Staff MattP Posted February 19, 2018 Staff Posted February 19, 2018 This beta cycle has ended and this release candidate build is now the retail MAS version 1.6.1 Status: Release Candidate Purpose: Improvements, fixes Requirements: Purchased Mac Affinity Designer [from Mac App Store] Mac App Store: Submitted Download: Download from Here To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it. This beta is an iteration of the current App Store release and should be used in preference to the App Store release, if you are affected by any of the issues listed below. Fixes/Improvements: Improved Pressure response in pixel tools. Fix for 3D profile crash and Blend Ranges dialog crash. Fix for missing Place Image Tool icon. Fixed Korean Hangul text entry. Vector export improvements. Fix for failures when using compound objects inside groups with Constraints set on them. Font support improvements - specifically relating to fonts which substitute spaces or have truncated Unicode CMAP tables. Transparent TGA import support + misc TIFF loading fixes. Fix for deleting a node of a bitmap fill causing crash. Improved pixel painting smoothing. Any pixel-based painting tools should now have better smoothing by default. Fix for combo boxes causing crashes for certain users on High Sierra. Fix for exporting JPEG automatically choosing to export clips as paths which is a poor default and causes confusion. Fix for text objects being created outside the hierarchy of the artboard they were supposed to be created in. Fix for rotated text bounding boxes being incorrect and for disappearing text following Power-Duplicate. Fixed sporadic hanging when opening many image files at once. Fixed crashing bug when exporting certain large PSDs. Fixed a number of UI memory leaks. Added special case PSD import code for “SketchClub” PSD files (they should fix this!). Fixed PSD export of Fill layers. Fixed UI labels on macOS versions prior to Mavericks. SVG import can now handle gradients with missing x1 or y1 values. Assorted PDF export improvements. Localisation improvements. Paste and file-drop of PDF format files will now honour the DPI, as per File->Place. Fix for marching ants not showing on a rotated canvas. Miscellaneous other fixes and tweaks. A_B_C, JGD, superhaschi and 9 others 12
ONSO Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 NICE! Thanks yet again. We truly love the Affinity eco-system. 15"-inch MacBook Pro, 2017, 2.9GHz Intel Core i7 | 16Gb
Maxxxworld Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 There is a bug on RC1, if you select and deselect objects, the blue frame remains on all deselected objects! macOS Sierra 10.12.6, MacBook Pro MacBook Pro, iMac, Sierra 10.12.6 500px.com/maxxxworld www.instagram.com/markus_linner
A_B_C Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 You mean the purple frames? These are snapping candidate indicators, and you can get rid of them by unchecking Show snapping candidates on the Snapping Panel. Maxxxworld, MattP and osang 3

You can use export persona to divide this into 4 separate exported eps files if that’s what you wish - right now, Designer doesn’t support ‘pages’ as such, so what results you get with ‘artboards’ is really up for debate

Your English is much better than my French, so please don't apologise at all! Thanks again, Matt vonBusing and predick 2

avo Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Hehe, knowing that 1.6.1 is gonna be released soon makes me quite happy! Cant get enough of AD.. Follow me on Dribbble https://dribbble.com/g-avoyan
predick Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 So many delicate bugs fixed. I cannot see the difference between store and this version.
G.M.1986 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Huge bugs to fix with 1.6 and beta 1.6.1, and it is not the first time... I start to think to go back to illustrator which works well, cost too much but at least I can put food on the table with it. I am on MacBook Pro 2016, High Sierra, amd pro... When I am working on a second monitor there is a glitch that make a lot of my items that I draw disappear or glitch. Here's 2 screenshots, 1st on my main monitor MacBook and the other on my 32" monitor on which I want to work like any professional... I am sorry to be annoying or impolite, but you seriously can't sell a software with a bug as big as that...
vonBusing Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I can confirm I see the same glitches as G.M.1986 when using a secondary display (non-retina) on my MBP 2013 (retina), macOS 10.12.6. It happens most often when reconnecting the display while AD is running. It is a little annoying, but closing and reopening the misbehaving document usually resolves the issue. Another, probably related glitch, is the content of the document being suddenly rescaled to 1/4 of its size (1/2 height, 1/2 width) on the external display, and being impossible to rescale to any other size. The solution is, here also, to close and reopen the document.

Uhm… you realize that you’re currently testing a beta version, right? Nobody is selling it like this, and reporting bugs is why this thread here exists in the first place. The point is to get it working to a point where it can actually be released. You’d do a better service by just reporting issues and not adorn your posts with such unconstructive comments. osang, bagmetv, 000 and 1 other 4
postmadesign Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 The wacom line glitch on raster brushes, which created jagged lines and weird pressure readings seams to have improved. Thanks a lot, as it really made affinity designer unusable for me! MattP 1
postmadesign Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I may be confused, but I seam to remember there was a way to link the brush and eraser (and other brush tools) so when you switched between it kept the same brush and brush size. Can this be switched on?
ThierryMbp15 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Help please create a variable for rename automatically slice with name of file imported it's not nice to rename one per one. Please Thierry
Nana Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Apple is really taking its time to release the app into the store. I hope they are not being difficult and asking for further modification.

Unfortunately the font embedding issue I reported previously isn’t fixed yet. And also unfortunately it appears randomly and I don’t know any way to reliably reproduce it. Sometimes fonts are embedded, sometimes they aren’t. Sorry, I can’t be of any more help.
andremacola Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Subtract Shapes not working properly. See the video and the file attached for example. The same vector layers works fine on Sketch. bug480.mov bug.afdesign

I also have a copy of AD 1.6.0 and the substract shape is working. A_B_C and predick 2
Staff MEB Posted April 27, 2018 Staff Posted April 27, 2018 Hi abarkalo, Currently no. Version 1.6.1 (Mac App Store) is the most up to date version available. As soon as the Beta phase starts again we will create a new thread as usual. retrograde and abarkalo 2 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
