Three issues

[Foolix]

Hello, I have recently encountered three issues:

Firstly, In Affinity Photo the "add" keyboard shortcut of the magic wand tool is not working as expected. I have raised this issue in this thread:

Secondly: (This issue does not always occur but sometimes it I believe it has :/ I cannot currently recreate it. ) In Affinity Publisher: When I export a PDF, choose a print preset (Like "PDF - Für Druck" (German)) I am sometimes for no clear reason unable to select "include bleed area" (or whatever the english translation for "Inklusive Anschnittbereich" is) in the extended export options menu. Then I can only enable the bleed marks through the (parent) basic export dialogue.

Thirdly: This is not necessarily a bug but I find it unfortunate: When I open a PDF document's page in Affinity Photo, the bleed area is not included.

To the secon issue: I was now able to recreate it: I opened a file in AP, pressed export and chose

Hi Foolix,
 

1. The RMB Add shortcut does work, but you have to hold down the RMB and then use the LMB to drag the selection over the part you want to add and then release the LMB first, before releasing the RMB.

Unfortunately this is a side effect of Windows having one less shortcut key than Mac, so we've have to try and work around it in creative ways.

2. This is correct behaviour. If your document doesn't have a Bleed value set then this option remains disabled. However as you're using Photo there isn't a way to actually set the bleed values from within the app, however that option is still useful if your document (created in Designer or Publisher for example) already contained them so it was left. in.

3. I'll pass this one onto development as an improvement.
