    I can confirm this. All images I've placed in my test-document stayed in place when I replace oder actualize them. Even a afpublisher-file I've tested works fine. It seems to me, the problem is fixed. 
    Kind regards

    Hello Patrick,
    I have tested beta as suggested and for the most part, it solved the problem:
    - replacing images using "Replace Image" button (on toolbar) it works as intended when image is set to any of the image property (S Max fit / S Min fit / Stretch fit / manual scale-position-rotation ) 👍🏻
    - replacing images using "Resource Manager..." window it works as intended when image is set to any of the image property (S Max fit / S Min fit / Stretch fit / manual scale-position-rotation) 👍🏻
    - replacing images dragging directly from OS (Finder MacOS) it works as intended when image property is set to (S Max fit / S Min fit / Stretch fit)  but it won't work when set to "manual scale-position-rotation" resetting the image to a 100%-100% Scale, 0degree rotation and centring the image to the image-frame.
    Definitely a huge improvement guys, even though I have to admit, I'm very much use to use drag and drop that I hope you can find the way to make that work too.
    thank you very much.

    Hi there! It seems to work!!! 😃 I tested both methods, "Replace Image" and "Resource Manager" and I didn't had any issue. Thank you very much! I will try it out with other files. I wish you all a wonderfull day! Cheers, M.

    MNU reacted to AdamW in Affinity Publisher Customer Beta - 1.9.2.1009   
    Status: Beta
    Purpose: Fixes / Improvements
    Requirements: Purchased Affinity Publisher
    Mac App Store: Not Submitted
    Download: Download
    Auto-update: Available
    ---
    We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.2.1009 is now available as a download from the link above.
    If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
    This beta is an incremental update from the 1.9.1 version recently released to all customers (although it still installs parallel to the released version, as described above). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

    We have tried to mend this a number of ways, but each did not quite solve the whole problem. Please can you try the latest beta 1.9.2.1009 which has a new solution to this problem

    Hi Gabe, for me it is not "slightly worse". It is a catastrophe! Usual I am working with low-res RGB pictures when I am lay outing the pages. At the end - when the layout is confirmed - I replace all pictures with the final retouched High-Res Versions. This works fine - until now. I am so so happy, that I did not update to 1.9. until my last photobook-projekt with 180 pages and 250 pictures was ready. 
    By now I can dump my actual project with several  pages and lots of pictures an re-do all the work in Publisher 1.8, where the problem does not occur. Unfortunately there is no way to export a 1.9 .afpub file to 1.8 or something like an IDML. 
    Good to know you’re on it and I really hope, you can fix this soon.
    Kind regards
    Michael

    Same here... I was so enthusiast wenn I saw the new release.. but, yes, as @thomaso said: it became even worst.
    I know, everybody has its own trouble and issue, but in my opinion this feature is at the really basic of such a software.
    @Gabe any news from the developers?
    I wish you all a good night and a good new week for tomorrow!

    Hi all,
    Briefly tested Publisher again after updating to 1.9.1 but unfortunately all the above stated issues seam to be exact as they were before.
    any luck, anyone?

    @Gabe, to me it became even worse with 1.9.1.: Now replacing an image in a picture frame (set to not scale/no anchor) …
    … via Context Toolbar still scales the image, but
    … via Resource Manager now even misplaces the image entirely outside its picture frame (making the frame appear empty).
    I haven't tried in AD yet but noticed only that the Resource Manager is mentioned in an Affinity "What's New in AD 1.9.1" video tutorial. It is hardly to understand that an APub feature gets transferred to AD before its bugs are fixed in APub. The Resource Manager still has various issues in APub since long, some of them with its UI only – so either AD got an improved version but APub did not – or AD got APub's buggy version, too. Both sounds rationally not sensible.

    Thank you Gabe!
    I think this is the biggest issue for architects. We work on huge presentation and during the layout and export we need the possbility to update our links without to lose everytime the scale/position/rotation settings. Also it will be nice, that if you relocate your Links-folder, you would need to update one link and the AP should understand to take the links from this new folder. (Hope you understand what I mean)
    Thank you in advance and I wish you all a wonderfull day!
    Cheers

    In my experience it's not related to specific images ... but hard to tell what it exactly depends on. I just can say I often get surprised / confused by the result of a replaced image and need to re-adjust its scale & position.
    Right now I noticed in the test below 1 main influencer: the the Context Toolbar Replace button which obviously changes scaling for no reason in a picture frame with property Scale + Anchor set to None. Also note that via Context Toolbar a stroke assigned to the image (not frame) gets ignored on replace (see 'pear' > doesn't happen via Res-Mgr).
    While, at least in this test, scale & position seem to work as expected via Resource Manager. Unfortunately there the selection of a specific image copy gives a hard time because of its inability to maintain a selected image in its list but selects its folder instead. I am aware that copies of images aren't a usual layout workflow, nevertheless this weird behavior is quite annoying for tests like this. Also one might start with placeholder images spread across a page or document layout for later replacement, which will run into this difficulty, too.

    Not sure if this is a bug or maybe a setting I'm missing... I find that depending on the photo dimensions when I replace one photo with another, the picture frame properties are reset to None. I had a file with a collage of 10 photos and had to replace each one and for each one I had to re-choose Scale to Max Fit.
    I just did a couple test (both 1.8.x and 1.9 beta) and it seems to work properly if the new photo is the same dimensions or even the same but rotated 90 degrees. But if it's a completely different size then it resets to None.

    MNU reacted to postmadesign in BUG? Picture frame does not retain setting when replacing image   
    I have been playing around trying to figure out how to convert some InDesign documents to Publisher. Although the conversion works really quite well, there are certainly some bugs, especially with placed images. I got frequent crashes when replacing images, and they are generally not correctly sized and sometimes squished.
    Now that I had set up the spread as I wanted, I wanted to test if it would work in a real world situation: I have the same basic spread but the content (graphs, tables etc.) have to be changed. What I ran into immediately is that Publisher does not retain the customized placement of the image when I replace it. I replaced both Designer files as well as EPS files, but in both cases I have to manually rescale and position the image each time. The files that I replace the images with are exactly the same dimensions, so this can not be the problem. It just seems to reset the picture frame each time. This is of course very annoying and gives a lot of unneccesary work. Is this some kind of bug, as I can not see why this would be intended behaviour?

    I would most certainly consider it a bug. If I crate a template document and then update it with a new picture I want the new picture to obey the rules of the frame and not the other way around.

    MNU reacted to Roger Schaerer in "True to Size" of a PDF (Scale)   
    Hi
    We are testing affinity Publisher in our architecture Company.
    Everything is fine beside one very important topic:
    If we import an architectural plan (PDF) we have to be sure, that we publish it "true to size".
    In Indesign we could double click the placed object (PDF gets an orange frame) and then we saw (and could change) in the menubar the scale (see attached picture).
    We saw if its 100% to the original PDF size (for example scale 1:500) or if its 50% (1:1000) or because of a (wrong) manipulation 79%, what we would have to adjust to a correct scale.
    Do you understand what i mean? I couldn't find a way in Affinity Publisher to control that. And without this, the program is not functional for our layouting.
    We are working with a german version of affinity (1.8.6.) and Indesign. Our two companies have 38 architect and i know that a lot of architecture company in zuerich are unhappy with the pricing of InDesign and are looking for substitution.
    My User Email is schaerer@roger.net. I started with your Betaversion. You improved so many things, this is the only problem left before i can substitute Indesign in the whole company...
    Best Regards
