Thankyou for another new beta. And this in the week of the AD for iPad release. You are busy :)

The first popup screen of the installer does not show the complete version number, see below. AD has the same problem.

Just a question : how complicated would it be to add a tablet (iPad like) view for those using surface and surface like devices? I'm sorry for this off topic, but I didn't want to make another thread. 

Very complicated :-)

It's something we're actively talking about here, but it would require re-writing the UI completely from scratch (we don't share any UI between iPad and Desktop apps).

@dominik, it's only really an issue for the beta testing, as official releases will always have the 3rd number increase (i.e. the next release will be 1.6.6).

Thanks, I understand. This is indeed a minor issue that does not need a fix.

Thanks for the new Beta and i can confirm that it loads much faster.
Right klick on a Nikon- NEF File to open it needs in the new Beta 10 Seconds less than in the current Version 1.6.4.104.
Of course i tested it with the same NEF file :D

Have a nice day.

Thanks Mark,
Here also no problems with the new Update.
Loading a RAW file (PEF) is  a bit faster.:)

 

Cheers

I tried cutting out an object with a path for the first time (mobile phone jpg). Also when drawing a path I often (not always) see a dash of latency in what I do: When placing a node or editing handles etc. Further I ran into really bad screen refresh issues on Zoom. Here’s a little clip. Used various Zoom methods (Z, Scroll+Ctrl,  Spacebar+Ctrl), they all behave the same way. Sometimes I also see simple black blocks (rectangles) while zooming. Graphics drivers are up to date, I see no performance-problems in other program

Maximized App window cyling issues:

Win+Shift+Left and Right arrow keys is the Win 10 mapping to send maximized application windows to another screen. I use this shortcut all of the time to send graphics apps to my Cintiq, often just to paint some strokes or fine tune a rough selection. While my two main sceens are identical, the Cintiq has a deviating resolution. When I do this with Photoshop the app remains maximized on all screens – that's what I think is expected.

Affinity Photo however seems to lose this information and gives me a randomly sized app window on the Cintiq (or rather on the device with a deviating resolution). Cycling back on the regular screens I get a maximized app window again.

I noticed a "white stripe error" in Develop Persona if i cut a Nikon NEF File in it. See the Screenshot below.
The white Stripe arises at this side of the image wich i cut at last. In the example the white line is on top.
If i develop it, the line stays, but after export as .jpg it´s away.

But it´s only with my NEF Files, not with jpg´s.

I think that it is a litte Bug, but it´s not only in the Beta. In the current Version it´s the same.

Have a nice day.

Hi Uwe367, Hofnaar,
If you zoom in/out does the white stripe disappear or move to another edge? If so that's a side effect of how we render the images on screen. That line will not appear in the exported files. It's a visual glitch. The devs are aware of this.

Hi @MEB
Yes, you are right. Zooming in/out changes the edge of the stripe. I´ve never noticed it before and so i wondered to see it. In some Zoomsteps there are two lines, one left and right and one line is bigger than the other, in other Steps, for example 100%, there is no line to see. Then i compared it with the current version (1.6.4.104) and if i saw that´s the same in this i thought that i post here.
But how you say, the dev Team knows it.
And no, in an exported File there´s no line vislible.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Hi,

two issues.

One is simple, have an open document and try  to drag and drop a broken (not fully downloaded) png file (itwas beeing downloaded as I drag and dropped it, and it was not empty. This crashed the application.

Second is harder to reproduce, but, when I was working I sometimes got very severe GUI delays, I was looking at CPU load and it did not increase while my mouse and actions in general were sluggish at best. Click did not respond, mouse went into a crawl etc. This lasted fora minute or two, esp when working on a multilayered document. Then it went away.

I have seen the second one although not for the length you describe, usually for about 10 seconds or so here and for no apparent reason (only a couple of layers and none or only one or two live filters etc). It has been in there for a while and is a bit worse in this beta. It is seldom and random

This!

Looking forward to the final release :) I think this also happens when polyline selection is active, can You look into that?

Inconsistent of Mask Layer after resizing of document:

- create an empty layer, fill it with any colour
- create second layer with duplicating the first layer, invert the colour of second layer

- add mask layer to second layer

- create a mask with brush tool

- go to Document, resize document… (or Ctrl + Alt + I)

- change the DPI value

- undo one step (Ctrl + Z)

- redo one step (Ctrl + Y)

- note the change in the mask size

- undo and redo a few more times to see the changes of the mask

I guess the program might be messing up the resize document (Ctrl + Alt + I) with resize canvas (Ctrl + Alt + C) during undo or redo.
