2.6.3 Designer photo publisher bug crash
thegary replied to thegary's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
@Hangman Can you please point me to the CRASH report and i will upload them. Thanks Gary -
thegary started following blah blah , 2.6.3 Designer photo publisher bug crash , expand stroke on line after stroke width tool unexpected results and 1 other

So just updated to get fix for expand stroke , now 2.6.3 is randomly crashing. if you open program , no document, and click on the layers panel, program crashes. Doesn't do it with document open. But it has also randomly crashed 5 time in the last hour. VERY ANNOYING...AT WORK and this means i have to revert to 2.6.2. 2.6 is turning out to be a major bug filled program. Please test these longer. Crash Report ATTACHED for DESIGNER PHOTO and PUBLISHER. Same issue for all three Gary ccd8cae7-cc9a-4f43-b724-3a8cd677aca3.dmp 655058c3-c8e0-45a5-b7c6-d3c024e94211.dmp c0a8c219-5d7b-4b7b-a3ca-4eefc2d1c620.dmp

@NathanC Thank you for the reply. File attached. I have the stroke with unexpected results. Duplicate of lines to the left so you can see what they look like before expanding. Gary test.afdesign

When using the stroke width tool on a line , and then expanding stroke. Sometimes its expands correctly. Othertimes its not correct, distorted not replicating the results. This seems to be a new bug to me. One minute it works the next it doesn't. Seems more consistant if you do it in a file with nothing else. But if there are other elements in the document then you get unexpected results. Rather annoying. Ended up drawing out shapes instead. Gary

I have requested this before and i have seen that many other have. I used DESIGNER more than the other 2 pieces of software. I work in the MOVIE INDUSTRY as a graphic designer/animator. Most of the signage and graphics we make for movie are in DESIGNER and thats how they go to sign shops for signs, picture vehicle wraps and so on. The art is designed in designer and if any distressing or affects to be added to the designs, then i use PHOTO. When EVERY piece of art goes about we need to send a LAYOUT SHEET with sizes, angles, dimensions and material information so that SIGN SHOP and Film Production Designer know what being made. I used to do this in Illustrator / Cadtools. Cadtools enable you to select a line or point and pull out a dimension, automatically adding the number measurement and putting them on a separate layer to the art. This is a incredibly fast way to layout this out and has a quickly understood presentation. Designer added the measuring tool / area and scale tool. All very helpful and work well. Can you please add to this toolset. Adding the ability as mentioned above to have pull out dimensions and having it move to its on layer. It also acts as a PROOFING of sizes of art. When pulling out dimensions you are seeing it visually and helps confirm sizes are correct before sending for final output. At the moment we have to add a line, add arrow, scale stroke, move and snap to edge of object, duplicate 2 more times and then type the number of the measurement in. This is very time consuming. Without the proofing as mentioned above. If you interested seeing the art, i can send it to you. I cannot post here based on NDA's that i have signed. But i am sure you understand what i mean by this. I know that ILLUSTRATOR does this through the CADTOOLS plugin, and COREL also does this natively . Please consider for future upgrade. I have stopped using the other software after years of converting everything through the AFFINITY products. Would be great to have this feature. Thank you for considering Gary

Affinity Designer 2.6 update
thegary replied to JabbaLeChat's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
I have been asking for this option for a while. Since PHOTO was heavily focused on this update. Perhaps then can add some of these tools to DESIGNER that have been endlessly requested. HOTDOOR CADTOOLS for Illustrator is fantastic. We need this tool set for DESIGNER. Gary -

@zcim thank you for the post . Good to know. I was able to fix the lagging , with the memory being lowered below 22GB. Had it to about 19 if i remember correctly. This was on my old system. I built a new one and with the latest AFFINITY software i have not seen any laggings. I will keep you suggestion in mind should it return. Thanks Gary
