Absolutely seeing some lag in Affinity products after moving my TEMP and TMP locations off the C drive. I'll be working in it more today; it may be that I simply need to move the directories to a faster drive..?

Excellent suggestion, @v_kyr. It's even easier than assigning symbolic links... in Windows 10, I can change the TEMP and TMP locations in System Settings. Done... time to restart and see how it goes!

My primary drive is for my operating system... I have other (much larger) drives for my programs, files, etc... and one for cache / scratch space. Working on a large document in both Designer and Photo, it's sucking up three gigabytes on my primary drive because I can't assign that temp space to a drive where I have terabytes of space. Like I can in Photoshop and Illustrator! I really love the Affinity suite, but I'm probably going to have to move back to Adobe products for certain things, in part because of the lack of an assignable temp / scratch drive. Please add this option! Folks have been asking for a while now, apparently...

That's a good workaround, @Chris111... but when it comes time to export my work to PDF to upload to Amazon, I'm gonna need to figure out a way to do the whole darn thing. It's a little nutty that a program called "Publisher" can't handle book-length layouts... hope there's an official fix in the works.

Same issue. 300 page book with one master page. Barely started setting it up, but I cannot save it to proceed. I could make a paperback interior layout faster in OpenOffice at this point, but I paid for this software..! Windows 10, 8GB of RAM, plenty of cache. Latest version of Publisher. Please advise.
