vjsouza Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Although "Glyph Browser" appears in Help, it does not appear anywhere in the interface or menu. It doesn't appear in Photo, Publisher, or Designer. To get special characters, I had to resurrect good old charmap.exe, which I couldn't even remember the name of! I expected more from version 2. At least a QR-Code Generator. I have to appeal to Inkscape to create QR-Codes. What a mishap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It's a kind of panel, and they're all controlled by the Window menu now, I think. vjsouza 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSE Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I love Affinity Photo. However, their 'help' and instructions for using the software are pathetic at best. PLEASE Affinity Photo, spend some time on your help menus. Users waste a lot of time with poorly written documentation (such as the Glyph Browser Not being available until toggled on under the 'Window menu item). vjsouza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should instruct using complete paths from the menus, not relative paths containing just the final part of the address. Anyone who reads Affinity's "helps" is left with the question: "How do I go step by step to get to this screen?" The authors fail to convert his thoughts into text so anyone can understand.

Robin VG Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 How i agree!!! It helps people making a living from 'how to' guides on youtube though, I suppose... Especially irritating if you've had to restart and the desktop reverts to original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
