  1. I rolled back from 1.7 to 1.6.5.135 and now every time I close AP I get this error: "exception not handled". I'm running win 10 home 64bit 1903.

    PS: I tried to uninstall/reinstall the program, rename the folder with this path :  C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Photo\1.0 and start AP with ctrl pressed to clear user's settings/data but nothing solved the issue. Furthermore is impossible to send the automatic error log of the program caused by a server error. Any ideas?

    Thanks, we are still checking for the causes of this unexpected problem

    @Claudio60, @Granddaddy, @andersp5, @hoch 

    Sorry for the delay dealing with this thread. Can you PLEASE provide the files to us uploaded to here https://www.dropbox.com/request/x0U9zxniU73mGTCzWD1g  or If you have already shared a file in another post please provide a link to that post . We would prefer the source files or 1.6 version files to see this happening from scratch. Thank you very much

     

     

    Sure, just uploaded. Thank you very much Patrick!

    Hi,

    1.6 files opened and saved with 1 .7.0.380, without any modifications, are five to eight times bigger than the original.

    Example:

    One jpeg image with two adjustment layers has a file size of 5.425k for version 1.6. 

    Opened an saved with 1.7.0.380, with no modifications, the file size is 47.299k, almost 9x bigger...!

    Here is a screenshot:

    Thank you and keep up the good work! :-)

    I confirm this too.

    Hi Claudio, thanks very much for your solution! Sorry for my late response. I have not tried it yet, because the actions seems quit professional to me. When I have the courage I will try it and than let you know. 

    Hi Mirjam, you can take a look at the little program firstdefence suggested and maybe this could be the easiest solution for you (I never tried the program); anyway my instructions are very simple (2 minutes' time) , I post some screenshots so you can check the procedure step by step.

  5. To solve this problem you have to do this:


    go to regedit, then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySide, right click on SideBySide and select NEW > DWORD (32 bit) Value giving it the name PreferExternalManifest then Enter; double click on  PreferExternalManifest and change the value from 0 to 1 and click OK, then exit the Registry editor.
    Now you have to create a text file with this content:


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

    <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

    <dependency>
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
          type="win32"
          name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
          version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*"
          publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
          language="*">
        </assemblyIdentity>
      </dependentAssembly>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
          type="win32"
          name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT"
          version="9.0.21022.8"
          processorArchitecture="amd64"
          publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b">
        </assemblyIdentity>
      </dependentAssembly>
    </dependency>

    <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
      <security>
        <requestedPrivileges>
          <requestedExecutionLevel
            level="asInvoker"
            uiAccess="false"/>
        </requestedPrivileges>
      </security>
    </trustInfo>

    <asmv3:application>
      <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
        <ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware xmlns:ms_windowsSettings="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">false</ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware>
      </asmv3:windowsSettings>
    </asmv3:application>

    </assembly>

     

     

    Now save the text file with this name/extention: Photo.exe.manifest (without .txt extention) and put it in the same Affinity photo.exe folder (C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo) and you're done.


    Now Nik collection's ui is scaling properly as a plugin on high dpi monitors, hope it helps

    I believe proper drivers will solve this. They default generic pen drivers that comes with Windows has this issue we reported. 

    Try uninstalling the existing pen drivers and reinstall them.

    The another reason could be because of one Windows 10 update that messed pen behavior.

    I'd rather not uninstall and reinstall the pen's drivers because there is no updated .zip file to let me do this; the latest drivers/firmwares are present only in .msi file (both drivers and firmwares are installed) for win ver 1803 (I have 1809) and I think that if I try to install them (overwrite), my Surface will be messed up. I uninstalled all the entries related to surface pen in device manager but the problem persisted after the reboot; in the meantime I discovered a strange behaviour using the brush tool but I think it's better I'll describe it in the correct section inside the forum. Anyway I really appreciate your help!
     

  7. Same problem here with stable version 1.6.5.123 on a Surface Pro 4; using the Surface pen with the brush tool I have only a pointer visible on screen and if I want to see the brush size (the circle) I have to move the mouse on the active area first, after doing so the pointer turns into a circle and I can use the pen, as Omprakash Selvaraj described.

    PS: "show brush preview" enabled or disabled doesn't change anything.
