I'm using a 2013 Mac Pro and a Dell U2715H monitor. This setting is not showing for me. Also, the Hardware Acceleration setting doesn't work either. Unfortunately I'll be going back to Photoshop. Because I'm tired of drinking coffee while I wait.

Affinity Photo opens very slowly. I can advise you to prepare coffee until it opens.

With the release of macOS 12.3 (21E230), Affinity Photo's opening speed became 2x slower.

Thanks. Yes. I am using the Mac App Store version. I logged in with the Guest account on my computer with macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559). Affinity Photo opens in just 10 seconds. Then I created a new user and tried again. The problem is fixed. It boots up in 10 seconds. I guess that's a normal time, right?

Thank you very much for your support. I also tried the beta version. I got a screen recording showing boot times. No change, no speed difference. I present to your information. As you can see in the video, it opens in 18 seconds in both versions. 01.mp4 02.mp4

Yes.

Thanks. I tried what was described in the link you shared. But it didn't work. Mac Pro, 64 GB Ram MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)

I have a same issue with MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559) Mac Pro 2013 64 GB Ram

Affinity Photo was once very fast. However, unfortunately, with each new version, it slows down with the opening speed. Every time I open the app, it bounces on the Dock 10-15 times. Then I think it gets stronger and decides to open up.

OOO that's great. You saved me from paying $29. Thank you.

I finally found the solution I was looking for. Maybe Affinity will buy it and give it as a gift It's a small program, but it does a great job: RTL Fixer

Thanks. There is a Python project called Arabic Resharper for this problem. Affnity Development Team can review these codes and maybe learn how to fix this problem.

Any update on this?

Great topic!

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much. Is there a link where I can download the files for other languages (Deutsch, Turkish etc.. )?

Hi Antoine, Where can I find a dictionary of NL and other language files? I use macOS catalina.

File size is only 55 MB.

Hi MEB, The same problem exists in Publisher 1.8.1. I use the 27-inch (2560 x 1440) Apple Thunderbolt Display.

Thanks for your help. I copied the project file to the system disk. But nothing changed about speed. For example, I add only 1 character to the text on a page and save it with command + s. Processing time is too long. Can you have any other advice? Mac Pro (Late 2013) 3,5 GHz 6 Core Intel Xeon E5 64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 2 x AMD FirePro D500 3 GB 256 GB PCIe SSD

Thanks for your reply. I add new pages and add articles for the book I prepared. I save the project with command + s every 2-3 minutes. The time has come so long. I keep the project on an external disk (Samsung T5 SSD 512 GB).

Hi Dan C Save History With Document option is not ticked. I tried with File> Save As, but nothing changed. Looks like: TimeSave.mp4

I'm creating a 50-page book in Affinity Publisher. Whenever I save, it takes about 5-7 seconds for the progress bar to appear. This becomes very annoying over time. A popup with a Saving screen appears and the operation cannot continue until the saving process is finished. Is the time taken for saving normal? Wouldn't it be better if you performed a background process for this saving? Affinity Publisher 1.7.3 Mac Pro 2013, 6-core Xeon, 64GB Ram 10.15.3 Catalina

Hi MEB, any updates on this feature?

Why Affinity still does not offer RTL support (for Hebrew, Persian, Arabic etc.) even after many years. However, if this prepares RTL support, it's sure to make a lot of money. Because I'm sure there are thousands of designers who need RTL typography. The question is: Is Affinity incredibly rich, doesn't it need money Or is RTL support not an important part of these professional (!) programs? A place where the mind stops.
