Well, Fudge. It's still choking for me. EDIT: OK, looks like there was something wrong with the Text Area I was using. I ended up going into Designer, creating a new document and I copied & pasted everything but the Text Area. For that, I created a NEW Text Area, then went into the original and copied the contents, not the whole Text Area. It's a kludge, but it got me the results I was looking for. I suspect it was strictly that object and not Publisher itself. I'll find out later ...

I'm using Publisher; updated to 1.9 ... whenever I attempt to save the file I'm working on, Publisher closes without any kind of error message. Changes are not saved. I attempted to save as a different filename and the same thing happens - Publisher quits with no error message. I attempted to open the new version of the saved file and I got the error message that Publisher didn't support. See attached image. More information: I just tried (again) to save the document in a new location. After several seconds, Publisher crashed, leaving a file with the correct name but 0 bytes in size in the file folder.

Thank you! I actually toyed with a version of what you posted - I was just hoping that there was something a little more, I don't know - "tweakable"

I'm probably phrasing this incorrectly, but, here goes: I'm looking to have an odd-shaped curve that I want to have filled with a color and have the line black. However, I don't want the two end points of the curve to be connected by a straight line - I want just the curve and its nodes to be lined and filled. Then, I'd like to apply the 3D fx to it. My issue is that along the unclosed line between the start and end points, I'm getting an odd artifact. I've tried applying a transparency gradient to eliminate the odd section, but it's not very effective. Any thoughts? Is there some kind of setting or tweak that I can change or do? Please see attached image for the example I'm talking about.

FWIW, you can add me to the list of people anxiously awaiting this feature!

Thanks for posting this video - I, for one, would LOVE to see a similar feature in Designer!!!

It would be very handy to be able to define a curved path and then distribute objects along the path - the objects could be centered along various snapping points, i.e. top left, top middle, top right, etc. The spacing could be equidistant from path start to path end; or, if you have more than one control point on the curve, have the option of snapping the objects to the control points. Hopefully I didn't babble too much and was able to get across what I mean

It would be extremely cool to be able to apply a gradient to a Gaussian blur on an object. Say you have a rectangle - the Gaussian blur could go from 0 at one end to 10px (or whatever) on the other. The object would start out solid and crisp at the one end, and gradually become more blurred towards the other. Would be nice for creating more realistic shadows, etc.

Hi! I'm not sure how powerful the chipset is on the Fire HD tablet - it might not be feasible to port it over. However, if it is feasible, who knows if it would be financially practical. I suspect (could be VERY wrong, though!) that the majority of people who would be using this app would tend to be the ones who already have an investment in Apple iOS hardware. I know I'm guilty of getting my iPad Pro solely because of the Affinity apps

You're welcome.

Going out on a limb here, but .... Serif isn't "sleeping." They're busy, working on fixing bugs, implementing new features, fixing the bugs that inevitably result from introducing new features, etc. What we see on the outside is not in any way, shape or form a reflection of what's happening behind closed doors. As a side note, you're liable to get a warmer reception to any observations or requests you might make if you couch them in more polite tones.

I know I'm way behind the times in spotting and commenting on your post here, but ... WOW!!! This looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it when you're ready to unleash it on us Thank you for all of your hard work.

Could you remap the Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ keys to Ctrl+Up/Ctrl+Down ?

Is there another? (I'm always looking for new methods of doing things )

Ok, I'm probably going to sound like an idiot, but ... is there any way, other than importing into Photo, of applying the equivalent of a Live Filter to an object in Designer? For instance: if I had a rectangle that I wanted to go from smooth to blurred, left to right, is there a way of doing that? I was thinking of having a duplicate of the object blurred, then overlay it on the original object, then apply a transparency gradient to that ...
