  1. I guess we'll have to wait until they release their roadmap.
  2. Are you suggesting that I should contact customer service to hide them or they'll do it automatically?
  3. I just have 2 questions: 1. Other than activating the personas, are there any new features released compared to the latest beta 1.7.1.399? In my account → Downloads & Products Keys, I have 4 Affinity publisher Beta purchases, they're so annoying and useless right now, are there any plan to remove them automatically?
  4. Tables with headers/repeated patterns/footers for both columns and rows are very easy to make once you understand how table formats work. You can also specify a different text style to each cell Formats.
  5. The office suites market is really saturated, Microsoft office, google docs, LibreOffice, Apple pages/keynotes... I don't see any real benefit from entering such market, especially that it's shifting more towards editing in the cloud right now.
  6. You can make 2 to three tiles of panels on top of each other. But you can't make them collapsable like Adobe at the moment. That might be included in a later release. You should also notice that whenever you have a tool selected, you can toggle the panels from the toolbar most of the time. Selecting text, for example, will put the paragraph and character panels in the toolbar where you can open and close them. This might be your best way.
  7. In text editors, all functions all typed using text tags, so a fuzzy finder is very useful. But in graphic design, all interaction is with the objects in canvas, you need to pick a tool, which there are not many of them, then select a layer and modify it based on its type. Also, there is no graphic design software that has such features to my knowledge. If you want to increase productivity, use keyboard shortcuts and customize them to your liking, you can work very efficiently this way.
  8. Lol, I don't know how I didn't notice that you said you're on MacOS, I think I focused too much about finding the color profile and didn't focus on the operating system. Sorry for the confusion.
  9. Affinity Publisher still has a long way to add much needed features (e.g. footnotes, span tables...) and improve the user experience, don't expect it to be perfect yet. Your best workaround is to create a small table, let's 2x2, then select the table and click on the double arrows at the end of the columns and rows, this will allow to enter a specific number for the total columns and rows, this is better creating a large one and then deleting the extra C/R You can create a table style with different styles for C/R headers and footers, you can then save the style or even save the table with text in it to an asset and then drag and drop it. Still, tables need a lot of features, especially: Spanning tables through pages Option to repeat the header when it spans through different pages Calculations inside tables Keyboard input of the number of rows and columns when creating a new table
  10. First, make you sure you install that custom color profile or copy it to windows color profiles folder: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color From there you can choose that color profile from the "new document" window, under "color" tab "color profiles" drop-down menu. Or when you have already created a document: "file" menu, choose "document setup" then you'll face the same options: Or when you export to a PDF: Click on "more..." button (on the bottom left next to "export" and "cancel" click on the "ICC profile" drop-down menu and choose your CMYK profile from there. And remember; make you sure you install that custom color profile or copy it to windows color profiles folder: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color BTW, does anyone know how to make images look smaller in a post, all of mine take so much space and I can't figure how to reduce their size.
  11. Thanks for your reply. I have resolved this problem by using a 3rd party uninstaller, it tracked all of the files and registry keys created by affinity and deleted them, then I made a new fresh install and it worked fine. Upon installation, the software asked me for the product code again, it said it's valid but can't write it to affinity folder for 2 times in a row, in the 3rd time it started without prompting the activation window. In miscellaneos, it shows that my software is registered under my eMail. BTW, why did you remove the log files? Do they show the product key in them?
  12. It's still on sale for 20% discount. If you have been a beta tester you are eligible for %30 discount.
  13. This would be a nice feature as different tasks require different panels.
  14. A lot of people have been asking for a story editor, where you link the text file so the writer can update the text without you having to reformat it again.
  15. 1. You need to create at least 1 page with 1 text frame, then either select it (select the edges, the text marker should not appear), then file > place... And choose your word document; or copy paste the text from word to that text frame. From their go the right side, at the bottom you'll see a red triangle, hold shift and left mouse click it once, it'll create more pages with linked text frames. BTW, this is also doable in InDesign, but slightly different steps. 2. Don't unlink text frames, you'll mess your document. Instead use paragraph styles, master pages, and inline/pinned images to format part/chapter pages.
  16. Well, I said that it works just fine, Id on't need ho reset it.
  17. It works for me, you can place a text instead of a bullet. For example: Publisher Photo Designer Can be turned to the following if you type Affinity in that text case Affinity Publisher Affinity Photo Affinity Designer
  18. I have used a 3rd party uninstaller to remove all of the files related to Affinity photo, designer, and publisher. I managed to re-install them this way. But when I tried to enter the serial code, I got a message that the key is valid but the installer can't write it in affinity folder for the first one or two times, then this message disappeared and I could use the software normally. I'm not sure if I'm in a trial period now or if it managed to activate!!!
  19. I downloaded the new 1.7.1.404 versions today (photo, designer, and publisher 1.7.1.399) as they have been released when I try to install them, I receive the message "Setup failed". I tried to run the installers as an administrator, "setup failed". I tried to uninstall the software, but couldn't found them in Windows "Apps and Features" I tried to use my current version installers, I get the option of repair or uninstall, both show the message "Setup failed" Here are the installation log files. Can someone help me with the issue please. Setup.log SetupUI.log
  20. I'm having "Setup failed" when I try to update photo/designer or publisher. I tried to run the installers as an administrator, but I still get the same error. I tried uninstalling the software and re-install them from scratch, but they disappeared form Windows "Apps and Features"
