Re: v. 3.0.2 Bug Fix on the Way

Thanks, Ali. I wonder why they say “the latest Affinity version is now available” when it isn’t!

Sorry, I should have written “the latest Affinity version is now available”. I’ve no idea why those two words are bold.

Re: v. 3.0.2 Bug Fix on the Way

I think that this, like the gift fonts download page that was shared on Discord yesterday, are there in readiness for an imminent announcement.

Someone is getting lucky at guessing URLs, I think ...

Re: v. 3.0.2 Bug Fix on the Way

Should we not have got an email about the gift fonts?

I don't know about you, but I hate Discord with passion.

Also 3:00 PM and the phantom update 3.0.2 has not reached the software itself and it still shows as up to date.

Re: v. 3.0.2 Bug Fix on the Way

Maybe you skim read these posts, but as I said, both the 3.0.2 update nor the fonts are yet to be made available. Yes, we are expecting an E-mail when the fonts are released.

I don't like it, but I don't hate it, either. Spending time to get to know it helps.

Thank you for the news!

It is interesting to see that some of the bugs I reported have been fixed. (At least I encountered).

Logging a support call is actually very good, I have found.

Welcome, Chris! Thanks for joining us here.

Which version do you currently have installed?

Re: v. 3.0.2 Bug Fix on the Way

Is that the MSIX version, or MSI/EXE?

This is correct. When you run the downloaded file it will then run only the update bit for you. Choose Enterprise if you have the EXE installation, but for MSIX run the Windows option.

From https://affinity.studio/help/windows-installer-types:

"Windows (Intel/AMD)" and "Windows (ARM)" are the recommended option and are MSIX installers. They support in-app automatic updates, meaning you won’t need to manually download and run future installers.

"Enterprise (Intel/AMD)" and "Enterprise (ARM)" are MSI/EXE installers and may be preferable if:

• You encounter issues with the MSIX version
• You’re installing on an Education or Enterprise network that restricts MSIX
• You need more control over installation settings (e.g., destination directory, easier integration with other software)

Re: v. 3.0.2 Bug Fix on the Way

Thanks Alfred and Ali - sorry for slow response but am fighting back-up problems at present.

I use Faststone as my photo browser and call Affinity 3 via it using "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity\Affinity.exe" so I guess I installed the MSI/exe version. 

Looking back at AP 2, I used aflaunch.exe so I guess I used MSIX then.  I don't suppose there's a version of aflaunch.exe for Affinity Studio?

Re: v. 3.0.2 Bug Fix on the Way

cgw Sadly I installed the MSI version by mistake and lost all my contents. I have since installed the Enterprise AMD version and all works as sweet as a nut.  Have now uninstalled the MSI version.  I  use Irfanview as my photo browser along with FastStone capture and load both of these if I so choose into Affinity studio.  Cheers Vicki (and John)
