But it can not expand correctly a "small" ( or relative small ) stroke !!!??? Perhaps the current staff can figure out and code zoom but not more complex features.

At least not for my workflow anyway. Impressive nonetheless though.) I know right?? If you ask Affinity.. They say: "Because We Can". But they can't expand a stroke properly. m.vlad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dok Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Is this bug being really worked on ? It's a damn core feature, used very often and yet, years and years later, still not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another annoying bug or feature in AD is that it makes hundreds of unnecessary anchor points when expanding stroke. Hopefully we get update soon.

I hope with 'currently' you really mean 'at this very moment'. Because this is being asked so many times and for such a long time (meaning years) I started to think this mayor issue for a vector drawing program was never going to get fixed. Hopefully the issue @Jaakko is writing about; the unnecessary anchor points (on pretty weird locations on curves too), will be fixed with this as well. That would be really fantastic!!! Looking forward to this fix!!! BTW Nice to see so much fixes and updates are being done after the time Publisher was released. That's great!

Staff MEB Posted October 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi Friksel, Yes, that's what I meant. Regarding the number of anchor points, I do not have any specific info regarding this although I personally believe it will also be better/more efficient as a consequence of the rewritten/revised code.

Jowday Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Any improvements to the expand stroke code in the current beta (1.8.0.486) ? A developer mentioned it being part of the 1.8 beta before dropping his microphone, and before this beta surfaced here.

They just don't do ANYTHING to fix this and obviously don't take customers serious or they just don't know how to solve this themselves and keep adding more features instead, leaving this bug lying around, just because that's more fun to program. Otherwise I can't think of any reason why this incredibly important basic functionality of a VECTOR program still doesn't work after so many years. This is the bare basic of a vector program.

Staff MEB Posted November 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hi Friksel, nod74, This was indeed being worked/fixed at the time of the post (it's being tested as we speak). The fix will be included in v1.8 Beta for Mac (not available at time of writing) and in v1.8 Beta for Windows (at time of writing the current Windows 1.8 Beta doesn't include this fix). Some issues imply rewriting parts of the code or the whole feature - they are not just simple corrections or addons to existing code and take more time and testing than usual. With Publisher's recent release a lot of time and effort was spent on solving its issues and on its integration with the rest of the suite which ended up delaying Designer and Photo 1.8 Betas a bit. As explained several times we have limited dev resources and some fixes may end up taking more time than we hoped for but that doesn't mean we don't care about customer's issues/problems. We are simply doing our best with the resources we have. Thanks for understanding.

Staff MEB Posted March 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi Artemotion, Welcome to Affinity Forums Yes, this is a known bug with the latest release (1.8.1). A few of these bugs were already fixed in the latest Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.8.2.1) for macOS (and soon on Windows). If you are using macOS you may want to give it a try. Let us know if you still find issues there. Thanks. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
