No reset possible (holding down ctrl key)


Recommended Posts

Hi there!

Because there were just a few problems with text styles in a new document, I wanted to do a reset and restart Affinity Publisher Beta .556 with the ctrl key pressed. Unfortunately this doesn't work: Neither a reset dialog appears nor does Publisher start.

Interestingly, this works with Designer .555 and Photo .555 just fine.

Am I the only one?

Cheers, Volker

Works fine for me, Volker.

Eventually it does work at my end, too. But the behaviour is different from the retail version: When I start APub 1.7.3 with the ctrl key pressed, the reset dialog pops up. But with APub 1.8.0.556 nothing happens on the screen at all. Just the app icon appears in the task bar. Only when I click on it, the reset dialog appears. This might have confused me...

That is exactly how all the versions of all the Affinity products have always worked for me, Volker, since at least 1.6.5. Hold Ctrl and click to start the application. Look at the Windows task bar and wait for the icon. Click the icon. Then release Ctrl.

I always remember them as Volker stated and there seems to be a bit of a change. They used to pop right up with the reset screen

Now it works as Walt stated. Either way it is not a problem here 😁

Now I've checked it with four different machines here at my end, two running Windows 10 and two running Windows 8.1: ADesigner and APhoto (beta + retail) and APub (retail) all do behave the same way, while APub beta on Windowa 10 (only) does react differently.

Now that I know, we can move on... There are more pressing issues with APub than this ;-)
