Thank you for this. Just found it after your assistance on an issue with Publisher.

Thanks for prompt responses and sorry I missed finding the bug as previously reported. Not sure what program the PDF was created in. Its a tutorial created by a gentleman called Chris Hildenbrand titled "The ‘somewhat Helpful Hints’ for Affinity Designer" I'll have a look at the other thread.

The opening a PDF file some of the text characters do not display correctly, in both Publisher and Designer. However, if opened within the Edge browser everything is as it should be. All required fonts are installed for the document. Publisher and Designer V. 2.3.1 Windows 11 Pro V. 22H2 OS Build 22621.3085

Am I thinking this is the same issue that hopefully has been resolved. Currently on build 2.0.4 202824058_Recording2023-04-09100848.mp4

Yes using V2 and linked style method works a treat. Saves me a lot of hassle in the workflow. Thank you both for your help. 5*

Thanks for the prompt reply Walt. That's essentially what I've been doing but its not very efficient. I wonder if its something that could be implemented easily within the software in future. Not a developer but do the styles need only be stored with the image file. Macros for example are available to any opened file I believe irrespective of when or how they were created.

I have the requirement that Kwamekofi had. I just want to be able to call on a saved Text Style within Photo. For example: Say I take a number of photos of groups of people. I want to put the persons name under each individual. I create a character style that I use to "label" each person on the first photo. Now when I open the next image I would like to have that character style available to use on this photo and any other image that I open in the future. It gives me the option to create a Paragraph or Character Style but are we saying its only available to use for that particular image file and not for any other that's opened subsequently? Thanks

The Select same feature has been great and has potential to be even greater. In regard to the select same fill colour. Is it possible to select a range of hue? If I have a complex shape that has a multitude of say yellow hues would it be possible to select two saturation points and have all those items in between selected.

Resolved the issue. Realised that the Icon only files were .svg files. Installed a small program that enables a thumbnail to be viewed within Explorer.

Thanks Callum. Yes tried that and I now have thumbnails for all but .afphoto files that remain as icons only. The rest display as expected.

Thanks for the reply Just gone back to the test folder and it has recertified itself, each file shows the thumbnail as it should with a small icon However, now the files created previously created in Photo have all reverted to the purely a Affinity Photo icon. Any idea on how to rectify this?

Hi. I wonder if anyone could shed some light on what's happening on my PC. I've had some issues with the display of thumbnails of files created with the 3 Affinity programs and .jpg files. Its well documented that icons may replace thumbnails if those files have been backed up with OneDrive. I ended up switching off OneDrive because I wanted to see the thumbnails for my project. At first I could see thumbnails for Publisher and Designer with a mini icon in the bottom. However, Photo files remained as an icon only. Decided to reinstall Photo and now I have a different situation. I have thumbnails for all file types but the .afphoto file has a Publisher icon although .afphoto is associated with Photo. Please see attached. The image of the otter was saved in Photo and associated with photo yet has a Publisher Icon. Cheers

Thank you and apologies for tardy reply. Work around was to leave what I could off the master pages until the last minute.

Reverted to Version 18.5 and works fine. Unfortunately I couldn't open the same document I had tried to create in Version 19 as it wouldn't let me open it. However, created a similar document and I could move items without the significant lag. I guess my only option is t report as a bug.

Tried the beta and no difference, maybe even bit worse.
