From over 200 videos down to 64!? That sucks...
BTW, you can only access the old videos if you downloaded them prior to the now, truncated video library...

Bump, eventually found some Wi-fi to download, keyboard shortcuts still not available in 1.7.0.9.

I have two visible layers at this time. The top layer is a bird and the lower level is background. Somehow, a bit of the lower level is on top of the bird. How is this possible?
Looking at the marching ants selection box for the Heron, I would say you have over refined your selection covering too much of the wings and body which has made them transparent. Try doing the bird selection again but next time when you refine the edges use a smaller brush size zoomed in on the edges so that you don’t make the body transparent.

@Paul Mudditt Paul is it only the keys outlined in red that work the Shortcuts?
Yes Dave they are the ones that appear to work with cmd+ when I tested.

It is great that the keyboard shortcuts have been added to AP for those of us who use a keyboard with the iPad, but it would be nice if these could be added to AD as well for consistency but especially for cmd+j power duplicate functionality. Maybe even more important going forward with rumours of mouse support coming to IOS13.
-
It is great that you can enter exact rotation values with the new external rotation point, just a pity that power duplicate does not work for this option.

In case it matters, using the Apple Pencil to use the Y-axis control to move the object up, instead of finger sometimes. This can result in moving the object, along with a transparent duplicate of the object appearing say, 30-50 pixels below the real one. This transparent object moves along with the real one. When done moving the real object and letting go of the control, the transparent object disappears.
Think I’ve seen this too, closing then reopening the design fixes it. The object and its bounding box get disassociated?

The truth of this is that we have changed our minds about what should show / when we should show the loupe numerous times, finally decided, then forgot to implement what we decided everywhere.
In this situation, the loupe should show when a finger is being used to select a source, but not when using the pencil to actually clone.
Thanks,

In my day job, we have had one of those 2 hour meetings to thrash out how a device feature should work as well, three months later we’re like, how was that supposed to work again

The beta 1.7.0.4 has now been removed from testflight, as it was not the latest codebase and was causing confusion like this.
The developer is building the non-beta builds, so parallel testing is not an option, sorry.
If you are willing to install Affinity Designer iPad 1.7.0.7 over your iPad store 1.6.4 then, that is the one to be testing. Thank you.
Thanks Patrick, will do.

Confirmed here, Paul.
Thanks Alfred, it’s really difficult to explain to a newbie how to get out of that blind alley too and why it happens.

Hi Andy, the keyboard shortcuts are great, but any chance of adding shift selection support for layers in the layer studio, you tap first, press shift select last?

Ah, but for this method you'd first have to make the adjustment and then see how it looks deselected, correct? Meaning, as distinct from the photoshop method whereby you can preview the adjustment live while not seeing the marching ants at the same time.
Alternatively you can duplicate your selection into a new layer, deselect the marching ants and apply adjustments to just the new layer, making sure it’s above the original layer of course or nested within the new layer. You can also convert that layer back into a matching ants selection using my muds macros, search this site. In V1.7 the convert layer to selection macro is no longer required as it is now available as a selection command.

Check out the attached video.
How am I supposed to save files anywhere when the popover doesn't give me the option?
Edit: The Document -> Export menu item did let me export a PDF, but my point still stands. As far as I can tell, there's no way to confirm a folder selection.
It is non intuitive but an IOS issue. Do not browse into the folder you want to export your slices to. Browse to below the folder, press select then choose folder then press open.

It didn’t even occur to me to try to uninstall the TestFlight version of the app beforehand! All I wanted was to get 1.6.4.45 installed again, so I headed straight for the list of ‘not currently installed apps’ in the App Store.
Too late Zebedee again. Ha every thing seems fine apart from one test drawing that won’t open in the App Store V1.6 version. No worries a little bit of excitement keeps us interested

C'mon Paul, be honest, just how old is that photo, really???

Have a great holiday.
That photo is from 2017 at my 40 year award ceremony at Lumley Castle in County Durham.

Better that the hyperlink opened in safari externally rather than in app browser.
Embedded afphoto documents
in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on iPad threads
Posted
Is this a new feature in V1.7, or has it always been possible on the iPad. Just watched James video https://youtu.be/yCEW6M0oElY and I was utterly surprised to see that the embedding of an afphoto document and double tap to open worked on the iPad version as well. Feeling slightly embarrassed if this has been available for ages and I didn’t know?
