Frozen Death Knight Posted May 18, 2024 Author Posted May 18, 2024 Got a couple more test cases with some artefacts. Some are similar to other issues reported, but also a few new ones. None of them crashed however. Expand Stroke Bug 2.afpub Quote
Meliora spero Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Looks exactly like the old pre-v1.8 expand stroke Serif algorithms that caused widespread frustration. earl_grey 1 Quote Serif, have you done something foolish and recruited the usability specialist you advertised for this summer... internally? If so, let your customers know. Be transparent. I see no evidence that a properly trained UX professional is involved in Affinity - on the contrary - and if you continue your work without usability expertise, it is an insult to all your customers.
Frozen Death Knight Posted May 23, 2024 Author Posted May 23, 2024 @MEB I found a curve where Expand Stroke just refuses to expand the shape, even if it says that it has in the History panel. Expand Stroke Not Working on Curve.afpub Quote
Staff MEB Posted May 23, 2024 Staff Posted May 23, 2024 Hi @Frozen Death Knight, Thanks for the file. I've reproduced this here. Can you please confirm if you have used the Outline Tool on that line please? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

Can you please confirm if you have used the Outline Tool on that line please? No Contour Tool, Line Width Tool, curve profile, etc. Though, I think I figured out the true cause of this. Look at the Appearance panel in this image: Apparently the curve has double strokes and one is set to 0 pt. When I switch to the other stroke Expand Stroke started to work. It also created double Curve Layers upon activation unlike before which did none of the sort. There is nothing on that layer at the bottom because the thickness was set to 0 points, so I guess that should count as a bug as well. That means that if you try to expand a stroke set to 0 it will refuse to do so, even if there are other strokes on that curve that should be expanded. It's all depending on your stroke selection basically. MEB 1 Quote
Staff MEB Posted May 23, 2024 Staff Posted May 23, 2024 Thanks @Frozen Death Knight. Seems there's quite a few way to broke this. I will have to check against what's already logged. I've been able to create one with Contour Tool which also doesn't expand or simply breaks the shape (varies depending on the line), Thanks for your help/support.
