I have a 280 A4 document with a lot of colours and images.
It fails to export with flattened, but I can do a print export.
The PDF file size becomes almost 500mb when i do a print export so it's quite big. -
Got the same problem just now

But I have to say that Affinity has changed my life since my days are much better than the old days with Adobe.
So I might not like the Emojis part but its the first thing I have been directly against.
All in all, Affinity is the way and I will always recommend them to people who wants to design. -

Well, you'll probably get proved wrong in another 3-4,000 years...
Yeah now that Affinity added those to Publisher you never know.
I guess we will write like this then:
"I Emojis think stupid books."
It will be a interesting future ahead of us. -

You are aware that they've used something like "emoticons" in ancient Egypt (hieroglyphs), which partially also represented logographic elements? So, no. Emotions are not some new invention, it's rather a "back to the roots". 😉
That is called pictographs and the oldest types of them are the Egyptian, Hebrew & Phoenic Alphabets.
They evolved into letters with time.
Emojis can never do that
-
Oh no, we don't need Emoji's in Books.
You are risking the IQ of the world shrinking because of this with your software here now.
I can imagine books having Emojis as a standard and it will remind me of a facebook conversation in around 10 years time .
The future just became more dangerous.
I can give you a tip of rather giving us shortcut keys to different transformation commands of objects.
It would make productivity a small boost when it comes to objects.
Since you already boosted the performance to the moon by the direct x12 tech and other performance tech you have made. -
So there two pages should have the same colouring on the text. But the left page is really messed up as you see its colours are faded.
I have seen this problem in previous patches also but I forgot to report them.
It is rare though.

Most of us have overpowered computers for Affinity usage.
I thought you needed a strong computer but boy was I wrong,
Bought a laptop for 200$ used that has a Ryzen 5 2400 processor with a minimal graphics card (not even Geforce). and did not expect much of it.
Booted up affinity Publisher and boom everything went smooth. Wow wonder if it can handle Designer I thought and proceeded to open a document with around 8000 objects.
Then I tried to move 6328 objects at once and It could be done but lagged quite much compared to my desktop that went smoother. But it could be done!
So I learned that investing much money on a laptop for Affinity programs is a waste of money! I learned this the hard way so I will sell my gaming laptop and use this cheap one instead.
Beware people, don't waste money when you can go cheap and do everything needed with the Affinity programs.
If you are moving over 1000 objects at once in Designer everyday then you might consider getting a good laptop.

Any plans for when this is to be released yet?
I can understand that it might seem like a small thing since only 12 languages use the left to right direction.
But one of those languages is Arabic with around 422 million users of that language.
The other is Hebrew and it has around 14 million potential users if you count the Jews in America & Israel.
So I mean getting this feature might give 500 000 affinity sales here for all I know. Seems really worth getting that feature if you ask me

Yes I deleted both auto-correct setting so it should not happen. These were the auto-corrections of -- & ---.
What I did not try was to untick the "Replace text while typing" checkbox. That fixed the issue.
Going to miss that auto-correct function though.
But anyway thank you very much for coming with a alternative solution!

So when i had the 1.85703 version of Affinity Publisher i could enter the hyphen key three times in a row and it would give me three different lines with spaces like this: - - -
Now in your 1.9.1.979 version when I try to enter them it just becomes one long line.
I have turned off the function in Auto-Correct settings but it still persists.

Please can you make a bugs post about your findings in the 1.8.5 release version, to make sure this issue does not go missing in the beta testing of 1.9.0
Will do

One strange thing though is that there came 12 new text styles called "Text body" (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) when i opened the document.
That was wrong. Those Text body styles crept into my 1.8.5.703 document when I copied work from Affinity Designer straight into the Affinity Publisher document.
So the beta had nothing to do with it. -
My last version i used was the 1.8.5.703
And this one is faster for sure. Like this program was not fast enough already.
it's crazy fast now. I have a document on 155 A4 pages and it opened in 2-3 seconds.
Anyway i tried out some general things like effects, Table, placement of images and export.
Everything of that worked as it should. I had problems with export in the 1.8.5.703 version with large documents but that is fixed here.
And even the export speed is greatly increased here.
One strange thing though is that there came 12 new text styles called "Text body" (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) when i opened the document.
I deleted those to see if it affected any text in my document but it did not.
And i could not get "outer shadow" to work but i have never used it before so i'm not sure if that is supposed to work on text.
I would say great job guys and this is worth releasing only because of the export fix.

