i love Affinity designer but it's instable and not very handy

[duir tattoo]

hi

In the opposite of all tattoo artists I know, I work with affinity designer instead of procreate. and I show your tool to other tattooists because I have much more controll of every line for my stencils.

• today, affinity designer for iPad crashed repeately when I tried to move object from a layer to another.
• further, I saved the design inside the drawing, but it didn't save my latest changes at all. I always have to leave the actual drawing, save the file and open it again.
• the settings of tools is at the wrong place - in the middle of the screen, where i have often my palm...please put this on top of the screen.
• I would also appreciate very much, if the tools could be moved to the left side of the screen - I draw with my right hand...

thanks, regards

You can do this already in settings🙂 You might like to check out the beta version which has many minor bug fixes. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/150841-affinity-designer-customer-beta-1102-11016/

@duir tattooWe are looking into reports of issues when moving layers that seems to be affecting some users. Can you expand some more on the saving issues?

Well, I tried to find the same bug - but it worked. Maybe because AF Designer crashed after.

I have two another question: When I close a new drawing and I save it, it‘s automatically called „unknown…“ and it‘s saved in iCloud. Then I renamed the file, saved again, but the name in iCloud stayed „unknown…“. Do you know this issue? I saw this several times.

When I click on a file .afdesign in iCloud, Affinity Photo starts and ends with a mistake (look at the image)

Did you just update to iOS 15.0.2?

[duir tattoo]

iOS 15.1 

Bit the issue with renaming was already with older versions of iOS.

Does the iOS version have lots of issues?

 

[duir tattoo]

No, works fine and stable (I use it with iPad pro 12.9, 2018 and iPhone 12)

and I don‘t know, if these issues with AF Designer are really because of this iOS-Version

this is another issue about saving files:

I made a design and called it "JAM" then I renamed it to "JAM 2"

when I click "Save", it just save the file with the old name "JAM"

in Finder, there is the design with the old name...

Also, I made a copy of this file "JAM 2 - Kopie"; it is not in the Finder. How is Aff Designer syncing? Even several days later, it's not in iCloud and the "JAM" isn't renamed. I opend and closed Aff Designer several times, pressed "save" repeatedly.

Thanks, regards
