Continuous slice export in Designer not functioning


Recommended Posts

Is this a bug introduced in 2.4.0?

I have regularly used the auto continuous output of slices and artboards via export persona in the past to allow collaborators to see where a job is at, or instantly update email components for use elsewhere for example.

I cannot however manage to get this to work at all today. Export slice - yes. Continuously - no.

I have tried app and mac restart, recreated wanted slices (as duplicated file so sometimes they fail), checked, unchecked and rechecked "continuous" and cannot think of anything else to make function. 

Is this just me? Frustrated at having to manually export via Export or revisit Export persona to select and export.

Hi @Like, would like more if…,

This is working for me in v2.4.0 running on Monterey so unsure if there is a specific M1 or Sonoma issue here.

Yep that's a beautiful demonstration of exactly what's no longer happening here and the process I have enjoyed. The M1 chip seems to feature in a lot of serious performance issues (particular PDF export and transparency issues), but this export was fine in previous versions and has been in regular use for years… so Sonoma (maybe)?

Have tested on latest Beta 2.4.0 (2301) and the same result.

Hopefully, someone else can test using Sonoma to confirm if they experience the same issue to rule Sonoma in or out of the equation...

I take it Sonoma was a recent update on your M1 and this feature was working with the previous version of your OS on the same M1 machine?

This seems to be a "specific file" issue. I have created a couple of new files similarly to Hangman and it's all good. Checked with my work partner on identical equipment and he said his is behaving as it should. So seems I have a "problem" file. Will try and resolve that issue tomorrow. 

Not a bug… just a glitch I hope.

This is not a bug but as hoped above a glitch in the file, don't know where or why, but updates to both Affinity and OS have occurred since original file creation in February. 

Fixed by creating new file, importing colour palette from old doc - important as global colours - then cutting and pasting content into new file. Happily back on track.
