Just an interesting info for those who don't know: JavaScript was written in 10 days.

I’m new to this long thread. Maybe I missed the answer. Could you tell me if scripting functionality has been added to Publisher?
I work with editing multi-page publications and I need both scripting support and GPU acceleration in a layout program. So far, none of the programs I know support both features at the same time.Scripting is in a developing process and for GPU acceleration go to "Edit > Settings > Performance" and check "Hardware acceleration".

Maybe, but is he working on something really, really, really big?
And what about Affinity?

It has become pretty quiet around Affinity and its products
I don't like this silence either. How busy must they have been to not write a word?
So what about the VectorStyler developer? He has to add new features, fix bugs every week, and yet he has time to respond to every email he receives.

When I open one of Affinity programs, it asks for my email and password and a verification number. Maybe I clicked something that said that was what I wanted but I didn't know it was an every time I opened any of my affinity programs (Photo, Designer, and Publisher). After typing the email, password, and number a new window appeared with a new License Agreement. This agreement says I bought serif through MS store which I didn't. And this window won't let me use my programs unless I agree to everything. Everything worked fine until this last update. Once again an update caused more trouble for the customer than any improvement that it's suppose to make.
Have you tried to check "I accept the terms..." and click ACCEPT button?

Oooooohhh Affinity...

I've just realized that it works if you paste style from one to another text box, but it doesn't work on selected text which is what I want to do (or maybe I don't know how).

Hi, I applied a layer effect to text in Publisher and I want to apply it to other text, but I don't know how. Can anyone help?

I think QuarkXPress approach is the best. They implemented font manager in it so you can work with fonts like this:
- First, QXP search for fonts in the folder where the working document is and they are seen only by that document;
- If there are no fonts in the that local folder then it search in the QXP folder where the app is installed. If it finds any fonts in there then they are available to all Quark documents;
- Otherwise, it search for fonts into Windows > Fonts folder.

I mean, being able to browse the latest repository of Google Fonts inside the app, and have the ability to use them natively without having to install them.
If I understand you correctly, you want to use them directly from the Google site. If so, I don't think that's a good idea because you'll have to rely on a reliable internet connection. Second, Google fonts are constantly evolving, new glyphs are added or something. In that case, I'm not sure how the app will handle the new version of the font.

@MikeTO Just a suggestion -- maybe it would look nicer if you remove page numbers on chapter titles in TOC and put them closer to the next lines?

If they also improve the appearance panel (and anchor point) to be closer to how it works in Illustrator, it might actually become the best option out there.
Why don't you make a suggestion to VectorStyler?

Does creating template include the changes done in "Edit > Settings..." or only changes you made on your workspace?

We have different export format in Publisher but not .idml. I suugest to include that format, if we could open it whisch is fantastic, why not export for InDesign users. It is practical in some colaboration work.
IMO they will have first to complete .IDML import for the features they have in common.

Both Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo support layered TIFFs, but neither app retains the layers when opening files created by their competitors.
That's OK, but I still think they are better choice than .PNG.

Since we're waiting anyway, why not wait for a 3D feature too.
Sure, but it goes to the end of the list.

@Petar Petrenko: Use a good old plain blank vector shape as a clipping object. The result will be the same.
(Or vice versa: That's what I'm also using in ADe and APu anyway. I've always found the Vector Crop tool pointless. But that's just me…
)
I work with clipping objects, but IMO crop tool should work the same in all apps.
In Photo you should define (final) document size when creating a new document and then use crop tool to fine tune the elements on the layers.

It would be nice if crop tool in Photo works the same way it works in Publisher -- to crop the selected object, not to resize the whole document.

I also think the bitmap aspect seems to be quite well implemented inside Designer, in much better way than in Illustrator, and quite often we need to work with images as well, right. But it does not replace vector pattern fills in any way.
It also does not seem too difficult to implement. Now I can take a seamless vector pattern, make it a symbol, duplicate it along the horizontal and vertical axes as many times as I need, group the whole thing and get my vector pattern that I can scale, rotate, etc in any way I want. Updating the symbol updates the pattern. Sounds good right. But it is clunky and requires too many steps to achieve it. It also produces a whole lot of vector paths, which are all the same, adds unnecessary complexity to the file, and there’s no way to save my patterns in a neat fashion within Swatches panel to be used as instant fills for any shape.
How do you know?
Are you a programmer?To implement a new feature, you have to find a suitable algorithm or design your own. Do you think it's that easy?
It also depends on how skilled the programmers are. Do they know how to do it? Maybe the code will need to be restructured?

All these as a part of Publisher would be great. No separate app needed.
