Hi Highvoltage,
I can't currently reproduce ctrl and click duplicating objects, it just simply selects the object if it is inside a group for me. As Matej mentions resetting the program might help you resolve it, but it won't help us fix it in the future as we haven't reproduced it in house yet.
If you choose to reset, before you do so could please zip up %AppData%\Affinity\Designer\1.0 (Beta)\ so we can try reproduce it here?
The ctrl drag undo bug is already logged and is unfortunate, if you view the History tab you can see why it doesn't undo the duplication, since it treats the duplicate as one undo step and the transform as another, pressing undo again will get rid of the duplicate, but it should hopefully be fixed in a future version.
Thanks
Edit: Just seen your reply, since a ctrl reset hasn't fixed it, can you let me know if you still get the issue by simply creating a 2 object document, grouping them and then ctrl clicking one object? Does it duplicate it every single time?

Hi Highvoltage,
We are already aware of this issue and it should hopefully be fixed in a future version. Thanks for reporting it :)

@daniel7 - Thanks for reporting that, i've queried it with our translator and have got the strings updated, it should be fixed only for instances when shift is used as a keyboard modifier.

Hi Lynn,
I've just had a play around with our Wacom pen and didn't have any luck getting it to stick on the colour picker.
If you encounter this again and can note any information that would help me reproduce this that would be great, as I suspect there's a bit of a recipe to follow to get to happen.
Thanks
-
Sorry you are encountering issues, there's probably a unique recipe for an issue you keep stumbling across, so any useful information on your workflow would be useful in helping us track it down.
Have you been getting exceptions or just experiencing crashing to desktop? If the program raises an exception on the next runup it should send a crash report. When it does this it provides you with a reference, if you can screenshot this and attach it here we can look into the crash reports to help us try track down the cause of your crashes.
Thanks

Hmmm that's odd! I think it's because it seems to get a bit of "lag" when it has multiple layers, so doesn't properly detect the correct amount the mousewheel has scrolled.
I've got it logged for the developers to look into.

Hi florrpan,
Sorry that this slipped through and didn't get a reply, it was a well reported issue so our bad!
Luckily I believe this got caught a while ago.
I'll just double check this is infact logged, or if i'm imagining things get it logged for the developers.
Thanks for making sure it got reported :)

Hi Macalienx,
Thanks for the update.
Do you know what specific Windows updates it was that you installed that fixed the issue?
-
No worries, i'll poke around too and see if I can reproduce anything, but if you do get it again just upload it here, thanks!
Edit: I stumbled across a recipe where if you set constraints on specific objects inside a group, which is itself constrained to another parent object, some interesting things happen, but nothing that an undo wouldn't resolve..
-
Hiya,
So i've tried to replicate a similar document setup to what you explain and haven't had any luck replicating any "craziness", especially something that an undo wouldn't fix.
What type of constraints do you have set up on the children objects? As that could be the reason I can't reproduce it.
If you can attach me a sample file that shows the issue it would help make sure that i'm not missing anything when trying to reproduce it.
Thanks :)
-
Hiya,
I'll try set a similar file up to see if I can reproduce this crash, but if you could attach or upload and pm me your file that would be helpful.
Thanks

It would be alot easier to say it is a feature, but it looks like a bug to me! If you have the colour tab visible at the same time you can see it change as soon as the width reaches 0. I'd expect it to remember the colour that was set even if the width is 0. It also behaves this way on the mac version.
I'll get this logged for the developers.
Thanks for taking the time to report it!
Edit: This is actually reproducible on the mac and is already logged, just needs a slight tweak to the recipe

Hiya KoBu,
This is a bit, it initially just looks like some sort of redraw issue but they don't go away!
I'm going to poke this a bit further but i'll get it logged for the developers to look into :).
Thanks for reporting it.

@sperl42 - There is no way to downupgrade a 1.5 to 1.4 file at the moment, simply because a 1.5 file could contained saved features that 1.4 won't understand, so it would be very dangerous to let 1.4 open a 1.5 file. You can move files between the Mac and Windows versions if you use the 1.5 beta on the Mac.
@Minh - The installer removes the latest version for you before installing the new one, so you will be fine just running the installer. If you uninstalled it yourself first you would just be saving the installer some work :P

Hiya NFG,
This is a known issue that is already with the developers. The problem occurs when you use Mitre Joins and export to SVG. However we are looking to improve it in the future!
Thanks!
-
We've seen a couple of times the location for the program window get incorrectly saved (it tries to place the program window somewhere that isn't visible basically), I reckon you've encountered this.
Can you remember anything specific you were doing the last time you used the application? Also do you have more than one monitor (or more specifically, did you have one the last time you used the app?)
If you hold down CTRL while running up the program and tick all the boxes it will do a reset, and should solve the issue for you. But if you can give us any information to help reproduce it that would be great.
Thanks

Hi biscuit,
I've just looked into that and can see what you mean. I set tracking to be 25% on the text style and the character tab displays it as 25000%, slight difference there :p.
I'll get that logged, thanks for the report.
-
I can reproduce this now, I just had to change my program language to Spanish (although it seems to be reproduced on any non English Language).
I'll get this logged for the developers to look into!
Thanks for reporting it

I believe this is due to the way we changed how backgrounds export, in Designer (1.4.2) we always export transparent background, but you'll now need to set the document to have a transparent background if you want this exported.
If you tick Document > Transparent Background and then export does it export as intended?
-
Hi Sharkey,
Sorry i'm a tad confused about which tool you are using, are you using a brush tool to achieve this (you mention setting the flow rate?).
It depends on the type of colouring you are doing, but I personally would just make a selection with the freehand selection tool on a new layer, add a colour to it and change the opacity of that layer.
Whilst looking into this I did notice a slight oddity with setting the opacity via the colour tab and applying that colour to a pixel layer that already contains pixel information, which I have logged, so it could be you were encountering that.

Hi Safoster,
I've just exported a png and tiff with transparency, can you let me know what settings you are using to export to if the transparency is being stripped from the export?
Thanks

Hiya Val,
I haven't seen this before, so the only way you can use sliders is by manually entering values, you can't use the mouse to slide them at all and have the changes reflected?
Can you try doing a reset of the program by holding down CTRL while launching it and letting me know if you get the same behaviour?
Thanks
-
Hmm, i'm struggling to reproduce the last issue still. What Mac OS are you on?

Holding CTRL+click on an object duplicates it

Are you moving your mouse fairly quickly after ctrl clicking, or just keeping it completely still? I'm wondering if there is a bit of lag and it is treating a click, 1s~ delay, move, as a drag.
Is there any chance of creating a very quick video of the bug in action?
