The same situation here.

This actually does not work on my Win11 Pro. It was set to D drive and it still installed to C drive and you cannot move them either, they fail so what is the solution?

Interesting to note that Blender an open source project has daily development releases in all formats and platforms including MSIX and MSI installers for the windows platform. They do this on a daily bases. Have a look at it here blender daily builds which shows it is not impossible to maintain both installers. I do not understand why the MSIX istaller was chosen in the first place as the only choice.

All my M.2 MVMe SSDs are internal, 2 on the mother board and another two on a PCIe M.2 card board. Another regular SSD has regular internal wired connection to the mother board directly. I only use external SSDs for backup.

I only use physical drive for D. Usually I do not install anything on the C drive and do not save there either so it is dedicated to OS only. D drive is a separate SSD without partitions and it is only used to install programs and not saving anything else there either. The rest of the othe physycal drives are for data and files.

Thank you for that info. I wonder what I should do with the other two software that I do not want on C drive. What made them think that we can waste our C drive? Plenty of garbage goes to C drive even without us wanting them to. We do not need more space occupied there. My previous computer run out of C drive space and to migrate the entire operating system to a new larger drive without buying a new windows licens is not a smple task. I would not have a problem with this installer technology if it would allow the control of the installation location. I guess at Affinity they mainly use MACs and they do not know much about the PC users needs and they did not research it.

Hello, I just purchased the upgrade package and to my shock it installed to C drive automatically. That is a big no-no for me. So where is the MSI package availabel as I am not happy to install the other 2 packages to the same C drive. This should never happen, users should have the option where to install things. I have 5 SSD drives and I do not want to clutter the C drive whith anything but what the OS needs. As a consequence I even reconfigured windows to automatically store Photos, Downloads and so on, on a different drive. Can anyone point me to the MSI versions? Under my account only the unwanted versions show up. Andrew

Hi @user_0815 Unfortunately the white box will not work for me s I place some overlaping images and I have to remove some part of it that would cover part of the below one. Did anyone find a solution for this because it does not look good in official documents.

Hi @DWright I just tried Figure 12 with a mask and the masking brush edges also showed up, see attached image.

Hi @thomaso I haven't thought of tha PDF reader. I use Foxit PDF reader but it still should not be on the images as something then must have been written to the PDF by Publisher to show up like that. I do not have borders an any of my images. I generated them with tranparent background or captured them an white background screen. I managed to get rid of the lines on that image by applying a circular mask on it but I need to see what I can do to eliminate this side effect where the stroke edges show up. Regardless of masking or paint brushing or even erasing, those ghost lines should not show up.

Hi @DWright Please have a look at Figure 12 also on page 9 where you can see the brush stroke outlines that I also mentioned.

Hi @thomaso The image need to disappear on the outside of the circle to simulate the relevant style of technical drawings so cannot just put a circle on it. On the original image where the part needs to be 'magnfied' is normally circled, as you can see the small one but the actual 'magnified' representation must look the way I did it but perhaps there is a better way of making that happen. I erased it to transparent background initially but that did not make those ghost lines disappear so then I tried it to brush over with white. I have all three of the affinity suits so I can switch between any of them within Publisher so any suggestions I can try to do as long as I can generate images the way they need to be shown.

I uploaded the entire file but this cannot be shared publicly. Sometimes some of the frame edge lines show up even when the image is not edited only cropped. Sometimes when editing image like painting over with the white to make parts 'sappear' will generate that ghost lines where the brushes moved and shows all the brush strokes' edges. BTW I am using the PC version of the Affinity suite in case it has something to do with it. On the original file there is no lines visible at all only in the PDF exported versions they show up.

That is correct, the light grey c-shaped lines are the problem. It appears sometimes with other images. Every now and then painting over the area with white solves the problem but not all the time. This is one of those times. I usually edit the image by switching to photo within publisher. Not sure if that would have anything to do. This image needed some white out masking around the blue circle to appear as a magnification. Here are the selected and unselected images and the original images for the effected one.

Hello, I am writing documents and found that many times the image that I place as Figures show up some ghost outline that should not show in the PDF. If I try to paint around it with white then the brush that is painted show its outline wher it moved around. How can I get rid of that. See attached image with the gray lines around the magnified image King regards, Andrew
