Launch the app. Ctrl+Shift+Escape (or ctrl-alt-delete if you're old school) Expand the processes of the app Right click the application process "Open File Location" That file can be made into a shortcut on desktop (or if you're like me, on your 3rd party app launcher) f*** whoever made this decision. f*** windows store apps.

Wow. This is pure insanity. I hate the new world. I absolutely F**king hate it. One of the things I loved about Affinity was that they weren't simply blindly accepting the new trend of every single thing being a cloud service. But yet, they seem to have blindly given in to other stupid trends. Why oh WHY would you make this a microsoft store style app? I WANT TO OWN MY APPS NOT HAVE THEM LIVE IN A FREAKING CLOUD LIKE THIS What freaking PLANET am I living on where I have to LOOK UP HOW TO ADD A DESKTOP SHORTCUT FOR THE APP!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!! I don't want to live any more.

I believe I may have gotten to the bottom of this problem. I think it is caused by something in Affinity being incompatible with G-Sync. When I disable G-Sync, the flickering goes away. I gotta say this was really getting to my brain cells lol. Glad to have figured it out. Here is a link to the thread which lead me to try this. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/436325/g-sync-and-affinity-photo/?topicPage=17 Me right now:

Hey there, cool avatar Windows 10 19042.631 RTX 3090 Driver 471.11 5600x 64gb ram Preferences: performance is all defaults. Designer: Photo: I realize my Windows build and Drivers are out of date, but bear in mind I just reinstalled from a fully up to date system which had the same issues. Still, I will update them and post to let you know if there is any change. Waiting on some stuff to finish first. Thanks

Hello, I am hoping you are aware of the massive stability issues that are plaguing the current releases of both Photo and Designer. I have been pretty happily using these apps for a few years, but in the last week they have begun to crash and hang constantly. I reinstalled my whole OS and this is still a problem, so it's inherent to the current release. I can't get anything done, I'm lucky if I can even get to opening a file before the crash. For whatever time it does manage to run, the screen is crashing and artifacting. Sometimes images change to extremely unrecognizable streaks (usually just prior to a crash) but for the most part it's just extremely quick black flashing over the entire draw area. I'm insanely disappointed that reinstalling my OS did not fix this. What kind of timeframe can this potentially be fixed in? In my experience, most requests take years at a minimum around here, so I'm afraid I may just have to find another tool. That would disappoint me a lot because I generally like these apps, so please let me know if there is anything I can provide to increase the likelihood of this getting resolved in the near-immediate term.

Whenever I move my cursor to any part of the interface, I get massive cursor lag. Edit: To clarify, I mean when I mouse over to the buttons on the top, left, or any of the panels on the right. There is no lag while my cursor is in the stage area. Edit 2: I have a 3090 and a 5600x and 64gb of ram and none of it is underperforming and none of it is anywhere near max utilization.

Trying to make a macro that will crop something to a specific aspect ratio but not to a specific size. Everything I try forces specific dimensions so the macro can't be used on anything except photos with the exact same size. I just want to keep the width exactly as is and crop to 4:3 in the center.

There are numerous tutorials suggesting that you can hover the text tool over a path and it will allow you to type on a curve, but that is not the case in the 2020 version of the software. Hovering over a curve is no different than hovering anywhere else, and clicking results in a new normal text layer being created. I have also seen it suggested to select the path and go to layer -> convert to text path, but sadly, that is also not a thing in the 2020 version of the software. I can right click it and convert it to a text frame, but that just contains the text, it doesn't allow me to write it in a circle or along a custom path. Edit: I just realized everything I was finding was for Designer even though I was looking for Photo. So, there's no way to do it in Photo? That's a bit silly but I do have Designer so I guess I'll just do it there.

It just creates a weird amalgom of the shapes with random meaningless points in the middle.,. It doesn't actually subtract the shape. Observe:

Cool! I had not heard of JustinMind. And Axure looks to have come a very long way since I used it years ago. I will definitely have a look at these. Edit: Ugh, software that charges monthly again. No. NO. This is not an acceptable business model, I am completely disinterested. F**k these companies, I am so filthy sick of money-grubbing greedy ass pieces of shit who think they can do something once and then get paid over and over forever. F**k these companies every bit as much as Adobe. I can't believe they have the nerve to do that when they aren't even providing a service like Figma and Invision. In order for me to use it software has to have a native client that works fully while offline and allows me to control my own files and convert my files to other programs if desired. Sorry but no matter how good a web app is, it does not perform on the level of a native app. That's simply not possible in a browser. Too many unnecessary bottlenecks, and wrapping the app in your own mini-browser and claiming it's native doesn't solve them. But even if it did, Figma still fails the offline and file control tests. Not an option if it doesn't run on both Windows and Mac. Don't see why anyone would bother making an app that isn't cross-platform in 2019. It's obviously not possible for me to make that statement with regards to others' preferences. It is implied that I am talking about my own situation. The word "viable" doesn't even make sense out of a specific personal context which I had already shared. Sentences are not meant to be read in a vacuum. Intentionally refusing to acknowledge the context in order to be pedantic and rude for no reason is going to cause you and the people you interact with a lot of problems in life.
