    Can someone stop changing the shapes of the style presets. Its childish. They look horrible but most of all this is not professional I am trying to work and a now i have stupid icons that make style very hard to read. Gary
  3. thegary
    Can you make more icons rather than everything thing being either photo or designer. What i mean. I have EPS files associated with Affinity. But that changes the icon to a default DESIGNER icon and no longer says its EPS. Hard to sort file when they are all labeled the same. If you can make a Affinity Icon say different color say EPS on ....and same with other file formats. Gary

    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

    On the top options bar you should see AUTO SELECT . Make sure this is enabled to double click on items within the group. Hope this helps. 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

    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

    @Alfred I have..doesn't work... It went from updating in real time to having to close app. something is wrong. G
  16. thegary
    The latest update. 2.5.3 exe files for windows. Any font i install, now requires AFFINITY apps to be closed and reopened. This is different from 2.4 and older that appeared immediately in the AFFINITY apps. Gary
  17. thegary
    fonts are installed into the windows directory. in FONTS Fonts no longer update in all three affinity programs without a reboot. Fonts are installed for ALL USERS. This is how i have always installed them. My process hasn't changed, affinity has. Gary
  18. thegary
    no font manager.. Never used one. But with 2.5 it stopped upated the font list when installed. Reboot needed. Something changed in the program. Not in windows. Gary
  19. thegary
    This is also happening with the EXE version in Windows 11. older versions would see the newly installed font right away. I now have to restart the program. Rather annoying. Anyway this can be fixed? Gary

    Is it possible to make that when you select a mask, your color are automatically set to black and white. These are the color used a good deal of the time while painting on masks. Having to change them everytime wastes time in a day. This is what PHOTOSHOP does and would be a good workflow item to add to also help migrating users over to AFFINITY software. Gary

    The measure tool you added is great, but can you add some more functions. The ability to keep the measurements on screen and build on there own layer? The ability to make the text size increase/decrease The ability to change the stroke width with arrow. This would help tons in sending out drawing and artwork with measurements on them. Gary

    PC not Mac. The menu drop spacing has changed. Gary

    web based help isn't much good if you for some reason don't have internet. INTERNET DOWN, NO ACCESS FOR OUTAGE, and so on. Help should should be local and web for the newest. It can then be updated for each release. Gary

    Why have you changed this font menu for the worse? its all sqashed to gether. no option to increase the preview size of the font, you still haven't make it the length of the screen. Tiny scrolling area. Hate to say this but at least ADOBE can do this . Things are going backwards. Not all of us have the best vision and your making harder not easier to see. PLEASE add preview size of the fonts in the drop down menu like ADOBE and Make the dropdown menu longer. And yes it can be done , lots of other software do it. I m not even at 4K. 1600 on the height. Please dont' suggest scaling the OS to fix this. Not acceptable these days. I can give you list of software that do it internally to help customize the interface. I understand that in the sceme of things AFFINITY programs are newer, but its been long enough. Time to add some interface scaling . Thanks gary
