  1. Canva bought Affinity to the tune of about 1 BILLION dollars. Affinity made 16 MILLION pounds in revenue in 2022. Yeah, I am sure that will let you carry on and change nothing.
  2. I remember this being an issue for a long time, but I did not use it myself for a while. Now I am back at packaging design for a client and sadly it seems this still does not work correctly. The design has text that is rotated 90° to either side. To see it upright and edit it, I use View->Rotate. But WHY in the world do scrollbars and cursor keys still pretent that the document is upright? If I move the horizontal scrollbar, I want my document to move HORIZONTALLY and not vertically. Same for the cursor keys, this is beyond annoying! So my only options are to get a stiff neck OR "translate" every movement to which rotation I am currently in? This may make sense on iPad with pen, but definitely NOT on desktop! Come on Serif, please fix this already!
  3. Don't worry, his intention was not to help, but to show his superiority by knowing that help exists, when my question was already perfectly answered. There's always one like that.
  4. Hi, often when I adjust some intricate object's transparency or FX, it is really hard to see what I am doing because of the selection bounds. There is a button "Hide Selection while Dragging", but is there a way to temporarily hide a selection while I make adjustments? Thanks.
  5. @stokerg I wrote you a PN a good while ago, but you haven't read it yet.
  6. This is exactly what I ended up with and for my purposes, it works well enough. Since I obviously don't use this master in the document, I don't have to worry about it being printed and still it's always at hand.
  7. It just happened again, that I have to create the first edition of what will become a regular publication. I got an extensive briefing from the client, which is the "rulebook" for my work. It would be really handy, to have these notes available at all times inside Publisher. There is a "Notes" panel, but that is not what I mean. I am looking for a way to have notes "attached" to a document, but never visible in (or part of) the actual document. Right now, I am just inserting an extra page at the end and place the notes there. It is not a perfect solution though. Is there a better way to do this?
  8. I can replicate this endlessly. Crash Reports -> reports is empty Crash Reports -> Backtrace contains 5 new files after the crash 2nd screenshot is the XML of the -report.json Do you want them by PN?
  9. Hi, quick question: I am designing for packaging. During this, my client frequently gets samples to review. In Publisher -> Fields I have entered all the document information, along with a note "NOT FOR PRODUCTION". When I export to PDF, there is an option to "Include Document Information", but all it does is print the filename to the PDF. Is there a way, to display my custom document information as well, or am I stuck with entering it manually as text?
  10. Wow, that is everything I need, thank you. I had no idea about the macros, but your approach works beautifully. Dragging them directly to the Asets panel works in Windows too, I had no idea. I only ever added assets via the canvas and never thought of dropping them directly. Thanks to the both of you I have all the icons as named asets, how great is that? The ready assets if you want it: bootstrap_icons_19.zip
  11. I find it very strange too, since it happens in V1 as well. But here I can replicate it every time. Can you try with a Bootstrap icon, so we can that rule out please? 1-circle.svg 1-circle-fill.svg 1-square.svg
  12. Hi, try this: 1) drag&drop a graphic into Designer. I used a SVG from Bootstrap icons, but tried other SVGs too. It becomes an "embedded document". 2) Go to Ressource Manager, then Collect. 3) Choose a folder. I get a spinning wheel for a second, then Designer crashes every time I try it. By the way, the same happens in V1 I am on Win10, but installed AD regularly, not from the Windows Store. Edit: same thing happens in Publisher. I used a simple logo and some text this time. Collect -> spinning wheel -> crash.
  13. I was trying to have my Botostrap icons available as assets. But I run into problems: If I drag&drop icons to the canvas in Designer, it keeps the filename as layer name, which is good. But if I try to add one of those icons as an asset, I get "Assets can not contain embedded documents". The other way around is to open an icon as a document. This way it can be added as an asset, but has no layer name but "Curves". Same happens if I doubleclick on the "embedded dodument" from above. Renaming every single one of the currently 1800+ icons is not an option for me. Is there any way, that I can get all Bootstrap icons into assets while retaining the names without too much effort? OR did anybody make that already? I googled but did not find anything. Cheers.
  14. luckily, those are things I need very rarely if ever. So I guess using Publisher by default is the way for me. Thank you!
  15. I have a general question. Often I am working in Photo and would require a function from Designer, or the other way around. Using Publisher gives me all at once. I wonder, is there any downside or am I missing out on anything if I always start Publisher as default and then use the persona(s) I need?
  16. Yes, that works, thank you! It's a bit tiresome, but I only have to do it three times
  17. I know, but I read in one post that they are working on it and thought mybe the beta had it already.
  18. You mean the beta, right? Was it msix or exe? This might really be the problem here.
  19. In V1 I could drag and drop a file onto the respective Affinity icon on desktop to open the app with that file. As you would expect. This does not work with V2 anymore. Why?
  20. This is Designer V2 These are not even my own assets and it is still happening. Check the video: assets.avi
  21. Still not for me. I tried multiple assets from the canvas at once too and they all get named either "group" or "curve". Update: This might be a 1.x -> 2.x problem, maybe even a bug. My assets come from 1.x and they behave like I described above. When I drag my NAMED asset to the canvas (in V2), it already gets renamed to either "group" or"curve". If I rename the LAYER again and then drag back into assets, it keeps it's name.
