  • Staff

Purpose: Fixes

Status: Incremental bug-fix track on 1.4 - Release Candidate

Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer

Mac App Store: Not submitted

Download: Here

 

To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it.

 

This is an Incremental Bug-Fix release - it should be considered more stable than the current MAS version (1.4) and should be used in preference to that build, if you are experiencing any of the problems listed below.

 

Fixes

 

- Select All improved for Artboard documents (digs into Artboards)

- Deleting an Artboard will now prompt the user to ask if they want to keep the contents of the Artboard
- Selections containing Artboards will now attempt to lock their children during transforms by default

- PDF Import and Export Improvements
- Divide geometry operation functioned incorrectly on curves which used corners
- SVG import now understands the fallback font list
