Oh no! Quark is also bad!
Of course.
But, there is a way to rearange panels (task for Affinity staff) and the designer to be 100% efficient without having to memorize the panels' possitions.
-
Neither Affinity nor Adobe or Quark have an elegant solution for panels.

Hi @Petar Petrenko,
Inline graphics do not follow text wrap rules. You have to control this via the Pinning Studio.
Well, IMO it is not good idea text wrapping to be separated in 2 pannels, but you know better...
-
I inserted a picture as an inline object and wanted to make space above and bellow it. So, I selected the picture, opened "Text Wrap" panel, chose "Square" wrap style and adjusted the values, but no space was creates. Same with other wrap styles. Am I doing something wrong?
-
When changing the column gutter width through context toolbar only, the text frame is resizing.

It could be very slow. I don't use Studio Link at all because it doesn't work as I thought it would, so if it is not in Publisher... working in one app, then importing it...

Is that really related to this topic, Petar, or should it have its own topic to make sure it's not lost?
As I could understand it is about putting an image into frame when placing it in Publisher. Nut, as I can see, it already has a frame, a rectangle (as a mask) in the Layer pannel.
-
If you place an image in Publisher you can see in "Layers" panel that a rectangular layer mask exists which can be used for cropping picture. But, if you want to add a stroke to it, you will see the the stroke is applied arround the picture instead on the rectangle.
-
Unless they can be easily transfered from app to app, it doesn't matter in which app they will be implemented. But, for me, it makes sence this app to be Publisher because of the tables already in it.
-
Maybe it would be better if you create tutorials based on the titles listed in TECH SPEC -- which can be linked to the specific title -- and explain in the tutorial all the topics below it.

Do I understand that I should not buy the program 'PaintShop Pro' for AP 1.8? Or would I just look for a certain Topaz plugin to paint within AP? I'm a little confused....??
It is like you ask do you have to buy Photoshop for AP.

Also, there should be a note if you try to install already installed brushes. Or, to automatically skip the already installed brushes if you try to install multiple collections.

Hi,
it would be nice if we could format header/footer of a table like this:
-
For now, you can only move a letter or selection up/down with "baseline" and left/right with "kerning"/"tracking" character settings.

Here is another option which can't be found in InDesign or Quark and it is must have. It is a combination of automatic and semiautomatic text flow (see attachment) and it can be usefull for multi-language documents:
- <CTRL> + <SHIFT> + click on odd page (facing pages) will automatically create additional pages and populate only the odd pages;
- <CTRL> + <SHIFT> + click on specific column (multi-column page) will create additional pages and populate the same columns.
All other combinations should be the same as InDesign's.
-
Great job A-Team. I hope the number 2. will be solved too.
-
Thanks for solving first two options. I hope the third one will be added soon. It would be nice if we could have an option to change the places of paragraphs in TOC.

Not corrected in 1.8.2.603 version.

In InDesign in "Links" panel under burger menu, there is a "Panel Options..." where you can set (beside others) "Actual PPI" and "Effective PPI" to be shown. This way you can easily adjust the size of your picture. It would be very useful for all 3 Affinity apps, though.
I would prefer all these info to be available in the status bar whenever the picture is selected.
-
I never needed to export styles. Import -- yes. It is very useful.

Hi,
please, do not allow applying local paragraph formating or paragraph style to reset any local character(s) formating (everything is OK with character styles) because it must not be done. It is like applying fill color to an object to reset stroke color or vice versa. It just makes no sense. Beside reseting characters alternates, all other local characters formatings are reseted, too: kerning, tracking, baseline shift, super/subscript...
Yes, I now there is a burger menu with "Apply... to... and Clear/Preserve..." but using them every time when doing some changes to paragraphs localy or with style?
Publisher will be really great DTP app if you apply my suggestion. It is something that ID and QXP still have problems with. We could do layout with much more confidence, speed and no pressure that something can go wrong with local formats.
Thank you.

doesn’t that word/character count need to be done before the text is included in the Designer/Publisher document?
Why? I usually write text in DTP software, not in Word. I hate it.
BTW, character count can be useful to determine the price for the customer. For example, dividing the # of chars (without spaces) with 1800 tells me how typewriter pages* are in total inside document. then I multiple that value with my price, like:typewriter pages x price = amout the customer has to pay
*) typewriter pages has 1800 chatracters in average. It is supposed that the page contains 28-30 rowa with 60-66 chars per row -- in average 1800 chars. On typewriter machine all the characters are equal size, but in word processor or DTP program the customer may enter smaller sized text to fake the size of a book to pay less for the pre-press.

No. The main idea is no Studio, no workspaces. Nothing to memorize which you don't need.
