Another problem I've noticed, hopefully not duplicating another post. Trying to update a Paragraph Style of text with a Variable Font applied resets the Variable Font to the original state rather than updating the Paragraph Style. variable.mov

Seneca replied to MikeTO's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
This is probably a bug. However, in general, it's considered bad typography to leave text so close to the numbers. InDesign and Publisher have a way to define a standoff between the text and the numbers. Publisher accomplishes this by setting the Right Indent and Last Line Outdent Paragraph Options. A possible bug I discovered quite a some time ago is that if the line just fits in with the page number Publisher will try to leave it alone, irrespective of the stand off defined in the paragraph style. I've included a small sample file and a short video demonstrating it. TOC Length of Entries.afpub TOC.mov -

Hello @CM0, obviously this is for Tim and the team to answer but from what I understand the UI controls are going to be part of the release.

I hope you are aware that double-clicking on a panel's name will minimise that panel.

It's been a year since this progress report was posted by Tim. I wonder whether we could have another one soon. 🙂

I would define Character Styles for Bold, Italic, etc. in Publisher and would find and replace all occurrences of the above with the character styles you defined earlier. That would take you only a couple of minutes. Once you've done that you are free to apply any paragraph styles etc and the character formatting will remain unchanged.

Me neither. However I get an immediate crash doing: Notes Panel -> Reset Document Settings to Factory Defaults on 1 August Jr Corrected.afpub file. Publisher Beta 2.4.0 (2279).

I've just checked my PDF files exported with previous beta version and indeed the problem is there. Funny I didn't notice it then. 🙂

The new beta has introduced transparency issues when creating a PDF to: PDF for Print , PressReady or PDF-X4. I've attached two PDFs, one done in 2.3, and another done in the latest beta for comparison. 2.3: transparency_good.pdf 2.4.0.2256 transparency_bad.pdf Original sample file Transparency.afpub

Surely, scripting will not help with importing tags if there is no tag import/export support in the software itself in the first place. So rather than asking for scripting support for tags you should be asking for Tags import, export support in Publisher first, like what we have in inDesign and QuarkXpress. Then scripting will expose all that capability to us users/scripters and you can craft your script in the way you described above. Personally, I don't think you sound harsh, you want to make sure that we have that capability in Publisher as well, which I sincerely hope so too.

Documentation and all the rest that goes with it is very important upon the release of the product. However, there is value in including this functionality early in the beta cycles of the product(s). Even if the scripting is not ready and missing a lot of functionality. It doesn't have to be part of major point releases until it's actually release worthy. Those of us who would love to experiment with it early would send an invaluable feedback to the devs, which in my opinion is as important as the release itself. And those who love living on the edge would start using it early in live projects and learn what works what what doesn't.

If you insert a figure space in the text, the majority of the fonts on my system, except Arial and a few others insert 0 in there as well as the figure space marker. This behaviour was in 2.3 and possibly in earlier versions. I have not way of checking that though. I wonder whether this is only specific to my setup. Please see the video: figure-space.mov

I definitely prefer the way inDesign handles it. The chances of having the first letter of a word with a character style to be different from the rest of the word are rather slim. I call it more intelligent design. 🙂

Normalise Breaks on Copy in Plain Text is not Sticky
Seneca posted a topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
I wonder whether this is only my problem but when clicking on Normalise Break on Copy in Plain Text in the preferences Panel doesn't stick across program launches. I don't want to reset my preferences in case this is a real issue for other as well. I'm on MacOSX Ventura 13.6.4 Here's the video to illustrate what I'm seeing. retain.mov -
This is quite an edge case but changing the initial letter in a word with a character style applied to it does not retain the style. Changing a letter inside the word or selecting it and retyping it from scratch retains the style correctly. Changing the initial letter in a word with a character style at the beginning of the paragraph works correctly as well. This applies to other character styles like Bold, Bold-Italic, Small Caps if one has them created in the Styles Panel. Please see a short video illustrating the problem. char-style.mov
