Laganama Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hi, In the whole 1.8.2 Affinity collection I can't add or remove object to/from already selected objects by shift-dragging the selection marquee. The preference option "Select object when intersects…" doesn't make change.

thomaso Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Shift-dragging for Affinity objects doesn't work the same way like for symbols in the macOS finder. To add objects to a selection in Affinity you need to shift-click the single objects – or drag without modifier key for the entire selection, the pre-selected included. Then also the ticked intersection preference has an effect (and/or can be de/activated temporarily with control-drag) By the way, also option and command key work different (vice-versa) than in macOS: In Affinity command-drag duplicates an object, option modifies an action (depending on the tool). It's a pity but no bug. Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laganama Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yes, but this wasn't earlier. I guess in 1.8.1 (or 1.7) this worked as I described and in other apps too. Shift-dragging added/removed objects to/from selection. Maybe there is some logic behind this new principle, but I can't get it now. I find this new behaviour not intuitive.

Staff Gabe Posted April 3, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi both, This works as expected on my end in 1.8.3 With no objects selected, Shift + Drag selects the objects With a mix of both selected and deselected objects, Shift + drag selects new objects and deselects the pre-selected ones With only selected objects, Shift + Drag deselects objects. thomaso and Laganama 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 @Laganama Just to clarify, there actually was a shift-selection issue in 1.8.2 that is supposed to have been solved in 1.8.3 (just released). For example, one of the bug fixes in the 1.8.3 beta cycle was this one: On 3/26/2020 at 3:38 AM, AdamW said: Shift-Invert selection behaviour with the Move Tool was broken Please report back if the issue you are describing is not resolved by 1.8.3 AdamW and Laganama 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laganama Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thank you guys, this issue is fixed in 1.8.3. Everything works as usual. thomaso 1 Quote Affinity Suite 2.4.2 | iMac 5K (2017) 24GB, macOS Monterey 12.6.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
