All clear. I will do it when I am back home from work.

@stokerg I assume when you say database file, you mean the CSVf file I use in the Data Merge window? I am happy to collect the details

Yes, I am having the same problem in both the current released version and the latest v2.6.3 beta version. Especially hangs when trying to run data merge of a small CSV file 9 (12 lines, A to AU columns)

I am working on creating a calendar document and made a document that containers data merge fields for every weekday of the month and then using the fields in the table representing the month. When I go to the Data Merge Management window and click Generate it will start generating the new document with the pages but always crashes halfway. Using macOS 15.3.1 (24D70) on a MacBook Pro 14" M4 Max 36GB / 1TB base model

Mixed feelings about this, happy for the team that they got acquired but as a customer I am less excited. I really liked that you could buy the software without needing a subscription. I hope it will stay like for the coming years. If not, I think I will just switch back to Adobe Creative Suite.

Are you saying that my Illustrator CS4 copy should be able to open Creative Cloud 2022 files? I don’t think that even didn’t work for Adobe software

Interesting I have to checkout this .msix format and how it compares to good old .msi 🤔 Worked on tooling for the latter many years ago

Sorry for the slow reply to your helpful message! I had my birthday and been taking time off from the computer Thank you for taking the time answering my question and the time to go through the tutorials and whether they are possible to be achieved in Photo. Looks like I had higher hopes for some of the tutorials I am going to try out the halftone tutorial based on your video now! Do think these are nice tutorials that TextureLabs makes maybe the limitations you have listed above (e.g. use perlin noise with masks) will become possible in the future! Besides of that I really enjoy using the Affinity products.

I am trying to follow the tutorials of TextureLabs on Youtube but they are using Photoshop. I was wondering if there is any cheatsheet for Affinity Photo were I lookup which filters and/or layer modes to use to mimic the ones that can be found in PhotoShop? I have searched the forum but I might have used the wrong keywords Some of the tutorials: https://texturelabs.org/tutorials/retro-halftone-effects-photoshop-tutorial/ https://texturelabs.org/tutorials/weathered-live-type/ https://texturelabs.org/tutorials/color-bleed-watercolor-effect-photoshop-tutorial/ Probably this tutorial is not possible? (Art brush) https://texturelabs.org/tutorials/art-history-brush-photoshop-tutorial/ Thank you!

Thank you for your replies both are correct. I have one file Logomark.afdesign and then I want to make a few more files like Logo+text V1, Logo+Text V2, Logo Sticker V1, Logo Sticker V2 in all these files I want to be able to link my Logomark.afdesign and when I have made a change Logomark.afdesign. I want to be able to see the changes in the other files. So far I only see Publisher have this functionality but it feels a bit weird to need to use a page layout app for this. My understanding of symbols is that they are contained in the afdesign file? Last time I tried this the symbols were gone when I made a new Blank Designer document. I have the feeling that Illustrator was capable to do this but it has been many years ago I have used it.

I was wondering what the best approach is to use a logo mark in different Designer documents? I have made a lovely logo of a drawn face and now I want to make some custom alternative designs of logo with different text. What's the best practice to handle it? I don't really want copy paste the logo design in each document. I would like it to pick up changes in the draw face Design document so these changes get reflected in all designs. I noticed I can place a document in a designer document but these seems to get embedded. Do I need to make my designs in Publisher?

Yes, this would be great to have

I haven't found the need for footnotes in my book projects. I would love if we could have great plugin support instead so in theory you could implement footnotes yourself.

I quite enjoy using Visual Studio Code

I just bought the Huion tablet to experiment with Affinity Photo/Designer but it doesn't behave as expected yet so something has to be wrong. Looks like it's laggy then my Apple Pencil on my iPad device (non iPad Pro) so that's an improvement. Do you see the lagginess too? Also I don't need to pay £20 per year to enable tablet mode on my iPad using Duet Display. I think for £44 the Huion tablet ain't bad the last tablet I had for the Wacom Intuos2 (2001) so a great improvement over all for me
