but that just creates a whole new pixel layer. Any suggestions are appreciated! Cheers!

@walt.farrell Thanks so much! That setting fixed the issued. I did get a tablet a while back but didn't make the connection. Thanks for the help! Jeff

I noticed this on the previous version but was hoping it would be fixed on the latest version of Photo on Windows. The menus are all over the place depending on where they are on the top bar. Just wondering why they are all not flush left for all of the menus. I feel like it used to be that way and changed at some point. It kind of drives me crazy and makes it hard to be sure you have selected the correct menu. Not sure if this is happening for everyone. Thanks, Jeff See the examples below:

Wow, thank you so much! I actually looked through the prefs but must have missed that.

It would be great to add an option/pref in Photo to make scaling of placed images consistent with scaling of other elements. SHIFT=proportional / NO SHIFT=non-proportional The way it is currently leads to more errors due to muscle memory. I would like to ALWAYS have to hold shift to keep an item proportional. It seems like an odd choice to have SHIFT behave different for different objects. Sometimes I end up slightly distorting a placed image because I hold shift to constrain it but I'm actually not constraining it.

Pen pressure with xp-pen tablet not working
Pixel and Poly replied to rudyumans's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Just a quick thanks for this! Was searching for reason why my tablet wasn't working correctly on the latest Affinity update and this fixed it for me. cheers! -
Thanks for looking into it for me. I guess my request for having ONLY the numbers appear would still apply as it would open up some options for us.
-
Hi @dominik , yes this was created in the latest full release. Not a beta. It's fine about posting/asking about that here. We all want a bug free application.
-
Sure, here's a small example that I put together that shows what I'm trying to accomplish and what happens after an update. Thank you! Jeff sample-toc.afpub

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks Walt. I was able to update those styles and it updates now without resetting the type formatting. I have it displaying like this> <tab>page#<tab>heading Do you happen to know if there is any way to have a tab inserted before the numbers automatically? Every time I update the TOC the tab that I manually insert before the page # goes away and I cannot see a way to have it set up to have the first tab in the settings. I see how we can insert tabs or other elements between #s and headings but not before. Thanks for you assistance! Jeff

It would be helpful if we could have the option to have a TOC field be composed of the associated page numbers without the accompanying text. This would allow us to have a TOC field that is only the numbers which could be formatted a different way from the associated heading text but it could be updated without the need to reformat any style. This would be useful for TOC that need to have the page numbers a different style than the heading text. We could simply have a field for the #s and one for the text and then update both of the fields and everything would be good to go. As of now after an update of the field we need to go in and change all of the numbers to the desired style every time. Hope that makes sense! If there is an easy way to accomplish this now that I'm missing I'd love to learn. Thanks, Jeff

Thanks for the reply, Dan! I can work around the text getting updated as the TOC I’m working on is not that large and the text style I’m using takes care of most of the formatting. Maybe I’ll submit a feature request to add the ability to have a TOC with only the page numbers with no text as it would allow for more flexibility in designing a TOC that can be updated without the need to make manual changes.

I prefer to use Designer as you can do a lot with constraints and it's a good place to create any SVG graphics to be used for the final websites (and use Photo for any images needed for the site). There are programs specifically made for web design, though, such as https://www.figma.com/ or https://www.sketch.com/ . I still prefer to use Affinity Designer for my web mock-ups and design, though.

Is there a way to keep all of the formatting on a TOC text area after you update the TOC content? When I update the TOC area it resets any new tabs and specific character formatting I have applied to the page numbers. Also, is there possibly a way to have the TOC page numbers appear without the associated text? Thanks!

The Asset Pack contains 80 clean vector assets. Almost all of the assets are set up for easy tiling. They are all solid objects with no stroke so you can easily apply any fills, gradients or fx to the objects. The PDF has some more info and lists all of the individual assets. https://gum.co/screentone The assets are broken into six sub groups: 100mm screentone blends (7 assets) 60mm screentone dot tints (19 assets) 300mm screentone blends (6 assets) 300mm screentone dot tints (19 assets) 300mm screentone reverse dot tints (10 assets) 300mm screentone line tints (19 assets) Screentone Information Document.pdf

Point Transform tool is missing
Pixel and Poly replied to aleale1's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Thanks for that answer. Was just about to ask the same question. I wonder if the default node toolbar icon should be the one with the pullout for the point transform instead of the original one.
