    iPadOS 15 seems to be able to rename OCIO folders to packages natively (avoid iCloud's Downloads folder though). Docs have reworked the iPad OCIO topic as a result. Comments welcome as ever.

    @siaccarino
    Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums  
    Morning - i've made a change to topics like this so that Windows users will at least see some topic text being reported. In this instance, that scanning is not available directly from within the app.

    Also interested in discussions about help being conditionally displayed according to the reader's browser user agent. We decided to take this approach so our Mac users wouldn't be offered unnecessary Windows information in-app and vice versa for Windows users. It's something docs could look at in V2.0. Further opinions?  
  13. Thanks
    acapstick got a reaction from walt.farrell in Help Error: Flow Options   
    I agree - the SEE ALSO ref to Flowing options is misleading so i've removed that.
    While the flow options are not explained in detail they are covered explicitly and correctly in the Paragraph panel topic. Otherwise we would have duplicate paragraphs.html and paragraphPanel.html topics..

    Hi SFT/cmu,
    I'm the editor for the upcoming Affinity Publisher Workbook, which I can confirm is in development and will be a hardcopy deliverable just like the Affinity Designer Workbook and Affinity Photo Workbook. 
    No news for you on release date.
    Regards
