MOVE TOOL / SELECTING OBJECTS


Recommended Posts

I'm confused. For sure I didn't see that problem in Affinity 1, because I just switched to 2 after using 1 for years. There is something wrong about selecting object inside of other objects. And I don't see patter here. I just sometimes can't select objects inside of other object if it doesn't have color inside. Strange.

Not sure how you made the circle originally - or why this happens (probably a bug) - but I discovered this.

  • Select the circle
  • Activate the node tool (A)
  • Select this node, right click it and select Close curve

Then it works in Affinity Designer 2.0.0. Other programs let you click through (tested it with your file).

 1) You have completely wrecked the layers panel, Serif.

2) I recommend Reddit groups instead of this forum. Not the same few bot-like users replying to everything, a wider representation of users, fewer fanboys, more qualified users. In short, better!

3) I was here to report bugs and submit improvement requests for professional work professionally in a large setup and to bring a lot of knowledge from the world, i.e. professional product development, web- and software development, usability, user experience design and accessibility. I actually know what I am talking about!

BUT! We are phasing out Designer and Affinity in 2022 Q1 - and replacing it with feature complete and algorithmically competent alternatives.
Publisher is unsuitable for serious use, and was never adopted.

@François R Thank You Francois. Yeah it seems like a bug and I had to work around it. Still occasionally I reproduce that problem. Actually working inside of objects (when I use objects as a masks) is still problematic for me. Especially when I try to to use any "Boolean Operations" (add/subtract etc). Every time when I'm creating a logotype and than I want to "add" everything to one shape... it is very clunky process (I'm about to submit another bug related to that).

The issue "Unable to select child objects inside Open Curves with no fill" (REF: AF-464) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.4.0.2252".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
