Win 10, installation over the previous beta (.54)

 

First time I ran it the following error message appeared: "There was an error loading your settings. Some settings may be incorrect."

 

I clicked "OK" and it started fine. Now it does not show this error message anymore. It feels a bit faster and my Wacom Pen seems smoother.....

 

Thank you all, dev and support.

Thanks Mark and team. I too got the error message but loaded fine - I like the new welcome screen. (Perhaps this is what caused the error mesage first time?)

I didn't have the error on first run that is being mentioned. I also didn't see the welcome screen until just now when I went tot he help menu and chose it.

 

As it seems like most of the space is used for advertisements, I choose to never show the thing.

Hallo, seltsamer Rand um eine Datei von 512x64 Pixel in 56 Beta. In 1.5.1.43 ist in Ordnung.

Hello, strange edge around a file of 512x64 pixels in 56 beta. In 1.5.1.43 is fine.

Can you try and go to View > View Mode > and enable Clip to Canvas?

 

Können Sie versuchen, und gehen Sie zu 'Ansicht > Ansichtmodus' und aktivieren 'An Leinwand Begrenzen'?

is it possible to have both the beta and the normal version installed or will that cause problems?

That is indeed fine! The Beta and Retail version share different install directories as well as different settings so nothing you do in one will affect the other.
