Make your Artboards square and use the Margins to define the A5 size inside it. Do your artwork in the margins and then group all the layers. Use the Export Persona to export the Background and the Group (after making said Group a Slice). here is a file for version 2 of Designer. cartoon.afdesign

With a pixel grid Snap to Grid on and Force Pixel Alignment on I can still get to snap in the centre of Pixels instead of only snapping on the borders. Pink is the pixel grid, yellow and green are the "Snapping" indicators.

Use the New File window or the Document Setup window to choose the orientation.

Yes they do. In my opinion it is slow to use but it does deal with over-exposed highlights better than Affinity Photo does. 99% of the time that I use it it simply as a viewer.

I did not noticed this in the beta announcement. I think I like it.

Are you using the Transparency tool on a Shape (rectangle)? Or are you using a Gradient with one or more of the stops set to 0% opacity? And are you wondering why that transparency doesn't carry over to the Pixel layer? In either case the transparency is affecting the fill of the Shape. Here is a screenshot of something that took me about 10 minutes to knock together. I have no idea if it demonstrates what you actually want to achieve. And here is the file. Untitled.afdesign

These statements are not clear to me at all. I have no idea at all what you are trying to achieve.

I use underscores in the text for Italics, and setting Paragraph styles. For _example_ would be searched for using the Regex _(.+?)_ in the Find and \1 + the Character Style Italic. I am not entirely sure about the recipe but this is a crippling (for me) bug with the Find and Replace. If I use Regex to find a string of characters, text which is to be italicized, and replace it with /1 and apply the Character Style Italic (which I made) it may or may not work. To trigger this I will first use the Replace button a few times to make certain that things are working. Then I will hit Replace all. This is where the bug lives. There will be a repeat of the most recent found string of characters instead of the next found string of characters. Sometimes it is just a one time occurence, other times all of the following found strings will be replaced with that now incorrect found term. It also seems to get triggered by successive strings having the same number letters. Mac OS 11.7

On occasion if I have Story selected for the Scope I will have as a result absolutely everything is found. I noticed this when searching for text that is italicized. I used the Regex (.+) for the search string and Format Italic on.

I have no problem using the Perspective tool on a Pixel layer that is rotated. Are you selecting a Pixel layer? Is the lake picture in a container layer of some sort? Are you selecting the entire document/canvas to apply the Perspective tool?

I think part of the problem is that the topmost curve, the diagonal line is not on the corner in the Upper Right. There may be other items out of alignment as well.

@five3141two I guess you could do it this way with Section Names from the Section Manager for the ToC. I prefer to use text in the text. Generally speaking "Chapter One" will actually be in the text and I use a Paragraph Style (say "Chapter Name") for that and choose that Paragraph Style for the ToC. The way you have it set up you could use two Paragraph Styles as I have in the revised document, you'll have to go through and manually apply the Heading 1 for ToC paragraph style to the heading in the Actual Pages.* No real saving of time. The other way you could use your method involves going to the various Actual Pages and Edit Detached the Master Page Chapter and delete the the invisible text frame that has the Section name in it.** In my opinion I think that your method is going to cause no end of headaches. * this example example-ToC Bruce.afpub ** the second example example-ToC Bruce 02.afpub

Are you closing documents which need to be saved? If I have several documents open some of which I have edited and one that I haven't edited then I will get the single option to save/don't save for the unedited document (with no checkbox) and the Apply to all check box for the ones I have edited.

There are some number fields which accept values if you use the scroll wheel whilst the mouse cursor is hovering over the field. Some will allow adjustments if you click and drag on the area to the left of them.

If you have Photo then you could try it and see what happens. In my experience doubling a Linked raw file layer doesn't increase the file size that much.

I think you need to have at least one Frame Text Text Frame in the mix for that extraneous resize handle to show up. With Frame Text Text Frame: Without Frame Text Text Frame:

Weirdly the offset varies according to the font size as set by Click + Drag vertically for size.

Oh dear lord, not this IT Crowd.

Is it a particular page or any page in this document? What sort of Master Page(s), if any, do you have applied to the Actual Page you are trying to type on? You can upload it here.

You could have changed the colour for the text to be clear or to have zero opacity. You may have a text size that is minuscule or gigantic. I am assuming you are clicking somewhere in the green area. Take a look at the Character Panel to see what font and colour and size you have selected.

I think the problem is caused by applying Two Master Pages instead of One. Problem with two Master Pages applied. No problem with One Master Page applied. While my version of the beta (2.2.0.1903) doesn't show the problem the retail release (2.1.1) does show the problem so there is some weird bug happening that the beta has (potentially) fixed. For the record this is on Mac OS 11.7.9

It is just a quick proof of concept pastiche. first three chaps.afpub

When clearing the Find Field the previously found items are still shown. The previous found items can be changed by hitting the Replace or Replace All buttons. Not something I want. Please make the previously found items gracefully fade away when the Find Field is cleared. Note how the Year, the numbers have disappeared. After hitting the replace/replace all button I get the unwanted replacement for the long gone date (previously replaced with nothing after the Find field was cleared). This is present in the latest beta as well.

Use one instance of a Running header for the Book Name. A second for the Chapter & Verse first on page and if needed a third for the Chapter and Verse last on page. I think I agree with your desire for actual variables in the custom variables, but I am at a bit of a loss with coming up with a concrete example of something I would use. I shall ponder it for a while.

Try this one. I cleared out the masters and now there are just two. In my opinion naming everything (using consistent names) on Master Pages is a very necessary thing. Olympischer bruce 02.afpub
