Open app. Set margins, bleed, colour etc. Hit OK. Attempt to drag a master into the "pages" pane. Crashes every time. Beta: 1.7.0.270 on a MacBook Pro.

D, the file just must have been corrupted. It got worse and worse - to the point that each time I did a save the whole App crashed. I've just deleted the file and will start again. S

Hi, on 1 particular document I have a series of Artboards. I can't select items from separate Artboards without first either clicking on the layer OR the name of the Artboard at the top of the page. Don't have this issue on any other document. Is it a setting or just a bug? Thanks in advance. S

When the list was first published Aff Designer was still in Beta and lots of features were being added - almost on a daily/weekly basis. They now have 3 products in development (iPad version as well) - so I guess they're a lot more stretched that a few years ago. Designer seems to have been on the back burner for well over a year now but I expect to see a major update this year.

Just got a response from Yellow Images: That's that cleared up. Is support for "Smart Objects" on the to-do list? Thanks again. S

I can confirm that once they have been implemented they are moved/removed from the list. Artboards, Pantone etc etc were all on that list but have since been implemented and removed. Still waiting on the "Knife tool" folks!

Just a quick check to see if the PSD templtes provided by yellowimages.com are compatible with Affinity Photo/Designer? Thanks in advance. S

Got it… open path. Good man MEB.

Any word of that "knife tool" MEB?

I'll check that - looks all closed up but that would explain it.

A selection of circles, divided - a few lines added, then joined end points (knife tool anyone?) Works fine when simple combining a number of simple shapes shapes - but possibly the direction of the curves are different for each part? That might be the problem? S

I wonder is this a glitch - just combined a mix of shapes and the Align options have no effect at all?

Struggling to find the options. I know they exist as an effect (fx) but can't seem to find a way to apply them to a stroked shape. Thanks in advance. S

Superb! Just ordered.

The ability to drag the x, y ruler and set it anywhere on the page would be really helpful. Double click resets it to the top left of the page. I must dig out my old copy of Freehand and post a video of how it handle the transition between Type tool and Move tool. It was seamless and never involved changing tools or breaking stride. It was as simple as holding down the command key. It's still my only real quibble with Designer.
