Hi, Affinity is otherwise excellent, but it hangs whenever I select all or a large subset of items in a small document with MANY thousand small vector objects. I have the document as a pdf - but I think it was originally produced by CAD software. Any help? or suggestions? G

While working on a flyer and making text corrections and formatting changes, Affinity Designer frequently hangs when trying to drag create a new text frame. At that point nothing in the program works. Sometimes after a long wait the program will catch up, sometimes a reboot is needed losing all interim changes since the last auto save. Any suggestion ideas are appreciated, lulgi

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue where both Affinity Designer and Photo stay at "Not Responding" for about 3 minutes when starting up the program and THEN it opens fully. Basically it is super slow to open. This is a clean install as I just bought the software and there's nothing else running on the PC and the PC is still new and running well so it's clearly a problem with the software. I already tried changing the performance options (Renderer to the dedicated GPU instead of the iGPU which is the default for some reason. Also tried WARP). As for how well the program runs once it opens it's, meh, it runs jerky, zoom animations are slow and panning is super slow (This is NOT 60fps as advertised, more like 5fps) BUT if I use the touchscreen it works quite well, much better than the touchpad. I tried the software on a Mac and it was amazing but on Windows it kinda sucks so far. My Specs are: Windows 10 Home (1903 / 18362.145) Intel i7-8550U RAM 16GB iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 dGPU: Nvidia MX150 EDIT: It appears that panning and zoom have improved somewhat! But sadly it still takes super long to start and still says "Not responding".

Now this is working. Don't know what changed other than I have used it for a few hours. --------------------- This problem is only showing up in 1.3.1.26723, not in 1.3.2 or any other version before. a. If I right click on a jpg on my desktop and select Open with... Affinity Designer Beta 1.3.1.26723 it pauses for about 5 seconds then I get 'Verifying "Affinity Designer Beta.app"...', forever (it hangs). b. If I right click a jpg anywhere using Finder and select Open with... Affinity Designer Beta 1.3.1.26723 it pauses for about 5 seconds then I get 'Verifying "Affinity Designer Beta.app"...', forever. c. If I right click a .afdesign file using Finder and select Open with... then Affinity Designer Beta 1.3.1.26723 is not even offered as a choice. d. If I click Open or Open recently from within Affinity Designer Beta 1.3.1.26723 then it opens with no problem. e. If I right click either a jpg or afdesign file from Path Finder (third party replacement for Finder) then it opens with no problem. I have tried a complete reset (ctrl open), no effect on this problem. I only updated to Yosemite 10.10.4 (from 10.10.1) 3 days ago. 27" iMac late 2009, Yosemite 10.10.4
