Yes please

We'll take your feedback on board

This has been discussed a few times, and although I can see where you're coming from, I think it sets a precedent of marking any fonts with licensing restrictions, which isn't practical. As Walt says, most - all?! - fonts have their own varying licensing requirements, which it's already your responsibility to meet. Suddenly any fonts without this new mark would sort of appear to be unrestricted, which is not likely to be the case. It also doesn't really tell you anything that you need to know during day-to-day use, while taking up space in doing so. The Save As Package dialog does indicate that the font will be embedded in a restricted fashion, if that helps!

What exactly happens?

Heh, not a bad idea. We'll start with collapsing the space left over by hidding preferences not relevant in the current app, and see how it goes

We have something brewing for this

Thanks; that's a regression! These will be added later. 👍

Thanks! It does indeed appear to have some useful information in the Makernotes, so we should be able to start applying that to the Date Shot field during parsing (when it's missing its own timezone indicator), then everything will be fine.

It doesn't, but only the new editable date/time widget in v2 shows anything in your local time. v1 just parroted what you're seeing in the Detail tab - i.e. "whatever the camera told us" without any maths

Please provide the image in question so we can investigate. But from the Detail tab, which provides a "raw" view of the embedded information, it looks as though the EXIF data does not contain any timezone information, so we have to treat it as UTC (there is no better general solution). The time is then shown adjusted for your timezone in the editor. As such, this would be behaving as expected. However, it's possible that your Canon camera is putting timezone data someplace in the Makernotes that we don't currently parse, which may be fixable...

This ought to be fixed in the next build, thanks

This ought to be fixed in the next build, thanks

The date/time widget does use local time (if you change your system settings you'll see the widget adjusting to match; on Windows you have to restart the app to see this update though), but it looks like the value we're initially passing into it has the local time offset erroneously re-applied.

This is by design. Content migrated from v1 is not "linked" across the apps, and there is currently no way to "link" Document Presets.

Hi Ewart100! We are just about to release an update (2.0.3) - after you install the update, your other Affinity apps on the same iPad should then work with your Universal licence. Previously, you had to use the Register Purchase feature for that to work, but this restriction has now been lifted.

This is generally expected to work at present. Would you be able to attach a sample doc so we can investigate the specific data that is lost? Support will be able to provide a Dropbox link if you wish to keep it private. Thanks!

Unfortunately there's no proper Windows API support for this feature; we'd have to use their own font selector dialog control (via ChooseFont) or scrape the registry for the list of hidden fonts, which poses its own problems. Nice idea though!

Sorry, Amber, that's my fault - I gave Dan incorrect information! The insert option absolutely should be enabled - this is fixed for the next update.

This has been fixed for the next update; sorry!

That preference applies to new categories (i.e. "Create Category"). Imported categories will always be linked by default.

This usually means your image is missing Aperture or Focal Length data. It may be that HDR Merge is dropping it?

Unfortunately, we do not support the sidecar feature on iPad at present. However, you should be able to use the "Import from XMP" option in the metadata studio.

You could try putting the apps into the LocalSystem zone - this should allow them to start up. However, if you purchased through the Affinity Store, you'll need to activate the app, which requires (one-time) internet access. We would suggest then that you use a less locked-down zone, if only temporarily.

Sorry, I forgot that button is only in Photo! If you could tell me the full/complete path of that ws.dat file, that would be very helpful. Thanks

Hi @Schuberth - I'd like to try checking something in your system installation. Could you do the following: Go to Designer's Preferences Under "General", click the button to open the Lens Profiles folder in Finder Type ⌥ + ⌘ + C to copy the full path of the folder to the clipboard Post that path here, or you can PM it to me Cheers
