Michael Smith Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Very first thing I wanted to try was a no go - clicked on View Samples in opening splash screen, see a nice Affinity Brochure with a little cloud download symbol, but no matter what I do, I can't get that document to open up - at best, I get sent to the Affinity web site home page... Is this just broken? I always like to start by looking at the samples. Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted August 30, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 30, 2018 Click the thumbnail, it should start downloading the file (it's 469MB so will take a while - a progress indicator will move around the thumbnail's border). When it's downloaded, click the thumbnail and it will open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Smith Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wow. I see it now... a very faint ring progresses around the image. and the cloud symbol gets a tiny red X in it. This is quite minor in grand scheme of a beta, but as the "front door" to your product, might want to update this to be a bit more "in your face" clear that a download is in progress, and an affirmation that the download is complete. Thanks for setting me straight! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moscool Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yes, plus one for this. It's the cloud with a red x that confused me. This looks already like an accomplished product. *Almost* worth the extra 18 month wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narrationsd Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yes, the red x is definitely confusing. How about just a down arrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The little red X that replaces down arrow in the cloud icon is provided so you can cancel the download once it has started, useful if the DL stalls or is taking too long. It is the same convention used in all the Affinity desktop apps, as is the not-so-obvious large thumbnail preview button that you need to click on to start the DL.
