Publisher Build 2402 Mac 14.14.1 When updating a legacy i.e. Publisher 2.something file, I notice the text wrap on pix was ignored. Click on the text wrap tool corrected wrap.

Publisher build 2402 Mac Sonoma 14.4.1 I'd opened a legacy file. I had to relink images. After a couple of them, Resource Manager pointed out I had a lot of images did I want to embed. Huh? The images were linked; I was trying to relink the resources. Tried to dismiss this, app crashed. Re-opened, I try to re-link several images as they're in the same folder. App crashes. Last attempt: I manually re-linked each image even though all were in same folder.

Thanks, Mike. I got it. The icon was greyed as I was trying edit a master page element.

For life of me I can't find the Text Wrap tool. Not in the options to drag to tools panel. I got it by creating a shortcut in Settings. Happy to be shown I'm an idiot!

Thanks. All good. I'm good with altering the linked file and have it updated in Publisher. I was working on a template where it'd be easier to tweak images as they came in to Publisher, but I can always return to the public releases.

I have both Publisher and Photo in latest betas (both 1769 builds), and both are open. Can't seem to move to Photo persona from Publisher. This is the warning. Something up, or am I doing something wrong?

I tried installing build 1732, but had same problem of crashing, no crash report triggered. Attaching the App support folder in case that's helpful. Cheers Affinity Publisher 2 Beta.zip

Publisher 2.1.0 1736 crashing on me without warning and doesn't trigger crash report. Seems to be right after I drop an image into a picture box. Ventura 13.1 Silicon MacBookPro (Sorry I think this is in the wrong thread but I can't delete.)

Sure. Will do. Should have thought of that.

Just to report I 1713 was not launching. I think APhoto crashed on trying to open a large .PNG file, then something screwed up. So far so good after dumping the Application Support folder (Monterey).

That's the Golden Spiral tracking Fibonacci ratios – which has its uses but (I find) seldom to guide cropping, more for post-capture analysis. Phi grid is a grid that looks like Thirds only more subtle. In practice, I find many people think they've set things up to Thirds but their instinct has actually got them to place on Phi ratios. E.g. Thirds pic below was presented as composed according to Rule of Thirds (sorry picture owner; took this off a Facebook post; can't remember whose): but actually main elements are closer to Phi grid - 2nd pic with more lines. The beauty of Phi grid is that it can run from the any of the sides or be centred horizontally or vertically – each giving nuances that Thirds can't.

Thirds grid is very yesterday. The way to go is Golden Ratio or Phi. There are many ways of cutting an image into Phi ratios, but the basic, centred is useful for many jobs, and replaces the thirds which is too static and not balanced anyway (IMHO).

Thanks, Devs, for change to Crop tool: drag anywhere to change is improvement. Also not remembering last setting on Unconstrained certainly suits my work. But: could we have remembering previous setting on Resample crop: pretty often would be handy e.g. when resizing a folder of pix for banners, or for social media posts.

I'm with Johannes: pleasee provide an easy way to show file path in the file name e.g. by right/ctrl click file name bar. I know we can make a shortcut for File > Reveal in Finder, but that's long-winded not always necessary. All we want is a quick reminder of where the hell the file is.

Hi Ash Remembering last settings is a much appreciated addition. Please could we have regular tab behaviour? Ideally when Crop tool is called up, the first value entry box is ready to receive input, then Tab to move to next box to receive input. At present, behaviour is not regular. Also: if you're going to offer grids for crop, you really ought to offer Golden Section/Golden Mean. Rule of Thirds is going out of fashion (and is only a innumerate approximation for Golden Section.
