Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.5 - Beta 5)

[MattP]

So it does look like the crash is definitely font-related (for me, anyway)—I disabled all of my active fonts (about 800, since I don't know exactly what was going off), and Beta 5 opened up just fine again. I reactivated all of the fonts from my last doc without problems, so I'll have to keep an eye out to tell what exactly was causing the issue. :)

Awesome, thank you for the confirmation - it looks like there's quite a few people suffering the same problem so we'll try our best to find it and fix it soon. If you happen to spot which font is causing you problems then please do let us know as it might speed up our bug-finding process! :)

Hi wiredfractal,

 

Your crash report is also suggesting there's a problem with font enumeration (notice a theme going on here? *sigh*)

 

Thanks - we'll try to get something released to fix this as soon as we can :)

Okay Matt, I'll try and see which font is causing it.

Hey Matt, I've also had font crashing issues with AD Beta 4. I believe I emailed u guys the offending fonts...

[MattP]

Hi Ronny,

 

Sorry - I'm obviously just delegating different jobs to different people whenever I see them, and sometimes I might not realise that something is the same problem unless it's my area... :(  I searched the support email for any fonts you've mailed and I can't find any... would you mind just sending me the offenders directly? I think you have my direct email :)

 

Thanks again! :)

Hi Guys,

 

Found an issue with duplicating artboards. The slice name appears to be correct but the export name isn't correct (see attached). To correct it I just need to click in the name field of the slice - as if to edit it - and hit return.

 

So it seams the export name isn't been updated (along with the slice name) when the artboard name is changed after duplicating. If you can follow that rambling explanation? 

 

Cheers.

I am getting a pretty consistant crash whenever I unplug my second display from my macbook.   

Applications would typically move from my monitor to the macbook.  AD crashes.

Hi n0rmand0,

 

I think I've just fixed your crash - but it's not in the new beta build (build 6 that has just gone live). It'll hopefully be in build 7. Sorry about that...

 

Thanks,

Matt

HOPEFULLY the new beta build (beta 6) will fix everyone with font problems - could somebody let me know? :)

 

Thanks!

Matt
