loukash Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Why are you comparing beta versions in the first place? Ther is no current public beta. The regular release versions are the relevant ones to check.

The regular release versions are the relevant ones to check. I'm not sure what you mean when you say there is no current public beta, there is, it's 2.0.3.316 and is the reason for this specific forum, i.e., the macOS Beta Forum. I tested in 1.7.3 and 1.10.6 which are both fine, I also tested in 2.0.0 and 2.0.0.316 which both demonstrate the issue. I'm still forced to use 1.7.3 for commercial work because there are still unfortuntatly too many bugs in 1.10.6 and 2.0.0 and subsequently my version of 1.10.6 is still the Beta version as I can't afford to formally update 1.7.3 to 1.10.6 owing to said unreliability and bugs. I could have reported this in the v2 forum but it seemed to make more sense to report it here since it's still an issue in the latest public Beta so I'm not specifically comparing Beta Versions, I'm making a simple comparison between v1 and v2 (using the set up I have as explained above), v1 is fine, v2 there's a bug.

You can use both: Simply rename v1.7.3 e.g. to "Affinity Photo 173.app", download and install the regular v1.10.6, and both can live happily along. It will even share the same preferences and everything. Or instead of renaming, put v1.7.3 in a subfolder. You can even move it to another volume and launch from there. For example, I still have v1.8.4 that I bought via MAS installed on a Mountain Lion partition, as those are the last compatible versions for Mountain Lion. From there, they will launch on any of my other bootable partitions up to Catalina just fine: The only caveat is that you can't normally launch them with v1.10 at the same time because the executables have the same name. (I think this can be worked around by launching them via Terminal but I'd have to look up how that works.)

Quote […] The purpose of this beta is to give you an opportunity to try the fixes and report on any possible regressions we may have introduced since the current release 2.0.0. This forums are not for reporting bugs found in the release builds or for telling us what is not yet fixed in this beta.

My point here is that 1.10.6 still has a lot of bugs so I wouldn't even consider using it for day to day commercial work until these bugs are fixed though my assumption is that now v2 has been released they won't be. I can't imagine Serif are going to expend valuable resources in that area. V2 currently also suffers from far too many bugs to be reliable for commercial work, hence the reason for still using 1.7.3 as it is stil by far the most stable and reliable release to date. Once the numerous bugs have been fixed in V2 and it proves to be reliable and stable, I will migrate accordingly but I currently have over 3,000 pieces of artwork which I rely on day to day for commercial work and I can not run the risk of issues and why would I when I have zero issues in 1.7.3... loukash 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @Patrick Connor or someone else can move this post then as I've clearly posted it in the wrong forum... Regardless, the issue still exists in 2.0.3 which was the simple point I was trying to make regardless of posting it in the wrong forum. I think we're going off at a bit of a tangent here now, so enough said... loukash 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
