Thank you very much! I did not know that. The abbreviation "afb" probably stands for affinity bug ... I will definitely wait with an upgrade to version 2 until this error is fixed. Thanks again!

The undo-bug is not my problem. My problem is the bug when I link textboxes after changes in the document. I have already reported this error in AP1. Now I am working with the trial version of AP2 and the error is still there. To make a decision if I upgrade to AP2 I want to know if this error will be fixed. A subsequent change with insertion of chapters in an existing Publisher document destroys all subsequent pinned images and text boxes by distortion and displacement when re-linking text boxes.

If I subsequently correct interrupted text flow by linking text frames from one page to the next, all subsequent "free-moving" pinned photos and text boxes of the following pages are distorted and placed at the outer edge of the pages. Even the Undo-command "Link text frame" cannot restore the previous state. This behaviour already existed in version 1 of Affinity Publisher. Unfortunately, I could not see any improvements in version 2. With several hundreds of following pages, double-clicking to adjust and de-skew the images can be very time-consuming. Are there any improvements planned for version 2. At the moment I see no need to upgrade to Verson 2 ?

The file was always saved on the local Macintosh HD It is no longer necessary to restore the file, as I was able to restore a file only 1 hour older from the last Time Machine BackUp! The loss is therefore limited and you don't have to forward the corrupted file to your developers In the meantime, I tried to recreate the problem with the backup file and sure enough, AP crashed again, producing a crash report which I attach here. I hope you can do something with it and can work out the cause of the problem and stop it happening in future. Many thanks for your efforts! AP crash report.rtf

Thank you for your quick reply !!! I have not renamed any autosave file! My work process was as follows: I copied finished elaborately designed pages from another afpub file and pasted them into the afpub file "CCC6 Documentation". Then I created many new master pages. AP then crashed during this work process. The file "CCC6 Documentation" could no longer be opened. Error message: The file could not be opened. The file is already open in another programme => Restarting the Mac did not help either. Is it possible that the error message "The file is a linked file ..." is due to the fact that I inserted elements from another file? I have been working with AP for a while now and I appreciate the software. But something like this has not happened to me yet. Is it possible to repair the attached afpub file "CCC6 Documentation", as several hours of work have been invested?

AP crashed and no longer wants to open the afpub-file. According to the error message, this file should already be open in another programme. Restarting the iMac did not change anything either. Please help (AP 1.10.5 - iMac2020,i7, MacOS Monterey 12.3) CCC6 Dokumentation.afpub

Many thanks for your feedback! I have understood your review! However, I have a problem with it because I was translating a document from English into German and would not be allowed to use the same image sizes in Affinity Publisher as in the original document, just so as not to compromise the flow of the text. I have not only created a double masterpage instead of the two single master pages but have now also linked the text frames of the masterpage. In addition, I have reduced the size of the images by 50% for testing purposes. There is no longer a page break in the attached documents, as I have added an additional double page at the end. But the result remains the same as before. The much smaller images are distorted and the text boxes are pushed to the edge of the page when the missing text flow is inserted from page 3 to 4. Finally, I would like to add that I have now finished the 250-page Publisher document and output it as a PDF. It looks like the original document! However, I am afraid of making changes and additions to the Publisher document at a later stage, which will change the flow of the text. TextFlowDemo2-Before.afpub TextFlowDemo2-After.afpub

In the previously uploaded Afpub-documents, I unfortunately forgot to use embedded images instead of linked images, so you probably couldn't see my text flow problem with pinned images and textboxes. I would only need a brief indication of whether this is a user problem or a software problem. TextFlowDemo-Before.afpub TextFlowDemo-After.afpub

Very interesting is the tripling of the file size of TextFlowDemo-After … ?

To further define my text flow problem, I have attached 2 Publisher documents to show the effects of subsequently inserting a missing text flow. One document shows the state before inserting the missing text flow. Another document shows the effects after inserting the missing text flow with the distorted and shifted images and text boxes.

Hello Old Bruce! Thanks for your feedback. I have now implemented your comments in the attached document as a test. Instead of two single pages, I have now created only one master double page. I have inserted picture frames on pages 10+11. I have no other solution for the pinned texts and pictures, as they have to move with the text flow! Unfortunately, the changes have not brought any improvements. As soon as you insert the interrupted text flow, all the following images and text boxes are distorted and pushed to the edge of the page. TextFlow.afpub

Thank you very much for the feedback! Yes, all images are in frames. All images (size doesn't matter) but also text boxes in their own text frames are shifted and distorted after inserting the missing text flow. Attached please find an excerpt with about 10 pages from the 250 page document. If you insert the missing text flow between pages 7-8 or between pages 11-12, the following pictures and text boxes will be distorted and shifted, which requires a lot of rework in a 250-page document.

If I subsequently correct interrupted text flow by inserting the missing text flow from one page to the next, all subsequent "free-moving" pinned photos and text boxes are distorted and placed at the outer edge of the page. With several hundred pages, double-clicking to adjust and de-skew the images can be time-consuming. I have already tried all the settings of the pinned elements: Horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, offset, inside, outside, top, bottom, middle, keep inside border .... Unfortunately, I have not found any setting that did not lead to distortion of the following elements. Attached is a screenshot before (left side) and after inserting the text flow break (right side). Thanks in advance for any helpful advice. MacOS 12.1, Affinity Publisher 1.10.4

When exporting to pdf, I receive a warning that one or more text frames have overflowing text. I checked as follows: • View > Show Text Flow enabled. • Zooming out so all pages are visible, which emphasizes the red dots that show overflow? • Checking the Master Page(s) • Checking for Text Frames that are not located on the document or Master Page, but are on the pasteboard Everything seems to be ok, but still this message is appearing during export. Now I removed from the publication, which had 50 pages, page by page until only one page remained and found still warning popping up. Next I removed the second line in the last line of the tabel which is integrated in master page and behold, the warning was now gone. Result If a table is integrated in the master page, the last line of the table may only contain one line, otherwise a text overflow is produced. Warning Text Overflow.afpub
