Custom Affinity app Touchbar keeps disappearing


Recommended Posts

I love using the Touchbar on my Mac especially with Affinity Designer. It lessens the pain with my left/right hand as I can forgo using keyboard shortcut keys or that few seconds travel from a mouse or pen tablet to pressing it on UI tools.

 

I noticed that the Touchbar disappear when I switch to another app. When I switch back, only the Functions Keys will appear. I have to close the app, restart. If I hide Affinity Designer or switch to another app, I lose the access to the custom Touchbar functions. 

 

When I switch to the Beta version of Affinity Designer, the custom Touchbar is there. So I just keep using the beta app most of the time. But doing this also risking my projects in getting lost in case of bugs due to being beta.

 

I've used the latest stable version of Mac OS 11.4. I've also tried switching to the MacOS beta 11.5 to see if the problem get fixed but still encountering the same problem.

 

As I said, I love using the Touchbar and hoping it won't get away soon. I just find it more accessible and lessened the pain with my hands when working on my design projects.

Hey wiredfractal,

I can't seem to reproduce this with the default Touch Bar - can you screenshot your Touch Bar settings so I can try and replicate this?

Please include these settings in the screenshot as well as anything else you might think it useful.

- Touch Bar shows

- Customise Control Strip

I also tried turning on/off the "Enable TOuchbar Support on Affinity Designer Preference pane. Hope the team figures it out. Let me know if you need some diagnostic files on my end. For now, will keep using the beta as the touchbar controls has become integral to my Affinity Designer workflow.
