Some current issues in Affinity Photo

[Mariusz_F]

macOS Sonoma v.14.0
Hardware acceleration ON
Problems description:

Problem that appeared in version 2.2.1:
1. Develop Persona does not remember the previous Basic/Preset that was used, so you have to select it again each time.
2. File/Export does not remember the last disk path where the file was saved, so you have to select it again each time.

Problems that have occurred since the beginning of version 2.0:
3. In Develop Persona, when changing the size of the Overlay Paint Tool cursor, its size on the screen changes only after clicking the mouse (and not while we change its size)
4. Selecting the Transform tab in the lower right tool window, changes the height of the entire lower tool window and it must be adjusted (increased) again every time.
5. Moving with the mouse the last saved macro from the library menu in the lower right tool window, moves the penultimate macro instead.
6. Running a saved macro from the library on the right side of the tools, sometimes requires clicking the mouse button several times, and using graphics tablet with a pen, it's almost impossible (tested on several types of graphic scree tablets, and changing the pen sensitivity does not eliminate this problem)

This is a change that was made by the Developers.  When an image is opened it will be using the Default Preset.

You should find once you've done an export, that path is remembered, until you change the path or quit the app.  But its been requested a number of times that we remember the file path, so i don't think this is new to 2.2.1

Not finding that here.  How are you changing the size, keys on the keyboard or via buttons on a tablet?

So are items being cut off when you click on the Transform tab? This isn't something i can replicate, i can click on the Transform tab and while it does change in size, all the options are present on screen.

Not find that here either.  If you can provide a screen recording that would be a help.

This is something we are aware of and do have logged with the Developers.

For future posts, please make separate posts for issue you're encountering as it makes them easier to keep track of and also report to the Developers

1. So far, the file path was remembered, and it is very good, but after the last update to version 2.2.1 it is no longer remembered.

2. Default Preset every time after opening a new file is not a good idea. Usually, on a given time, we work on one photo session for which we use the same predefined preset, so now each time we have to search and open it again, which takes unnecessary time and is annoying. It should work exactly the same as remembering the path to the file (point 1).
I don't understand why a good solution was changed to a worse one...

3. The problem occurs only in Develop Persona when resizing Overlay Paint Tool cursor using the belt on the Touchpad on Macbook Pro. In the Photo Persona it works well.

4. Selecting the Transform tab in the lower right tool window, Affinity changes the height of the entire lower tool window.  Window size is adjusted to the number of options in this tool tab, but when you go back to other tool tab with a larger number of options, eg. Library, window size must be adjusted (increased) manualy again every time. Again it takes time and is annoying... In my opinion window size should not change automatically, once it was set by the user. Other solution is auto adjustment, but also for the tool tabs with a large number of available options within this tab (up to max possible window size).

5. Please find screen recording attached.

6. Great! Hope it will be fixed soon.
