LilleG Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Function Keys are inoperative in Designer 1.5.2 beta 3. They were fixed in the latest (beta 7) Photo beta but they are still broken in Designer beta 3.
Staff MEB Posted October 28, 2016 Staff Posted October 28, 2016 Hi LilleG, This is already logged and should be fixed in the next Designer Beta. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
LilleG Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Okay, good. I did search on Function Keys to see if it had been mentioned in this topic before posting so I wouldn't just be "nagging." Glad it's being fixed.
bendito33 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Hey Meb, any idea when the next Designer beta will be available? Thx for all you guys do
Staff MEB Posted October 28, 2016 Staff Posted October 28, 2016 Hi benditto33, No, sorry. I believe a new one will be out next week but i may be wrong on this. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
t0m3k Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 I'm using the latest version from store which is useless because of fonts bug. Beta from this topic doesn't work telling me that retail version if required. What could I do to resolve problem? When will you update Designer in App Store with fix for fonts?

Beta from this topic doesn't work telling me that retail version if required. What could I do to resolve problem? Welcome here. “This beta is intended to fix any critical issues found in the current App Store version and should be considered to be more stable than the App Store product. To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it.”

Hi t0m3k Do you have your Mac App Store version in the default 'Applications' folder within your Mac? If you do not, moving it back to the default Applications folder should solve your problem running the beta.. Unfortunately the Beta Version can only check in that location for the App Store version, so if it's been placed anywhere else it will be unable to find it. t0m3k 1

It is much better, hope this version will be released to App Store soon as would rather have one app in system. Still have problem with sharpness after export on retina screen (it's ok on external) but after spending few hours in google I know it's problem with system resolution scaling.

HYR Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Btw, I noticed that in the "Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Miscellaneous" you can toggle a bunch of panels on/off but the newer panels like "Assets", "Constraints", and "Symbols" aren't represented there. Related, I like to keep panels on both sides and usually I just want to toggle entire groups of panels or all panels on the right or all panels on the left. Is that possible to do currently?
Staff MEB Posted November 7, 2016 Staff Posted November 7, 2016 Hi HYR, No, currently it's not possible to toggle panels in groups. Only individual panels through shortcuts. Feel free to add this to the Features Requests section. I believe the rest of the panels that are currently missing will be added at some point, but i will add this as an improvement request just to make sure. There's no eta for Designer's release, sorry.

HYR Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks for doing that MEB! I'll post to the feature requests section. I'll just continue to use the beta instead of the release version. Thanks. :)
LilleG Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 MEB, would you also request that Shortcuts for the Macro and Library Panels be added in Affinity Photo Preferences as well? Patrick Connor 1
smallreflection Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Are there outstanding issues with layer selection and grouping? I'm having some strange things happening in my layers, and it seems to be happening in several documents so far. For instance, selecting a layer inside of a group and deleting it seems to still be trying to select the parent group, and it deletes the whole group. Sometimes selecting a layer in a group from the Layers panel will result in nothing be selected at all, and I have to try to select outside of the group or off of the artboard entirely, then back inside again. In several repeated instances, I'll shift+select several layers and group them, but only the last selected layer is placed into a new group (nothing else is). However, often it seems that closing the application and reopening solves the problem—I was just having selection and grouping problems, restarted and now it seems to be working normally (for awhile).
