cubesquareredux Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The following is not a bug report. It is an appreciation. I have to say that the quality of Affinity's beta software is better in many respects than "finished" software sold by certain other companies. Three simple examples (just FYI, I'm on a Mac using OS 10.13.6): 1. It may be that I am a lousy beta-tester – perhaps I am not pushing these betas to their limit – but I swear that not one of them has ever "hung" or "crashed" on me, not even once! I have no idea how you people do it but I have to admit to a certain amount of amazement. 2. When I use Affinity's betas to open a file that was created in an older non-beta version, I get a sensible dialog with careful and clear options. Small details like this can be extremely important! 3. Tiny details are fixed in the betas that are not even detailed in the release notes. For example in Designer, text boxes "usually" have 8 re-sizing handles, but two of them on mid-points can vanish if your zoom is set "too low." In previous betas, the work-around was to zoom in, at which point the "missing" handles would re-appear. In recent betas, you can re-size the text box even if you can't see the "missing" handles. I presume the latter (new) behaviour is intended and I, for one, certainly notice and appreciate it! These are just three examples. I could go on but … in short … THANKS FOR MAKING GREAT SOFTWARE!

And you mean it resizes only the width/height of the box? – No, not only of text boxes. cubesquareredux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi Oval, Yes, this was improved. The middle handles don't need to be visible anymore for you to adjust the width or height of the boxes as long as there's enough space between the corners handles for you to place the cursor in the middle (it should then change to reflect you can adjust the width/height). In the current retail you can only adjust the width and height when the middle handles are visible over the bounding box. vonBusing, JGD, fde101 and 4 others 4 3 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
