Help pages missing some options in Preferences > General

[Brian_J]

The Help pages are missing some of the available options in Preferences > General. There is no mention of the following General Preferences setting, as well as others:

Prefer metafile to raster when pasting from external application

These are the help pages I'm referring to:

https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Workspace/preferences.html
https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/Workspace/preferences.html
https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/pages/Workspace/preferences.html

Hi, I've never heard of this setting before, perhaps it's a Windows-only setting. But regardless, good catch, it should be documented.

Cheers

Yes, it is.

I hope Serif is able to update the Preferences help pages to include all preferences.

It would be helpful if the preference description was placed in front of the explanation in the help pages. It would make it easier to quickly find the preference setting you're looking for when viewing help.

For example:

• Reopen document on startup: Choose whether to restore the last session when launching application.
• Documents open in a new floating window: Choose whether documents open in a floating window separate from the app's main window.

And a bit more detailed information would be helpful for some of the preferences.

Hi Brian,

I have logged this to be improved in the future.

Thanks
