[Problems Exporting in EPS]

Have you tried the beta? I'm pretty sure you'll find this is fixed :)

[Opening Freehand files]

Hi Gunnar,

 

I don't think that text in Freehand files is likely to be ready any time soon - there are so many other more important things that need to work properly first, that for most users it's not at the top of their list, unfortunately. It'll definitely get there one day, but it needs a lot of time looking at it - don't forget that we don't have any way of importing these files other than looking at the bits in the files we have and seeing if we can work out which bit means which thing, and when you're dealing with text there are a lot of properties and it's going to be difficult to get them all right... and even then, it'll be more work to make the text flow correctly considering we have a different text layout engine to the one Freehand used. Basically, it will get done, but it is by no means a small undertaking and the graphical import of Freehand content was far more widely requested so this is why it was completed more quickly.

 

Thanks,

Matt

[Can´t install the Affinity (Yosemite 10.10)]

Hi Askraba,

 

Are you trying to use the Trial version? Your machine may be set to not allow software from anywhere except the App Store - look in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy. You need to select 'Allow apps downloaded from : Mac App Store and identified developers' and when you run the first time it will take a few moments to check the file and then ask you to confirm you want to run it.

 

Hope that helps,

Matt

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.0.21212)]

From our crash reporter I can see that 84% of our crashes with this beta have been caused by front-end bugs concerning an optimisation we made with the context toolbar. Andy Tang has already identified the problem and is looking to resolve it asap, so hopefully a lot of the issues people are having will just magically disappear in the next beta update - hopefully later this week :)

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.0.21212)]

Thanks for your time on this one - I'll try to look into it... We have a 2012 MacBook Pro Retina with discrete GPU so we'll give it a try :)

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.0.21212)]

Thanks for that report Garytagreg - I've tried and tried and I can't get it to fall over on my machine... Do you, by any chance, have a MacBook Pro Retina with a discrete graphics card? If so, could you try checking or unchecking the option in Affinity Designer's Preferences to use only the integrated graphics card, and see if that affects things?

 

Thanks!

Matt

[File size changes]

...and I'd just like to say at this point - your Sponge Bob design is very cute! :)

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.0.21212)]

That looks awesome, paolo! :D 

[Problems Exporting in EPS]

Hi icuack, can you either share a .afdesign file showing the problem, or at the very least a screenshot in the program and the output that you're seeing? I'm sure we can answer this for you. Also, have you tried using the latest Beta version as one of our new features is that we now have our own EPS exporter which I would expect to work much better than our original released version's EPS export.

 

Thanks,

Matt

[Straight line with the brush tool]

I still have a lot of work to do with both the Pencil and Vector Brush Tools - I'll be focusing on these soon so expect to see a lot of improvements, functionality-wise :)

[Styles panel changes]

Yes, both things are completely sensible and really should be there. I'll make sure they're on the list :)

[Grey User Interface]

Hi R C-R, yes that's correct - it's only going to affect your UI, not the document itself :)

[Dream Styles]

Wow, thanks for these Chris! :D

[Introduce Yourself]

Hi Theo, wait until you see Affinity Photo - hopefully the combination of Designer and Photo will go down really well at your design company! :)

[my 1st AFFINITY]

Nice simple 3D effect from the different shades - and an interesting way to dissect a star! :)

[my 3rd AFFINITY]

Cool! I really like the groove running around it!

[my 2nd AFFINITY]

Yeah, really nice work with the texture there! :)

[my 4th AFFINITY]

Very stylish! :) 

[typo worx .. out soon]

Looking forward to the finished typeface! :)

[Free trial expired]

Hi ken_

 

The trial version only starts the trial when it is run for the first time and after that there's no way to reset it, sorry :(  We had to make it fairly secure because there's no restrictions to the trial and an unlocked trial would just be equivalent to a full version.

 

Thanks,

Matt

[Airwolf logo: WIP]

Nice work, peter! :) 

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.0.21212)]

I ran into an oddity.  Showing in my drawing (and shouldn't be there) is a black rectangle with a "-0.171 in".  It stays fixed to one position until I move the scroll wheel of the mouse then the box jumps to be just to the right and slightly below the cursor.  It doesn't seem to matter what tool is selected.  The number does not change.

 

It's the selection information showing as part of the tool draw - you hadn't just been dragging a guide around had you? :)
