My Brush is Acting Weird
GarryP replied to dwr7eleven's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Welcome to the forums @dwr7eleven It looks like you have got Wet Edges set to ON in the Context Toolbar. You can’t see that setting on your screenshot as it’s off the right end of the Context Toolbar. Press the ‘double-right-arrow-head’ button at the right-hand side of the Context Toolbar and you’ll see it. -

Designer 2 V2.4.0.023 Beta - line weight problem
GarryP replied to MWOO's topic in Other New Bugs and Issues in the Betas
I don’t have a solution to this but I can see that the Fill well in the Swatches Panel looks wrong – it’s square rather than circular – so that makes me think that maybe the application itself has been ‘compromised’ in some way. An application reset/re-install may be needed, unless anyone has better ideas. Note: The 2.4 beta is now the commercial release you should probably have updated the application by now and stopped using the beta (unless you are using the beta for some specific reason). -
I’m pretty sure that 48 is the maximum. If you need more than 48 column guides I would suggest using the grid instead, or maybe creating layers that can be snapped to. (You might need to do some manual mathematics to get the numbers right but that shouldn’t be too difficult.) Just out of curiosity, why do you need more than 48 column guides?

GarryP reacted to a post in a topic: Keyboard shortcuts for Geometry always create 'compound'
-
Clicking the Toolbar Add button gets me a Curve, while Alt-clicking the same button gets me a Compound, both of which I would expect. I just changed my “Designer/Layer/Geometry → Add” shortcut to Ctrl+* (I don't have a 'normal' keypad on my laptop) and, strangely: when I used that shortcut it created a Compound for me too, which is interesting, but; when I selected the same functionality via the Layer menu (with the same shortcut listed) I got a Curve. I don’t know what’s going on here, sorry. Maybe someone else knows. (This kinda rings a bell from something years ago.)
-
This method is very specific only to curve layers which all share the same properties (same fill, stroke, etc.) It might be worth making the title of this thread very specific to, hopefully, lessen the number of people being ‘fooled’ into thinking that it can be used for all types of layers, or even all curve layers in general. Maybe something like: “Workaround to rename multiple curve layers with the same properties to the same name” It might also be worth adding some kind of ‘disclaimer’ at the top of the post to make it clear that it won’t work with everything. Otherwise I can see people finding this, not reading it properly, and getting themselves into trouble (whereupon they will know exactly who to complain to, namely you, as the OP).

File naming when exporting art boards
GarryP replied to Shoosty's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
You’re welcome. Under certain conditions, and with the right set-up, the Export Persona can be a big time-saver. -
Welcome to the forums @Ranzor These threads ( found by a search for right click icon dock ) might be of some interest: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/192174-why-does-the-list-of-recently-opened-files-in-dock-popup-get-emptied-when-app-is-quit-v2-mac-apps/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/197331-macos-please-do-not-clear-recents-from-the-dock-popup-when-the-v2-apps-quit/ Basically, as far as I can tell, it’s currently expected behaviour with V2.

Accidentally hit the tab key
GarryP replied to LeaS's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You’re welcome. It’s very easy to accidentally hit the Tab key and then, if you’re not expecting it, wonder what the heck has just happened (it happened to me within a month of me starting with the software). There have been requests that the shortcut is removed by default (to prevent accidental use), or that an optional message of some kind could be shown to tell the user what has happened and what to do about it, but nothing has come of them. -
Can you show us what your Keyboard Shortcuts in the Settings dialog looks like with those two shortcuts visible in it? (I’ve attached an example from my set-up where I have no shortcuts for those functions.) What happens when you try to use the same Geometry functions from the Toolbar? What happens when you delete the shortcut and re-create it?
