Assets-Panels not working at CLICK with Trackpad or WACOM

[Bobby-Alpha]

(AFF-PH / OSX @ El Cap + Sierra + High-S / WACOM Intuos A4 + Magic Trackpad Apple)

its the first bug I have detected in Aff-Ph 1.9, because I'm just heading on changing from Adobe to Aff. So I have to discover the Apps inbetween, while still working with Adobe.
If I click onto the open windows of Assets-Panels, it folds out to show the presets and the photo-mini, but clicking to get the function-menue is most the time without any results. Sometimes you cant get the menue with 5-6-7-8 clicks, another time you need to make a verrrrrrrrrrry slow double-click, anothertime you still get nothing ! This is with the WACOM. With the Magic-Trackpad from Apple its slightly better, but its always a Toto-Lotto you get it or you don't !

I'm a very experienced OSX-User, working with MAC Apps + Systems since 1990 on. I have tryed it all, mouse behavior, Wacom Prefs a.s.o. no result !

Even PRAM-delete does not make the issue better.

The only thing is, you downgrade to 1.8.6 and the issue seems to be corrected !

 

Aff should roll-out a 1.9.3  bugfix-update verry soon, thank you Serife !

Hi @Bobby-Alpha,

I'm not really sure what you mean by "function" menu. Clicking/Double clicking on an asset does nothing. You can either drag-drop them on the canvas, or you can CTRL + Click /Right click to open the Rename/Delete dialog. 

[Bobby-Alpha]

Hy,

 

let me send a screenshoot, that you know, what exactly I mean.

The UID is in german, but this doesnt matter.

I can fold out the details of any asset-function (Anpassen in DE)

but I can not open the 2a-Window with a click for details in working.

Its only possible by the main app-menue or shortcuts (like cmd+U) a s o

This is intentional. We have changed the way that panel works in 1.9.1 as there were some bugs with the old behaviour. 

[Bobby-Alpha]

Hi,

I do not think, you have realy understand my description of the issue.

Please explain me, why Aff-Photo has got a very big menue with editing functions for pictures

standing there for pure fun without any function and behaviour ???????? I can not believe that !!!!!

 

-For what should be all this functions like *(

-How can I work with all these functions if not by click ??????????

-For what should be all this miniatures under the functions like *(2 ...any function ?????????

-Do these menues everything ?? And when, what and how to engage ?

-When the editing-window *(2a   do not stand in any context with the function *(1,

why can I click it with the mouse sometimes, sometimes not, but never with the WACOM and why does this work in 1.8.6 ???????

 

Hope getting a better answer than the last one

I think this gets lost in translation. Sorry. 

When you click once in the adjustment panel, it will open up your saved presets. You then need to select the preset you want to use. Before 1.9, clicking on the preset was automatically choosing the "default" preset. 

 

[Bobby-Alpha]

Yes, I know, and exactly these click into the presets does not open anything !!!!!

With luck I got the panel after 5-12x click or not, it is not reproducable,

sometimes it works, sometimes not. In 1.8.6 everything perfect.

The surface still not react to the click, thats the problem, like you have a too thick protection to your smartphone.

This is the only panel with this behaviour, all others working fine.

Does not have had such things in any other Apps all around my Mac.

What do you think ?

[Gabe]

Thanks. It does seem to be an issue affecting old macOS. It's fine from Catalina onwards. 

[Bobby-Alpha]

Oh thats no good news.

I had supposed, that Affinity doesn't be a Software-Manufacturer, who goes on in Updating with outdating elder OSX and MACS !!!!

We are talking about 3-5 years, not realy too old !

All elder MacPros and also iMacs a realy perfect and quick but not in the interesst of Apple, more like to sell new MACs, but they haven't.

The only thing, they still can sell are iPhones, all others are the same like 2012 or much tooo expensive. Who needs a new MacPro ?

But Softwaremanufacturer and Browser Open Sourcers like FF and GCrome are now able to make the elder MACS unworkable for Apple

the easy way, just not longer support elder OSX, and this was it !

As long as the good old MacPro 5.1 is the best and reliable machine, you can get for professional work, as long good software like Affinity

sholuld be working without any issue from El Capitan to Newest OSX and this is not any problem for all the Coder-Guys arround the world !

Catalina is not bulletproof and a pure nightmare for working with, never happened before at apple, and BigSur is still like a Beta until M1 is realy present.

The El Capitan was the last reliable OSX (the so called WINDOWS XP from Apple) after SL 10.6.8. Such OSX are not available every time,

more often every 8-10 years, forget the rest, too much money and installing work for so little benefits.

How often we all professionals should buy new Macs, all the big and small Apps like CCC, DefaultFolder, Suitcase and many more for new ?

How often we sould buy a new WACOM only because Wacom does not support older Tablets with newer Software therefore tablet-hardware

is all the same since 1990, only the cableplug has change from ADB via COM to USB. Nobody can tell me it's not possible to get a WACOM

from 1992 working on BigSure with the correct App. This is also a question of enviroment-protection and minimize of electronic-trash !

 

So Affinity go on change not do outdate a lot of elder MACS perfect working for Million Profs and Privats arround the world !

 

What do you think about all this ?

I'm happy, that you can reproduce it, so its not my MAC only :-)
