*bump* Opening the pulldown behind the cog wheel now is at normal speed, but after selecting 1:1 I still need an extra click to close the pulldown menu again. Beta 2.4.0 (2301)

Ok, that makes sense.

Not fixed for me on Mac with 2.3.0.2157: – I have Affinity Photo open, and a picture open in it – I close AP with the red dot in the top left corner (no x on hover visible in the red dot) – I drag a second picture in the AP icon in my Dock -> AP opens, with the second picture open = improvement to earlier versions. But: I only see the second picture, not two tabs = the first picture is not visible for me

> Good catch 🙂

> Switch to Window -> Float Wiew to Window Thank you - good to know this as a workaround. Edit: that's not working for me, anyway – all the tools are missing.

I've now updated the productive Affinity Photo to 2.2.1 The difference I still see in Beta: 1) I click on the red dot in the top left corner (same as in production - the hover state has now also disappered in prod.) 2) Affinity Photo is minimized (same as in production) 3) Dragging a photo on the icon of the program in the Dok does not un-minimize the program in Beta (but still correctly does in prod.) 4) Also clicking on the icon of the program in the Dok un-minimizes it in prod, but not in Beta. The problem does not exist in Beta if I use the yellow button, not the red one: when I then drag another picture on the icon, the program un-minimizes as expected.

But clicking on that left icon doesn't un-minimize the program. > To close the program you would use the Menu, and choose Quit, wouldn't you? Yes, but: > The Red button would only close the document, not the application No (but that's not new) - to close the document but keep the application open, I use cmd&w.

Beta is not closed, but it doesn't show up o the right side of the Dok.

> I then click on the red dot in the left top corner, the program disappears > after that, I drag another image from the desktop onto the Affinity Photo icon > nothing happens This works as expected in the productive version of Photo 1.2.1 (But, thinking about it, there is no difference between the red and the yellow button: both minimize the program without quitting it.) --- > Affinity Photo Beta 2.3.0.2096 is closed > I drag an image from the desktop onto the Affinity Photo icon, this opens the program correctly But takes considerably more time than the productive version 1.2.1. I don't really mind that, though.

(On the other hand, a problem with cropping is fixed now – which I'm glad for, because I didn't know how to describe it.)

Hi Not completely sure if this has only started with 2.3.0.2096, but I think so. MacBookPro, restarted the laptop. Steps: – Affinity Photo is closed – I drag an image from the desktop onto the Affinity Photo icon, this opens the program correctly – I then click on the red dot in the left top corner *, the program disappears – after that, I drag another image from the desktop onto the Affinity Photo icon => nothing happens, and I don't know where I can find the open program – I have to quit it (via the Dock at the bottom of the screen) to be able to then open it again. --- * I only see red / yellow / green, also when I hover over them – red should have an x inside, yellow a - and green the icon for "full screen" (this is how it is in the non beta version) - I only see that while clicking on them.

Fixed for me with the latest update 2.2.0 (1971)

Must be the same, yes. For me it _looks_ like it only opens one picture, but that is because the tabs are missing. When I close one picture, the next one is open "behind" it.

[ Just to add: you were correct, Walt: it can be disabled via Preferences https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/14707-let-me-turn-off-canvas-rotation/#comment-67038 ]

Thank you, Walt. This was more meant as a PS for Chris – if it bothers me enough I'll start a separate thread about it.

> What action did you take zooming in (with two fingers on trackpad)

Not sure if this is related: I have now in the Beta the problem again that instead of zooming in, the photo rotates (Macbook pro with trackpad), and ctrl&z does not undo it. I hadn't reported this, but it's been months since that last happened.

Great, thank you

Thank you, Chris. Let me know if you need a more detailed description.

Hi I was happy that had been fixed. Unfortunately it's back in the latest beta.

But it's not working as it should yet for Fernando Ribeiro, if I read the posts correctly.

2 of 3 pictures opened fine, the third one crashes the Photo Beta. File is opening fine in release build. MacBook Pro. Can upload the whole crash report if it helps. Happened a few minutes ago, also happening with other pictures now. Edit: restarting the Mac did not help. Gets as far as stating "loading 1 document", then quits. Also crashes (as described by others) when I just want to open it without importing a photo.

Me too 😜

Thank you for the explanation of the time lag, Chris. Could you try and get the extra click eliminated that was introduced in January 2019? Thanks a lot : )
