Welcome to the Affinity forums.

tutorials ??????
First, you should be able to simply Pause the tutorial, switch to Affinity Photo, then come back right where you were. I'm not sure why that isn't working for you.
Serif does not provide one for V2. They had a Workbook (not a manual) for V1, but it is no longer available from Serif though you might find copies somewhere on the web.
There are several books for Photo and Photo 2 on Amazon, if you want to search there. I haven't used any of them.
There's a PDF of a manual for V1 available here in the forums: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/34556-affinity-photo-pdf-manual-for-your-enjoyment/ (which I haven't tried). It's for V1, but many functions are the same, so depending on what you need it might work for you.

It certainly does seem to be a bit wider than the other panels I normally have grouped with it. I never noticed that before.
I'm not sure I would consider it a bug, but I guess we'll see what Serif has to say

Best suggestion for up grade path from V1 suite to V2 should I go through Affinity site or Apple app store for the best deal? I own all three programs in V1. Purchased Publisher direct the other two at App store.
I know that the 25% Upgrade Discount is available via the Affinity Store, at https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/store/upgrade-offer/
I'm not sure it's available if you go through the Mac App Store, or exactly how that would work, so I would purchase through the Affinity Store to be sure

I'm facing this issue now. Today is September 19th 2024, that's seven year later after the 1st post of Sharkey.
I have open 17 images on Affinity Photo.
I cropped them all to get the square shape on all of them ...
But now I can not export all of them in 2 or 3 clicks? It is really strange.
Welcome to the Affinity forums.
Correct, if they are open in separate editing tabs you will need to Export them one at a time.

can't use Windows spell checking because it doesn't offer hyphenation.
I wasn't aware that Windows offers spell-checking at all, Mike. So thanks for mentioning it. But having done some research, I see that while Windows Settings does have some Spelling-related settings, they don't seem to have any effect on my system, which may explain why I never realized it offered them.
Edit: Well, I just found one setting that seems to have an effect, the one to suggest words while typing. That one shows suggestions as I type in Firefox (e.g., when posting here) and it is very annoying in my opinion. So I turned that one back off. Auto-correct does not seem to work, though.

Not sure how you can see what's going on with a video capture when it doesn't record what happens on the monitor.
My problem with your earlier video is that everything in the room goes wonky (but not "black"), not just the content of the monitor, making it impossible to see what the monitor was doing. (At least, that's my interpretation of what I see. Perhaps, if video capture isn't showing it, what you need is a camera-shot video with more context around (outside) the monitor?)

Does anybody know in which version this issue will be fixed? I just tried out 2.5.5 and font matching still seems to be broken...
Serif generally does not tell us when something will be fixed. At this point we can hope that the 2.6.0 Beta, when it is released (early October?), might have a fix for it as that is the next likely release to include bug fixes (except possibly for a 2.5.6 release or Beta to fix macOS issues caused by Sequoia).
When either of the two open problems discussed in this topic are fixed, the Affinity Info Bot will post here to give details,

is it possible to import an entire .xml table this way?
As far as I know, no.
1 hour ago, lesz3u said:is there a way to automatically size objects to fit the available space?
You could probably put images into a Picture Frame, and set the Picture Frame to adjust the image size using the Frame Properties. Perhaps that would provide what you need?

This is a known issue, logged as AF-3857, Tomas.
Apple changed the interfaces that applications must implement when running on Sequoia, and Serif will need to provide this support in a future release or update. I see that a Moderator has already tagged your topic with this bug tracking information, so when a fix is available the Affinity Info Bot will post here with details of how you can get it.

But BOTH mouse keys is not RMB - it's BOTH.
Drag is "left mouse and move".
Therefore, Drag + RMB is "left mouse and move and right mouse".
And yes, that can be a problem with a pen. It's also impossible on many trackpads.
Serif changed this combination for one function on Windows, as I recall, but not for all.

What does the Windows Device Manager show?
Also, from a command prompt try the dxdiag command. It has an option to save all the output as a .txt file that you could share with us.

Queries are not supported by the Data Merge process. It makes use of the entire XLSX or CSV file, so I'm afraid you will need to massage it manually and create separate output files first.

Yes, it means that.
3 hours ago, Chevdor said:quite some Data Merge sources
You could always save your CSV exports into the same output file name, then you'd have only the one Data Merge source to worry about which might help in the process.

I'm not sure why you've posted this in the Beta forum, as there is no active beta currently. Even if you're using the beta release, the retail is at the same level, so reporting it in the standard Bugs forum would get more attention,
But I think this is another manifestation of an already logged issue: AF-3857

Welcome to the Affinity forums.
When this happens, what kind of files are you opening, and how were you opening them? (From the File menu, by double-clicking in File Explorer, by using "Open with" from File Explorer, some other way?
Where are the files located?

Indeed I have two video cards one integrated AMD Radeon 780M and the dedicated GeForce RTX 4070.
But your system seems to be reporting two 780M cards (with different identifications), which is what I find odd.
Can you explain a bit more about "there is something strange with the video card after all"?

did you guys fix this because it's really a game breaking bug.
Which problem are you asking about? You've discussed at least two in this topic?
(And the Serif team has not been involved in this discussion yet; so far it's just between us users.)

If you have previous system backups, you can probably go back to one of them and recover the files from before you got Eagle involved. But if you pointed it to those internal directories maintained by Affinity, and it modified them, I suppose that could explain what happened.
I don't use Eagle so I can't be sure what it does.

Welcome to the Affinity forums.
How big is the Publisher file you're trying to export, and what kind of data does it contain? Just text? Text and images? Any Linked files?
Does the problem happen with one specific file, or with other (perhaps simpler) Publisher files, too?

Welcome to the Affinity forums.
How are you getting the screenshot into Photo to edit it?
Can you give us a screenshot of your complete application window so we can see the issue, with the Layers panel and Color panel visible?

was hoping for a solution to this. Guess I gotta just export the page the old fashioned way.
I'm a bit confused about what you're trying to do. Can you provide more details, and perhaps some screenshots?
Are you wanting a single page, or multiple pages?

Welcome to the Affinity forums, @JasonBox.
Did you notice this problem before you upgraded to macOS Sequoia?

Or, don't have anything selected in the Layers panel when you create the new object.
