Hi there. I updated to the latest 1.9.1 in Affinity Designer. I added a layer. I searched in the Stock Images and clicked on an image to grab it and slide it into the layer. It is the only layer, a new design. I see the green icon with the plus sign. I let go and nothing. I've tried it with different photos from Unsplash, Pexels and Pixabay but no way to get any results. I've searched here. I've searched Google. Nothing. I've tried some video tutorials but they don't help. This is my last result. I could really use your help. Talk to me like I am an idiot because I am not that savvy. I don't use it every single day. Thank you.

Hi, when i save a project as .affinity in dropbox on a iMac and i open it on my other MBP the font sizes doesn't seem to fit neatly in my textboxes. Font size is the same? But they pop out the boxes as if they where larger. what could be wrong? Cheers

I am running MacOS Sierra 10.12.2 and using Affinity Designer 1.5.4 I made a very silly mistake in that I got so carried away with the design that I forgot to save until I had filled the memory buffer to a point when Designer will not let me save the file. It offer the File/Save window and when I press the blue Save button it turns white and the filename greys out and everything locks. If I do a Force Quit then the file will restore but the same problem happens again and I am totally locked. The problem is that there are no warnings of the memory being full and no way of backing out of this situation without losing all my work, let alone saving a part of it. I know that this is a basic mistake but there are no warnings and no way of saving the work. Such a pity when the product is so good otherwise. I suppose that I will have to lose everything and start again.
