Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.10.0.1)
ziemo replied to MattP's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
great update, finally bigger documents work as they should:) Any idea when this version is comming out "offical"? More or less of course, is it going to be next month, or next quarter of the year? -
Try calling them;D they will fix this (or not) in AD 3.0 which you will have to pay for;D Seriously, they should relase version 1.6.4 now as a HUGE performance update, there is nothing version 1.9 does better than the old one. In my opinion this is the trick to force all the pro users to buy their next product.

they really don't give a s*** about it... seriously, they support should start learning from Adobe, because they are far behind. I switched from macbook to iMac 2019 with 20bs of ram, 4gb graphic card, and guess what: it works as slow as on 2014 MBP... sorry, maybe sometimes it is 2sec faster (in 40s of opening time) To compare things: AD 1.6 works super fast even if I have 30 artboards loaded with photos. What is sad: they won't let you downgrade, even if you bought 1.6 in the past. Really, Serif - shame on you. You didn't even bother to check this issue. Congratulation of your customer service.

Well 14 seconds with this file is pretty long don't you think? I have some files that opens above 1 minute, where AD 1.6 opens them in 10 seconds. And they are very glitchy when they finally opens. I'm on Macbook PRO, 15 inch, late 2014 model with IRIS PRO graphics and i7 2,2 ghz processor. AD 1.6 works smoothly with files like 3-4 GB while AD 1.8 is practically unusable with such big files...

Hi, this time I'm sorry for getting back here after so long time... Well, I tested it 100 times and every time the situation is exactly the same. It's not happening on one particular project, it happens with EVERY document created on Affinity 1.6 which I then try to edit and save in the AD 1.8 (the newest version as well). When I save the file (or use "save as" and create a new file) it makes a 900mb file a 61mb and links every image which was previously embeded... it works very bad. In case you would like to investigate it I paste here some file created in AD 1.6: https://we.tl/t-y5YDCTd2M9 I would appreciate some help with this.

Hi, I have a serious problems with the new Affinity 1.8 When I create a pretty big file in Affinity Designer 1.6 (bigger than 2gb) the AD 1.6 opens it in about 5 sec. When I open the same file in AD 1.8 it works the same, UNTIL I save changes. After that the file size is automatically reduced to 250 MB and works super slow. Reopening the file takes almost 2 minutes and it works way worse... looks like it is not embedding media, but linking instead. The same problem occurs when you create a brand new file in AD 1.8. When you create many artboards with many big images, the project starts to run super slow. AD 1.6 didn't have that problems at all. Looks like new Affinity has some serious performance or media placing issues... How can we force the Affinity Designer to always embed media instead of linking them? The same issue was present in AD 1.7, 1.8 didn't make anything better... Please take a look how the file behaves in AD 1.6: https://youtu.be/ds9Wjh4IHzU And how it works after saving the project in AD 1.8: https://youtu.be/F7KTDbsSf7c

Hi, what is going on with "resource manager" in AD 1.7? I made a document containing few artboards, placed there few images (drag and drop from finder), everything worked fine until I deleted these images from my mac. Now I have this message: https://take.ms/5Kvwj1 On other documents I don't have this problem. When I delete something from my mac, it is still in the document.

Sure, I would be grateful for any help here. I wouldn't like to provide project files on the public forum, can I send you a link via PM or something like it? -
Hi, I have a huge issue with Affinity Designer after upgrading to version 1.7... It works super bad, loading every document few times longer than version 1.6. Recently I created a new file with a few artboards inside. The file is around 250 MB. If you want to open it, it takes around 4 minutes (SIC!). I'm on Macbook Pro 15, mid 2015, 16gb ram and Iris Pro graphics. The document is very small, Affinity Designer 1.6 was able to open documents bigger than 1 GB in around 4-5 seconds on my Macbook. It is completely unusable.... To compare: Affinity Publisher opens a 200 pages catalogue project in about 12 seconds (file size: 3,5 GB) I would like you to solve this issue or providing a DMG files of version 1.6. Otherwise I would like to request a refund, because version 1.7 works super bad:(
