Lock Children. Needs to be fixed. When? When?!!

[grain]

Just dropping by to say I've had to stop using Affinity Photo since the Lock Children was broken in the last update. For me, it's unusable until this is fixed. 

When will the update be ready?!  And can there also be the option in the software to NEVER auto update?

If this feature is fixed in the update, I will need to be able to opt out of future updates for fear of this kind of nonsense happening again.

Please give us some time frame as to when to expect solution.

Hi grain,

There is a known issue with lock children only working when the Move tool is selected, would this be what you are referring to?  If not, can you do a screen recording or the issue?  When the known issue with lock children will be fixed, i honestly don't know and we don't put timescales on fixing issue.

As for auto updates, you can disable auto updates in the settings of the iPad, this does disable auto update for all installed apps and not just ours.

I've posted this before, but it's been a while now. 

I'm basically not using Affinity Photo on my iPad anymore, until this is fixed. I need this feature to work as it did before the last update. 

I am of course talking about the fact that you can't turn on 'Lock Children' any more. 

When can we expect an update? Months have gone by and this extremely important feature remains broken.

Hi @grain,

I'm afraid we do not have an ETA at the moment. This is still being worked on by our development team. Sorry

Thanks,

Gabe.
