Agreed! Any word on this?

Dragging the SVG files into the asset subcategory worked perfectly. Thanks for this.

Whatever came of this discussion? I don't see that any changes or conveniences have been added, outside of Sort Hierarchical, which is only useful in certain contexts. Given the limited screen space when working on the go, this is a rather bizarre oversight. Creating software to work with various work spaces is critical. I love Publisher 2, but there are so many issues that make it difficult to make the switch from InDesign.

Definitely need picture and object frame styles. That this isn't currently already available is baffling.

Hey guys: just a quick bug report. I've attached the image, which shows the issue. For some reason, as the bullets near the end of the text frame, their indent spacing goes wonky. I have to extend the bottom of the frame down that far to fix it. I've opened and closed the file, and I have the same results. Windows 11 Home edition, latest build 1702 Publisher 2, latest build to my knowledge 2.1.0

Changing the color of the standard guides should be an option, then! My current client's brand colors include a blue very similar to the "ruler" guides, making them nearly impossible to use. Hopefully that's on the roadmap?

Heya Dan! The crashing does seemed to have stopped with the new build, so yay! Re: the second issue: I have not had the white-out re-occur, so I'm hoping that was perhaps related to my former (RIP) work laptop, a Microsoft Surface Book 2. In that specific instance, I was only using two fonts in the document, and I was only working on one document that was approximately 20 pages with 30 or so images. (Less than 20MB in size.) So I did not test it on a new document. The fonts did not change behavior in any way. As for your second two questions, that brings up the related issue I noticed: When Publisher 2 goes into "not responding" mode (lightened screen color and spinning circle of death cursor), the CPU usage continuing to fluctuate in the 10-15% range. It usually shows "not responding" in the top bar and the Task Manager, though not always. This was ongoing this past week, even on a new laptop with solid graphic design specs (Asus Zephyrus G15 with Ryzen 7 and NVIDIA 3060, 16GB RAM). While the crashing has lessened on my new laptop, it does still crash on occasion. When possible, I left it sit for up to 10 minutes, and it continued to show CPU usage but the spinning circle cursor and "not responding". I finally had to end task it, as I'm a freelancer working on site . Gotta make hay while the sun shines, as they say. Due to the limited RAM on my laptop, I have not touched the performance options--they are sitting on the default options. I have to use Adobe products in parallel, so I try to only adjust one program if I can, so as to prevent over-taxing due to my limited knowledge of balancing resources. Adobe being a resource hog on a good day, I only adjust those programs as needed. Of the dozen or so times it crashed this week, however, only twice did it show zero CPU usage (had a lightened screen and circle cursor). But when this happened, at no point did it show "not responding" in the top bar. I found this odd, so that's why I'm pointing it out. Perhaps someone else may report the same thing...or maybe it's something unique to my setup. I don't know. The good news, no matter how often it did this, the crash file was always available upon startup, so I did not lose much work. Yay for that feature!! If I can provide more info, I'm happy to. Sorry for the verbosity, but I know sometimes it's the dumb details that are useful. As I haven't had it crash nearly as often on my desktop PC, which has 32GB RAM and the PC version of the NVIDIA 3060, I suspect it's related to resources. However, I've never had a program be so inconsistent with whether it reported as not responding, which does seem like an oddity unique to Pub 2. All my devices are running on the latest Windows 11 build (1702), with my PC running Windows 11 Pro N and my laptop running Windows 11 Home. Both have the latest Pub 2 licensed version (2.1.0).

Hey guys--Tested this on my laptop and my desktop, both running Windows 11 latest build and latest Publisher 2 version. I can change the margin color, but I am unable to change the guide color. I've attached to images to show how changing the color has no effect on the guide color. I've also tested this on another laptop that had just downloaded Publisher 2, with the same (null) effect. this has been consistent across the laptops and the last two builds (updates) of Publisher 2, as I've only recently started using it after using Publisher 1. I daresay this is a bug? Windows 11 Pro N and Windows 11 Home (desktop/laptop, respectively), build 1702 Affinity Publisher 2 version 2.1.0, as well as the previous two builds

I'm having a similar problem. I'm using the built in keyboard on my laptop, which is also brand new, and Publisher is suddenly not recognizing my keyboard after working for less than an hour. It's happened three times this morning. Windows 11, latest build 22521.1702

Hey guys! I'm using Publisher 2 on a client project, as it's a low-cost method instead of the standard Adobe subscription. Plus, it spreads the word of your awesomeness! I'm using the latest download of Publisher, as I just installed it on a new laptop yesterday. On both the new graphically capable laptop (NVIDIA 3060 on a Ryzen 7 CPU) and my older Microsoft Surface Book 2, I have the same crash. When using the zoom tool (as opposed to control + scroll zoom) on and off and when adjusting graphic elements by adding geometry and then inserting text into the newly standardized element, I tend to get the "not responding" white out and have to force-quit the process and re-open the document. I'm on a Windows 11 ASUS ROG Zepherus G15 and the latest version of Publisher 2, professional license. I cannot provide screen shots or files due to confidentiality constraints.
