Staff MEB Posted January 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 16, 2015 @LaurentGl You can export the palette from the MAS version and import it in the Beta. Go to the Swatches panel, click on the small menu icon on the right and choose Export Palette. Then import it again from the Beta from the same menu.

retrograde Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm having an issue inputting stroke values in the stroke palette. Works fine in the tool shelf but isn't recognizing my keystrokes in the input field of the stroke palette. When I input a stroke width value in the tool shelf it updates in the stroke palette but won't allow any inputting... the slider works just not the input field. anyone having this issue? http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My snapping panel is white on light gray. A bit of a readability issue. Yosemite 27" iMac. Same here. And without luck with changing Tool UI Size and Font UI Size (yeah I know I must restart the app after changes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallx Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is going to be a great app. Still no arrowheads on lines and paths which means at the present time I still can't use it for any technical illustration. Equally spaced user-customizable ornamentation along a path would also be useful, but I can wait on that whereas the lack of arrowheads are a deal breaker for me. How about if you replace one of the two rectangle boxes with a simple line tool? Though one can draw straight lines with the pen tool, it is often useful for alignment purposes to be able to drag out a line, rubber band style. Yes, I know that you can get a straight polygon tool by clicking the appropriate button in the tool bar but that is more clicks than necessary when one just wants to draw a simple line!

KipV Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hmm, I haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, think I'll wait.... Same here, I didn't update to Mavericks until 10.9.3. I hope this beta will fix the disappearing tags from the save as menu. I am glad they got the file name to not disappear but please do the same with the tags.

KipV Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 As soon as I downloaded the new beta it told me that there was another new beta available. That couldn't be right could it? New Internet Book Project | Another New Website Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 16, 2015 @KipV Yes, we released another one a few hous later to fix a couple things. The latest beta version is 1.0.21861 KipV 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted January 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 16, 2015 Sorry about that - just figured that I didn't want to leave everyone for another week or so with a version I knew there was a problem in that you'd likely run into! :) KipV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrograde Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks Matt, I did the double take thing too. "Huh, another update you say, can't be..." nice to know there are some real humans at the other end of this application. :D http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raskolnikov Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I love you so muchhhh guys!!!!!! (...and girls) - Rectangles are now Rounded Rectangles - they just have their radii set to zero. An Ellipse is now also a Pie and a Donut shape, simply by dragging the handles. Perfect this way! intuitive. Dale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paekke Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Same here. And without luck with changing Tool UI Size and Font UI Size (yeah I know I must restart the app after changes). Yup Same here, not pretty, but hey it's Beta. Lets all hope they'll change it back to normal in final update. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 So any document created in the new beta 1.0.21861 won't be able to be opened in MAS? I had created a new drawing with a rectangle and some images drug in. It crashed in beta when I tried to move a layer. So I tried to open it in MAS and it says "The file was for a different version of Persona". iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yes, you won't be able to open documents created in the latest beta on the MAS version (1.1.2). A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paekke Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 My snapping panel is white on light gray. And also the arrange panel same gray color, not easy on the eyes. Lets hope they will change it back to the dark grey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yes, you won't be able to open documents created in the latest beta on the MAS version (1.1.2). MEB any idea when the next MAS update will happen that will allow use of the drawings made in the new beta? I feel very exposed making something that I am stuck using one version of beta to work in. iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2015 Although the betas are usually quite stable I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use them for production work. The betas are meant to let you try/test new features and for giving feedback, not for producing work you depend on. That's the purpose of the MAS version. I can't give you an ETA on when the MAS version will be updated because I really don't know yet. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks guys, drawing with the pen tool seems faster and a bit smoother than before (or maybe it is just me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
