[Tables across more pages]

"Serif - Professional creative software". Its statement on their pages. Its not fun free project. I must insist on what i said. At this stage its not suitable for professional work. (i mean, by the functions , not because it may fall / die / delete your data). To me its like betatesting car with square wheels. You CAN move forward. Yes.  You can make rich publication, but when you change two sentences in the beginning, you have to manually move all the images, elements, tables etc. Fun in 50 pages publication with more than 100 images, icons. But, yes, you can.

Another thing is, where i just simply dont understand it, Serif have long term development of other DTP products, like pagePlus. How its even possible they release (even to "beta") such incomplete version? When they know, how people work with their products?

If you will start telling me that they may add the features... I asked about inserting objects into text, anchoring. Answer was - not in distant future, not in version 1.7 Too complicated. If this is true, serif didnt change their mind, and i didnt understood it wrong, than we have months, maybe year+ of development till first usable version for professional use. (.1 version in designer is 1y+ as far i follow the builds)

I dont think that im insulting the dev team. Im very impressed by their work. They work hard. Im still thinking, that this project is needed as salt.
Still, if there are not such basic things , its maybe alpha testing. really not beta testing of software for professional use.

 

 

 

I agree. That's a must have for professionals.

This is a serious deficiency, which should be fixed as soon as possible. It makes Affinity Publisher an unprofessional tool, and that is a shame. I hope Serif realizes how limiting the lack of this function is for professionals.

[Global color update not live]

Same for me. I hope that it will be fixed soon. Live global color update was one of my favourite feature.

[Node tool selection via Publisher 2 does not work]

When I switch to the Designer Persona in Publisher 2, I cannot select the nodes of a shape by holding down the mouse button. I have to click on them individually.

If I open the document directly in Designer 2, it works. I assume that this is a bug in the Publisher.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is it the same for others?

Thank you very much,
Carsten

Same for me

[Strange behavior of color palette in "Text frame" panel]

Thank you @loukash

[Strange behavior of color palette in "Text frame" panel]

If you take a look at the screenshot, you can see how the colors in the "Swatches" palette do not match those shown in the "Text Frame" panel. The software is Affinity Publisher 2, operating system Catalina 10.15.7.
Can anyone explain why?
Thanks

[The Stock Search is not working on all 3 Affinity V2 apps]

Same issue on Mac (OS Catalina, 10.15.7 ). And it was the same also in V1. When I change search term and press enter, nothing happens. 

[Transparency blending color space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in generated PDF]

@lacerto Beyond the bad artifact you may see in print, a serious problem is that preflight software may reject PDF file because of the RGB space used for transparency blending. I love Affinity products, but if they want to be truly competitive even on the professional printing side, they need to fix these issues as soon as possible. If these issues are not resolved, people will find themselves forced to continue using competing software because they provide more reliability in PDF generation. And that's a shame, because Affinity would be truly outstanding.

[Cannot open Publisher Document]

Similar issue for me. Latest version of Publisher and Big Sur. Very disappointing. Affinity crashes while opening the file.

PLEASE MANAGE THIS. It's a major issue

[Transparency blending color space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in generated PDF]

Thank you Iacerto for your superb explanation

[Transparency blending color space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in generated PDF]

Hi guys. For test purposes, I set up a extremely simple CMYK Publisher document (Fogra 39 profile). I simply drew a vector object (a "donut") and rasterized it within the document. I then exported the pdf with the option "ready to print". Adobe Acrobat DC's output preview correctly detects transparency, and shows a "Transparency blending color space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1" despite of the CMYK color space. Is this normal?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Attached are the files I used for the test.

[Feature request - Resource manager - Highlight of non-collected resources]

Hallo Walt! I think that the collection folder is "special" because it's related to the AP file with a relative path, and this makes possible to move folder and AP file together (or zip them together for sending etc.)  avoiding to break links.

[Feature request - Resource manager - Highlight of non-collected resources]

In resource manager I can't easily distinguish between linked, integrated and collected resources. I think that it can be really useful to highlight what resources are neither integrated nor collected, in order to avoid accidental deletion of linked files.

[Swatches dissappear]

OS X 10.8.5 same issue. I have to close and restart Designer.
