Change Crop Tool Default Settings
henryg replied to Massi's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
2+ years and no action to allow crop tool to default to original ratio ☹️ PATHETIC frankly! -
Histogram
henryg replied to Gerhard Herboeck's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
No updates in the last 6 months? Is there now a user setting/option? It is really very poor as is - why would the developer/s want it like this? -
Betas and desktop settings
henryg replied to henryg's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
Guys, I have a structure for my programs which I follow, and AF gives me the option so why not use it?; A beta should not update/upgrade a non-beta IMO if that will cause problems; I have settings in two locations although the beta (correctly) only sees its settings; And as I said, the Windows uninstaller sees 2 installations even though only one exists, so it seems likely that the beta installer has caused a problem; and ISTM that I should probably uninstall the beta, delete all residual settings/folders I can find, and start again. I'm not trying to be difficult or flame anyone! -
Betas and desktop settings
henryg replied to henryg's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on Windows threads
That may be the case for you, but it is NOT for me. On my pc C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo\ contains only a Common folder in which resides a single file, Thumbnail.dll I have also done a global search for eg Photo.exe which confirmed that only one copy exists; at C:\Program Files\Apps\Affinity\Photo.exe - I do not use the default location. I concede that something odd may be happening, but please do not assume that what I say is incorrect. -
Betas and desktop settings

Some further digging finds 2 AppData folders C:\Users\henryg\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0 (Beta)\user C:\Users\henryg\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\user\ so do these contain my settings? But definitely not 2 program installations, ALTHOUGH 2 show under add/remove programs. And the last version on my PC was definitely a 1.7 non-beta version, although I have installed beta versions previously. Something has got messed up. -
Betas and desktop settings

When I ran the beta it updated (and I recall it saying it was doing so) the installed non-beta app, and my desktop settings are gone. My macro library was not overwritten, and I had saved my keyboard shortcuts. If it updates, then all settings should be preserved IMO! Can you please tell me where the Photo app stores my preferences (registry, sql/ite, ini etc), as potentially I can get the settings from an old disk image - and no I don't want to revert to that image, it's too old. Not the end of the world but I'm not best pleased. -
I haven't tried a beta for a while, and it is SO annoying to find that installing one still overwrites my desktop settings. Why can't you preserve the settimgs? Or allow export and import?
-
Fair enough. I think I'll await the official release.
-
This beta looks to have been "cooking" for a long time. Is there any liklihood of a release version in the near/ish future? The stated file incompatibility is a major issue.
-
Excellent news! S'ok, I won't ask for implementation timeframe
-
Is there no way you can package a patch file rather than requiring a download of 300mb each time you update the beta?
-
Can you please make this available for download - lost my install file and want to downgrade for now.

1.6 macros
henryg replied to Scorp's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Should be free for all of us. Why not, if I've bought AP? -
And very good it is too! And I particularly like having the tool reference videos in addition to Serif's.

Save desktop layout
henryg replied to henryg's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks and yes, it does. But if I have to reinstall for any reason (Windows of Affinity) it would have been nice to import the settings, as for macros and brushes..
