Hi Folks, A friend of mine has bought a Windows laptop with a touchscreen and asks if Designer for Windows is suitable for it and usable with the touchscreen. I would appreciate some info. This is the Laptop in question: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/lenovo+ideapad+flex+5+81x3007xge+670426/eqsqid/a9562a81-a390-4a9a-8ddf-7210c7939c48 Greetings Uwe

Yes, now, that you say it.... i see it too 😂 I did not notice it at all... BTW... with Designer and Publisher Beta it´s the same with this text wrapping.

My two Brush sets are downloaded and now i see this in the Screenshot below and i believe this is ok.

Thanks for this new Beta. Installation went without Problems and the App runs fast and stable so far.

I thought so 😉

@Jowday I like the Software, no Question, and i like it t work with it but the result of divide is more a nightmare than a dream. Please try it with more than one overlapping Object. In my example there are 6 Circles which are overlapping at different Points and then have a look to top left how many Objects there are after divide. If i count right, there have to be 34 Objects, not more. That is what i mean. If there are more overlapping Objects, this operation goes crazy. I and much other Users often posted Videos and images for example and nothing happens.

@Equalizer I mean the time from clicking the Button "Develop" in Develop Persona till open/transfer the RAW after editing in Photo Persona. In earlier Versions without hardware accerleration this time was on my system ~17-18 seconds and now it needs only ~2-3 seconds. This is, in my opinion, a very big improvement. My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and my Graphic Card is a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB with Studio Driver.

Tested the new Beta with enabled hardware accerleration and RAW Development works so fast as never before. From ~17-18 seconds to ~2-3 seconds.... Wohooooo. My PC can fly 😂 Well done guys 👍

Hi all, I know, it is nervy for you but what happens in the case of Boolean Operations Divide? Since years this issue is standing and nothing happens in this case. Please understand me right, i like the software, i like it very much to work with it and i like the new additions with hardware accelaration and the other improvments but in my opinion it is a NoGo for such a software that it needs for so long to improve or to fix this function which every graphic worker needs to create own shapes. And it can not be a solution to say "use an other software for this". I have read this in other threads. An ohter thread in Mac Beta Forum, to see here: is standig since 1. October without an answer. Is this issue be ignored in the meantime or is there a fix in the near future?

It works very well on my System with a GeForce GTX 1060 with Studio driver and Hardware Acceleration on. The development time of develop persona was shortened again and i belive the starts up faster. Well done guys.

This works well. So it´s not a Softwarebug, it was a user error of mine Thank you @walt.farrell

Ok, this would explain why it works right with your System. I use a Windows PC and i have no Mac to compare it. When i begin to draw and then press the shift key, it´s like i draw freehand and i get a weavy line. I believe that it is a Bug in the Windows Version. Let´s wait what Affinity says.

This happens not only with a Document which is opened and where i already have drawn something. This happens also with a new clean Document where i want to draw a straight line at first. This doesn´t work for me. The Result is the same as a Freehand line. From other Graphic Programs i know that you press at first the key, then begin to draw and you get a straight line.

When i draw a normal Line with the Brush Tool, everything is ok. But when i want to draw a straight line with the Brush Tool and holding the shift key, an other Line will be added immediately before the drawing begins. I press the Shift Key first and then i begin to draw. 2020-09-20-08-02-38.mp4 T The next Video shows it better.... 2020-09-20-08-13-28.mp4 It doesn´t matter if i enable or disable Open CL, the result ist the same. Same Behavior in the current Version 1.8.5.703.

WOW.... I made a Test with Raw Development and Open CL enabled and disabled. With disabled Open CL it needs ~17 Seconds, with enabled Open CL only ~8 Seconds Same Raw File, same editing in Develop Persona. I´m very pleasantly surprised. My Graphic Card is a NVIDIA Geforce 1060 6GB with Studio Driver. Very good Job and thank you very much. Thumbs Up👍

Ah ok. Thanks for the explanation. I check it out in the evening.

Thanks for the bnew Beta. Installation was working well and the Software runs as expected. But what is meaned with this? Added a new Divide blend mode I checked it out and i thought that this is an improvement of Function "Divide" in Boolean Operations. But the Test gave out the same bad Results than in other Versions.

Thank you Affinity for supporting older Graphicablets and to choose an Option in Preferences that they work right. My old one works well again now. Thumbs up 👍

Thats what i have done and now it works as expected. Thank you 😊

@Sean P Thanks. Now it works and the Issue is solved 😊

I use an old Tablet, Wacom ET-0405-U with an actualy Driver. When i draw with the Pen it goes crazy. It doesn´t matter which adjustments i do in Windows Ink. Look the video below please. I explains by its self. Sometimes it works right, sometimes Guidelines are added by drawing but most times it goes crazy. Please also have a look to Layerpanel when i draw with the Pen. Maybe it is my mistake and i do something wrong... i don´t know. Or is it possible that the Graphic Tablet is to old and not supported by Affinity? Version is 1.8.4.693 2020-08-06-16-52-20.mp4

Thank you very much for sharing 👍

@Patrick Connor I have read it in the list of fixes. I checked it out and the issue is solved. Thank you very much.

Yesterday i upadatet my three Apps. Installation went well and alls Apps are working as expected, very well. Thank you Affinity for the Updates 👍

I can not confirm this, neither the behaviour in video 1 nor the behaviour in video 2. I also use the same Windows Version than you and i have no Problems. Is this behavior only with the Affinity Apps or with other Apps too? For me it seems like a Windows Problem. I had this Behavior a few years ago with win7 but i can´t remember what i have done to fix it. Maybe this helps you... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cursor-disappeared-in-windows-10/342eb3df-c60f-44c1-b038-f14bf5c15e19
