More and more frequently thumbnails showing transparent


Recommended Posts

I have changed my thumbnails in the Layers Panel in Affinity Photo to show as Large.  More and more I have layers that appear transparent, but are not, because when I switch off the other layers, there is the content.  Now, through experience, I have found that sometimes you need the program to catch up.  However a recent layer remained transparent for about ten mins.  I had to go back for it eventually to work.  Lost time and work.  Prior to this I did try shutting down and starting Affinity again, but that did not work.

Yes, I like using large thumbnails and have noticed this too in the v1.7 apps, both MAS and Betas.
It’s by no means a show stopper but in the v1.6 apps thumbnails generally refreshed almost instantly.

No, First Defence, both Lightroom and Irfanview, for example, work fine.

Does it stop happening if you use a smaller thumbnail size?
