[Note tool]

I would like you to implement Note tool like Photoshop to Affinity that can place sticky notes on the document.
It's useful for reviewing document/feedback or explaining content to another designer.

[Suggestions for Japanese UI]

Translation suggestion for the Flatten(Document>Flatten)

画像の統合 or 統合 is better than フラット化.
Adobe translate Flatten Image to 画像の統合.

[Applying the limit zoom to 100% rule to the image after cropping/resizing also]

I would like you to apply the new option "Limit initial zoom to a maximum of 100%" to the image after cropping/resizing also.

 

[xlsx format can't be pasted]

Re-saving the xlsx in LibreOffice could solve the problem like in this topic.
Apparently both contain Japanese text.
 

 

[booklet - combine first and last page]

Usually I create a separate file for the cover.

[Affinity version 2.x]

Hasn't been announced yet.
Will be at least 2 years from now. may be more.

[Affinity Designer Crashes upon New file or open file]

Also the Studio Driver could be a solution instead of the Gaming Driver.

[Affinity Designer Crashes upon New file or open file]

Do you know when you updated the GPU driver?
Sometimes the latest driver could be cause of the problem.

Recent AMD driver had compatibility problem with Affinity and solution was to install a little older driver.

[Affinity Designer Crashes upon New file or open file]

Try 1.9.4 beta. this will be installed separately from the stable release version.

Sure, Though on a fairly recent machine with 64GB of ram?

 

It's not the matter of capacity/computing power.
It's a software compatibility problem.

It often happens on Windows, but it can happens on Mac as well.

What is meant by "Text Panel" for this one? I'm not aware of any panels with that specific name.

Might be Text Styles panel?

 

[Blue screen in publisher]

Try to turn off Metal Computing in Preferences>Performance

[Switching tools also with studio presets]

Would be nice if I could switch not only studio panels but tools also with studio presets.

[How can I show the thumbnails for these psd's on my windows folder?]

34 minutes ago, walt.farrell said:

Windows will show the information in that File Explorer window that you've asked it to show. The View tab is where you would specify it. Try any of the "... icons" options.

 

It looks like it's already shown as "Large icons."
I have Photoshop so not sure if Windows itself or Affinity can handle psd thumbnail.
The thumbnail supposed to be shown without Photoshop?

[Why not more *AI* technology?]

Could be good but it's not easy task.
Also Affinity still lacks basic features such as non-destructive(vector based) warping so they need to be implemented before A.I. thing...

[Wrong caption in a tutorial video]

This video has wrong caption in Japanese.
https://affinity.serif.com/ja-jp/tutorials/designer/desktop/video/301822426/

The caption seems to be the one from this.

[Export Time-lapse not launched with 1.9 on iPad?]

Did the timelapse come back yet?
I can not see it in 1.9.2/1.9.3/1.9.4 on both Mac/Windows.
Or am I missing something?

[Issue(s) on Asian line breaking rules]

On 5/6/2020 at 11:18 PM, ashf said:

THIS ONE IS CRITICAL:

Some of symbols and following symbols should break up.
Did you set no-break rules for them?

e.g.
今日は天気ですね。「おはようございます」

it seems that "。" and "「" are always together side by side without breaking up.
Also it seems that it's applied to these symbols that should break up with following symbols.
!"):;>?]}’”〉》」』】〕〟！），．？］｝｡｣､･

 

 

This still exists in 1.9.4 beta.

[Japanese IME inline input problem]

Still the same in 1.9.4 beta.

[Affinity Publisher Customer Beta - 1.9.4.1076]

Why the  post date is May 7...?

That is all fine and dandy but I would like to know why the program just broke on my randomly when I didn't change anything

Like this virsion was working just fine.

I never had such situation before.
Not sure if it's specific to your environment.

[Crash Crash Crash]

Try 1.9.4 beta also see if it works.

 

[Crash Crash Crash]

Resetting Affinity to the default setting(ctrl start) might fix the problem.
if it's caused by broken configuration file.

Try to remove the actual files also

[Pasting SVG from Adobe XD]

6 minutes ago, Gabe said:

Something must be wrong with the data they put on the clipboard. If you try and paste that back into Photoshop, or Inkscape, you will still get a bitmap instead of the SVG. Not much we can do in this instance if they can't even handle copy/paste between their own apps...

Pasting to Illustrator or Office works though...