Ahhh that was what it was. I am sorry for the false alarm then.

It was not the zooming that triggered the bug, but when i use the find function. When i then click on a result the table rows can get desynced.
Sorry about the back and forth here but i am just trying to help. -
I think i know what it is now.
I just noticed that the table row orders can get desynced and that is what causes the bug. I would guess it has something to do with the loading of the screen everytime you zoom in and out.
I don't think this is a problem in other tables as mine is 50 A4 pages big which is far from normal.
-
That bug happened several times 3 days ago.
I recorded for almost 10 min and i got the bug to happen twice in this video. It happends towards the end and i write "Correct" and "Not Correct!" so you can fast forward to it.
This bug can come out of nowhere even if i have had the document open for a long time. But i noticed it corrected itself this time, something i have not noticed before.
I do think it may have something with my fast actions in the document because i can go fast between the projects and do stuff but I have no clue. -
When i try to copy and paste a Hebrew, Greek or English word from one project to another in Affinity Publisher it pastes another word. This does not happen 100% of time when i enter the document but pretty often now like 80% of the time. And if the bug is active then it stays active until i close the program.
This document is around 50 A4 pages long and it was created in the 1.7.3 version.
it was not like this until i updated to the current newest version 1.8.5.703.
I think you guys should check it out. Just download the attachment. -
You can get pretty good laptops used to work with affinity. As long as it has a minimal video card & a good CPU then you are good to go.
I bought the minimum gaming laptop version from Lenovo cheap since it was used for a model.
I think you could find a good laptop for around 600 euro with a i5 processor found one for 600 euro here I would do some research.
And Macbooks are expensive, want to pay more than necessary for a laptop ? Buy a Macbook.
Affinity utilizes the power of your machine so much that everything else works more or less like a joke. Even Microsoft office is no match in responsiveness.
If you search for a word in a MS Word document it will take some seconds before it finds it if the document is 300 pages. There is even a small delay with 50 pages gives enough info.
But in Affinity when i tested with 50 pages it was lightning speed & nothing indicates that there will be a delay with 300 pages or 400, not when it is that fast.
It is very fascinating how they pull this off almost like magic. They seem to utilize everything better than the rest.
There is one exception i can think of and that is giant tables that stretch for 20+ A4 pages but they will fix that, i reported it.
I came from the Adobe side and i have dropped them completely now even though i own illustrator. Never again will i make work on that classical time consuming software.
How they managed to make Bill Gates look stupid with their "office" software is beyond me but awesome it is.

Thank you once again for clearing that one out Walt.farell. It's really good that Affinity has the option to make a shortcut for it. Pressing enter was the standard in Word so i jumped to the conclution that Affinity had left it it out. I was wrong there
-
There are 2 features that i request making the feature better.
1. When i search for a word it gives me the list results but not the number of how many results. This can be of use when people do textual critisism.
2. When i search for a word i have to click on the result. Please make it easier by just pushing Enter to get to next result. This is very important for people who uses a document for a database like me.
These are quite small features but quite important i would say; and nr 2 help you build upon the edge of performance you got over Adobe and Microsoft Office.
Like for example when i search for a word in Microsoft Word, it is a delay when finding the result. But Affinity Publisher is incredibly fast so searching for a word there is lightning fast which makes me want to move my database from Word into Publisher. But using the search function and mouse combined stops me.
Export (flattened) problem with big document

Hello guys the 280 stood for pages.
There were 2 images that the document does not want to export, I get a error I if try to export with these images in the document with picture frame.
Here are the two images: Pagan sun seal – Exposing Darkness – 777 codes Forum
(maybe there is some copyright stuff encoded into the images, i'm not that good in programming to know if it's possible)
And there were two pages that I had to delete and insert into the document again. It was nothing on the pages that blocked the export since I checked that.
And before I did this I just got a error message when exporting so I started to investigate by exporting the document in parts and thus tracking what was wrong.
Now I can export it without any problem and the document has been worked on since the 1.8 version and all pages was copied from a document made in the 1.7 version.
And you won't believe how much I have tested the limits of that document, I copied around 50 projects made in Designer into the Publisher document x2 times over time with its many text styles & objects making over 100 text styles in my document with some of them named yellow 1,2,3,4,5 & it that crashed if you start scrolling in the text styles (fixed with 1.01 version). It was bound to get some bugs.
You guys got a really good product.
