Please fix fast, makes Designer not useable for me! How can I go back to previous version, ...... have to work every day with designer? Please send info soon!

Kobold Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Before you may ask: I tried all settings, started the mac new, ...... but no change of this problem. This is really frustrating, as you may not trust an update of a well working app. And as often, now one has to live with this bug (I really guess this is not my fault) until a new update may come ......... taking months ......... Just did the same with 1.6.1 Version ........ no problem, all fine! Thanks for bringing arrows, ........ and new problems! :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Here another video, may be helps: When I make a first stroke, and after falling into super slow motion mode I hit the move tool, the stroke shows up completely. When I leave this stroke as it is, and keep going adding more strokes, ....... it now works as it should. If I delete the slow motion stroke, it will happen again.

A_B_C Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I have seen similar issues with the iPad version, even before 1.7. Couldn’t determine exactly what was causing the problems. Seemed to me like some background process running in Designer, eating up the resources for the screen redraw. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted June 24, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi Kobold, This is a known issue that is with development and it seems to only affect the first stroke you draw after doing an undo operation - any subsequent strokes should be ok.

Kobold Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 That´s right, ........ hope fix will come soon. Other bugs found (not been searching, just normal work) with Publisher when using Designer Persona ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 When will this be fixed? This is really frustrating getting updates with new bugs never been there before. As often said: I would prefer a stable working app with no bugs, to an app with more and more almost never needed toy options, ..... please spend your time to fix bugs first, so users can really work again, and not having to bother around with an apps bugs.

Wosven Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 On 6/24/2019 at 1:19 PM, Sean P said: the first stroke you draw after doing an undo operation So, doing a small stroke, and deleting it before keeping on drawing is ok until the bug is solved?

Kobold Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 When designing electric guitar wirings, you have to add many strokes, and often you have to delete them, and make it new again. And also this is no workaround, cause as soon as you delete a stroke (when you went the wrong way), the bug comes again, over and over again! My suggestion to Affinity: Bring more smaller updates more often, and just remove these annoying bugs so one can work with your software fine again! And please fix bugs first ........ before adding more new features again, ....... and bringing us new bugs again not being there before!

Kobold Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Thank you very much, ........... for keeping the problem alive and not fixing it on latest update, ...... so amazing, so awesome ....... This is the bad side of Affinity products, when there is a bug, it sometimes takes them years to fix it, .... meanwhile new bugs show up! Very disappointing! affinity_problem_02.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 And may I quote this from Sean: .... This is a known issue that is with development and it seems to only affect the first stroke you draw after doing an undo operation - any subsequent strokes should be ok .... So why no fix then? Next update then ...... 2020 ..... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Maybe I'm missing something but I don't appear to be experiencing the same delays? Out of interest what are your performance preferences set to, Metal or OpenGL, (both give me the same results). Can you supply your mac specs and maybe upload a sample file so the Affinity team can take a closer look? ropey.mov Quote Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 Affinity Designer Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Photo Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.6.0.2861 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
