Hi, I have this issue quite a lot and now is the time to finally find a better workflow to do this; I have an image, masked with a rectangle that also defines the background color with it. But now I'd like to change the color of this mask object (the rectangle) because I'd like to change the background color. So far I unmask this first, change the color of the rectangle and mask it again (or change another way to do this background color anyway, but that's not the point now). But there must be a way to directly change the color of this 'mask-object' without unmasking it first, right? How to do this kind of stuff without unmasking? Hope this makes sense!

@walt.farrell Thanks a lot Walt! I was looking for the exact location to let Blender look at the exe and found your answer saying there are real exe install files now! Very appreciated! Very nice to now being able to getting rid of these old msix files and actually have a real location again!

Just for people having this issue, found this thread and like me thought the Serif bot meant the Text menu, it's not in the text-menu but in the character panel still. This is where it's at in Designer: The buttons under Typography to change subscript and superscript don't work, but the dropdown under Positioning and Transform does work: (BTW it's interesting that we can toggle on both superscript and subscript at the same time in Typography. I wonder what was supposed to happen in that case)

@Ron P. Thanks for the response. I am surprised because having this dialog popup isn't very convenient and I can't imaging Serif not seeing this while in the test phase. So I would expect at least a checkbox somewhere to turn this behaviour off.

Really nobody here knows how to turn this off? I'm surprised

Hi, I created an adjustment preset and want to apply it to each layer. But everytime I apply the preset to other layers this adjustment panel with sliders pops up. This is a pretty inefficient workflow like this because the whole point in having a custom preset is to apply the same preset, so we don't need to change its settings. And if we would like to change them we could click the created adjustment layer anyway. How can we turn off this automatic popup-behaviour of the Adjustment layer settings when applying a preset? Thanks in advance!

Sorry, kan daar geen zinnig woord over zeggen want heb daarin zelf nooit instellingen gemaakt (ik gebruikt amper tot geen spellingscontrole). Sorry, can't say a sensible word about that because I've never changed any settings in there (never really use spelling checks).

Love these warps! That Twist Deformer is pretty sweet too 😘 Let's do the twist! 🎉👯‍♂️⭐ 😀

My 'Likes' are done for today on the forum, so can't like your posts, but wanted to let you know; great list and fully agree! Besides all the great new features and great changes, there are also some seemingly little changes which are pretty worthwile and great IMO. Haven't worked my way through the new Photo and Publisher yet, only Designer. But I'm pretty impressed at the level of detail of these changes. Even the little details that have been changed in Designer are clearly well thought through and based on requests on this forum. You can tell they heard it all last years and took the chance to put these changes in v2 to address them. Some of which I'm very happy with, like the toolset which was contantly getting seperated from the interface when double clicking in v1 wich now conveniently stays fixed! And the redesigned export and settings panels that are much more streamlined now. Seemingly small things that really make a positive difference when using the application on a daily basis. Have to explore further but very happy with these changes!

I am Dutch and all softwareinterfaces I use I always set to English. Dutch software terms many times sound weird in technology AND it's way easier to use search terms in google in English because there's way more information about everything in English out there! 😀

Cool! I didn't even see that one yet. That's great indeed!

I am surprised to see so many salty comments here on this forum complaining about a gift they got in the form of a brand new version with many great new features. With weird arguments about the incredible price and about features they wanted to have but aren't there yet. There are so many negative comments that I felt the need to write a little counter balance here: I was very happy to see today the email about the new Affinity upgrade which, when looking at the commercial page about it, has a lot of great new features a lots of people were missing in v1 and asked about and now are there! And besides that I also read about lots of great changes that really make a difference. Way the go Serif! Great launch of a full complete package clearly a lot of effort have been put into. And having all applications for all platforms together for just 120 euros is a great price! Would be nice if some people here would show a little bit more respect and understanding about what software development actually means and what things like this cost to create in real life. Maybe then there would be a little bit more understanding in how great this price - value actually is. From me: thanks Serif for all the hard work! 👍 😀

What are you talking about? ALL applications together for all platforms you can buy for just 120 euros, which is 122 dollars. When you're having a business it's even cheaper when having more users, than it's only 108 euros per person for ALL apps on ALL platforms.

For an upcoming animation in 3D I needed blinds for in a kids room. I made a sketch of two loving sheep on paper and vectorized them in Affinity Designer which I now use on the blinds in the 3d scene. Sleep well kids 😀

Pretty cool! And also cool Pretty! 😎

I just installed that tool, but it doesn't even list the KB I had uninstalled. Shouldn't it be possible to list the KB when it was already uninstalled to hide it? BTW I do see the KB5018545 upgrade in the tool to hide tho (a cumulative update), which wasn't installed so didn't need to uninstall it before, but is on the errornous list Serif made, so I set that one on hide tho

Can confirm that uninstalling KB5017262 (on Win 10) fixed a crash of Designer here too.

Thanks your the quick response @N.P.M. . I've checked all KB-upgrades as described in that issue thread and only had KB5017262 installed. After uninstalling it it and restarting the pc it was working again. 😀

Please see video below; when selecting a font with mouse it's all fine and hover works. But when using a keyboard shortcut (like hitting 'B' to go to a font starting with a B, than Affinity Designer immediately freezes, crashes and after a few seconds shuts down. Using windows 10. affinity-crashes-on-keyboard-use-in-font-dropdown.mp4

@Phazor +1 for this Although as it seems now Affinity 2.0 will have support for scripts (I've read about Javascript and a C++ type language somewhere here by Serif), so that would (hopefully) open up possibilities to create these kind of things ourselves / by external parties! BTW for those that are using Moho and found this thread and were having issues importing SVG into Moho, like I had today, (issues in the curves in Moho after importing the SVG): At the moment unfortunately Moho 13.5.5 can't handle Relative Coordinates in SVG paths data strings. Unchecking 'Use relative coordinates' in the Affinity export settings works around this issue. I'm hoping (and asked today for a fix by Lost Marble) Lost Marble will fix this issue soon as relative coordinates in paths is part of the very core SVG standard and not every SVG around is made in Affinity. But at least we have a workaround!

You have a pretty unique style. I might even recognize your style from many others now, which I think is a great thing
