Hi, upon starting the program the assets panel always shows the iOS10 category. I would like to be able to set a default assets category though, since I almost exclusively work in one category with our company assets. Is this something that's on the roadmap, or am I missing something big? Thanks in advance, Maarten

As discussed here, the Cog Tool 'Teeth' control on the Context toolbar seems to have a maximum value of 48 in AD on Windows beta 1.5, but not in AD on Mac.

Hi guys, as I have reported in other posts, after 1.5.0.19, Designer were crashing whenever I took my Wacom Bamboo Pen to use (until then I have been using the Wacom tablet without its pressure sensibility, but no crashes). But it haven’t ocurred me to test the application with the Wacom on my laptop built-in display, and vois-là, it at last recognized the tablet pressure: I could use the vector brush as expected, though the cursor became the default system arrow and the pen button set to pan the image could only pan vertically. But as I changed the application and the wacom tablet mapping to another display, Designer crashes after some pen strokes - some subtle changes, because the first time it ocurred to me, Designer crashes just on hovering the pen over the application window, before any strokes. I tried many tablet mapping combination without any change in such scenario, but could use the tablet again on the external monitor when I left the “Use Windows Ink” option unselected; but then again no pressure sensitivity. I cannot say if its a problem in the latest pen & ink improvements of Windows 10, nor if its related to the corrupted wacom driver mentioned in the 1.5.0.23 beta release fixes, though I have re-downloaded and reinstalled the wacom bamboo drivers many times, and pressure sensitivity is working in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Clip Studio even when the Windows Ink option is unselected. Intel Drivers also checked and up to date. The crash report is attached. Any ideas? I hope this report could contribute to the application excellence! Here is my hardware and system description: Affinity Designer beta build 1.5.0.23 on Asus K84C notebook Windows 10 Pro Build 14393.222 Intel Core i3-2330M 2.20GHz CPU 4,00 GB RAM - 64-bit Wacom Bamboo CTL-470 (driver 5.3.5-3) db6415ba-f1b5-47d7-aaa8-0369a171b864.dmp

Got a crash while updating my Nvidia Driver to the latest (372.90 -> 373.06) while Designer was running (on the second screen).

And hello again. I discovered something in the Pixel Persona again. I am unsure how to call it, maybe it is expected but for Affinity Photo it might be to inaccurate? paint a line in Pixel Persona cut a slice out of it paste it multiple times to the same place back Effect: This does change the "information" of the image and it "grows" the line "thicker". Expected: It does always look the same. But this might come from the automatic calculation for the lighter pixel at the broders. Another thing I already reported in the past: (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22627-1506-pixel-persona-cutpaste-distortion/) If I cut and paste the slice to the same location it renders white borders around it and it will be seen if the image gets exported to PNG. It does NOT get exported if one creates a new document and selects "Photo" but it DOES get exported if I change another document to Photo afterwards. Attached some small videos. 2016-10-07_Pixel.zip

Click here to download the latest beta Status: Public Beta Purpose: Stability Requirements: None As this is a beta release, it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.5 cannot be opened in 1.4, which means files created with the Windows beta cannot be opened in the Mac AppStore version of Designer, instead you will need the latest macOS beta. We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
