[What Happened to the Resources?]

Thanks for the update and thanks for the helpful service you do for this community. 

I know that the page is not Affinity's but many of the links point towards Affinity's website and it seems that it has removed all resources. Why is that? 

[What Happened to the Resources?]

 I noticed that Affinity has removed a lot of the resources (brushes, styles, macros, etc.) from its website. Many of the links on this resource list (http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/resources/)  give a 404 error. What happened to these resources and why were they removed?

[Custom dictionary problem]

You have to set the language to Welsh again.

[Affinity apps in different versions]

As I understand it, StudioLink in Publisher only works if you update all apps to the same version.

[Format converted Frame Text?]

As time goes by you might discover other goodies that come in handy. 

[Format converted Frame Text?]

Seems like another reason to own the whole suite but even then I find it frustrating sometimes where to find the right tool for a job. It will take some time, I guess. :-)

[Format converted Frame Text?]

Go to View/Studio/Text Frame and give the frame a stroke.

[Copying and Layer dragging madness]

2. When dragging a layer down keeping your cursor in the space to the left of the layer icons will prevent you accidentally creating a child layer - it's just a learning curve

Nice to know. Thanks.

[Fonts]

For Calibri go to: https://www.rmtweb.co.uk/calibri-and-cambria-fonts-for-mac.

For Bauhaus go to: https://www.wfonts.com/font/bauhaus.

[Publisher table edit]

You're in the Table Tool and when the cursor is no longer hovering over the table, its edit mode changes into the table-creation mode again. Makes sense to me as it 'thinks' that you're ready to create another table.

[feature request or is there a way to... export multipage document as separate pdf, image, etc. files.]

[feature request or is there a way to... export multipage document as separate pdf, image, etc. files.]

When exporting (File/Export) a document, choose the desired format (PDF, JPEG, PNG etc.) in the Export Settings dialog and in the 'Area' dropdown select 'All Pages'. 

[Object stacking order]

Just select the blue object in the Layers panel and drag & drop it right under the red object.

[Transform Origin Point]

I can't reproduce that (Windows version). As long as the Transform Origin option is selected, I can move the object around with the origin point staying visible. 

[link images to Designer]

You can link images rather than embed them. Go to Documents/Resource Manager.

 

Edit: Oops, I may have spoken to soon. This option is available in Publisher but possibly not in Designer.

[Pattern Brush Packs]

Stuart, thank you so much. These pattern brushes look really good and come in very handy!

[Text activation across multiple pages]

Using Windows 10. Now flowing text is selected on all pages. Perhaps the latest update took care of this (1.7.1.404).

[Options for increasing and decreasing tools]

You can increase and decrease the size of a brush by using the [ and ] keys.

Also, I couldn't rotate the brushes

Use the left and right arrow keys to rotate the brush nozzle. You can do this before and during applying the brush. 

[Brush settings RMB + CTRL]

I click on: alt + (lmb+rmb at the same time) and it gives me good and easy control. I don't have to click on rmb first then lmb. But I still prefer using alt+rmb only.

For tablet users, try holding alt+rmb then press the pen and drag. This might work.

You can use left [ and ] brackets to change the size of the brushes.

[Templates for Books & Book Covers]

Got it. Thanks.

[Paste Into picture frame]

In the first image it shows that you're not working on the master page. That's why the picture frame doesn't have the editable selection handles nor the option to paste as content. You need to double-click on the masterpage icon to be able to select and edit it.
