Hello! So I am having this problem since the new Version (I now updated to 2.0.3). I tried on both of my computers and with new, upgraded or already created books. Double-Clicking on a page to go to it results in a crash of the application (no error shown) when doing to often. Simplest way: Create a new book, add some pages, double click one after another to go there - crash. I could add a file, but it occurs with every file I have or create.

Thanks for all the input. I was just curious if it can be automated. Thanks

Funny guys! It's no matter what Adobe does when I buy Affinity. The question is, what the customer expect. So all those who argue affinity or serif is not adobe should come off their high horse. I think Affity is made for being productive and the question is: What do i need to be: Being able to exchange my files with others or import them. Backwards compatibilty should always be possible without workaround for all functions that exists in both versions. And it's easy. I once made a Roleplaying Map Generator. Every function I included I checked when opening a file and ignored them for future functions and handled them for actual ones. The compatibility mode took me an hour or two for a software I programmed for hundrets of hours. So no argue in small team. It's just standard Affinity Designer V2 crashes just my moving from one to another page when clicking on the pages overview. Multiple Times a day. And I just create my Instagram Posts with that at the moment. So two or three stories with up to 10 pages. That is quiet buggy. But I can't go backward to V1 cause I made the mistake of converting the posts. Okay, I could rebuild them, but it should be possible just to save them fpr v1. No one expects Indesign. This software has a far better price so I accept, that there are less functions. But some features are really standard for a photo programm, a publishing software or a designer app, so it's hard to understand why there are so many cool functions while standard is still missing. By the way, I bought all Affinity products when V1 was published, I bought V2 immediately. It's because I accept small issues, but I would expect some more standard features. I still need Adobe because I can't work productive with any Affinity Software without switching to Adobe from time to time (once every day, I bet). And I am not a professional designer.

Hello! As (in Germany) there is no indentation for new paragraphs on the top of a page if you do best practises, I tried to create a style in Affinity Designer V2, but I am not able to. Is there a way to create such a style or would I need to do this manually in ADV2? I can do this after a headline because I can set the next style, but how would it work for a new page? Best Greetings Ingo

In German books the first line of paragraph is normally indented but not for the first paragraph on a new page. I was thinking how to solve that automatically. I could to it by hand of cause, but then a change could lead dot a wrong indention of a whole chapter. So how do you do this for your books? Is there a solution with Affinity Publisher?

I would like to import data fields (or a complete table) from an excel file or database dynamically, so when the original file is changed the data in affinity will be changed, too.

Are you using the latest release version? 1.8.5.703 Can you reproduce it? As often as I like to Does it happen for a new document? If not do you have a document you can share that shows the problem? Absolutely If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following: I can do both What is your operating system and version (Windows 10, OSX Mojave, etc)? Windows 10, latest updates What happened for you (and what you expected to happen) Placing a xlsx file created with PlanMaker (from the SoftMaker Office) don't show all content. The text is shown and all formulas but not the numbers. Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did). Placed a xlsx file Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video.

Well Well, still you can select and there is no feedback that you can't copy. That's not a good way for a user feedback And well, as being in software industrie for close to 30 years now, I totally disagree. Also if it's not a pixel layer it's still a layer that could be cutted. You can cut anything - even triangles in 3d vector software. So perhaps the developers might didn't knew how to do that (I think it's easy, it would be just cutting out a part of the original image), it still should give feedback that the software can't do that

Well, I find this irritating, too. I understand that it's not a pixel layer, but I can make a selection on that and pressing copy and paste doesn't inform me, I am not able to. And I don't understand why I am not able to! I would expact to do a crop on the orginal image and copy the cropped image when pressing copy and paste.

@Gabe Of course I can (sorry it took a while, but I was on holiday) MergingError.afphoto

Hello everyone! I got one layer with a reduced opacity (20%) the layers above is 100%. While exporting to Photoshop, the pixels opacity is reduced to 20% AND the layers opacity is 20%, too. Turning that back to 100% I only got 20% of the opacity of the pixels. What is your operating system and version : Windows 8.1 with latest patches Affinity Photo Version: 1.7.3.481 What happened for you : The opacity is set for the pixels not only for the layer while exporting to psd Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did): Setting one layer to 20% Exporting to psd Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video:

@fde101 Thanks. Oh, I really didn't knew how to set the rotation point. That was helpful. Thank you for letting me know!

@Gabe Thanks, I will try that

Hello everyone! I got several problems with colors in Affinity Photo and this time I want to show a bug (I guess it's one) when I rasterize a groups. Perhaps it's not a bug but me doing a mistake (might be). What is your operating system and version : Windows 8.1 with latest patches Affinity Photo Version: 1.7.3.481 What happened for you : The colors of the rasterized group are changing. The group is set to transfer mode (not normal) Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did): I click on rasterize on a group that is set to transfer mode After rasterize the colors of the new layer are different Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video: One with the group one with the rasterized group

@Gabe Well, I'll try to deliver one. I guess I need a screen recording tool Yes, I am using a tablet.
