So, can we use AFFINITY to preview file thumbnails on a MAC?

Opened the file on iPad, no issues there either.......Tried another document, cut and paste works fine......LAW of the unlucky that the file I need to work on keeps crashing on the computer I need to work on.......

Designer 2.5.5 keeps crashing when copying to clipboard (windows 11), I've opened the file on a mac, no issues but I can't work/edit do what i want on the mac as all my project files are on the windows machine. I've re-installed from the fresh version on serif's website. I have up to date (amd) drivers (24.8.1) and running Win11 22631.4112, 128gb Ram, 8tb SSD's (plenty free), AMD 5950x 16 core running @ 4.5ghz, amd 6700xt graphics card. File isn't huge (480kb) 5000x5000 pixels, trying to copy 1 of 2 B&W parts of a circular logo. I've created a copy of the file (saved as new file). I deleted the "outer circle" part of the logo and saved the part I wanted to copy/paste into another file (the text). Copied that to the clipboard and affinity still crashes. Crash happens no matter which of the 2 parts I try and copy, inner text or outer circle. To say I am getting frustrated would be an understatement, the lack of "support" options for Serif isn't helping. Any ideas of settings I could/should look at? *I have toggled the hardware acceleration/Enable OpenCL Compute Acceleration to off (it was on) and that made no difference. I've upped the RAM to 655536mb (max) as well. Also changed the renderer to WARP from the AMD Radeon RX6700XT. Still crashes and closes the program as soon as I right click and press copy.

BUMP, another 2 months (16 MONTHS in total) and it's another "blame it on microsoft" situation from serif but the create shortcuts from shell:AppsFolder does not work for me as Stream Deck still wants the .exe file for my affinity programs.

I have to say, the V2 help guides are absolutely useless, I searched nothing came up! They might as well not have a search functionality......Thank you @walt.farrell

+1, this is not an iPad only problem. I am having the same issue on the windows version of Designer with only 0.1mm as a decimal place?? 2.1 did not remedy it either

Yes, I want to try and create random jagged waveforms from parallel/straight lines (so not freehand), I'd say 8 years from the first request is as good as being ignored

Yes, I looked in the help but clearly didn't "word" my search correctly and was instantly helped by @walt.farrell. I had no idea it was snapping related.

I'd never have thought of that 🤣 thanks for trolling my posts once again!

+1

Clearly this request from V1 (2015) has been ignored, any chance of adding this function in V2 please?

BUMP +1 It's only been 8 years, surely this has to be near the top of the to-do list???🥱

AMAZING, thank you 🥰 I'd never have worked that out myself.

I am zooming in and out of a project of a lot of small logos and I want to turn off the magenta outlie showing on screen. There is no outline to the objects. I've looked in the view mode, outline is off. I'm assuming this is user error but I cannot work out how to just see the objects, without the outline. The logos' are vectors, all the same colour (at the moment). It's the same whether the view mode is pixel or vector Zoomed even further out?

yes, you're right, I have the exact same issue.
