hallo. ja, in affinity kann man die bilder als .jpg exportieren. die lokale website zeigt im browser (chrome) die bilder auch an, aber die zum host transferierten bilder zeigt der webbrowser dann nicht mehr an..

I need avif. It offers solid compression, excellent quality, and it's well-supported by software and operating systems, making it a strong choice compared to other image formats.

I've been using APub (Affinity Publisher) for a few years now and haven't gotten around to this concept where paragraph and character styles are throwed into one bag. And I really tried not to be prejudiced against this solution and to give it a chance. This simply doesn't work and is not very convenient. And I really tried not to be prejudiced against this solution and to give it a chance. This simply doesn't work and is not very convenient. In addition to all this, there is forced sorting by name alphabetically. It's not good to work like this, especially in bigger projects.

@jaxfh, As for the floating panel for alignment operations, such a request has already been made. So you can share your opinion on this subject in the post linked below.

Please! We really need a tool like this, almost all my work is with gradients and the fact they are basically not reuseable is so frustrating. We also could use a feature that has gradient presets, transparent to opacity, vice versa, would be even more awesome if we had maps we could use to quickly remap an image like in Clip Studio. I get gradient packs all the time with clip, wish we had something like that with Designer. Just having the basics like in Photoshop would go so far.... Even Krita has some basics even if they aren't very good some presets are better then nothing. Please allow for global styles, or bare minimum presets we can save and alter!

Anyone else having the issue of the Beta not importing all the installed fonts from Google? I now have nearly 2000s fonts installed thanks to the Github version of those fonts, but they only appear in retail. Do I need to reset the Beta to make things work?

As happened in the past, Bitdefender is blocking installation of the newest beta (2.5.0.2415) EXE installer Similar message (below) for all three apps Windows 11, 23H2, Bitdefender, all up to date Already reported to BitDefender Such a bummer. I tend to really like Bitdefender. Got burned using "only" Windows Defender previously.

No that's not better at all. Why did you even chime in? This thread is literally about the same issue I am having. Did you even read the post? "So unhappy about this, but those file sizes make it impossible to use the Affinity suite for the amount of work I do - I also create a digital magazine, and the .AFPUB files are much much larger than my .INDD files."

Bummer. Maybe another user or Serif will be able to help.

Walt, thanks. I am aware that the samples issue predated 2.5 but I was not in a Beta group then. It seems to be a usability issue still, so why not 2.5. I have not yet tried your suggestion. I'll do so as I have enough geek in me not to be intimidated by the task. However, I think your suggested workaround supports my recommendation. We're getting up there in Windows prompting, just to have easy access to sample files.

A restart didn't help. Other file types, like jpgs, preview correctly.

Walt, I have another problem on my iPad Pro M1 - I was eager to test the Variable Font functionality, but, I did the mistake to install the V-fonts before I started the new Publisher beta (2.50) - all of a sudden the fontmenu in Publisher is almost useless, it scrolls so slow slow, and lagging heavily… Now I can’t if it’s a bug in latest beta for iPad, or, some fonts are interfering with something… How is it on your iPad? Is the fontmenu OK?

File previews went back to normal for me after uninstalling MSIX and installing the MSI apps — preview size is as expected and resizes based on width of the preview pane. I don’t think I’ve come across reports about what you’re experiencing. Shot in the dark, but have you restarted your computer?

I uninstalled the MSIX version, downloaded and installed the MSI. I now have previews - but they're very small, maybe 50% larger than the thumbnails. And they don't resize. Is this what I should expect? I don't find any options in File Explore that affect the size of images in the Preview pane.

Hi Mark, I suggest starting with Ctrl held down and clearing your user data. If the issue is with that missing hard drive, this should clear it up. Good luck!

FWIW it doesn't do that in Photoshop either

Thanks. I probably saw it there when I first visited the thread, but that was way too long ago now!

Honk ‘Shadow Length’ (SHLN) doesn’t work. It should be able to do what you see in the GIF near the top of this page (see the latter part of the animation):

Hi Philip. The secret is to use the Notes panel to set Note Body > Note Body Style a unique text style and then you can search for that style. Using a style is a good idea anyway, and it's easy to search for. I do this all the time. Cheers

Are you asking for an equivalent menu command with keyboard shortcut similar to double-clicking one of the size handles? If so, it would probably have to use the anchor selected in Transform if it was just a single command. Otherwise, it would need a submenu of commands for each handle. To me this seems a perfect opportunity for a script, except that we don't have scripting yet. But hopefully when scripting is available it should be possible to do this with a short script and then you could assign a keyboard shortcut to it. One more idea to add to the wishlist for scripts!

I think they should be *in* the Typography panel (in a new section that can optionally collapse just like the existing ones).

FWIW, this is where it is shown in the first post by @Ash after the "Variation settings on iPad." text.

And ignoring the Adobe method and instruction - although very similar...... Any undesired effects around the outside of the subject can be removed either by eraser, or by adding a new pixel layer and painting over the areas in white. pen2.mp4

I'm no expert on iPad font installers but I installed Roboto Flex with Fontster. I tested it with Photoshop to confirm it was installed properly. But I couldn't get it to work with the Publisher 2.5 beta on iPad, selecting Roboto Flex showed a ? before the family name, there was nothing in the font style menu, and there was no Variations button. Maybe I'm missing something.

I wasn’t looking in the right place! You need to go to ‘Text Studio > Character > Variations’.
