[AD Batch Convert]

Five years later I'm visiting this again. A batch convert would be helpful.

[Function "shake reduction"?]

This is something that would be nice to have as a part of AP. At least the ability to reduce camera shake.

[AF Designer Transform and scale text?]

Found the answer. Use the handle at the lower right.

[AF Designer Transform and scale text?]

Is there a way to transform a group of objects including text and have the text scale too? This appears to only be a problem with text along a path.

[AF Designer Group Objects Grows Text?]

Why does this text grow when I group it with other objects? I have also seen it shrink the text. This makes no sense. Grouping should not change the size of text.

 

[Move object to another layer]

Has this been fixed? I'm trying to do this again. I can't believe how much work it is.

[Export Selection AD?]

This is not fixed in AD 1.7.2

[Export Selection AD?]

That works. I also got it to work by using an artboard.

[Export Selection AD?]

Here is the file.

THEN DO THIS.afdesign

[Export Selection AD?]

How do I export this selection in AD? I want the entire black band with the text. I would think the "Export Selection setting in the export dialog box would be the solution, but it is not. I only get the text exported, and that is with or without background set in the area dropdown.

 

This is what AD exports:

[New Version 1.7 Update]

Same problem here. I bought from the Mac App Store. It shows v 1.7, but I can't update, I can only open and that opens v 1.6.7 which is on my Mac.

[AP Crop Tool Questions]

3. To use the Crop Tool in a macro, you record the steps of choosing the tool, then selecting the mode you want, then moving the crop box to position it for the crop you want, then pressing Apply. The macro will then perform that same crop when you run it.

What I want is to have the macro select the crop tool, then select the preset mode, and then stop. It only saves the macro if I apply the crop. That is not what I want.

No need, you can already do that in the 1.7 beta

 

Sweet!

[AP Crop Tool Questions]

Thanks Walt. I think the functions of rename and reorder should be added. I will post to the wish list.

[AP Crop Tool Questions]

1) How do I sort the Mode list?

2) How do I rename a Mode?

3) How do I make a macro to select a mode?

Thanks.

[Edit Table Format?]

I have to say I absolutely love Affinity Publisher and I'm usually quite good at figuring out user interfaces but for this one I was completely baffled. 

I've thought about this a bit, and I feel it could be made clearer and easier. The triangles are picking certain cells, and cell that are even beyond the cells shown in the editing graphic. Maybe it would be better to select the cells to act on. There has to be a better way!

[Entering the Blur amount does not always get set.]

I will disagree. I don't care if you call it a bug or not, but my opinion is it should work differently than it does. I think that changes in the window should be entered when the window is closed, but they are not. I have to enter a number (and it does not matter if I enter the PX or not as you can see in my screen shot,) press enter, and the press close. If I enter a number and just press close, then nothing changes. If I move the slider and press close, the change is accepted.

 

[Entering the Blur amount does not always get set.]

There's a problem with it. Just entering the number should act the same as moving the slider, and it does not.

[Page Hyperlink Not Showing The Correct Page]

Beta software. Suggestion for improvement. That's why they ralease it as beta.

but it kinda sucks being unable to close the box with the keyboard enter key.

Exactly.

[Page Hyperlink Not Showing The Correct Page]

What you are doing by double clicking is editing the hyperlink. You can now change it to any page or anchor. Use the little icon/symbols at the bottom left to goto the link and anchor.

Even so, editing the hyperlink should show me the current setting for page hyperlinks, and it does not. 

[I wish this button was OK instead of Close]

Ok, you all know what I mean. I don't write OS X code, nor to I watch whether OK is OK or not. Who cares. I want the window to close when I press the enter key. I did say I don't care if it says Close as long as it closes. If fact I don't care if it said "WHO CARES WHAT THIS BUTTON SAYS AS LONG AS WHEN I PRESS THE ENTER KEY THE WINDOW CLOSES."

[I wish this button was OK instead of Close]

If it was OK then I could close the dialog box using the enter key on my keyboard, and that would save time and clicks. Or it could "Close" by using the enter key and that would work for me too.

[Entering the Blur amount does not always get set.]

I have yet to figure out how I enter a numeric blur amount and make it stay set. If I use the slider, then the amount is set, but entering the amount in the numeric field does not always make it set to number entered. I think it should. Look at the second screen shot. It shows 30 entered in the numeric field, but the slider is at 0. That is wrong. Sometimes pressing enter sets the amount, sometimes it does not.

[Page Hyperlink Not Showing The Correct Page]

I think this is a bug? When I double click to the right of a hyperlink's name (in this case Purchased) in the hyperlink panel it brings up the Hyperlink Properties dialog box, good so far. When the hyperlink is a page, then the dialog box always says it's linked to Page 1, and that is not true. I think it should show me the actual target of the Page hyperlink. In this case I have the Page hyperlink set to page 4, yet it shows page 1.
