Polygonius Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 1. I think its known "styels" (based on bitmaps) can not resize or "gradient-tweak" in 1.7. Please keep that in mind. 2. New or just remarked: Text will not save as style anymore. Well, i can save text-formats... but often the old styles was much more faster and intuitive to use and reachable ANYWHERE. In 1.6 a "style-saved" text got its font/size/color/distance-paragraph-break... and some other useful attributes. And this Style(S) was AVAILABLE in all new and old documents. The only thing i would "mark" they old styles had a cog instead a sample... and yeah, as all style presets, they can not reordered or named greater 8 letters... or subcategoryiezed.... I really hope you will make the better (not perfect) preset-system from synth-texture-filter also implement for styles, brushes, macros... afaik, but for the day please give back just the option to save a text just as style instead this over-complicated text-format, which is maybe useful for Publisher, but for Photo maybe overkilled, at least not so fast and handy than the old style!

Staff MEB Posted January 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi Polygonius, I'm having trouble understanding your issue/question (apart from the suggestion to improve styles management). Do you mind rephrasing or posting a sample file with steps to reproduce the issue/show the problem? I'm still able to create styles with or without bitmap textures/fills and add/save them to the Styles panel without issues in version 1.7 (see screenshot where I've created two styles from two text objects and added them to the Styles panel). Am I missing something? A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polygonius Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Ups my fault! Yes, i can create a text-style when the move-tool is selected, not when the text-tool is active Thanks MEB! For the other issue - please test this 3 styles in 1.6 and in the beta with resizing by gradient-tool and you will see, what i mean.

Staff MEB Posted January 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi Polygonius, Thanks for the file. I'm seeing a few rendering issues when Metal compute acceleration is ticked in Preferences, Performance section. Is this the issue you are referring to or is there something more? Other than this, scaling the bitmap using the Gradient tool seems to be working fine for me in both versions (retail and Beta).

Polygonius Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Seems to be a metal-issue! In one picture metal is off and it works as excpected. The othe pic is with active metal!
