    Export Persona Change Existing Slice To Slice ALL Layers

    in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

    Posted

    There is still to way of making the export to take all the layers of a slice after it has been created, correct?

    I often have the same problem and creating the slices manually is much more time consuming and not as accurate. 

    Just to elaborate on what I mean, here's an image. I already have 100+ slices that cover the correct area I need, but they were created as an object slice. I need them to become an area slice. 
    Is my only option to go back and create each slice manually?

    Help! Too slow I can't work - What specs do I need?

    in V1 Bugs found on macOS

    Posted

    Hello,

    I work on files that are 20 to 35 MB. Lots of pages (300 to 600), lots of master pages (10 to 20) and lots of hyperlinks in pages and masters. I make calendars, so the pages have tables and text, no photos. And every-time I want to edit text, I get the spinning wheel for 30+ seconds... it is driving me crazy. This happens in all my calendar files, not just one.

    I have Publisher 1.8.4

    My specs are:

    2018 MacMini

    macOS 10.15.6

    Processor: 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i3

    Memory: 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

    Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

    128GB SSD storage

     

    I'm attaching photos to show the kind of pages I have.

    For affinity staff: if you give me a link I can share my editable if you think there could be something to see in the file itself.

    For everyone: Let's assume I get a new computer, what specs exactly should I look for???

     

    Thank youuu!

    Hyperlinks Made on Master Pages Don't Export Correctly

    in V1 Bugs found on macOS

    From investigating that file there seems to be an issue with hyperlinks failing to export if an object is clipping outside of the page bounds (with a couple of nuances to this), you'll notice the ones failing to export are placed at -0.8px on the left, and the one failing on the right is at 0px on Y, by moving this down 1px, and moving the left rectangles in so they are at 0px I was able to get them all to export. For now it is probably best to not clip outside the page bounds when placing objects you intend to hyperlink, but this bug has been logged. Thanks for reporting it

    Wow I'm glad you found the trigger! I will try doing the rectangles this way. Thank you!

    Hyperlinks Made on Master Pages Don't Export Correctly

    in V1 Bugs found on macOS

    Dear Affinity Staff,

    I need to create page-type hyperlinks on the master page. Once I create them, I can see the hyperlinks on the "hyperlinks studio" but once I export to PDF (yes with the hyperlinks option checked), the links do not work correctly. Some work and some don't. Even more frustrating, the ones that work or not work, keep changing on every export. 

    I've had this problem for months, on multiple files and on all Publisher versions I've tested. It is the only reason I still pay for InDesign! Please provide me with a link so that I can share the editable file with you. 

    My process to create the hyperlinks is:

    I make a shape with Rectangle tool, then: Text > Interactive > Insert Hyperlink > Select the page number

    I'm attaching the exported PDF, I use a red tint to make the rectangles visible. In this example, I made 8 rectangles/hyperlinks and on this particular PDF,  3 work and 5 don't.

    I am on Mac 10.14.5 and currently on Affinity 1.7.1

    Thanks!

    Hyperlinks added on a master page don't start working in the document unless I re-apply the master.

    At a quick look at Before.pdf and After.pdf, my feeling is that  Business I,  Business II, Goals, Fitness and Budget would have to be on different pages for each week so I cannot see a way that they could be applied from a master.  The months CAN be set as  hyperlinks on a Master page and set to jump to the first page of a month.  From there you would need to set a hyperlink for each week of that month, and then from each week you would need to set hyperlinks to Business I, Business II, Goals, Fitness and Budget for that week. Now by my reckoning, that would mean at least 52 * 5 hyperlinks that would need to be manually set.

    Like Old Bruce, I've done a roughout, for Jan to March, with only links for Business I and Business II set up manually.  Months can be jumped to from either the cover or any open page and these were set as hyperlinks on Master Pages to the appropriate page representing the first day of the month. For January Bus I is on page 2  and Bus 2 is on page 4.To get from Bus I  page 2 to Bus 2 (page 4) , I had to set hyperlink from Bus 2 text Page 2 to Page 4,  then a hyperlink from Bus 1 page 4 to jump back to page 2.  This has to be done for each month.  

    Here is my trial Planner.pdf  which shows the links working.  The actual Publisher file is here trial planner.afpub  and it does include some anchors which I originally used but realised it was easier and better to simply set hyperlinks to jump to pages.

    Is this the sort of thing you are trying to achieve? 

     It would be great if one could produce a formula that  could calculate which page you wanted to jump to so that if you were on the first week of January and wanted to go to Fitness for that week, then clicking on a symbol (such as one of your red squares) would jump forward to Fitness

    Thanks for putting time into this. The sections on the far left are actually a different part of the book, they are not part of the months, so it is much easier than you were saying, sorry about the confusion. I already have this planner and many others working in the right way, but I have been having to add the hyperlinks on InDesign until Publisher stops having bugs with the hyperlinks.

    I checked your example and it seems to works fine, it seems to export correctly all the links you created. However, in my case, when I add the hyperlinks, 90% of them will not work once I export the PDF, unless I re-apply the master, then they will work. 

    In my BEFORE example, if you try to click on JAN, MARCH, APRIL or MAY, there is no link there when it should be. Those hyperlinks were created on the same master page as the hyperlinks of the red squares, and red squares' links do work. 
    Without doing anything else, if I re-apply the master, then export, now those     JAN, MARCH, APRIL or MAY links start working... Meaning there is a bug in the way changes on master pages are applied to the document, I should not have to re-apply the master to "force" those changes.


    Now, as I am writing this, I am trying again using the new new version (1.7.0.292) and they might have fix it!!! Since it was a weird bug, I am not 100% sure yet. If I can replicate the bug again, I will be back here begging Affinity to fix this.

    Random is a mild word. I shall think on this. You want the months on each page to go to the beginning of the month and the sections on the far left are for a different part of the book but you want the same to happen with those. Is that correct?

    And what are the red shapes in the corners of the pages?

    Yes the sections on the far left are just for a different section of the book. The red squares are not part of the planner, I just add them to test the creation of objects and then applying links to those objects on a master page. The visual properties of the objects update normally across the document when I add them on the master page, but the hyperlink property does not work most of the times. Unless I reapply the master.

    I just did a quick nasty Document with ten pages and it works as I think you want it to. There are two Hyperlinks on the Master pages, the top one goes to page one which is a page type of link and the bottom one goes to Page 2 which is an Anchor in some text on page two. The top Hyperlink is a graphic and the bottom hyperlink is the text.

    This works with the exported pdf so long as I have include hyperlinks checked in the 'more' section of the pdf export.

    Yeah I tried yours and it works. Sometimes it works for me, let's say if I add 10 hyperlinks, once exported 2 will work and 8 will not. Unless I re-apply the master, then 9 of them will work. But then I have the master applied twice in all pages.

    Maybe it starts having trouble once you have more masters, cause I use 10 masters (only adding links to one though). 

    Check out these 2 PDF, one is before I re-apply the master. The second one is after I re-apply it.

    Before:
    The red squares work, "BUSINESS I" and "BUSINESS II" work, but none of the links in the months work.

    After:
    Now JAN, MARCH, APRIL and MAY work (colourful tabs).

     

    I have been trying this for 3 months, and I still cannot pinpoint exactly when or why sometimes they don't work... It just seems random to me.
