Application: Affinity Designer 2.4.1

Operating system and version: Windows 10 (22H2)

Hardware acceleration: on

 

Context:

I use embedded files as an equivalent for Smart Objects from Photoshop for my mockups.

 

Problem:

Unexpected behavior of embedded files in embedded files. The problem occurred after updating to the latest version.

My Setup:

  • Mockup-file [File 1] (current version - V 2.4.1)
  • contains embedded File [File 2] (maybe older version - V 1.x?) [I'm not sure if this is relevant]
  • contains embedded another Designer-file [File 3] (current version - V 2.4.1)

 

File 1:

File 2:

File 3:

Problem a:

The displayed Artboard of File 3 changes after reopening the File 2 from the layers panel of File 1. After testing, I can confirm that it selects the last possible Artboard.

After:

Problem b:

After I save the main file [File 1], close the software and reopen it, File 3 is not embedded anymore in File 2, it's just linked. The document setting is set to embed documents.

After:

I have attached screenshots of the setup and the unexpected result. Do you need more context or the files to reproduce the error?

 
Thanks for the support,
Max

Hi @MaxWunderlich,

I've tried to replicate this and haven't been able to as of yet.  Would you mind attaching your files and I'll try again with those.

I know we do have a similar issue logged that affects multipage PDF files, you place the multipage PDF, then duplicate it and set the duplicate to display Page 5, when you Save, Close and reopen the file, the duplicate then displays page 1 of the PDF.

Hi @MaxWunderlich,

I still can't replicate either issue you mention.  

The file stays as Embedded when i save and close it.  When i double-click on the Test Motiv to open it and change the colour of the text, it's still displaying the correct artboard for me.

Would you be able to do a screen recording of the issue, just so i can be 100% sure i'm following the correct workflow?
