Try to save a file to the local drive. Does the same thing happen? No, than the problem is the external link, drive.

You can place an document on the page. When changing that document. Your design is updated. So yes it can.

The result is also dependent of the type of paper you use. Some papers have different color profiles. Look at the supportpage of the paper. In the printer you can use different profiles. In Affinity you can also choose a paperprofile. There is a lot of learning and tweaking. I use the paperprofile with some changes in the color. So i get, when printing black and white, a litle brown added in the black. So buy good paper. Use original colorcartridges.

When you close the separate window, after editing the svg, yes, close that window, you come in the first screen where you placed the svg. When clicking again on the svg, the second window opens again. This is how it works.

There is an tool for Windows and Mac, terminalprog: https://exiftool.org. With an batch edit. Perhaps this will help. There is also a GUI available: https://github.com/FrankBijnen/Ex…ses/tag/V6.3.11.

In preview on the Mac you can use:
Using Preview (Simple Edits)
- Open the image in Preview.
- Go to Tools > Show Inspector (or press Command + I).
- Click the EXIF tab to view data like Camera Model, Lens, etc.
- You can often edit the Description, Keywords, or add GPS data here directly, which modifies the EXIF, but be careful with date fields as they might behave unexpectedly.
This is no batch editing. There are apps in the App Store.

Goto Document, top menu, then choose setup. You can change this whenever you want.

I really enjoy working with Affinity, and I want to say this in a constructive way. I’ve been using the software since the very first version, but the Start Screen in Affinity Studio keeps getting in the way of productive work.
Even after creating custom presets, starting a new document turns into a constant search and too much clicking around. The overview is cluttered, and it takes effort to recognize what is actually needed in that moment. In practice, the quickest and least tiring option is still going through File > New, because at least your own presets are clearly visible there.
What adds to the frustration is the repeated need to double-check orientation. Whether a document is set to landscape or portrait needs attention every single time. Even when an own preset is saved in landscape, it still has to be selected again manually. That may sound minor, but over the course of a workday it adds up.
For focused, productive work, this workflow simply costs too much time and attention. The Start Screen feels unclear, visually hard to scan, and more complicated than necessary. I’d really appreciate a cleaner, more predictable setup that helps you reach your goal quickly without having to search around.
I’m sharing this because I like the software and want it to be easier to use in real, everyday work.
Are you on a Mac? Than I have used this solution:
Terminal:
defaults write com.canva.affinity "com.canva.affinity.ShowNewDocumentOnStartUp" 0
To reset:
defaults delete com.canva.affinity "com.canva.affinity.ShowNewDocumentOnStartUp"
Works fine. I don't know it there are workarounds for Windows.

We get sucked into the Affinity system. Than pay, pay, pay….

Yes Alfred, you think. Great!

I think that i will use 3 of them. The rest is mwah….in my opinion. But on the other hand, fonts are easely to use, activate or not. Well don Affinity!
