Can't reduce the width of the studio on the right side (I left there layers and some panels I use on the regular basis)

This is actually fairly interesting approach! Thanks. Tried it and gonna give it a shot for a while. On the other hand, it is pity I did not retrieved any of the horizontal space...

Right now, I am hoping for the 2.0 update in the future. Probably many of the requested features (not just for the Designer, but also Photo and APub) will be implemented in the 2. generation. It needs to be a big release because we will need to buy a new licence. Also, should not forget the fact, that Affinity is still the first generation software and as it is hard to say, it is not mature yet. Anyway, wish them good luck, even though there are missing features, performance of the apps is stellar and promising :)

Hello, I made a video step by step guide (for the Slovak dictionary). Maybe it will be useful

Hello Dominik Thank you for your suggestions! Especially 3rd helped a lot. @2: by "minimize studio" I actually mean an option to collapse studio panels to a more space-efficient layout. I know the TAB workaround, but I need to constantly press TAB in the current workflow (TAB completely hides studio). That is what I consider annoying. Other apps (including InDesign) have an option for a more efficient panels view.

Hi guys, so I have been using the Affinity studio bundle for a year now, almost completely migrated from the Adobe products. Anyway, there are a few things that I miss. 1) For instance, is there a way to move document pages/spreads via some kind of a command/tool (move pages 10–15 before/after page 128)? It is quite annoying to drag them in the panel, especially in the extensive document. 2) Being not able to minimize the studio is also a pain. 3) Is there a way to scale an object, text frame etc. by % value? Did not find any tool for this, and I consider it as a basic feature. Sorry for the grammar (I am not a native speaker.)

+1, There is much longer loading time of the opening Publisher files after the latest update. Mostly happens when resource manager can not find resources but often even while opening pretty light (only typography/text) files.

Same problem here.

Yes, that is a good workaround and woks well (screen). Anyway, the fact that I must open the Publisher, create paragraph style and import it to the Designer – just for a simple hyphenation really sucks...

OK, so I did some digging and found this article regarding the hyphenation Designers issue... The moderators statement: As I understand it, the hyphenation option should not be available in the first place, it does not work at all. I love all of the Serif apps and daily drive them for months now, but these are the little details that make me mad from time to time. Trying to achieve some results for a few hours (also installed dictionaries, spelling), just to find out that it is not possible. It is just frustrating.

Hey, I just do not understand why is hyphenation option available in the character settings, but it does not work. Any reasonable explanation, ideas?

Hello. Yes, I am aware of that, but that is also not the topic of this thread. Or maybe I did not understand you well. What I am talking about is the underline option of the word / selection and the possibility of tweaking its parameters (stroke, offset etc.). Anyway, thanks for the response

any update on this one from the Affinity team?

Yeah, that is a great example of how it should work, thanks for that. Anyway, it would be great to have an similar option on a word selection level. Since this is in a paragraph styling option, I can't select only one word in a paragraph and use this kind of an underline. Still, I don't understand, why it is possible in the paragraph styling, yet not possible to do in the character styling options.

Dear Affinity team, I really like the software, the Publisher really has the opportunity to replace the Adobe package in typesetting and graphic design. I've already started making youtube tutorials for friends in Slovakia to make their transition to AP as easy as possible. On the other hand, I would like to ask about the availability of some features (or if you plan to add them in the near future). The text underlining is currently limited to functionality that is not absolutely usable for typesetting (crossing out decenders/loops, different line width comparing to stroke etc.). Adjustment of the offset and line thickness are missing. Typically, the typographer will simply set them up to avoid these visual problems. Since these are essential requirements for using this tool, do you plan adding them?
