A pencil, V1 V2 or something else?
Screen recording of it happening? Easy to create if you havn’t done so before and very informative compared to ping pong posts.
I don’t think I’ve ever initiated a screen recording via the Settings app! I just swipe down from the top right-hand corner of the screen to display the Control Centre, and then tap on the Screen Recording icon there.

Another option is to use Boot Camp to install a copy of Windows in a separate partition.

The Windows 11 footer bar stays on screen while the Affinity programs are running. I do not remember whether that happened with Windows 10.
Do you have any ideas on what is causing the clipping please?
Sorry, William, I lost track of this thread! Please try Lee’s suggestion.
I presume that the “footer bar” to which you refer is commonly known as the “taskbar”. You can set it to autohide on Windows 10 (so that it slides out of view until you mouse over the bottom edge of the screen); I imagine the same applies to Windows 11.

In AD2 on iPad they’re accessed via the Edit menu:

Are you referring to the white line cutting through the J, the S and the U?
What is the thin vertical stroke below and to the right of the S? What other objects do you have on the page?

Something else sorry. And solved it.
What was the something else, and how did you solve the problem?

If you click them into position they should be placed at their native resolution, but if you drag them out to anything larger than their native dimensions you’ll spread the original pixels over a larger area and the resolution will decrease.

Are you referring to the ‘Transparent Canvas’ option, or something else?

Control or Command + D Deselects the selection, doesn't hide or dismiss the selection.
<Pedant off>
<pedantry>Dismissing a selection is the same as deselecting, but hiding (via the ‘Show Pixel Selection’ toggle) doesn’t deselect anything.</pedantry>

Sorry for not replying, I thought the thread was over so have not visited here for a while.
You can create a custom activity stream to cater for that scenario:
1. Go to ‘Activity > My Activity Streams’.
2. Press the ‘Create New Stream’ button.
3. Type something meaningful into the Stream Title box.
4. Change the Read Status setting to ‘Content I haven’t read’.
5. Change the Following setting to ‘Only content I follow’.
6. Press ‘Save Changes’ (near the bottom of the page).
Your chosen stream title will now appear under Custom Streams in the ‘My Activity Streams’ menu.

‘Vectoriser le contour’ works as expected for me in AD2 on iPad, but the text in the French menus is tiny!

The files you really need to save, though, are the ones that show on the application Home Screen. Those aren't anywhere in the real file system.
Those files are only in the application sandbox. They can be retained if you offload the app, but if you delete the app the entire sandbox area will be cleared out and any files only stored there will be deleted permanently.

It’s no longer available to buy, but if you visit the Purchased section in the iPad App Store (by tapping on your avatar and then tapping on ‘Purchased’ in the Account dialog that pops up) you should see it listed there.

first of all, no idea where to post this really, this is one the few forums that was enabled to select and seemed relevant.
I'm on iPad Affinity Designer.
Wanted to draw something then join some strokes but every other time I did that, the app crashed without saving. Very annoying, please fix that!
I updated my iPad version but issue remained.
You’re reporting a bug in Designer v1 on iPad, so the ‘Designer V1 Bugs on iPad’ section is exactly the right place!

Designer v2 is an upgrade, not an update, so it’s a separate purchase. Version 1 will continue to function, so there’s no need to upgrade if you don’t want to do so.

What profile do you think would match the most ?
PDF/X-1a would be the closest, but if that isn’t acceptable to your printer you could try a converter such as this one:

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @No more Illustrator graphs.
39 minutes ago, No more Illustrator graphs said:I, and I guess many more Affinity fans, would like to have [a graph-making] possibility within Designer.
This sounds more like a Publisher thing, but we can always hope!
40 minutes ago, No more Illustrator graphs said:Make it possible to link the graph to specific content in Excel or Numbers, and you have a winner.
Have you tried copying a graph from Excel or Numbers and pasting it into an Affinity document?

Honestly what I'd expect is that if I type fire with automatic ligatures both the f and i were replaced by the joined ligature. Sort of like autocorrect. But I'm no expert with regards to the consequences that could have.
One consequence is that editing could be marginally more complicated. Suppose, for example, that you had intended to type “fury” but accidentally hit the i key instead of the u key; an automatic fi ligature in the typed text would mean that you’d have to correct “fi” to “fu” instead of simply replacing one letter.

The PDF export has no scaling option, right? So, do you mean "Print as PDF"? – If yes, at least in macOS this PDF creation has no PDF options to choose.
Sorry, I suppose I must have been thinking of the options available when printing a PDF file. You can apply a scale factor at that point.

There are some Fonts which have numbers like that, a solid circle (or square or diamond) and a clear number inside.

The currency shown on the site will default to that of your location.
It is not possible to change the currency that you see in the store.
The currency shown on the site will default to that of your perceived location. I once had the weird experience of seeing prices in the Affinity Store with the currency set to Turkish Lira (TRY) instead of British Pound (GBP), but the problem went away when I switched off my VPN.

What font are you using, David? It looks as though there are some unusual (discretionary?) ligatures in there.
