Inspirimental 7 Posted November 7, 2017 Hi Affinity, Version 1.6 of the designer works in some areas much better. I am still having some issues, that are really annoying in a quick production workflow: I select several objects within the workspace and move them with SHIFT cursor (left, right, up, down) it works perfectly. BUT: If I select multiple objects in the layers palette I cannot move the objects with SHIFT + cursor down or up, instead it selects more objects in the layers palette. It ist quiet often the case, that I have to select the objects I am trying to move in the layers palette, and then move them with cursor keys to have an equal distance between them. Is there a way to prevent the layers palette being in the focus for the SHIFT+cursor entry? Cheers Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MEB 6,829 Posted November 7, 2017 Hi Inspirimental, This seems to be a bug in Separated Mode. If you go to menu Window and untick it it will work as you want. I'm logging this issue to be looked at.

Inspirimental 7 Posted November 7, 2017 In "framed mode" I just tried the selection of objects in the layers palette and then SHIFT move. Here it is the same issue, new layers get selected instead of moving the objects on the artboard. Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MEB 6,829 Posted November 7, 2017 Which macOS version are you running? I'm having trouble reproducing this here in "framed" mode. Maybe i'm missing something (different layer structure or setting). Are you running any menu utilities that may be interfering with the shortcuts?

Inspirimental 7 Posted November 7, 2017 I added a video to show what I mean. I have not changed the shortcuts in system settings nor do I have any menu utilities installed. selecting_objects.mov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inspirimental 7 Posted November 7, 2017 Oh and you can see (or not see) my missing toolbar in separate mode. The video was recorded on an external 4K LG display. I us a 2017 MacBook Pro 15 inch with the Radeon Pro 560 4GB graphics card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MEB 6,829 Posted November 7, 2017 Ok thank you. Seems it also happens when the Layers panel is detached from the main application window (even in "framed" mode). Can you please attach the panel back to the Studio on the right of the application window and try again just to confirm this is indeed the cause of the issue?

Inspirimental 7 Posted November 7, 2017 Indeed. If the layers palette is attached to the main application window, selecting objects works as it should do. Great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inspirimental 7 Posted November 7, 2017 Great! By the way. I really enjoy working with Affinity Software. Completely removed Adobe from my computer. Once the desktop publishing tool comes to replace indesign I am a happy man Keep up the great work. And especially the very good support and listening to your users.
