houseofdeadleg Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I'm torn. On the one hand, the updates look absolutely great from the quick play I've just had. On the other, none of my work got picked to be on the welcome screen, so… grrrrr Patrick Connor 1

gadabra Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Downloaded the update from the Mac App Store and now every time I click on Affinity Photo - Preferences it crashes Updated Mac to 10.13.1 Affinity Photo still crashes when selecting Preferences. Deleted AP 1.6.6 Beta, made no difference, still crashing. It would seem pressing Control on start up allows you to reset your preferences...

I can drag everything to where I want it, apart from the 'QuickStart_Guide.pdf'. First off, congratulations to the new release and many thanks for the additional bonus content. I also had a glimpse at the new web pages and the sample files. Very promising. Unfortunately I can confirm Kiarian's report. The 'QuickStart_Guide.pdf' doesn't extract. I also had problems to extract all files from the Tom Chalky archives. Some of them worked well, others gave an error message. d. Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2).

NobleValerian Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 The update still resets the interface, which is not desirable.
arvid Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Awesome! Great to have updates! And thanks for the free content. However, I wanted to note that the "tom-chalky-handcrafted-fonts-textures" download is needlessly huge in file size - most of the PNGs in it are not compressed at all. I recommend anyone who downloads it to run the PNGs through ImageOptim (on Mac) or PNGGauntlet (on windows). Many come in at around 66MB, but when I ran them all through ImageOptim, most compressed down to around 100KB. ImageOptim reports: "Saved 3.89 GB out of 4.07 GB. 95.5% overall (up to 99.9% per file)", which is pretty crazy :) To Serif: Running ImageOptim on those files and re-zipping the download would probably help to save a little download bandwidth and a lot of disk space for users! brebro and R C-R 2 musician | sound+video artist | engineer arvidtomayko.com | yourheaven.net
aadi Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 On Mac, how do i update from 1.5 to 1.6 when I bought the licenses through invoice (not apple app store)? On Affinity website under Downloads & Product Keys are the old versions (for now.. will there be an update soon)? Thanks

jediha Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Same here: MAC sierra. Empty welcome screen on designer and a AD link in the photo welcome screen. This is really a BUG I guess. Hope you can help us out here. Love the way you develop by the way! Congrats.

I am eager to install. When you click the Download button it should launch a browser window. Are you sure you don't have a firewall/antivirus blocking the connection/app or a setting in Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge preventing the browser from being launched?

alc Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 It will not load on my computer. It will not copy the new files. It does not recognize me as administrator and even when run as administrator. It removed my previous version and now I am without the program which I need. Please fix this SAP. I need at least my old version so I can continue my work. This is holding me up. I need it IMMEDIATELY. alc Fixed by restarting computer.

nezumi Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Just installed on PC - so far so good. Precisely today I have to send some labels to print, so I hope the improvements in pdf exporting will do good job Thank you for solid update!
jediha Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 @MacGueurle I tried that, but still no download link for the free stuff in the welcome screen. Also no items available when logged in the Store.
