Hi @Mary W-T and welcome to the forums, Do you have 'Save thumbnails with documents' selected under the General Settings/Preferences...

Wrong time format filed from excel in Publisher 2.4.2
Hangman replied to in4matik's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Hi @in4matik and welcome to the forums, I'm seeing the same issue on Mac... it appears to be .xlsx specific as a .csv version is working correctly... -
It won't do this if you dock the Layers panel to the left of the UI rather than floating it......

Photo 2.4.2 Basic Brushes broken on Windows
Hangman replied to anto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
I've not seen many other reports of this issue so far so it's difficult to know the exact cause but hopefully, your crash reports will help... -

Okay, let us know how that goes and whether either the reinstall or the reset work. -
Photo 2.4.2 Basic Brushes broken on Windows
Hangman replied to anto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Thanks for confirming... Are you willing to try a Factory Reset of the Brushes in the knowledge you'd have to re-add all your custom brushes? -
Photo 2.4.2 Basic Brushes broken on Windows
Hangman replied to anto's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Sorry, I meant how do the brushes preview in the brushes panel in Affinity Photo (not the Photo persona of Publisher) when you change them to List View rather than Icon View, i.e, in Photo check 'Show as List' in the brushes hamburger menu... Do you see the same issue in List view in Photo? -
Hi @Sigs, Are you able to upload a sample CMYK .afphoto file causing the error message as there is no obvious reason why this should be happening, I'm certainly not seeing any issues here but there may be something specific about the CMYK .afphoto files you have... There should be no need to convert the files to RGB... Could you also let us know which CMYK profile the CMYK .afphoto files use?

@anto, Are they shown incorrectly in Photo when in List view which is how you have them shown in the Photo Persona of Publisher? My best guess is that you'll have to do a factory reset, i.e., Ctrl launch and tick Reset Brushes but in doing so you'd have to re-add all your purchased and custom brushes... Equally, there are no guarantees that will work if this issue is caused by something else... -
Hi @liloosmom, The Document and Spread Setup options have been combined in v2 which is so much better and less confusing... I just wanted to see how your document is laid out, the Layers panel isn't specific to exporting... Nothing has changed fundamentally, version 2 has a new look but the underlying functionality of exporting to PDF hasn't changed. If you have a sample document you can upload we can probably figure out what is going on really quickly...

Hi @Callum, I'm assuming a Ctrl launch of Photo selecting Reset Brushes will remove all the custom brushes meaning they'd have to be readded. Is that the case or would linked brushes be maintained on a factory reset? -
Thanks for confirming... in v2 an unclosed curve is automagically closed when creating a compound using Alt Add, in v1 it's left as an unclosed curve but it's completely deleted from the Layers panel when using Add on its own in v2 which I'm assuming isn't the expected behaviour...

Publisher shuts down when book exports
Hangman replied to n.k.0508's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Hi @stokerg, This is the crash report generated when exporting the file in case it helps to identify the cause... Affinity Publisher 2 Affinity Store-2024-04-17-120149.ips -
@Alfred, if you apply the Add Boolean to a stroke, rotated or not, is the stroke deleted for you on Windows and iPad in v2?
-
So it's the same as Mac in v2... I'm unsure whether the behaviour was by Design in v1 or it's just 'broken' in v2... FWIW, this is how it worked in v1 which is exactly what you're looking for I believe... Bounding Box.mp4

Hi @Sigs and welcome to the forums, I'm not seeing any issues with a Publisher document containing this mix of CMYK and RGB Linked files... I'm assuming the EPS and PSD files were created in Illustrator and Photoshop respectively then added to an InDesign document which you're now opening and editing in Publisher is that correct? Can you upload either a source IDML file or a Publisher file along with the Linked assets so we can take a look at what might be causing the problem? It doesn't need to be the complete book, just sufficient pages to cause the 'Failed to load document' message would be fine...
-
This was the point I was questioning in the linked post because it felt wrong to me as well but the view of the developers is as per the response in the previous post... For shapes did you try the Add Boolean option, I'm curious to know if that works in v2 on Windows since even though it works in v1 it no longer works in v2 on Mac...
-
This has been confirmed as expected behaviour for objects rotated by 90°, 180° or 270°, this was the feedback from the developers... This is currently also expected behaviour, see this thread... Based on @Alfred's comment above on Windows it should be possible to select the object and then use Layer > Geometry > Add or select the Add Boolean in the context toolbar to reset the Bounding Box for Shapes, but those shapes will be converted to Curve layers... On Mac, this no longer works in v2 and it doesn't work for strokes in v1 or v2, in fact on Mac using the Add Boolean on a stroke in v2 deletes the stroke completely, I'm not sure what it does on Windows...
-
But you can't set the selection box for objects rotated by 90°, 180° or 270° so that won't work for @ygoe's example...

This doesn't work in v2 on Mac...

Hi @liloosmom and welcome to the forums, Could you provide a screengrab of your Publisher file that shows the Pages panel and Layers panel along with your PDF export settings or better still can you upload a sample document? I assume you want to export the file as single pages? How are you viewing the exported PDF file, in Acrobat Reader or reopening the PDF in Publisher?

Text flow/ text wrap issue with footnote
Hangman replied to Intuos5's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Do you have a sample file or can you reproduce this with the file you uploaded previously? -
I'm unsure whether this would be considered expected behaviour or should be listed as a bug... Opening a .afbook file provided by another user where the files have been saved using 'Save as Package...' can result in a broken link between the .afbook file and its associated chapters. Subsequently, on opening the .afbook file we are presented with the Missing Chapter(s) pop-up... Selecting 'Yes' takes you to the Finder (on Mac), Explorer (on Windows) allowing you to select the appropriate missing chapters. If you're not paying particularly close attention you can easily miss the file path listed at the top of the Finder window (I'm unsure where the file path appears on Windows)... and without thinking can mistakenly select the first file shown in the Finder window 'assuming' that in doing so all Missing Chapter(s) in the .afbook file will be automatically identified and loaded much like in Resource Manager when re-linking missing assets. Admittedly one can put this down to user error, however, if the wrong file(s) are selected, e.g., you're not paying attention to the file listed and end up selecting files in the order shown in the Finder instead, when all chapters have been successfully opened in Publisher double-clicking them in the Books panel will then select the wrong tab, i.e., the incorrect .afpub file is now associated with the chapters listed in the Books panel... It feels as though this 'behaviour' should be flagged with a file mismatch error message to prevent this but equally, maybe this is expected behaviour and would/should be considered 'user error' rather than a bug... Curious to know opinions on this and whether it works the same way on Windows... Note how selecting chapters in the incorrect order in the Finder results in the 'wrong' chapter being associated with the chapter selected in the Books panel despite this being the actual chapter selected in the Finder... It feels that this has the potential to lead to bigger issues when syncing and exporting chapters and chapter selection should throw up an error if there is a mismatch between the filename requested and the file selected... Result of inadvertently selecting incorrect chapters in the Finder and then double-clicking chapters in the Books panel... Note how double-clicking the chapter in the Books panel selects the incorrect tab despite being the associated file selected in the Finder... Tabs.mp4
