Max N Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 If you assign hotkeys to the launch of the AP program, the program perceives such a launch as resetting the settings. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.

walt.farrell Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 It's not new with the beta, as it can happen with 1.6, too. @Ron P.: If you hold the Ctrl part of the shortcut key down long enough, it probably will. At least, it will for me in that situation. But normally I would just press the key combination and then release it, and then the reset does not happen.

With a very quick key press combination, the launch runs in normal mode. Is it possible to teach the program to understand (ignore the pressed key) when the program starts with hot keys. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.

carl123 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 As Walt has said you can use the Fn keys or keys on the numeric keypad E.g. Try using the F4 or F7 key on its own To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

You can update the firmware to the user. There is no forum where you can write about the request to add a feature to the user's firmware. But the forum on AP exists Other users may also come across this problem / feature. I think that is not a very large percentage, but even so. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.

walt.farrell Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 True. You can ask for an improvement. As I mentioned above, this problem is not new with the beta. Therefore, the correct place (in my opinion) to post an improvement request for it is Suggestions for the Affinity Suite of Products. You could do that, or possibly a moderator will move this topic. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formally, the fact that the program does not distinguish the launch by the standard means of the operating system (Hot Keys is the same full-fledged tool as launching via a shortcut) from launching with the parameter is an error. Perhaps there are restrictions on the part of the operating system or programming language, but I do not have such information. The error is present in the stable and beta version. I understand that a new release is currently being formed, and if developers can solve the problem, then it will be good. Request a function? Which one? What would the program run correctly from the shortcut and hotkeys. So this should be the default. __________________ Windows 11 64-bit, AMD Ryzen 9 3900 + Nvidia 1660 Super + Nvidia Studio driver + 32 Gb RAM.
