A_B_C Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Awesome … thanks, Matt and everyone in the team! Have a nice weekend … :) P.S. Since you are preparing the app store update and I don’t know if that’s already noted, let me just add, that the German localisation for the new (pretty cool) zoom function is incomplete (bottom help text) … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasperD Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Same comment as I had for AP Beta: seeing a lower version beta than what is already current (1.3.2) is highly unsettling for me! That´s saying nothing about appreciation for both products of course: I didn't purchase them for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted August 1, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 1, 2015 Bonjour ThierryMbp15, Bienvenue sur les forums Affinity. Fonctionnalités d'impression professionnelles sera disponibles plus tard (y compris les tons directs). Vérifie la feuille de route de l'Affinity Designer pour plus d'informations. vonBusing 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieB Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hi, I have been having a play around with the type in the latest Beta version and I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when you select the font Zapf Dingbats from the font menu and type some characters, it doesn't appear on the document page, the characters being replaced by oblong squares, this font is a TruType version. I was adding a blob (lower case l) to the beginning of the text to replace the font's blob (alt 8 •) I created the same text in Illustrator and saved it as a pdf which, if you open it in Affinity Designer renders the font correctly. Further investigations revealed that the Adobe PostScript version (ITC Zapf Dingbats) shows up in the font menu and renders properly. Does using a font manages make any difference, I'm using Suitcase Fusion 6 on This is only a minor glitch, overall the app is great, even quickly added a radial fill to the Zapf Dingbats blob at the beginning of a run of text. The more I use the more I like about it, just a few more Pro additions like bleed and Crop marks. Also I can't wait for the Publisher beta! Just want to get rid of Adobe CC! Many years ago, I used to use Artworks on an Acorn RiscPC, and was one of the beta testers, Affinity reminds me of some of the things you could do easily which were ahead of what Illustrator could do at that time.

Shmoo Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 - Added ability to zoom to 100% by double-clicking the Zoom Tool's icon How can you not love those Affinity guys.. This is what I was looking for... Next, the ability to resize the layer thumbnails. I always like it if you can make them a little bigger. Hardware Mac mini (late-2014), 2.6GHz, 16GB RAM, Intel Iris 5100 Graphics iPad Air 16GB WhiteSoftware I love, and you should get :wink:Affinity Desinger - Affinity Photo - Sketch - Coda - CodeKit - iA Writer - Dropbox - 1Password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasmurphy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Bug: Dropping any files from Forklift on the icon in the dock does not work any more. With the release it works and with finder it also works. Any ideas? Thanks for any reply, Torsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Ghz Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 - Zoom Tool now zooms in/out during mouse drag about the drag start location. Zooming to a rectangle is still available by holding Alt/Option Not sure what this means? Can’t seem to get anything new going on. Does this work with a Wacom?

Staff MEB Posted August 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 4, 2015 00Ghz, Select the Zoom Tool, press and hold the mouse over the object you want to zoom and then drag it (the mouse) to zoom in/out. This wasn't available previously. ronnyb 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi1911 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hello, I have downloaded the dmg file from top of the page several times, but Affinity Designer still don´t work on El Capitan Beta. Somewhere in this Forum I have read that there should be a Update in Appstore too a few days ago but my Appstore don´t show Affinity Designer for Update :(Help please. I have to fix a project by today and I can´t work on it :( Sorry for my bad English :ph34r: Greetz Mimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Ghz Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Ok. Not sure why it doesn’t work with something like Cmd + Alt like in AI/PS. Using Wacom. And also a very nasty bug: 1. Open AD 2. Make a rectangle and drag to define size. 3. While dragging to define also press Alt + Space to zoom and click right away. 4. The eye dropper loop appears and gets stuck and the cursor disappears and I can’t do anything anymore????? :mellow: :blink: :wacko: :o UI Designer, CG Artist Macbook Pro 15" 2014 2.5 Ghz, 750M https://www.behance.net/VladMafteiuScai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted August 5, 2015 Author Staff Share Posted August 5, 2015 @00Ghz - hmmm, that doesn't sound very good... I'll look at all of this today and try to sort out whatever is going on @mimi1911 - If you've downloaded and are running the Affinity Designer Beta available from the first page of this thread then it will include the fix for OS X El Capitan Beta. There is no App Store update to fix the issue and there will not be until we have submitted this beta and it has been approved - which we can only do when the beta is fully tested.
