I made a big project on Publisher 1 and I remember getting half way through and realising that I shouldn't have used the finder to store all my images and captions etc but rather Publisher itself. I'm gathering all the source material I need for another project and it occurs to me I should begin now. For instance I have a bunch of pictures of Hull University in 1960 that I need to run past my uncle (his auto-biog) to see whether they're relevant. If they are I need to find the best versions, upscale etc. In the meantime I need a way of cataloguing them along with the URL I found them, the name; perhaps a caption if I he adds one and what version they are; presumably I can swap in better ones as I go. Does Publisher 2 do this? I've taken a look at the asset manager but the examples in the Affinity literature are icons so I'm not convinced it's meant for this sort of thing. I'd really like a Publisher way of doing it because I want an easy way to know whether I've put all the images into the book or added duplicates etc and I'd rather not copy and paste captions. Perhaps I'm coming at this problem the wrong way; can anyone shed any light? Thanks,

nope the first post about this was in 2015

Eight years. Eight years later.

Would love this. Just discovered it can't do this which is maddening.

Came here to ask this.

Yes, thanks so much. Glad to know it's reproducible and glad to know I helped identify a bug!

Demo project attached. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Demo Proj.afdesign

This is depressing,. Keep coming back and googling for the same answer years later.

The only problem with assigning them for me is that I want to use a trackpad gesture to go from one to the next; cycle through. Three fingers down moves me to new tabs in Safari and all other apps that have tabs. It's sort of muscle memory now. Either that or Apple needs to release a proper 5K consumer display.

No, I mean the studio windows tabs. So it shows layers, I'd like to be able to tab to the next one in the window set: Text Frame.

Is there a shortcut to go to the next tab in the studio window? I'm working on a 13 inch MacBook and I'm squishing things together to save space but it means it's hard to read. I'd like to be able to cycle through the tabs.

Good shout! I think I understand this now.

Thanks! Yeah I'm experimeniting with what's best. Thanks.

Oh bugger. Well I've done all of them like that now. Damn!

if that's the case then why would the text I'm pinning inline to end up covering the text I'm pinning? To clarify; I'm trying to keep my pull quotes in between certain paragraphs so as I make changes, the pull quotes move with the text and keep themselves between the paragraphs they're associated with.

Hey there, Am I doing something wrong? Pinning (floating) works fine but I'd like to use Pinning (inline) to make sure that the drop quotes go before certain paragraphs. When I tell it to inline-pin the text wrap is lost. CleanShot 2021-05-19 at 15.16.50.mp4

Thanks for this. But I can't use a keyboard shortcut to add one?

I'm using a Stream Deck and I'd love to have the ability to add an asset. The assets I've got are very hard to see on the pallet and it's often a pain finding them. Is there a way to have my StreamDeck at least allow me to add the assets as 1,2,3 or, ideally, with text of what they are.

Thanks so much. I made a copy and then applied that to the whole document and began the long process of tweaking but then I realised that that meant that my outside border wouldn't be uniform. It's the same thing if I make it 25, 22.5, 22.5, 22.5 isn't it?

Will the layout columns update automatically?

Think I may be in a muddle. I thought I'd made my guides so they were square and equally spaced. It turns out that they're not. What have I done wrong? Bit concerned as I've now almost finished an entire book!

Yeah. I worked this out. makes sense though it's a head f**k at the start. I'm guessing either publisher has already converted my files to CMYK or will do so on export and give me a good look at them. The one thing I'm worried about is I've covered up some writing on images with a rectangle of the same colour and I don't want it to print or see them as two different colours.

I only discovered the problem when I was using some brighter colours which, when I pasted a jpeg into the document, looked very muted. I'm making a book for my Dad. I thought I was almost done. I really didn't know much about the colour differences; only that the colour picker on my Mac would give me a different colour when I inputted the values into affinity publisher. Blurb provides its own icc profile which I've been using. The book document is in CMYK. What on earth do I do? Do I need to go back and convert all RGB images to CMYK? Even when I did a demo conversion to CMYK it muted the colours.
