Asian Punctuation Line Breaking Problem
Seneca replied to loyukfai's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
Could you kindly point me to that statement from Serif, please. As far as I am aware this was dropped from the list because it is going to take longer than anything else.- 49 replies

IDML imported file has transparency issues
Seneca replied to StevieB's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Will the Transparency Tool in Publisher not do the trick for you? -
Color Swatches from Illustrator or Photoshop
Seneca replied to bcbrooks's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
You should export the swatches as "Export Swatches for Exchange..." so you'll get .ase extension automatically. And then you can just import that file to Affinity Photo without any problem. -
Footnotes/Endnotes
Seneca replied to garrettm30's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
That would be awesome. -
I hope I didn't dampen your enthusiasm here, that wasn't my intention. I do have CSS background and I see your problem. But in reality working on any larger project you will end up having all these styles defined anyway. But, trying to look outside the box is great and I applaud you for that. Maybe multiple inheritance would prove very valuable here. EDIT: MI will not solve this particular problem either.

I don't think I would want that as an option. But what's the difference between your approach of selecting part of text and applying say bold and then underline (2 actions) from having one character style Bold-Underline and apply it only once. You could base your Bold and Bold-Italic on the common style upstream to reduce repetition.

Footnotes/Endnotes
Seneca replied to garrettm30's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
I suspect we are going to see footnotes and endnotes first. The side ones if they ever arrive they will arrive later. -

Oddly enough you were the one one that left a comment there. -
Master page spread when applied to single page
Seneca replied to garrettm30's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
I have reported this usability issue at least twice on this board so this is not an unknown issue. I hope that when Serif comes up with an updated layer system they will also address this issue here. -
Footnotes/Endnotes
Seneca replied to garrettm30's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Thank you @Old Bruce for your thoughts. I think that pinning text frames (side notes) to the main text is too fragile and is a hack as far as I am concerned. Peter's script does it because this feature doesn't exist in inDesign. I hope that Affinity will be able to come up with a solution that is more maintainable. And hopefully we the community will be able to push Affinity in the right direction. -
I've just tried this. Copied the table linked by Gabe using Safari. I then selected the right number of columns and rows and pasted the table successfully. However, this doesn't work if I leave the cursor in a cell and paste. All get's pasted into one cell. I think Publisher should realise that the contents of a table are pasted into an existing table and it should paste that to appropriate cells. So, there is room for improvement here as far as I am concerned. 🙂

BUG: Overly long text in section name spins AFP
Seneca replied to Helmar's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Hi Helmar, Believe or not this idea came up already. I too would very much like to see something like that implemented in Publisher. But again, there are so many other things I would like to see implemented first. -
Hi @Helma Splitting your book in independent chapters may afford you the most flexibility. You can add, or delete pages at will without worrying about how things may change down the line. Please let us know whether that has made any difference working on your book. Best regards

Well, you seem to treat Publisher like a Word Processor. You should only start page-making business if your text is complete or almost complete. If you add pages, delete text things will move and there is nothing you can do about it. Whether you do it in inDesign, QuarkXpress or Publisher you should start layout out pages only if your text will not change. (Edits are to be expected of course). Magazines and leaflets are a different beast. Most of the pages are independent and you can add, delete them at will.

This has happened to be before. The problem get's fixed then the same problem comes back again in another beta. Basically what happens is that the pinned object gets moved to the Master layer. if you open your layers panel you will notice that the graphics has been moved to that layer. It's annoying that this keeps coming back unresolved. Edit: To elaborate a bit further - this only happens if you pin to a text box coming from the Master Pages. If you create a text box on a page and pin anything to it this doesn't happen. I have reported this a number of times and it gets fixed and then the problem comes back again.

Move easily paragraphs
Seneca replied to jjk's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
inDesign doesn't have a shortcut for that either but because it has scripting support it has been scripted by Peter Kahrel and is available as a free script for those who want this. My point then is that if/when we get scripting in Publisher a lot of things like that will be sorted out fairly easily. -
Unfortunately, Publisher doesn't have an equivalent to Object Styles in inDesign. I, and a score of others have asked for that but, frankly, there are more important things missing from Publisher (Footnotes for example) that this can wait a little.

An inconsistency in behaviour or a tiny bug. Create a Text Box and apply a stroke to the text box, – then create a Table – Table has no stroke. Create a Table and apply a stroke then create a text box and the stroke is carried over to the text box. This is inconsistent but most probably a bug because one should not influence the other.
