[IDML files not opening]

It took my APub 5 seconds to open this file.

[Image size after processing]

Affinity and smaller file sizes? 🤔

[PDF and text flow]

On opening the pdf, did you have ‘Group lines of text into text frames’ checked in the pdf options dialog?

[Adobe Bridge Alternatives]

I agree.

[Publisher unexpectedly quit after quitting]

I see.

I checked the newly installed hyphenation dictionary (a new download) and that one is ok, no html.

So that solves it.

Thanks.

[Linked Text Frames Change Font Sizes]

Looks familiar.

 

[Publisher unexpectedly quit after quitting]

I removed all nl-NL dictionary files from folder ~/library/spelling.

And yes, it makes a difference:
– no more 'unexpectedly quit' messages;
– no more hyphenation.

Applied settings

In System Prefs > Keyboard > Tekst > Spelling: Dutch

In APublisher

– Text Style > Language > Spelling: Dutch

– Text Style > Language > Hyphenation: Auto (there is no option 'Dutch' in the ‘Hyphenation’ this list, but choose any other language from this list and the text will hyphenate, be it in onorthodox places)

– Text Style > Paragraph > Hyphenation: Use Auto Hyphenation: yes

Remedy

Restored file ‘hyph_nl_NL.dic’ in subfolder ’nl_NL’ inside ’spelling’ folder (not the nl_NL.dic and nl_NL.aff files). Now hyphenation works again without ‘unexpectedly quit’ messages.

Thanks for your help

Dictionary nl_NL.zip

[Publisher unexpectedly quit after quitting]

I have installed an extra nl_NL dictionary. I believe because the abbreviation in Publisher didn't work as expected.

I'll remove it and see what happens.

Thanks.

[Publisher unexpectedly quit after quitting]

Having saved my file and quit Publisher, after a while (20–30 sec) I often get the message that Publisher unexpectedly quit.

Now, for me it didn't quit unexpectedly as I quitted the program myself and didn't see anything extraordinary happening, so I'm a bit puzzled here.

Happens with 10.1 retail and 10.2 beta and earlier with 1.9 as well.

Crash report attached.

MacOS 10.4.6 Mojave

[Affinity Publisher - Issue with background color]

this is what I meant

Scoreboard mod.afpub

[Clone tool not working reliably]

Not too experienced in frequency separation, but I noticed you seem to be working in an invisible layer.

Could that be the cause of the challenge you're facing?

[Affinity Publisher - Issue with background color]

For me it was the transparent part of the png that caused the problem.

[Affinity Publisher - Issue with background color]

Looks familiar to me.

I would say: give it a try without transparancy. Try using a clipping path instead.

[Text gets rescaled as it flows between text boxes in a document that was rescaled]

I agree with Walt. It's not this handle on the outer bottom right corner accidentaly used.

It's somthing in the software.

 

 

[Text gets rescaled as it flows between text boxes in a document that was rescaled]

What you describe reminds me of this:

 

[Thumbnail or photo scanning feature]

Just tried with GraphicConverter (by Lemkesoft) on Mojave.

I can get a preview there, start a slide show and the spacebar even activates quicklook within this app.

Maybe worth a try.

 

[Convert old Adobe Pagemaker Docs]

Outdoorslover

My InDesign CS6 opens Pagemaker documents. With the help of Peter Kahrels Batch Convert script I can convert a bunch of Pagemaker files to IDML in one go.

These IDML files can than be openend in Publisher.

If I can help you out with that, just let me know.

[Duplicating symbols?]

In the layers panel, select a symbol and expand.

Select any or all of the objects within the symbol and change.

All symbols are updated instantly.

This doesn't work if you select the symbol itself (on the artboard or in the layers panel). Then only the selected symbol is changed.

I suspect that's what you're doing. As I did at first.

 

[Got a pink splotch in a DNG file that only Affinity sees]

In APhoto on my Mac, I click ‘Assistant Options’ in the toolbar. Then ‘Develop Assistant’.

There I change Raw Engine from ‘Serif Labs’ to ‘Apple (Core Image RAW)’.

When I open your file now, I don't see any pink haze.

I Suppose there's a similar option in Windows.

Worth to give a try.

[table and column dimensions]

The only way I found thus far to change the width of a column is by dragging (in the grey bar on top of the table) while pressing the shift key.

[Baseline shift buggy]

I fear the baseline shift in the character panel is somewhat buggy.

Clicking the up-arrow gives values 1 - 11 - 111 - 1111 etc.

Clicking the down-arrow also gives remarkable results.

Having checked the retail version and both versions of Publisher, I see the same behaviour there.

 

[Object not selected after being creation?]

Hi

Having selected the Elipse tool, you can see ‘Select new object’ in the context toolbar.

Tick the box in front of it. That's all.

[1.9.4.2 bug: Cropping a container layer rasterizes vector content on export]

Hi

I noticed you have Layer 1 set to ‘Passthrough’.

Try changing it to ’Normal’. I had the same sort of experience and that did the trick.

[Publisher pre sale question]

Hi

In print dialog choose ‘Document Layout’ (below Paper Size).

Then Model: Tiled

Overlap: as desired.
