Paste effects - "random" values bug

[Lojza]

It seems that in both AD and AP is the same bug when copy/pasting layer effects: the fx parameters seem to somehow reflect target layer size (be it a shape or a pixel layer). So when for example an outer shadow of 22px blur, 30px distance is pasted onto a different layer, it gets pasted with 102,4px blur and 0px distance...

 

I haven't tried this with other effects.

 

Is this a bug or is there any "logic" behind this that I can't see?

 

Thanks!

Hmm … maybe the “Scale with Object” option gets tacitly engaged … at least, it looks like that from my test below.  :unsure:

I have reported about these before. It happen both while selected 'Scale with Object' or not selected.

Have to adjust the pasted values every times if the objects have different sizes. Hope they fix soon.

An easy example please try my file.

 

I have new created 2 shapes with different kinds and sizes and not be scaled up or down.

Just add an effect to the left one and try to paste the effect to the right one, then you will see the random values.

Hi guys,

This has been logged but it doesn't always mean it makes it into beta's or release builds. I will definitely poke the bug report as it is being raised often enough for concern.

Hi Chris,

I hope somebody is about to look at it soon, it has been 5 years and the problem is still there.

I have to manually check all the effects after pasting.

I still love Affinity software and I consider many functions designed in really smart way...this is not one of them however.
