  1. What a confusion: Special layer, Layer layer, container, Artboard... I hope Affinity will raise Artboards on higher level in v. 2.0 and give them a separate panel with the same rang as "Pages" in Publisher. After all, pages, artboards... are all substrates or canvases which designers use to place the elements of their artworks on specific layers.
  2. Version 2.0 may come after 1.26 or 1.73 or 1.263... It depends when the foot/end notes will be ready.
  3. Publisher's feature to resize the columns with a mouse is really great. Resizing the gutter with CTRL+drag would be a very nice addition.
  4. Yes, Xara has this option when importing PDF. You can select multiple text blocks and merge them. Selecting order is important, too.
  5. Hi, I finally got Publisher's workbook and at the very beggining I found a typo under Contributors subhead, just after the list of Affinity Workbook Team. It says: It should be: Publishing projects generally require content from four creative spectrums: photography, illustration, type and color. This is because design is not a creative element (spectrum), but a creative process that uses these four elements to create an eye-catching final document.
  6. Hi, it would be nice if we could have a choice to choose how many pages (PDF) or artboards to place in Publisher document. Another nice option would be to choose a range of pages (like 1st, 4th, 6th, 12th) and how to palce them: continuosely -- on pages 1, 2, 3 and 4; or on the same pages -- 1, 4, 6 and 12. That is because the "Spread" dissapears after placing the first page.
  7. So, something must be changed here. An "option" button with choices would be fine where you can enter the range of pages you want and: "continuous" option if you want selected range to be one after another, or "corresponding pages" where pages 1, 3 and 6 would be placed on pages 1, 3 and 6 on the Publisher document leaving the rest of the document unchanged.
  8. Hi, I created a 10 pages blank document in which I want to place only 3 pages (1st, 3rd, 6th) from a PDF file that has much more. I can put only the first one which can be replaced with another one when I click on a "Spread" dropdown list (which is active when the page is selected) shown on the control bar. I have to repeat the process as many times as I have pages to be placed. Do I miss something?
  9. I was a QXP user several years ago and now, while I'm waiting for Publisher to introduce footnotes, I use ID. I start with: cleaning the text in ID, convert local character formating with character styles, apply text style to the whole document because more than 90% of it is body text, apply the rest of the styles. Number 2 could be avoided if the A-Team decide not to reset local character formatings with applying local paragraph or paragraph style formatings. It would dramaticaly accelerate my workflow.
  10. Yes, I agree. But all the authors have prof. PhD titles of the Philosophy and Phylology faculties. Most of them are so arogant and hard to work with. They don't give me clean text, because they expect it is my job to correct it.
  11. Author can be in this format: Author 1 Affiliation 1 Author 2 Affiliation 2 Author 3 Affiliation 3 ... ...
  12. Except the abstract, the other 3 paragraphs may span to more than one line, including the UDC numbers in the first raw.
  13. The paragraphs I mentioned are only at the starting of every story, not through it.
  14. So, why not Affinity to be the first one? It is not very hard to implent and it is rather interesting and usefull and it saves time. I can't because this is not on me. Lots of stories in one book with different requests. Thanks anyway.
  15. I really appreciate your effort, but I think we didn't undestand each other well. Thank you very much.
  16. If you read this thread from the start you would see that I mentioned 4 paragraphs for this example. not only 1 or 2. In some cases I have 2 or more authors with their affiliations and/or 2 or more lines with UDC numbers (the very first row). And there is the abstract, too. So, the baseline grid doesn't work in this cases.
  17. Of course I'll wait (if they find it usefull to implement it). This is a suggestion for a new feature.
  18. I don't want to use baseline grid. I want, in this case, author to start exactly at the ## mm from the top of the page. Same for the Title and other paragraphs by my choice.
  19. Of course there is a room for additional lines, but did you try it to expand the Title to 2 (or more) lines? In that case the author will be moved down. My idea is to avoid additional paragraph adjustments with space before/after if some paragraph changes its length. It is useful only with a few starting paragraphs, not the whole text.
  20. How do you plan to fix it to stay at the same possition if the Heading is expanded to 2 or more elines?
  21. And what if the Heading "From Cultural..." from the left page is expanded to 2 or 3 lines (as it usual happens with the authors when making corrections)? You will have to adjust the next paragraph with space before or after.
  22. Of course we can't. This is a suggestion for a new feature. You'll have to analize the text before you set the values.
