[SVG clipPath ignored]

Thanks for making sure this got reported, the issue is already logged with us and should hopefully be fixed in a future version.

[Minor display problem with minimised paragraph and character panels]

Hi Jonopen,

 

I find i get the clipping without having to restart the app, if i minimize the tabs they don't minimize correctly.

 

Thanks for reporting this, i've got it logged :)

[Designer crashing on startup after restart/re-install]

It's good to know it hasn't stopped you using the app, but it's worth noting that app still handled an exception on run-up so you might encounter other issues whilst using the app.

 

I'll ask a developer to look at the crash report you sent, hopefully they should be able to debug why this is happening, and get back to you when we have more info

[ADwin crashes when using an Artboard as symbol]

Thanks for reporting this, it's a good spot.

 

I'll get this logged for a developer to look into.

 

Cheers.

[[1.5.0.9] GUI - Inputfield + Dropdown]

Thanks for reporting this, i've logged it for the developers to look into :)

[Designer crashing on startup after restart/re-install]

Sorry I just meant to click "Yes" on the crash report dialog you screenshotted, aslong as it has been sent the developers can track it with the ref number and investigate.

[Designer crashing on startup after restart/re-install]

If you hold CTRL whilst running the program up you can perform a reset, so let us know if that helps.

 

Also be sure to send that crash report off, we can get it looked at from our end and hopefully get some insight into what could be causing this.

[Designer crashes when trying to save to disconnected drive]

Hiya Martin,

 

Thanks for reporting this, i've just reproduced it and got it logged for the developers to look into :).

[Problem with tab stop]

Thanks for sending that, i've reproduced it and will get it logged for the developers to look into :)

[Document set-up]

Hi dickon,

 

Thanks for taking time to report this, the issue is already logged with us. It had a potential fix in this build but that unfortunately failed so the issue has been re-opened.

[Problem with tab stop]

Hi dominik,

 

If you'd like to PM a dropbox link then i'll have a look into this or you :).

 

Thanks

[Affinity Designer Public Beta - 1.5.0.9 (Windows)]

Thanks Adi,

 

I've confirmed that and re-opened the issue to be looked at.

[Bug - Crashing when adding darker or lighter tones with no color selected]

Ah that's great, thanks!

 

The whole menu item should be disabled if no swatch is selected, quite a few different items will cause a crash. Good spot.

 

I've logged it for the developers to look into :)

[Bug - Crashing when adding darker or lighter tones with no color selected]

Hi Wiredframe,

 

Would you be able to provide me with a quick recipe to follow (similar to the steps you took when you got the crash) so I can try and reproduce the crash?

 

Thanks

[import text an character problem]

Thanks for reporting this, there are a couple of existing text copy/paste issues in 1.5.0.8, so I believe this is already reported, but have logged a new issue to be sure.

 

You can use alt key codes to insert special characters, this site might be of use to you. ALT+167 will get you the degree symbol.

 

Thanks

[Problems with the pen]

Hi Michail,

 

Thanks for reporting both of these issues, i've reproduced them and got them both logged.

[Distribute not working.]

Hi Craig,

 

The wording could have been better, but the issue that was fixed was when un-ticking auto distibute and entering in a number of px it wasn't distributing them evenly by that amount.

 

There is still an issue with the initial distribute horizontally/veritcally, which isn't spacing them correctly. I've got this logged so thanks for making sure it was brought to our attention :).

[Update causes Unhandled Exception]

Hiya ntrlpr,

 

Thanks for ensuring it got reported, we caught it quite early and got it fixed for 1.5.0.7, which now shouldn't crash when it prompts you for the next update.

[Error Importing PDF files created on AD]

Hi Ruibarto,

 

Sorry I was wrong in my last reply, the issue I mentioned is actually still in 1.5.0.7. Can you check this in 1.5.0.8 when it is available? It should be in a couple of days (assuming nothing goes wrong!)

 

I find if I export from the afdesign the pdf opens fine once, but any subsequent attempts will crash. If you do a CTRL runup of the program (hold down CTRL whilst running it) and tick all the boxes to clear all user settings and then open the pdf, does it still crash?

[Crashing and Color Problems]

Thanks for that!

 

I believe the colour shift issue is already logged with us, if you copy the object and do File > Create New from clipboard does the newly created document contain the tonal shift?

 

You mentioned the crash happens when you copy from one project to another, is the project you sent the one that you copy from or to, is it any project specifically that this crashes with or do you just copy to any new project and sometimes experience crashes? Have the crash reports been sent?

 

Thanks!

[Blur and SVG file format]

Hi Martin,

 

The developers have looked into this, it is part of the svg spec that a blur can only be 10% larger than the objects size, so even a shadow would only be able to go up to 10% of the objects size without getting clipped.

 

Unfortunately this is something that should be kept in mind when designing for svg export (unless you are ok with rasterising). I think Inkscape shows you this when designing in the app.

[EPS export: missing layer overlay effects]

I just replicated a similar type of drawing in AI and got a warning on export about the image requiring flattening. AI is quite tricky and can embed AI data inside an EPS file, so it will import the exported EPS as if it hasn't rasterised it.

 

A developer has discussed this previously in this thread.

[Error Importing PDF files created on AD]

MikeW I believe that issue is already logged, CorelDraw doesn't seem to like our PDFs so it should be being looked into.

 

I think you guys might be correct with this being a font replacement issue, I can actually export/import from that afdesign file fine, I can also import your exported PDF that you attached fine.

 

We had an issue covering exactly this fixed for this build (we found only some were getting it and it was dependant on what fonts you had installed), so do you mind just confirming for me that you are on 1.5.0.7?

[EPS export: missing layer overlay effects]

Thanks for attaching them.

 

The only way I can reproduce this is if I set is to not rasterise anything when exporting, did you also change that option? EPS will struggle to cope with those effects without rasterising.

[Blur and SVG file format]

Thanks for this,

 

I initially thought it was because the filter effects were applied to groups that contain alot of your objects, but I get it when I apply the blur to them directly.

 

I've logged this for the developers to look into, thanks for reporting it.

 

Besides rasterising I can't really think of a good workaround for you for now, i'll let you know if we come up with one!
