  1. If there were such a feature as linked auto updating text then yes this would be useful. As there is no such ability in Publisher, Designer, or Photo that would explain why it is missing.
  2. I do not know how you specify type, having said that I am not sure about 'type:image' but if I use Kind and Other and type in aff or affinity I get this sort of result No other image types show up.
  3. To the best of my knowledge there isn't a simple way to get vectors from an application like Designer into Motion. We can export slices as PDFs and Motion will import them. I seem to recall a method using Python and some special python routines and .... a couple of other things. Sorry my memory is what it is.
  4. These statements make me want to ask a really dumb question. I am wondering; have you saved the Publisher Document?
  5. Coated paper is "shiny" Uncoated paper is "matte/dull/plain" Think of the difference between Glossy Magazines and Newspapers.
  6. I agree that it shouldn't crash, and as others have pointed out this is a bug. But I question why you would drag the swatch instead of just clicking on whichever endpoint to select it and then use a simple click on the swatch colour. No dragging and dropping required.
  7. This sounds like you have "Show Snapping Candidates" checked in the Snapping options.
  8. This sounds like there may be a Designer Document getting opened from a missing network. To stop this from happening you have to hold down the Control key (both Mac and Windows use the Control key) whilst starting up the application. This will bring up a dialog box. Uncheck everything except "Reset Most Recent Documents"
  9. A group style is a Style, first and foremost. If other styles are based on the group then changes to the group's font, size, colour, etc will cascade down to the other styles. A category is collection, for organizing purposes only. A category has no ability to change the font, size, colour etc.
  10. Have you set a gutter size that is greater than 0 (zero)? Here on Mac I got up to 220 then gave up.
  11. Here on my Mac I found that even if I used the Colour Panel's eyedropper to set the stroke the stroke the Appearance panel's stroke didn't update with the chosen (in the colour panel) and applied colour. (And then my machine froze. I am not too sure if that freeze was coincidental or not. I will report back.)
  12. Do you have the Import PSD smart objects where possible checked? It is in the preferences under General.
  13. I am going to assume that the Covers are CMYK. So my advice is to make two documents, the Cover in CMYK and the Interior in K only.
  14. <Pedant on> [Wrap Style] = none ≠ [Distance From Text] = 0.0mm. is as correct or wrong. <Pedant off> No default value is ever going to please everyone.
  15. That is a very interesting document. I tried to use the flood fill tool on it and couldn't get the colour of the pixel layer to change.
  16. Just select the text layer which has the effect(s) in the Layers panel and hit Command/Control + C to copy the layer. Now select the layer you want to apply the effect(s) to and use the Edit > Paste FX. Do not select the text with the text caret, the text does not have the effect applied to it. The Text Frame has the effect applied to its contents.
  17. Here on Mac OS we have a couple of buttons in the Resource Manager that allow for this. Relink and Replace. This calls up a standard OS file window that we can navigate with to find or replace the files.
  18. How many fonts do you have? Is it hundreds or thousands? Be aware that Affinity cannot use Variable or Colour fonts. To the best of my knowledge fonts stored on the internet (or perhaps even any network) may not work with Affinity. Finally old PostScript type one fonts are a problem as well.
  19. You may be better served using Designer's Export Persona for this. Each Artboard will show up in the Export Persona's Layers Panel and each Layer (your Artboards) can be promoted to a Slice which can be exported. The Artboard's name will be the name of the Slice.
  20. Ask the printers if they will accept a PDF file that is single pages Front, inside Left, inside Right, and Back. AKA as pages 1,2,3, and 4. Export the file as a Print ready Pdf with the output set to All Pages instead of Spreads.
