Max N Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 When working with a large number of documents, the focus does not shift to active document management. There is no possibility to close the document by clicking on the cross.

Staff Chris B Posted February 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hey Max N, This is a great find. I've just checked to see what happens on macOS and it pulls the document you click from the list to the left of the open document tabs. I think this is how it should work on Windows. Interestingly, the macOS version only shows the documents in the list view that are not visible across the top open tabs. Windows show all of them regardless. Should Windows only show the non-visible documents in the list? I'll have to check! There's also a difference in how they are organised in the list view. Windows arranges them numerically and then alphabetically whereas macOS will arrange them in the order they opened. I'd prefer them to be ordered by the order they were opened—what do you think? There is definitely a few improvements to swing by the developers regarding this.

Thanks The fact that all files are displayed is good.Logically, the numbering should go from left to right and from top to bottom (and not from bottom to top as it is now).But the problem is not in display order. The problem is that the active tab is not displayed in the tab toolbar if it does not fit there, even if it is active. As a result, it is not possible to close it with a mouse or move it. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.

Sorry I forgot to mention this got logged when I replied macOS pulls it to the left of all the open documents, so Windows should too!

Also "Ordered as they were opened" would be great if that could happen Also, when you get more than a few tabs one can no longer read the file names. If the active tab file name could be on (say) the bottom bar or accessible via hovering the tab and getting a tool tip type pop up ... that would be very helpful ... and make rasterize and trim the default ... oops sorry ...

I guess this only works if you're opening existing files.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2020 We have made fixes/improvements to the focus of documents in the latest Windows customer beta. Sorry this issue has taken so long to get resolved properly. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts. Affinity Photo 1.8.0.532 for Windows Affinity Designer 1.8.0.532 for Windows Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Windows These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version. #when using beta builds, please work on copies of your files, as 1.8.0 uses a more advanced version of the file format than 1.7.3 Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.

Thanks! Another question arose. Why is the file order chaotic? If you drop the files at once into the program, then it re-rolls them. I would like her to sort them by name during group loading. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.

Staff Chris B Posted January 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2020 I believe smaller documents load before slower ones. We've seen numerous users requests we load them in alphabetical or numerical order. I'm not sure if there's a plan to change the current behaviour.

We've seen numerous users requests we load them in alphabetical or numerical order. I'm not sure if there's a plan to change the current behaviour. Documents are downloaded in several streams and appear in the order of loading.Sort in the download order correctly when adding one file at a time.When a group loads, you need to sort by either numbers or letters.I upload 10 files. They have different processing time priorities. Random loading confuses and complicates the workflow. This is wrong for a professional tool. A professional tool should optimize the process and not vice versa. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.
