I would love if we could have great plugin support instead so in theory you could implement footnotes yourself.
Myself too. I did not find the usefulness of incorporating a steering wheel on my car, because I'm driving only on straight lines, but I would love if we could have a plugin allowing eventualy it.
Be serious. Footnotes/endnotes/etcnotes are not an option, but a necessity except in a very rare case!

All this is very interesting.
Quotethe explanation [of Publisher] isn't informative.
Yes. And help does not help much, especially since in French we find in the French translation false meanings and even sometimes misinterpretations.
I use QuarkXPress and Indesign with a preference for the first. With Publisher, I have the default of those who know the PAO thoroughly… which finally joins the default of beginners since the software is different.
Suggestion: it should actually be more precise help on the difference between the two features, and the interface also distinguishes them better.

I get an error message when exporting PDF.
Here is the Google translate.
QuoteOverflow of text
One or more text boxes have an overflow.
How to find the text box that contains an overflow of its content?
I see the overflow icon when I’m on it, but how do I find the box right away when there’s a lot of it in the document? I don’t see myself having to go through 1,500 pages and go through each of the text objects one by one. I imagine there must be a solution.

Here’s how to reproduce the bug.Select a string. Go to Text box/Typography. Click on the character style in superscript. It does not work.

Here’s how to replicate the crash.
We create a page template, named here Chapter, we insert the text of examples, we then create some pages that use this model Chapter, then we select all the text on this page.
The software crashes when deleting the text.

For magazines, this is not important.
Hello Moon! You must return to Earth!
Footnotes are not important only for short graphical documents, such as a cover, or flyer (a very small part of the job in desktop publishing). I do not know a book, a magazine, a student report, a company presentation, or a university thesis that does not require footnotes. It is even the essence of the service.
I did a test with a novel of 50 pages. This contains 20 footnotes. The text is just sticking in the right place. QuarkXpress 37 min. Affinity Publisher 5 hrs 12 min. What can I say about a famous actor’s bio whose author was on TV? It contained 480 footnotes…
This is a serious failure to correct as soon as possible, not a favour to please some eccentrics.
-
A desktop publishing software without the management of footnotes, end-of-chapter notes, end-of-section notes, or end-of-book notes is virtually useless. This forces us to stay under Indesign or QuarkXPress. This feature is one of the core functions of the profession.

Serif wrote me a message that will please many of us.

We do not have a feature that you have shown in your video, but I can get it as an enhancement.
Seeing the quality of its other products, I imagine that it will certainly be much better than the video of this old competitor software, that we can for example indicate the color of border (here gray, with a margin of outlandishness).

5 of the 6 fonts offered with Affinity Publisher are unusable because they do not meet the standard.
The author or the authors of these fonts have forgotten that 95% of the world’s population use accented fonts.- Either it removes the accentuation of the letters : É becomes E, À becomes A, Ç becomes C, etc.
- Either it replaces with letters in lowercase instead of uppercase letters. É becomes é, etc.
- Either it replaces letters by others: Πbecomes OE, etc.
The consequences are important because it can completely change the meaning of words.
Quote"Le chanteur s'est tué enchanté" (The singer was killed delighted) become "Le chanteur s'est tue enchante" (The singer fell silent enchants).
Can these fonts be corrected or replaced by other more professional ones?

Hi, Walt.Farrell.
I am a little surprised by the complication that seems imposed. The difficulty here comes from the yellow to pink gradient that imposes an intermediate step to standardize the color otherwise everything would be done in one click.
Here is what a software released in 2012, Photofiltre, and GIMP was doing long before that. There must still be such an elegant solution with Photo! Photofiltre is still light years away from Photo!
-
Sorry, but, the terms in English differ from French, which creates a misunderstanding. Can I ask in screenshot how should I proceed?
I did not understand how to remove the yellow part of this image and so crop only the white page. I imagine that it must be done with one click with Photo since softwares like GIMP and Photofiltre do it very easily. How to proceed ?
-
Thank you, Mikerofoto.
So I had to actually click the Apply button! Gross cropping (on the fly) is now done.
How to realize the smart crop that will detect the "edges", here the border that delimits the page. Step before the last screen copy (5) to automatically obtain the final image (6).

Hi,
I did not find the answer in the user manual. I want to crop an image. It is usually a rectangular surface, to make a new image. The answer provided by the technical support is completely useless because it does not explain anything.
Here is how I proceed with an old software, Photofiltre in old version (2012). This is about the same process more accurate and faster with GIMP 2019.
How to do from begin to end with Photo?
Thanks.

Hello,
The translation of Publisher in French is overall excellent.
However, I find many inaccuracies, as well as errors in appearance.
Here are a few. There are many more.
Do you have a tool that allows you to go straight to the point rather than forcing time-consuming screen shots?
Myself too. I did not find the usefulness of incorporating a steering wheel on my car, because I'm driving only on straight lines, but I would love if we could have a plugin allowing eventualy it.
Reference guides: customing
in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Posted
In other softwares, it is convenient to differentiate the reference guides according to their destination: page marker, security zone, cut zone, back, etc. I do not find this feature.
Can I create custom color, thickness, and filling style guides in Affinity Publisher?
