When saving images in WFS 1.8.7 the images randomly change parts of the watch face such as the font being used making it different than what it is. Sometimes icons are missing or change from white to gray. This creates a problem when trying to publish as Google turns it down as it is not what is displayed on the watch face. Has anyone else seen this problem?
I had a lot of problems with 1.8.7, which I assumed might be a Mac version issue. The most annoying was the disappearance of three days of work. I save very regularly because it kept happening that WFS would quit even though I only wanted to quit Photoshop (in the foreground, of course).
So in this case it happened again, and it was like traveling in time when I opened the document again.
Hello. I also use 1.8.7 with a Mac. I released a WF with this version on Monday and have no problems with it. Everything is displayed correctly and works perfectly.
Hey SGWatchDesign. I also published watch faces with this version. It just didn’t go as smoothly as usual. I also noticed a strange increase and decrease in file size. The files in the screenshot are almost identical. (I’ve started saving copies for fear of repeating the disaster of the three lost days.)
Well, I don’t know what the problem is. Maybe it’s because I used a lot more bitmaps than usual in the last watch faces. But undoubtedly there is something wrong - whether it’s my computer or WFS.
Are you using an Apple Laptop ? I am sure I have asked before . It really depends what layers and fields you are using . I think it is the new ones causing problems but mine was a pretty standard tag formula that works here and there and is fine on WFS .
I have a Windows PC and I save the same image and one time it looked good and the next one the digital clock shows a different font. I took a total of about 40 images and almost half were not correct. It is random and have to repeat until I get everything correct. I did not see this with other versions.
Oh . Great . My issue did not show on WFS but is broken on the watch . I would ask you to test it but I know what the result will be . I think Samsung / Google are trying to steer us away from using Tag formulas . We found all the Tags that could move / scroll something smooth across the display got broken and there is no desire to fix it .
Yes Indeed . They are going to favour those that can hard code stuff in WFF on a UI like Android Studio . Make nice apps to add value to their Shop . I think Samsung gave a learning platform to many of their Favourite Makers . Well that is my guess. I am very glad to be able to make Faces for my Watches for free . However part of the Deal in using Beta Software is to offer feedback if something does not work . It is so often construed as Bitching . There must always be a degree of self expression or the feedback might as well come from Chat GPT .
I’ve only made 3 or 4 watch faces with this version, but when I save images to upload to the Play Store, I’ve seen this happen randomly. The last time, the digital clock changed the font in the saved images, but not all of them—maybe 40% or so. I can get the correct images if I go back and save again, but it may take 2 or 3 tries. It’s very annoying. Other times, I’ve had an icon on the watch face change opacity to maybe 50%, turning gray, or sometimes 0% opacity and missing. Going back and resaving a few times, I can get them back. It’s definitely random as I do nothing except take the pictures again to get them to work.
