Pathfinder operations bug

[Athos]

The pathfinder operations: divide and add have several bug.
When I work in few simple shapes everything going fine.
When I accumulate more shapes the divide operations produce a huge quantity of tiny little paths in the border of every cut
In the last screenshot I try to select same color (green) and merge the paths again with an add operation but still remain strange problems between the shapes.

Welcome to the forums @Athos

There is no “pathfinder” functionality in the Affinity applications.
The “Divide” and “Add” functions (and others) are Geometry functions.

That aside, the problem you have seen has been reported many times and the developers have said that they will look into it, E.g:

As far as I know there is no good general-purpose ‘workaround’ for this issue.

Quando isso será resolvido? Este problema é antigo e não foi resolvido até agora. É muito chato continuar fazendo essas correções manualmente ao fazer até mesmo formas simples usando o Pathfinder.

My guess is that it will be "resolved" when it is "resolved", if it is ever "resolved".
Serif don’t usually give answers to this sort of question so there’s no real point in asking.
All we need to do is wait and see.

Note: As mentioned in an earlier post, there is no "Pathfinder" in the Affinity applications.
