  1. Hi, I'm currently working on a book that has up to three streams of footnotes: - the author's - the original editor's - the new edition editor's This is not all that uncommon in essays. Unfortunately, the world of software is stuck with a single stream of footnotes (I think only Mellel, a wordprocessor and not a page layout program, can do more). Publisher is already doing better than it’s competitors as far as notes are concerned. I ask for one step more, and allow multiple streams of notes of the same type. Paolo
  2. I've used it just yesterday, and worked like a charm. The window where I did the tracing was called Inkscape, and I had to just copy and paste from that to the Affinity Photo window.
  3. I fear the UI is a layer overlapping the OS, made to allow development in multiple operating systems. It's a common practice, but others have done much better in avoiding the original UI to be hidden and weakened so much. An alternative solution could be to end development on Windows, and only continue the one on the Mac and iPad… 😁
  4. The native scribbling app (Notes) in the new Mac OS (Tahoe) will export documents in Markdown format. Markdown is no longer a niche format: it's the standard one (or, at least, one of the standard ones). Very likely, the most commonly used one. Paolo
  5. I got the standalone app, without the ability to be used as a series of plugins from Photo. Well, what I have tried up to now is impressive. Cleaning images, resizing, is really incredible. And I'm not a photographer, for whom there is abundance of wonder. Paolo
  6. That's it, thank you. I forgot this issue, due to the ability of some music production software I use to overcome this limitation. Paolo
  7. The last time someone was bought by Adobe, it didn't end well for their software…
  8. Haven't they already been bought?
  9. May I ask you to fix the typo in the subject? It makes me always have to "decode" it twice…
  10. Hi, I have a few Photoshop plugins installed since forever. They are the old Nick Collection, ON1 Effects 2023, Painter ParticleShop. They have always worked on my Intel Mac, used up to Monterey. Now, it is the first time I try to use them on my M4 Pro Mac under Sequoia. I can see them in the menu. They are correctly located in the Settings (I even removed and added them again). The images I'm trying are in the RGB/8 space. Yet, they can't be run. Select them, and nothing happens. Select an internal filter, and everything works. What went wrong? Paolo
  11. Well, isn't it the reason why we also have non-Preview mode? If you want to see all the indications, you turn Preview mode off. If you want to work on a perfect preview of the page, you turn on Preview mode. Otherwise, why the different modes? I have to insist in my need of a totally distraction-free way of working – when needed. Ah, good hint. Usually, I work in a coherent page design. I hope it is not happening, in Publisher, what happens in InDesign: you create a primary text flow, and it overlaps flown text on a new, disconnected frame… That's fine, when you select them. But when you double click to edit the contained text, for me they are no longer selected. You are working on the text, not on the container. Paolo
  12. On the contrary, I find it extremely distracting. As if someone was constantly screaming at me: stay inside the boundaries!
  13. Alas, it is not really practical. I see there is not a way to choose the color of the guides as a general setting. Changing it for each text frame would not be usable in a real publication. So, the only hope is to have it implemented as a new feature. Paolo
  14. Hi, Sometimes I want to work with the minimum amount of distraction as possible, and switch to Preview mode. Unfortunately, the text frame bounding box is still there while typing. I find it very distracting, since it alters the appearance of the printed page. It not as much 'preview' as it should. I expect Preview mode to actually offer a complete adherence to the final result while working. I would therefore ask for this feature to be implemented. Paolo
  15. Thank you. I prefer to have it hidden in Preview mode, so I’ll use the workaround. But I’ll file a feature request in the other forum. Paolo
