Hi @AlainP, Did this happen once or can you trigger it again by performing a specific action like quitting or maybe switching Personas? I’ve been working in Tahoe since the first beta (also running Beta 3 currently) and haven’t encountered issues closing the app (or saving files) yet.

Hi @Stews-Art, Welcome to Affinity Forums In the latest build (2.6.3), the View Tool (hand icon) is grouped with the Zoom Tool by default, which is located at the very bottom of the tools toolbar. If you prefer, you can customize the toolbar and place the View Tool (hand icon) wherever you like by going to menu View > Customize Tools…

Hi @BruceFerjulian, We’re still waiting for a fix for this. I’m sorry, but there isn’t much else I can do beyond updating the report and flagging it.

Hi @BruceFerjulian, Thanks for your report. This issue affects all brush-based tools and has already been logged with the development team. I’ve updated the report and bumped it to bring it back to the developers’ attention.

@big smile, Not yet. I installed the OneDrive app and uploaded all the files via the browser to let it sync the folders. I then opened the Publisher file, and as long as the image links point to the correct locations, the images have been loading correctly for me (no blurring). I’ve now installed OneDrive on a second system and have been working on the files back and forth to check whether the syncing eventually causes any interference and prevents the files from fully render properly.

Hi @MickM, Affinity doesn’t work the way you’re expecting. You can’t create a group from objects that belong to different layers and keep their original layer reference/location. As soon as you group them, the group is placed inside one of the layers (usually the bottom-most one, if I remember correctly) and becomes part of that layer.

Hi @Art51, Thanks for the file and the detailed steps. I’ve been able to replicate the issue here. It has been logged for further investigation.

Hi @Alex_M, No, it's not possible to disable them.

Hi @Art51, Could you try creating a simplified version of the file that still shows the issue please? Copy the pixel layer into a new document, repeat the duplicate and merge steps, and see if it still hangs. If it does, please share that simplified file with us. If it doesn’t, try duplicating the original file, removing as many unnecessary groups as possible, and testing again. If the issue persists in that version, please provide us the file so we can replicate and log the issue. Thanks for your feedback.

Report updated/bumped again. Thanks for your feedback @elevencore.

There’s no need to change the origin point of the path. The Point Transform Tool is aware of geometry nodes. Make sure to place the cursor over the node you want to use as a (place) reference point, click (without dragging yet), then press Control (to move the shape) and Command (to duplicate the shape while preserving snapping), and drag the node over the end node of that path. See the clip below for reference. transform_point_tool.mp4

Uncheck Protect Alpha.

You're welcome

Hi @Robsen, Welcome to Affinity Forums In your first screenshot, toolbar on the left, 9th tool in the second row. It's the fourth tool of that group.

Hi @markw, No issues here as far as I'm aware. Make sure the Blend Mode for the brush is set to Normal in the context toolbar (for the Brush Tool). If that's not the issue can you post a screenshot of the Pixel Persona with the Brush Tool selected and the Layers panel visible (with the mask layer selected)? Thank you.
