CorkyO Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hello, I am running the current AD beta RC3 (1.1.2.2384) and am seeing a bit of overlap in the stroke size properties (or at least that is my best guess at what that is called) at top left area of workspace. Simple steps I performed: Use pen tool to create a path Click 'Brushes' tab to show brushes pallet Select 'Textured Pen 3' to apply to path Issue shows right away. I am running AD with defaults across the board on fresh install. 27" iMac (late 2013), 3.4 Ghz Core i5, 32 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 775M (2 GB VRAM) Added: OS X 10.10.3 Public Beta I have attached a screenshot JPEG to help show the issue (red arrow points to problem). Not sure if it is something on my system or the program itself, but wanted to report just in case. CorkyO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 22, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hello CorkyO, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Thanks for reporting this. Issue logged to be looked at. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkyO Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 MEB, Glad to help. Love the new program(s) so far. Especially the speed of loading and working in program(s). I miss a couple of features I use constantly in Illustrator like the new apply gradient to stroke (perpendicular to stroke) and wishing for either path offset or a contour tool (similar to what I used to use in CorelDRAW 12 years ago when I was on Windows at home). I believe there are feature request threads about those, so I will add a +1 to those posts. FWIW, outside of the easy use of the program(s) so far, I also love the ease of install and update via MAS (or simply copying the .app file to an external for backup). Very nice compared to the behemoth install procedure for Adobe apps (not really knocking the apps as Illustrator and Photoshop are still great if overly bloated). Looking forward to further developments for Designer, Photo and Publisher. ;) Best regards, CorkyO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkyO Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Bumping this one since I don't see if fixed yet in the current beta 1.2.1.25787 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkyO Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 One last bump in hopes this gets addressed in the MAS submit version. Still not fixed in the current RC (1.2.1.26110 RC1). It may be an intended feature, but the overlap of the visual stroke of the stroke size text doesn't seem right to me? Either way, I really do love both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo. I believe that Steve Jobs said something to the effect of: "technology should get easier as it gets more advanced". The Affinity products definitely make me feel like my $2000+ USD 27" iMac is a beast instead of some bloated, resource hungry software that makes it seem like an old, used machine. Really, really looking forward to the way these run on El Capitan if written to take advantage of metal. FWIW, I use Adobe CC 2015 at work (since we run a Windows based environment) and have run the new versions of AI, PS and LR on my Mac at home since I have a seat license allowing 2 computers. Not a great experience even though there is no question the tools are all there for just about any project. Looking forward to some of those tools being added to Designer and Photo over time. Keep up the great work. Also, just waiting for the MAS version of Photo to become available and I will be purchasing that day!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be an intended feature, but the overlap of the visual stroke of the stroke size text doesn't seem right to me? No, it is most definitely not intended. :) Just keep reminding us of course it still isn't fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted June 26, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hi CorkyO, Just to let you know this was already fixed for the next update ;) MattP and Andrew Tang 2 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkyO Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Most excellent, team!!! The issue is indeed fixed on my end with the just released RC2. Attention to detail = good! The new app icons (both Designer and Photo) are kinda cool. I like that they have a character of their own. Thanks a million. These programs really are fun to use. Will post anything else I come across as I move more toward using these programs full-time at home. :P MattP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
