    I see it now. Thanks!

    Thanks! I can’t seem to see your screenshot, but I’ll go look through it. Thanks!

    That is absolutely right. I'm sorry if I didn't say that too clearly in the original post.

    EDIT: It's officially been solved! Thanks to everyone who downloaded the project to try and help and special thanks to Stokerg for finding the data merge layout I had left in the wrong spot. I'll leave the fixed version of the project here for anyone who might find it useful. I will also probably put it in "Share Your Work" with a guide. Thanks again! Hello friends from the Internet. I have been working on a calendar-generating tool in Affinity Publisher that has the following pages: A front cover page to be adjusted in post A page set up for data merge with a picture and text for the month, a grid of days with holidays setup to merge A back cover page with a data merge layout that shows each month's picture on the back Right now, if I go into the data merge manager and step through each record on the included excel sheet, everything appears to look normal, but when I click the merge button, I get the font cover page, a single month page for January, and a back cover page with the image for every month on it. I can't seem to get the data merge to give me calendar pages for each month. I've already checked the excel sheet for blank cells and can't find ones that should matter. I would love it if someone could help me figure this out. Thanks friends! Calendar Project FIXED.zip

    This template was made as labor of love and will be updated as I can and notice new products. That said, as Redbubble is now introducing artist tiers, and I am on the Redbubble Standard tier, I will not have access to every product right away. I welcome and encourage Redbubble Premium and Redbubble Pro designers to expand and publish their own versions of this template online. I do ask for credit where my template is the basis but I recognize that's not policeable. This tool was always meant to be a boon to vector artists so they could make the art they love and not have to spend time copying their designs. I hope it continues to serve that purpose.

    Thanks! The adjustments worked on pricing which is great. Relative paths work, but they only work right now if my images are in a data merge layout. That causes some problems stylistically but it does demonstrate that the problem is elsewhere.

    Presented to the Affinity Community: This bug is also in Publisher V1. I have attached a folder containing a CSV, example art images, and an afPub file designed to let me make easy changes to my art commission pricing and example work. The images, art offerings, and prices are all Data Merge fields. My problem is that when I am in the Data Merge Manager, I can step through each index and everything appears as expected, but when I try to output a document, the pricing and pictures disappear. Hopefully someone has the answer because it is quite confusing. Thanks! Commission Design Folder.zip

    Hello Affinity friends. A few months ago, I posted a template for Redbubble artists that helped them resize their art for the platform's different products. This isn't an ad but you can find it here. The template makes heavy use of symbols (as of this post, there are 47 instances) but it worked perfectly well on Designer V1. In V2, I have noticed a glitch where symbols do not mirror properly (Elements in the wrong spot, orientation, etc.) Occasionally they do not mirror at all. The second problem I have found can be fixed by removing elements from a symbol and putting them back in, but the orientation/positioning bug is one I cannot seem to fix. I hope none of you are having the same issue but if you are, I hope you might have some advice. Thanks, Kyle

    Here is an updated version of the tool. This one fixes the issue of personal items not being configured. Frame text still doesn't work but the issue can still be avoided by using art text. Redbubble Design Machine.aftemplate

    Right now your line spacing, and some formatting will not appear the same in different-sized art boards

    Friends, Colleagues, Esteemed Strangers, You may be aware of the exciting world of print-on-demand(POD) art services. If you are, then you know that while they are a great means of making a passive income, properly sizing artwork for each product offered by a platform can be tedious and time-consuming. It is for this reason that I offer the following template. This Affinity template makes use of artboards and symbols to automatically scale your designs to every product offered by the Redbubble website to safe you time and annoyance. Simply edit the models at the top of the canvas and the template will do the rest! You can also use the export persona to export every product design at once. (Note, the default filepath is "./placeholder_productRenders/PRODUCTNAMEHERE.png" because there is not a way to make a "filename" variable yet in Affinity Designer.

    Thank you for monitoring the situation and moving us towards a more widely-available solution

    While tracking errors is probably the conventionally "better" answer, to be honest I think time-lapses are cool, and Serif is working on an "Export Timelapse" feature that I think would be cool if I do anything with these cards later. Also, thanks for the tip!

    That's interesting. If all of the layers can be deleted and the issue persists, maybe there's a defined limit for the size of a document's history? I want to preserve that if I can, but now I'm curious.

    UPDATE 03\05/2022: I changed the undo limit as suggested by Bruce below. It looks like that gave me at least one more safe without closing. Thanks to Bruce and "Not My Fault" for helping resolve this. I will post additional updates if anything changes. Context: I have been working with the Affinity Suite for several years at this point and have not run into this issue consistently. Additionally, it will help to know that the project where this issue occurs features a lot of repetitive objects and that when I work on the next version of the object, I store the others outside of the frame. Issue Description: Now, on the project attached below when I move an object out of frame and attempt to save my project, Affinity Designer closes. It does this without freezing or becoming unresponsive. When it closes, there is no message to send a crash report to Serif or Microsoft. It simply closes. As you will be able to see, the designs in this project are not particularly complex. My computer fan is never audible while I work, and yet this continues to occur. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Attached Project 2. Drag element out of the work frame 3. Save project via Control + S command Computer Specs: Device name Uno-Machine Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.60 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB Device ID A9057042-055B-469F-8C7B-F1FBAB079136 Product ID 00326-00872-61387-AAOEM System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Graphics: Nvidea Geforce GTX 1660 Operating System Specs: Edition Windows 11 Home Version 21H2 Installed on ‎8/‎19/‎2021 OS build 22000.527 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.527.0 DnD card factory.afdesign

    Sure. I happen to have an Nvidea 1660 and the problem is new, but we'll se

    So as a designer, a lot of my work has repeated textures or recurring patterns in the background, but out of necessity those end up being the same row of items copy/pasted over and over again. That leads to color repetition and it can be tedious to go in and change every single item to make the pattern less monotonous. Could there be a pattern tool that would take a group of objects or symbols and create a pattern of colors followed throughout the selection or randomizes colors (within provided parameters)? It would definitely help me break up the monotony.

    Thanks for the tip. Seems odd that it would be hardware issues though since I've got twice your RAM... Nonetheless, I'll give it a shot/

    Hey guys, So I've been using Affinity Designer through several iterations and usually I have no problems to speak of. Recently though, I've had the software start crashing. Usually it happens as I'm trying to save an asset from a selection. Funnily enough, the asset ends up saved anyway, but Designer crashes in the process. I'm currently running the public release build 1.9.2.1035. It's usually just a problem when saving assets but I also just had a crash occur when I was fiddling with a text box. My computer fan went nuts and then Designer died. That's all I've got

    First of all, welcome to the Affinity family. We hope you like it here so far. As to your comment: Overflowing text would be fine by me if it weren't for the limited space. In my case, I'm listing out qualifications for talent I'm trying to promote. I'm not familiar with the exact CSS code necessary, but I agree it would be useful. Manual Restyling would also work, but as our data sources get larger and larger, it could become unfeasible. I think a "fit data to textbox" option for textboxes in Affinity would be useful for data merges. Without a dev kit and/or an API though, we'll just have to hope Serif sees this.

    You all have offered a lot of useful insight, thank you. I will probably have to end up doing a combination of shrinking the whole field and applying some text wrap. Can't overstate your helpfulness here, friends. Thank you.

    Hi Affinity Community. I am currently working on a portfolio that includes profiles of different people (Names, Stats, Etc). I have been using the data merge feature in Affinity Publisher to populate data in my profile template. The problem I have been having is that some names are too large for my text frame and are hidden. Is there a way to have text from a data merge automatically resize itself to fit a text frame?
