Staff MattP Posted January 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 29, 2016 Purpose: Fixes Status: Incremental bug-fix track on 1.4.1 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 (1.4.1) and should be used in preference to that build, if you are experiencing any of the problems listed below. Fixes - Fixed incorrect pixel preview resolution if the document was in multiples of 72dpi or 96dpi - Fixed incorrect results when changing DPI of an artboard document in some scenarios - Export of rectangular paths will not automatically convert them to rectangles in vector export if they have more than 4 points - Added the ability to name an export area in Export Persona with a name that includes folder path, e.g. "folder/image" as the name of your export area will export the item "image" into "folder", creating it if it didn't exist already. predick, JGD, vonBusing and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallreflection Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Any chance there's been an update/fix on guides moving with their assigned artboard? My UI work is quite hampered at the moment from that still. :( A_B_C and pier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hmmm!!! Did the oven fail to bake an Affinity Photo 1.4.2 Beta 1? It doesn't seem to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi Matt, in addition to the issues described by pentool and gear maker here https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/17591-adesigner-saved-styles-do-not-keep-their-settings/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/17599-paste-style-does-not-accurately-copy-style/ there seems to be a bug with creating styles from paths that have a stroke, but no fill assigned. Please have a look at my video. Path A has a stroke, but no fill assigned, and it encloses no area. Path B has stroke and fill assigned and encloses no area. Path C has a stroke, but no fill assigned, and it encloses an area (i.e. if closed, it would enclose an area). Style creation is possible only for B and C but not for A. :unsure: Hope that helps … Alex :) Styles_Bug.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_K Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi ABC This is something odd thing to do with the lines being exactly vertical or horizontal. As soon as you move the line slightly off axis you can create a style A_B_C 1 Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You’re right, Chris. It doesn’t have to do with the property of (virtually) enclosing an area, but with the strokes being exactly vertical or horizontal … oops, sorry for that, I didn’t take into account this other property … -_- But please note, that you cannot even apply a style to strokes that are exactly vertical or horizontal … :blink: Style_Bug_B.mov MattP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi A_B_C, We are aware of this. There's issues with vertical/horizontal lines in other circumstances too. This particular case with stroke's styles wasn't logged yet. A_B_C 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Just wanted to say that the new 'directory path' feature in the export persona is another big win for me :) Really looking forward to the next round of export features. Keep up the great work. paolo.limoncelli and MattP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the great work. I've been using this feature since its release. Simple but terrific, a great timesaver to fit complex projects and workflows.

Anyone who know, please tell me how to use this interesting feature. I've tried many ways to use it but still cannot find the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nravenlock Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 @predick I believe the issue is that you are attempting to export just the one, individual slice by using its individual export icon. You must instead select Export Selected at the bottom right of the Slices panel. Also, the file format (i.e. PNG) should not be stated in the Slices panel as an extension but should be set in the Export Options panel. Try this: Unchecking all the slices except for Desktop/art/test.png Rename it to Desktop/art/test Click Export Selected Thanks. predick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
