  1. I'm trying to setup a workflow where I can work on Photo files on my desktop, save to a server and open on my iPad so I can use the pencil for drawing effects. I have a shared folder and can easily save my files to that. Then I can connect to the shared folder with my iPad and see the files. But if the files get over a certain size it crashes the Photo app when I open it. Files around 10MB seem fine. It's when they get around 15 to 75MB with layers, I have issues. The files DO open when I restart the app and they are there in the gallery. I'm using Photo 2.0.1.307 on an iPad Pro 11 inch/3rd generation/ running 16.1.1 It doesn't happen with Designer 2
  2. @Alexey Adamitsky I may have solved my issue. I have a Gigabyte Designare Motherboard. It was on Bios f4 and I updated it to f8. There is an f9b but it's in beta. This seemed to improve if not eliminate the problem. It seems like the resize issue is largely gone. But if I keep grabbing the edge and swirl it around for awhile it starts to slow down. But it takes longer for the slow up to occur. And if I pause a sec before swirling the corner again, it's back to normal.
  3. Here is the screenshot of my settings. I too have the window resize issue in Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo. It's odd. Once you start it up, float the window and resize it the movement is smooth. As you continue for a few seconds it gets slower and sloooower until it lags so much that it keeps moving once you let go. There is a bottleneck somewhere. It's almost like a memory cache fills up or something.
  4. @Sean P I've been having the same issues. Please see my posts above.
  5. Here's an odd question for the Nvidia users. Are you all using the Studio drivers or the Geforce Experience drivers? I'm using the latest Studio drivers (452.06). Would using the Geforce Experience drivers make a difference? NOTE: Just swapped out drivers and no effect.
  6. Yet another experiment. I tried to see what the Task Manager said when I just started resizing a window and getting the lag. For the record I DO have AD set to use my graphics card (Geforce GTX 1070) for acceleration. What I see is around 17.4 % CPU usage and 3.6 GPU usage. Shouldn't the GPU usage be higher? I tried the same thing in Illustrator and Photoshop. BOTH got up to 17-20% CPU usage, BUUUUT their GPU usage was MUCH greater than AD. Photoshop GPU usage went from 10-20% GPU usage Illustrator GPU usage was stable around 11% GPU usage. Neither have the window resize issue. I changed the settings in AD to use WARP and it didn't perform any better. CPU usage spiked to 50% and GPU usage went to 20%, but the lag persisted. It's definitely an AD issue. Probably not efficiently using the Nvidia GPUs.
  7. I did a further experiment. I changed the monitor resolution to 1920 x 1080 and tried resizing the window. It starts off fine and then slows as I continue resizing the window. If I pause before trying again, the window again starts off fine but slows as I continue to resize. There is a bottleneck somewhere.
  8. Another odd experiment. When I grab the window from the bottom and resize the whole interface from top to bottom, it's fine. When I grab the window from the right and try to resize right to left, it lags.
  9. Actually, Alexey I'm seeing the exact same thing. I thought it was my drivers but I just updated them and it didn't clear up the issue. Oddly it worked fine after a restart but then started misbehaving again. I'm on Win 10 1909 2560 x 1440 - 100% scaling 32 GB RAM Geforce GTX 1070 I do have a multiple display set up. I don't think it's a video card issue. As when I grab the whole window and move it around, there is no lag. It's just when I resize a window with an open document. Even when it is a blank document I get lag. If I just open the program and DON'T open a document, there is NO lag. Memory leak?
  10. I can confirm that expanding the star and double star shapes are still broken in AD 1.8.
  11. I'm attaching a file for the eye. Eyeonly.afdesign
  12. Strokes expand in unexpected ways. I attached an example to show the issue. I've colored the strokes in dark red to illustrate the problem. When I select the strokes and go to "Layers" and choose "Covert to Curves" I get all of these extra loops at the ends. These strokes were copied and pasted from a larger piece of art and they behaved the same way in the new document. New strokes drawn in a New document DO NOT behave the same way. I first noticed this when I created a PDF from a piece of artwork and the strokes were expanded in the process. I attached the PDF as well. I am using Affinity Designer 1.8 - downloaded on 2/27. faun copy.pdf
  13. I want to make a update. This bug seems to have been squashed in the latest update to the Beta I downloaded today. I was on 1.7.0.3 I am NOW on 1.7.0.4 The bug is dead. Hooray!!!
  14. I don't know guys. Even when I make a pixel layer and lock it I can still select it and move it around. Here is a screenshot. My cursor dropped our but notice the "x's" are anchors in this picture. I can move the layer around. It doesn't happen instantly. You have to keep clicking and dragging. Then it comes "loose".
  15. Oh sure. I'm attaching the "problem" structure and what I found that seems to work. The first structure was the default when I took a scan of my sketch (jpg) and dragged and dropped it over the AD icon in my Toolbar.
  16. I'm using the 1.7.0.3 Beta of Designer for Mac and basically I have a Pixel layer I'm using as a Background layer for tracing. Even though I lock it, I'm still able to accidentally move it with my cursor. It's a pain in the ass when I go to adjust my lines and I keep grabbing the background. This would make the program unusable for me.
  17. Hello, I'm impressed with the development so far, but I have a request regarding the document bleed settings. I would really like to see a guideline pop up within the document showing where your bleeds are. It would definitely help me in planning my layouts. and maybe an option to convert lines to guides for if I needed to set up a dieline on a shape that is not rectangular. More print production tools in general would be nice - separation preview to determine percentages of ink coverage, and so on. Thanks
