[Publisher crashes when open a file and unconfortable connecting links]

When you Open the file, you are given several options to handle the missing linked content: Yes, No, and Resource Manager.

The natural choice to make is Resource Manager, as that would appear to give you more options. But if you click Yes instead, you will find it will behave as you want.

(Note: The Resource Manager is improved in 1.10 so it can also relink all items, but prior to 1.10 use Yes instead.)

Thank you very much with links help. It works perfectly.
I have the latest version of Publisher (1.9.2.1035), but I didn´t find relink all items there.

[Publisher crashes when open a file and unconfortable connecting links]

Hi at Affinity.

My friend and I are working on a catalog that I created on my PC. I sent the file to him so that he could prepare an English language version of the catalog and send the file back to me.

This problem has occurred:

1. When you upload the English version to the folder where all the links are (folder with all links), the file is not opened (only opening) and in a moment the entire Publisher crashes without any notification or error message.

2. When I upload this critical file to another folder (without links folder), the file will open, but of course the links are missing. But I'll open it. The only solution is to reconnect the links.

 

Links:

1. Missing links in a document are connected very laborious, complicated, and take a really long time with an extensive catalog. Why doesn't it work the same as in InDesign, where you just connect one link and the others connect automatically? This would make it much more comfortable and faster. I know you're not InDesign, but that would be very useful.

 

Have a nice day.

[FONTS missing, not working etc.]

The reason I'm asking is that if one of our apps had a problem with a font, all should be affected. They all use the same font loading engine. Are those fonts you need Active before you open the apps?

Hello Gabe,
I think I came up with a problem. I uninstalled all non-system fonts and completly FontExpert.
Subsequently, I reinstalled FontExpert and gradually added fonts to new folders and tested them to appear in the Publisher.
And everything works perfectly. I installed the remaining fonts and everything works fine.
So the problem was not in Publisher, but apparently in poorly installed fonts. It is necessary to pay attention to duplications - system versus FontExpert.

@Miress,

Welcome to the forums. 

How many fonts have you got installed? Do you use a font manager that loads them on demand? 

Hello, and thank you.
I currently have 1200 fonts (various font families) installed, which I use and I use FontExpert 2019 for font management.
I don't think that should affect the functionality of Publisher.

Hello to Affinity team,

I'd like to greet you and thank you for the work you do at Affinity.
I bought the whole package of your programs. I would like to switch from Adobe, but ...

I have a big problem with fonts.
Publisher does not see all the fonts that are installed on the system. He don't see entire font families. Other programs (InDesign, Photoshop ...) see all fonts. The strange thing is that Designer sees more font than Publisher, but still doesn't see them all. How is it possible?

Each time you turn on the program, Publisher sees different fonts. What is it omg? Why?

When opening a * .idml file, it does not report the missing font and automatically replaces it with some available font. This is unacceptable. If a document is used in the document that it does not see, it cannot simply replace it automatically. It should ask what to do with the font not found.
This is a pretty big shortcoming in the functionality of the program. Or do you have a solution?
I'll be happy if you help me, otherwise I bought the software completely unnecessarily.
Thank you very much.
