  1. I just wonder why leading has this privilege to talk about its counterpart -- leading override? We have plenty of them and we don't even notice or mention them. Just look at "Paragraph", Character" and "Character styles". Everything we change with them is an override. Change local kerning or tracking and you have an override. Change the font or its size with character style and you have an override again. Why aren't they renamed as overrides? Leading override is a bad habbit because it creates an unpleasing gap between the rows on a beautifully layouted page. It must be avoided by using fixed leading (not auto) or by separating the distacting elements on a new line. If you want to keep it on the same line with the body text and it creates bigger leading on that line even if you use fixed leading, it is time to report a bug, not to use leading override.
  2. because Affinity apps are written from scratch. They don't have anything in common with Serif's Plus apps.
  3. Maybe a Master leading override should be added (for more fun) into Text Frame panel that will override the standard leading and the leading override?
  4. In InDesign Leading is a character attribute, so is Leading override. But, it is wrong because leading override deals with rows just as Leading does -- which is a paragraph feature -- and not with selection. Affinity treats Leading as a paragraph attribute -- which is absolutelly correct -- so Leading override must be treated as well and must be reallocated into paragraph section just bellow Leading.
  5. You have to do it manually and then go to page 2 and in "Section" set it to number "1".
  6. Maybe because 1-bit does not leave gray artefacts and can be much easily traced by a vector app?
  7. Hi, I can't find the Frequency Separation Video Tutorial neither on YouTube, nor on Affinity site. Is it removed, renamed...
  8. It could be possible, also, to add words from an external file.
  9. It would be nice to expand this feature and rename it Learn Spelling and Hyphenation. Before entering the word into the special dictionary, Publisher should allow us to hyp-he-na-te the word with soft hyphens so it can be correctly hyphenated in the future. This feature would be extremelly useful for the languages (like Macedonian) that do not have neither spelling nor hyphenation dictionaries. The dictionary has to be external for easy backup. It has to be added into the spelling and hyphenation dictionaries lists in paragraph and text styles panels.
  10. Hi, almost everytime I get texts written in some text processor, they are A4/Letter format and contain pictures, charts, vectors... When placing them into Publisher to create a book which is usually in smaller format, they exceed text frames. So, I am asking you, is it possible to add an option in Publisher to auto resize them proportionally to fit the text frame during importing?
  11. It can be considered as a DTP app specialized for long documents like books, manuals...
  12. 1. I don't know any word processor that has "paragraph composer" feature. 2. Hyphenation engine should auto detect the language of the word to be hyphenated so we don't need to select specific language for that. 3. There is already "no break" feature as character attribute. 4-5. Yes, I would love separate style panels because I use lots of paragraph and character styles. BTW, I deleted predefined Affinity styles and created mine not based on "group" style and without "No Change" anywhere in paragraph styles. 6. What is more easier than right click on any style and choose "delete"? 7. Yes, it would be nice. 8. Call the idiot and ask him what he has done or just use "Find/Replace" to change manual formating with character style formating. BTW it would be nice if applying paragraph local or style formating do not reset local character formatings. 9. Do you mean support for color fonts or something else? 10. You can already format bullets/numbers by assigning a character style in "bullets and numbers" in paragraph panel and you can format the text by using paragraph style.
  13. I rarely do any (text) distorsions, so I do not miss this feature too much, but it would be nice to have it, of course.
  14. That's correct. I completelly replaced Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Xara... with Photo and Designer, but still waiting for footnotes to dump InDesign and start using Publisher.
  15. If you have Acrobat (or similar software), it is much easier to right click on the TIF file and choose "Convert to PDF".
  16. With leading you control space between paragraph lines, so it is paragraph attribute. Simple as that. If I want to shift some characters up or down I use baseline shift, not leading override. In mine 25+ years career in this business I didn't have any need for leading overrides at all. I am glad that Affinity put leading to paragraph preferences. Do not expect that Affinity will remove leading override from characters settings, but it is removed in my mind for good. BTW, Quark also sets leading as paragraph attribute only and it is quite enough.
