Dave s Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hello Can’t run this any longer. Worked fine for a day, now won’t start. I get the initial logo, then it dies. I’ve done a system restore and a system clean up and re-installed Affinity, but still won’t start. Any ideas? Best wishes Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted July 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2016 Possible Bug: with the Sliders on CMYK it is maxing out at 255 and not 100. Hi Kirknurse, It is actually possible to switch between CMYK Percentage (default setting) and a 8-bit value. With CMYK sliders set you can click the menu button to the top right of the Colour tab and select 'Percentage'. See my attached screenshot.

Staff Sean P Posted July 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2016 That is very peculiar. What OS and resolution are you using? Also could you attach the file that the issue occurs in to the thread please and then see if you get those options on a new document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted July 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm still getting both the 8-bit and Percentage options when I change the dropdown from Greyscale to CMYK. Could you close Affinity down and go to %appdata%\Serif\ and rename the Affinity Designer and Affinity Common files (putting the word 'temp' at the start of each is fine). Once you've done that hold down Ctrl and double click the Affinity Shortcut. In the Clear user data dialog click 'Select All' and then click 'Clear' and see if that solves the issue.If that does solve the issue could you create a zip file of those two renamed folders in %appdata% and upload to Dropbox/WeTransfer or similar service and PM me a link please. It could be something has gone wrong in your user data, so I maybe able to pass that on to the developers to take a look into!.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirknurse Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Update: When I select slider again, the percentage shows up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentia Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi Laurentia, the settings should be stored in the %APPDATA%\Serif\Affinity Designer\1.0 (Beta)\Settings folder. Is this folder empty for you? Hi, exact, this directory is full. But it's strange, the file ColourProfilePreferences.xml is rewritten well but after relaunch, it is not used (see the screencopy). AD reuse the default settings. (Sorry for my bad english). Of course, the new profiles are already installed on the computer. I see 3 curious characters in the begin of the xml file ...

accesstime Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Thanks! MEB I was not sure if my original post had got through, as this is a very big forum. Is there any way to show things you have added, or at-least only see threads that you have been apart of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2016 Go to your nickname on the top of the forum (right below the Affinity logo) and select My Content or click on View New Content on the top right (below the search input field) and select the options you want from the menu on the left - on the bottom you have options to see only the items you follow, participated or started. You can also follow specific topics you may have not started or participated clicking on the Follow this topic button on the top right of a thread - you will receive a notification by mail every time someone replies to that thread, Hope this helps.

zehh Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi People, I'm using version 1.5.0.4 and It's amazing !!! But I have some problems with special characters in pt-br (Brazilian). Some combinations doesn't work well. Example: "~" + "ao" should be ão, but shows like ~ao or ~ão Occurs the same with "^", "´" and "`". But, when I write on Textpad/Notepad and copy/paste into AD, all shows ok. Thats it. See the printscreen here. malyKeri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 This is the problem I am having. Whenever I go to choose a font when editing text, Affinity Designer crashes. Will the next update for Affinity Designer Windows beta address this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
