J L Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm getting well into using Affinity now, and I'm really enjoying it. However ...one thing that frustrates me is that when I'm typing copy into a text box it's really slow ...I type a sentence then sit back and watch it appear - it's just like watching the old teleprinters if anyone else remembers them! I'm not sure if it's my PC or the app that's causing it? Although my machine is a few years old and and not high-end, it transpires it still meets and exceeds the minimum requirements (as stated on this site) for running the software. I now work in 96 dpi so images will move around faster, but I'm not sure what to do about text? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Cheers.

GarryP Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Text editing can sometimes be quite slow in Publisher and the developers are aware of it. E.g. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/90298-very-sluggish-performance-with-lots-of-text-loaded/ Have you tried the latest Beta version of the software? (Work on a copy of your document just in case you need to go back to the pre-beta version.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J L Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Thanks both, no not tried the Beta version - might have a look at it. Are you an ex-user then Cecil? lol I've been wondering about investing in a new machine. I normally use a desktop, but I'm wondering about trying a lappy. I'm quite take with this ...Huawei Matebook X Pro 2019. I know it's not the latest version, but it seems it was highly rated last year (not sure who by exactly!), and it's a lot cheaper than the latest version with the main difference being an i7 processor in 2020 and i5 in 2019 - and only 8gb of RAM - and a 14" screen - problem? Any thoughts from anyone are welcome - especially if you are using one for Affinity! Cheers J L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
