Hi jakamaschi, Thanks for reporting this, we have found a similar problem and have a candidate fix for the next (beta) update.

Hi Marcocampo, Thank you very much for your detailed issue report, and for letting us know that you’ve found the issue resolved in 1.7.3.

Thanks, should be fixed now.

Thanks, should be fixed now.

Hi Seb Mi, We hope to add this drag drop at some stage, but in the meantime you can double click on an Asset to place generally, anywhere, or inside a Picture Frame by clicking in it.

Hi, I have just published a new beta - the focus is on stability and fixes rather than whizz-bang new features. We do have more significant updates in progress, but no dates at the moment I'm afraid.

Status: Beta Purpose: Improvements, Fixes Requirements: Purchased Affinity Publisher Windows Store: Not submitted Download: Download Auto-update: Not Available --- Hi, We are pleased to announce that an updated customer beta of Affinity Publisher (1.7.3.475) is now available as a download from the link above. If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app please note that the beta will install as a separate app alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry. The beta is an incremental update to the 1.7.2 store version. We recommend that you use this beta in preference to your store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below. If you have any problems using this version please make a new topic in this forum and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Please feel free to leave general suggestions and comments in the Discussion Forum. --- StudioLink This beta requires corresponding 1.7.3 Beta versions of Designer and Photo for StudioLink to function. These are not currently available but should be released soon. --- Text Handling Pasting text could replace unselected text under certain circumstances. Text frames wrapping around other text frames only use z-order if both have wrap. Fix for Text on a Path handle snapping / jumping. (Win) Character page dropdowns not working when using select tool. Print and Export (Mac) Fix for crash printing CMYK documents with Embedded RGB documents. (Mac) PDF Export: Allow advanced features checkbox was missing. General Fixed odd behaviour with transform panel adjusting size of sheared objects. (Win) Fix for failures when installed to folder with a non-ANSI path. Plus fixes for stability issues that have been logged with us. Plus Translation and Help updates. --- To be notified about all future Windows beta updates, please follow this notification thread To be notified when this Publisher update comes out of beta and is fully released to all Publisher customers, please follow this thread

Hi jmwellborn, I don’t think anything has changed with the auto-updater. I uploaded the auto-update patches around 4:15 (BST) - I don’t know how that fits in with your timing. A quick test run just after uploading worked as expected for me - I suppose best to just say let us know if you experience problems again.

Hi nwhit, Is there any chance you could share a document with us that is crashing?

Hi Jens Krebs, I see you have offered to share documents with us that demonstrate some of the issues you are having, and as far as I'm aware this has not been followed up. I'll ask someone to liaise with you to retrieve anything you can give us that may be useful. (Apologies in advance if this has already happened and I've missed it).
