I have saved, closed a document and quit the application only to see the recovery file available dialog on starting up again later. This happens often enough to be noticeable but no where near every time.

Ahhh, missed opportunity. You should have further mis-spelled it, maybe "acuresy", I would've, and I would not have noticed my compounded mistake.

The video you linked to doesn't seem to show the double clicking and editing. I could only get the image from Affinity Photo to open in a new window to edit, and it was saved as an .afphoto document not a .tif/.tiff. I was also using the Affinity Photo application as opposed to either of the others.

You can do this in the Export Persona.

Took me a year to figure that one out. Granted I didn't actually think about it too hard but still, A YEAR!

Until Affinity gets the Master Pages working properly regarding text frames not copying and applying onto every page what we put in them then yes it is a pain. Death by a thousand cuts.

Make a master page and apply it to the pages instead of duplicating them.

I really don't like automatic but I do see the value of your desire for it, how about we split the baby and have an auto rename button or check-box for you folks who want it and I get to name things after projects or people's favourite colour and have it stick forever. Check-box would be best I think, set it and forget it.

I think you would need to use single page layout not facing page layout and then change the size of the pages and use guides instead of margins etc.

I can never remember if Ubuntu sauce is made with or without penguin eggs.

CMYK = CMJN? Curious anglophone here.

You are seeing what you want to see, you need to accept that it isn't going to happen. ____________________________________________________ Those are three statements. _____________________________________________________ "Affinity team say it's not likely" Full Stop. It isn't going to happen. I do enjoy these little discussions only because I have an odd sense of humour. edited to fix grammar.

I understand your (well founded) concerns about your niece & mother, perhaps you can find a similar image with 'things' instead of people which gives you the same problem to upload.

Me too.

What happens to the image I already have on the page that I do not want to get wrapped into the frame? This would cause a tonne of problems.

It may well be I can see that there are more colours below what is visible. Also you may have a 'different' colour because of blending or effects etc.

I realize that this work flow may not work for you but here goes. I made a couple of documents in Affinity Designer "A doc" & "B doc" I made a document in Affinity Publisher and put in a picture frame of the desired size. I exported A doc as a PDF and named it replace.pdf then I placed it (set to Linked Preferred) into the Publisher document's picture frame. I moved and rotated the picture frame and saved the document. I then used Designer to export B doc as a PDF and used the same name so as to overwrite the current PDF. Switching back to Publisher I had a notice that the placed pdf had been changed so I updated it and the sizing and rotation were honoured. I guess you would have to have a set of generic names like "plan 1" etc and keep track of them, it is up to you as to whether this method (overwriting the PDF) would be possible. Edit; Nothing crashed but the memory was used up by Spindump and slowed the whole machine down. This might be due to something else but I thought I should mention it. This was a very simple PDF, so test on something small.

I get a blue highlight on what I select, I grant you it is subdued when the Artboard and or layer is collapsed but it is obvious because of the blue not grey.

My screen is quite small so I am not entirely certain what you were doing but I notice you are on Windows and I am on Mac. That said I must ask: Why did you use commas and not just use spaces to apply to many pages? "1-4 6 9 11-23" Try again with no commas (or periods or whatever) just spaces and dashes.

That is a very polite term compared to my term which I will omit.

Pretty much a deal breaker for me, I could maybe justify buying it if that was the only thing but the lack of anchored images in text flow as well just puts it out there on the watch and wait list. I too am amazed at the fact that Master Pages were not working 'properly' from the very first. I do believe there will be a lot of very upset customers if that is not in the first commercial release.

This is how I would expect the spacing of the Baseline to behave regarding the spread placement, it is continuous from the top of the spread. The Text Frame though is wrong on the second page. it only works if the grid spacing is an integer divisor of the page height. Really weird little bug. A work around is to use the baseline option in the Text Frame, I use it all the time an prefer it for some work. Just align it with the page's baseline grid and you are good to go.

I understood the implication but the asked for functionality would be horrible. I frequently have dozens to hundreds of linked text frames, will the shortcut apply to all the text over all the pages? All the different Paragraph Styles could be over-ridden resulting in a mess. How is selecting the text with the Text Tool so arduous? What are we looking at an additional one or two clicks with the mouse, three at the most.

We all do, and yet here I am adding my post to this essentially pointless thread.

Just use spaces " " and a dash "-" for a run of pages. so either "3 4 13 14" or "3-4 13-14"
