Thanks for the new Beta Installation was working witout any Problems and the new Document --> New Dialog looks very well The transforming issue that i reported is not fixed but i think the time from reporting to the new beta was to small. So i wait and hope that it will be fixed in the next beta. Thank you for your work

Yes, there you are right. Stability, speed and reliability are not a surprise. Thats the goal of devlopers and the dev-team of affinity is working very good. With "let us be surprised....." i meaned ohter things like extensions, additions and what the future brings. I´m looking forward to this

Because of this i think that the new Betas will have the new codebase which publisher is using. Which new codesbase? I had read in a thread that a user asked why publisher starts up much faster than photo and designer and the answer was that publisher uses a new codebase and photo and designer will get this too in 1.7. So i´m assuming that photo and designer will have it in one of the next betas, maybe already in the next Beta. And then the locking to new threads of the Beta Forums makes sense because there will be no errors from the old codebase and questions or reports for this are not longer needed and unnecessary. But let us be surprised what´s coming Nice weekend to you all

No new Designer and Photo Beta in September? That´s ok. I think you are to busy with Publisher I guess the next Betas of Photo an Designer are 1.7.xxx? Many greetings Uwe

Hi @all I think i found a bug in publisher while transforming and duplicating a layer and it looks like the transformation was miscalculated. There are 2 Videos. The first shows how Designer works (that shows what it should be like) and for comparsion the second Video shows the same steps in Publisher with the wrong calculation. it seems that the rotating at the end of the video, where the layers with the transformation are duplicated, will be wrong calculated. The Steps in Designer: Designer.mp4 Same Steps in Publisher. Look at the difference in transforming please. Publisher.mp4 And in the Publisher Video you also can see two issues i reported to you. - Snapping of the rotaion centre to Guidelines doesn´t work (same snapping settings as in designer) - Roation Centre and ohter guides will be hidden if moving guidelines. This is very impractical. Many greetings Uwe

Thanks for the new Beta. Installation was working well. More in the next days when i have time for testing

Great work. It looks very realistic. SUPER

Thanks Downloading now and then testing begins.

Yes, such a tool would be great, but you can get the same result in another way. Use the tools divide and combine. With the dividing tool you can overlappng shapes divide in single elements and with the combine tool you combine selectet elements to one element. It´s not the same as the shape builder tool from the other prgramm, but it´s similar to this. The tools you find here: Perhaps one day we will get a shape builder tool

Hi @Chris_K Thanks for your answer and the explaining. I let myself be surprised how it works if it is finished

For example i create one horizontal and one vertical Guideline and then i want to move the rotation centre point where the lines are crossing, it don´t snaps to the lines. In Photo and Designer this works and if it snaps, the lines changes their color. The horizontal line turns red, the vertical line green. Perhaps a faeture which is not build in this time or a bug? P.s. It´s not only where the lines are crossing, snapping doesn´t work, no matter where on the Guideline.

I found a little, but terrible bug. For example i create a circle. In the top Menu i klick on Show Rotation Centre. So far so good, but if i need Guidelines, the point of Rotaion Centre will be hidden if i move the Guidelines. I think that it is a bug because in Photo and Designer Rotation Centre will be not hidden if i move Guidelines.

Ok. I post it in a new thread this evening when i'm back at home. Thanks for your hint.

Thanks for the new Beta Installation was working well without any Problems. Will start testing in the evening. I found a little, but terrible thing. For example i create a circle. In the top Menu i klick on Show Rotation Centre. So far so good, but if i need Guidelines, the point of Rotaion Centre will be hidden if i move the Guidelines. I think that it is a bug because in Photo and Designer Rotation Centre will be not hidden if i move Guidelines. And what i found too is that the Rotation Centre, if i move it, snaps to the horizontal Guideline, but not to the vertical Guideline.

Ok. Then i hope that it will be fixed soon because this feature is very useful and helpful With this function i found another bug and perhaps you can send it also to the developers. Best Regards Uwe
