This curve does not feel well
Aleksandar Kovač replied to Aleksandar Kovač's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
@Old Bruce, @Callum No, this curve is very much an Affinity local. The multipage file it is from did go to Publisher and Designer and back. It was made using Pen tool, as a curve (not line). Manipulated node position using Node tool and scaled as an object. No nodes were added or taken. Contextually, the curve was used in a wiring diagram to connect two locations. After it was made, no considerable work was done on it. Overall, I'd say this curve had a happy, non-demanding curvy existence until I selected it along with 3 other siblings (rather, twins, since they were duplicates) and scaled them together. Only this one got sick. The afflicted curve was copied then into a fresh file but it still looked the same. Then I sent it to you, thinking that a specialist is what it needs. And considering it is, vectorially speaking, an elementary specimen (2 nodes and a curve in between) I was hoping the case might pique your curiosity... @NotMyFault Yes! That therapy works ...and thank you for your signature! It is soothing in these random-variable times. -
Hello. Can anyone see if they have the same issue? File attached. On my machine, this curve looks quite unwell. 🤢... Screenshots attached. It might need some help. I was after a nice curvy curve. Instead, I got this... How? 🤔 This curve does not feel well.afdesign

Layer set as Asset? Nyet.
Aleksandar Kovač replied to Aleksandar Kovač's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
Hi @Hangman,video attached. Also, @stokerg I have just noticed another thing... see in video what is happening with layer icon colors once the layer set has been dragged in. They should stay R, G, B but they keep changing, suggesting layer data integrity might be off, too. (unfortunately, I cannot replicate this) P.S. - could it be that icon color changing is some video capture artifact? they appear gray from the beginning and they are R, G, B here... Layer set asset nyet.mov -

Problem: Layer set dragged from Assets panel does not like objects being added to it. Start a fresh document in Publisher. Make a layer. Now, in that layer, make three more sublayers. Add some objects in each of sublayers. Try selecting and moving the objects. All behaves as expected, I presume. Now, delete the objects so you have only layer-sublayer structure. Add layer (with its sublayers) to an Asset category. Now, drag that Layer set from Assets panel onto the page. Layer set with sublayers is visible in Layers panel. Try adding some objects to sublayers and then selecting, moving... At this point I cannot see or move any of the objects added to sublayers. If, using layer palette, objects from sublayers are pulled out of the layer set, they become responsive again. Anyone else experiencing the same? I like using Layer sets for quick workspace setup.

@walt.farrell, @Hangman Great catch! On Mac, Appearance panel exists in pixel persona and works as intended. However, as mentioned above, it is missing in shortcuts preferences list.- 14 replies

Shortcuts: Pinning a shortcut on Pinning?
Aleksandar Kovač replied to Aleksandar Kovač's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
Yes, @Callum I did have this preset. I did not delete it, but it does not show up in Presets manager. App has been restarted a few times. Computer, too. Additionally, I did have Typography, Graphics presets, too. But, I would only ever see the first one on the list of presets in shortcuts editor. :( Now I see @Return has all those presets showing up nicely in Shortcuts… And, what can I say, I am jealous. Do other Mac users lack “Pinning” in Shortcuts editor, too?- 14 replies

@Return Thank you for reply! Wow, you have it!... see how it looks on my machine... (Mac, Sonoma) The other thing is that you seem to have shortcutable studio presets... I can only see my first preset in this list.- 14 replies

Handy Pinning panel is listed in Studio/Text but it seems it does not exist in (exceptionally badly done) Shortcuts settings. Anyone knows where did that little Pinning rascal go?

No Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes… on Initial words
Aleksandar Kovač replied to Aleksandar Kovač's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
@Old Bruce This is precisely what I did. Reported bug anyway. -
Affinity Publisher 2.2.0 This one is reproducible even on fresh documents with untouched default text styles. On Ventura 13.5.2. Sample document is attached, and a screenshot of what happens. Edit a text style/Initial words on a text style that is based on some other style. ‘End characters’ input will show [No change]. Try editing this variable by clicking on the dropdown and choosing TAB or anything else. ‘End characters’ still displaying [No change]. But, if user clicks inside the input box, actually TAB is added, right after [No change] label. However, there is no effect on the text. I would expect that choosing TAB (or something else) would set end character to be TAB and work according to this setting. This would remove [No change] label from the input. However, this does not happen. Besides, I have noticed while working that some other Text style settings get lost, malformed, ignored… if a text style is based on another style. However, this bug above I am able to reproduce consistently. Inital words not working as expected.afpub

I agree with @Welsbach. Regarding the ‘synchronization’ of master pages, the process that is executed when pressing ‘synchronize’ is not synchronization but rather ‘propagation’. If this is indeed ‘by design’ this is by very bad or incomplete design. As it is now, it is: damaging to the fluidity of the workflow – good preparation is important, by all means, but having to make absolutely perfect layouts beforehand eliminates the advantages of using this tool and this medium fully to the benefit of the user; unnecessarily wasting user’s time – if there are more than one master in the style source chapter, time needed to delete all the unneeded propagated masters (one-by-one!) in other chapters grows exponentially; propagated master versions accumulate quickly. Unless a user has been diligently renaming them before each synchronization/propagation, obsolete masters will have the same names as newer masters, which makes cleaning and maintaining the file a pain. E.g.: 3 changes on 6 masters in a book with 10 chapters will propagate 120 obsolete masters. 2000% increase of unneeded masters! confusing – text styles synchronize, masters propagate. Two different processes are executed with the same command; self limiting – Books concept should help manage complex publications but complex publications are precisely the kind of job where the current synchronization shortcomings are the most crippling. I’d say all the above are no-nos, and that the Books feature is not up to the task. Of course, I could be wrong. As I have been before...
