p_mac Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Just trying out new beta, noticed that the long press does not bring up a menu where you can deselect, copy, cut, etc. Tried it with both Apple core and Serif. Double tap and triple tap work as they are supposed to. Does this feature need to be turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Long-press works for me. Somewhat counterintuitively the menu doesn’t appear until I lift my finger, but I see the same behaviour in the retail version.

Not working for me, (I always had to lift finger too before menu appeared, but yes a little counterintuitive ).

AlainP Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 In the beta version it works only with certain tools. And yes, the menu should pop up before you remove your finger, the way it's working right now makes it weird. -- Window 11 - 32 gb - Intel I7 - 8700 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 -- iPad Pro 2020 - 12,9 - 256 gb - Apple Pencil 2 -- iPad 9th gen 256 gb - Apple Pencil 1 -- Macbook Air 15" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, long press will work in Selection persona. This issue is related to the Tool selected not the Persona. In attached image you can see long press menu in ‘Selection' persona but to have it appear you need to have the 'Move' tool active. In the release version the pop up menu appears regardless of which tool is active.🙂 Affinity iPad Student 1 M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

p_mac Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Please, please fix this. I don’t consider this a bug, but something that it seems is a deliberate change. Long press with the ‘Move’ tool enabled is not only inconvenient, but it has created an ability when pressing with a finger can accidentally move the active layer, as has happened, to me anyway. This needs to be considered. Please put the ability to make the ‘long press’ as it was before. One should not have to waste time to enable the move tool and/or realign a layer because it was accidentally moved in the process.

p_mac Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 AP Photo beta 1.9.0.215 - RC1 Long press still requires that the ‘move tool’ be active before the pop-up menu works. Is this going to be the status quo? please please fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, I am hoping that you will reconsider the long press issue. In many cases when a selection has been done, the tool that is active is the hand/view tool. For example, when one is filling in part of an image, after the Fill commands has completed, the program itself is using the hand/view tool. The only way to deselect is to switch to another tool. There are many other cases where I have a selection and want to deselect and the only way to do this with the long press is to switch to a tool other then the view tool, or change to another persona. I am wondering why this action does not work for all tools. Please see the video I posted that explains this issue. Edited February 9, 2021 by p_mac Additional information.

p_mac Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Long press in Hand Tool has been reinstated in the latest beta. It is now working for all tools. Let the devs know that this is much appreciated. Chris B, Andy Somerfield and Alfred 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
