[Problems with publisher 1.8]

Hi

Version 1.8 has been really unstable for me. I installed it a few days ago and it keeps crashing. Its hard to say extactly when, sometimes when i move something, sometimes when i paste a picture. Sometimes its just not accepting any inputs for a while, but doesnt crash. It also didn't seem to autosave, or at least it never gave me the option to restore the document, when i reopened the program. Thats not the big deal, i just save before i do really anything, but the whole thing is still pretty annoying to deal with, constantly reopening the software and all the documents that where open. I tried to go back to 1.73, but when i opened the document it said changes with a newer version were made and it can't open the thing.

Does anyone else experience the same thing? Is this a general problem with 1.8 or is it just me?
I wasn't sure if i should post this here or in bug report.

[Adjust text to an object]

oh okay, thanks. It was just me being dumb and not using fillertext for that quick exploration. That was what i was trying to do, to get the text to flow around the circle.

Thanks a lot!

[Adjust text to an object]

Hi

 

I'm trying to do the Thing in the first Picture, only when i do it, it doesn't work and just shifts the test til after the "indentation". To do it, i made a rectangle, overlapped a circle and boolean cut it away. then i clicked the text icon and selected the shape. The cursor changed to the pentagon what should in my opinion have been the cue that it accepts the shape as the border of the text field. But when i put text in it, it didn't work.

What am i doing wrong? Does it only work with objects defined by paths or does it not work on round indentations or have i done something wrong in the process? I'd appreciate any help with this.

 

Thank you

Felix

[automatic counting of art boards]

I think, if you don't change the name of an art board, it should automatically count up if you copy it.
I'm working a lot with small art boards, that i copy over and over to create versions. So if i just drag it over with strg pressed, I want it to count up, so I know my progression through the process.
And if you don't want it, you can just change the first Artboards name and it won't count up.
I think that would be a really easy and nice addition.
