Strange… I did a search before posting but didn't find anything relevant. I'll look again.

No, I have not. I will have a look at it now, though. Thanks!

I need to make a table where one column shows pictures i.e. a certain spare part with the information in the following columns. Somehow I seem to be unable to properly insert a picture. So far the only way seems to be to put the picture on the page outside the table, then cut it out (cmd-x), double click in the cell and insert it (cmd-v). If done, the picture will not align proberly because I don't have access position etc. in the table dialoge. And this can work with a picture or two but not with 50 pictures or 200. So – any other solutions? Thanks a lot! Herbert

True… but why would you program it that way? It is not helpful at all. Well at least it is obviously not a bug but a programmed… feature? Whatever they were thinking. Thanks for clearing it up!

Thanks but I think you replied to my other post (the second point)… but thanks anyway!

I noticed a strange error in the use of small caps. if you select a word, use small caps (Kapitälchen) and copy – paste the word, there is an additional space added when inserting.This is strange and I almost overlooked it. I made a short video. The second part concerns superscript numbers and have already been answered in a different forum. Thanks a lot! Herbert Publisher errors.mov

Dear Walt, thanks, that explains at least one problem.

I noticed two errors in text handling. The first: if you select a word, use small caps (Kapitälchen) and copy – paste the word, there is an additional space added when inserting. This is strange and I almost overlooked it. The second: Due to the still missing footnotes I have to do them by hand. I have to superscript (is that the correct expression?) the numbers by hand. If there is a dash between the numbers (1-2 or 1–2) the dash is not being superscripted (sounds wrong). Have a look at the short video I made. Would be nice to fix these errors. Thanks! (And please, hurry up with the footnotes/endnotes!) Herbert Publisher errors.mov

I agree that the user interface is not really well done. It is also not consistent. Using the tab-key to jump from one input frame to the next works sometimes but not always. Especially bad when using colour. If you input the colour via CMYK you really can't use the tab as it jumps to all kinds of places but not to the obvious ones. Then there are text elements. You have one tab for Zeichen (Character?) and one for typography with the ligatures etc. This would clearly be sought for in character not in a seperate window. The labeling in other languages – i.e. German – is sometimes downright confusing (or you could say: wrong?). Lists are in paragraphs not text etc. I understand the herculean task of making such a program from scratch but with the user interface you wouldn't have to start from scratch as Fnuxus pointed out. There were several well designed UI already around. While I appreciate the difficulty of translation into different languages it is sometimes hard to find things that are labelled in an unusual way. Is this the biggest problem of Publisher? NO – that would be the missing footnotes. Is it an annoying one while working? Yes, repeatedly. But, I expect it to get better over the years.

I use a Business Dropbox, and it is handled correctly. I haven't updated yet to the newest version. I'll do this first after the project and see what happens. Thanks a lot!

To tell the OS which software to use to open a file, click once on the file (choosing the file), then Command+I (Information) and there you can tell which software to use once or always to open this file (or files of a similar nature).

Upload is finished.

I can open a file, do one thing (like make a correction), save… and crash. Open a file, click a frame, move the picture… and crash. Open a file, move between the pages… and crash. Both Publisher 1.9.1. and 1.9.1.979 Beta. If necessary I can provide the file and the crash report. This is been going on since the update to 1.9. I have posted it here before but didn't get so much as a nod. I really started to be a fan of Affinity (in spite of the footmark-fiasco) but this is… I simply can't work.

I have the same problem. Sometimes the whole system seems to be affected. Sometimes I get an error message (see below). It is not only annoying but I can't work any more as well. The only program running is Publisher and I've got around 1 TB of free disk space. Only one document is open with 236 pages.

The 1.9.0 is quite full of problems. As posted in the wrong forum (sorry for this): Publisher suddenly is extremely slow and unresponsive. Work is not possible. Crashes are regular, beachball inevitable. Nothing changed on the computer just the upgrade was done. I did the usual problem shooting to eliminate any problems on the side of the operating system but everything is fine there. It is definitely the upgrade. Text display in the tools is not clean, alignment in paragraphs seem to be problematic etc. Some thing simply seem not to work anymore (spacing in paragraphs – justification etc.). I would say this was rushed out before proper testing. Good to know – in the future I will skip big upgrades and wait for the fixes. All the wonderful new features are not helping if the software itself is just full of problems that didn't exist before. At the moment I can't really work with it. I'm not a satisfied customer at the moment. I am rather angry at this. I have never experienced such problems after an upgrade at all. (and still no footnotes)

It just crashed again. I can't work like this. I have to go back to 1.8 and hope that the file opens without any problem. This is really annoying. I'm quite angry at the moment.

Since the upgrade to 1.9.0 Publisher is very slow, beachball occurs regularly and a decent workflow is simply not possible. Before the update it ran fine and with no performance problems. Nothing changed but the update. Is this issue already known? Will there be a fix soon? I do hope so, otherwise I would have to go back to 1.8. to finish the open projects. Thanks for the inclusion of the new features though… H.

Well I equally sincerely hope it will be ready soon because I am running into more and more problems without them. The next book project will be impossible without footnotes/endnotes. Please hurry up and make an update as soon as they are ready!

In that case everything is ok. My printing house said my PDFs are all in CMYK. Either they made a mistake or I did. Anyway – thanks a lot! The PDF X4 is still unresolved but you said you already logged it. So thanks for that as well. Sorry for the bother.

Upload complete. Thank you!

If you send me a new link, I'll upload the PDF created with it… if it helps.

and here is mine…

Yes, I did. I have no idea what goes wrong. Can you please send me a screenshot of the settings?

Sadly I couldn't even exporting as PDF 1.7 didn't lead to a correct result consistently. In the end we fixed it in the RIP at the printers. Made me look like an incompetent fool. As I want to use Publisher for many upcoming book projects it would be great if you could tell me how to fix it. Thanks a lot!

I've uploaded it. Sorry for the late reply… I forgot to set notification on replies. My bad. I do hope you can tell me why I was unable to produce a k-only pdf. Thank you very much!
