We had a problem where newly created pages / spreads were not automatically adopting the document bleed settings, and of course this affected export. This has been fixed. You should see this fix plus bleed preview on screen in the main view in an update, hopefully later this week.
If you wish, the bleed on export problem can be worked around for the time being by setting the document bleed margins to a different value (so a change is registered) and then back to the desired values.

We’ve fixed the slider / pop up issue and you should see it in an update, hopefully later this week.

Since there is a separate Preferences section named "Filler Text" am I the only one who thinks the logical place for this preference is there, rather than in Preferences > General?

Photo, for instance, will probably not have the preferences for custom filler text but will probably offer ‘Insert Filler Text as Text’, so our choices would be to have the button move, or to duplicate it, neither of which are particularly appealing.

That's good. We will fix it as soon as possible..

I don't think it is actually the bleed on the export that is failing. Rather is is that new spreads are not adopting the document bleed settings. I've just tried changing all 4 of my document bleed settings to different values (so that a change is registered) and then back again and the export works fine on my test document.
Obviously we will fix this as soon as possible, but it looks like it is possible to workaround if you have the patience.

The baseline grid is aligned with the top margin, but extends in both directions. You can see the gap between the top of the spread and the next grid line is less than the grid spacing which would not be the case if it started at / was aligned with the top the spread.

We'd suggest you create your book as a single document. Performance with long documents is vastly improved in Publisher when compared with PagePlus.

This is because Publisher 1.7 content / files cannot be opened in Designer / Photo 1.6. As soon as a 1.7 version of Designer is available file exchange will work fine, and so will native clipboard copy / paste. At the moment Designer is choosing the best format it can understand which is bitmap.

Secondly, Adrian_M mentioned that he is able to use LatexIt to perform drag-and-drop into the Affinity Design document. For some reason, I am having trouble doing the same thing. When I drag-and-drop, say the symbol \omega, into AFD document, it simply becomes an exclamation point (!). I am using a Macbook Pro (10.12.6). I am wondering if there is anything special I have to do to make LatexIt compatible with AFD in this case.
Interesting thread
I imagine this is due to our PDF import not handling fonts embedded in the PDF used for the exchange. If you can install them you will get better results. If you don't know which fonts are being used you could export the file to disk and ty to File > Open it in Designer, which will display the font substitution dialog.

Hi,
Are you using the font list in the Character Page, or the one on the context bar? We identified a problem with the Character Page shortly after the latest build which is causing crashes and this could be confusing the issue. I'm thinking mainly of Point 1 here. The problem will be fixed in the next update by the way.
Also, more in respect to Point 2, do you think there's any chance your crash might be related to a particular font? As I see it there should be no difference between previewing 400 fonts and previewing 4000 fonts unless either we have a specific problem with one of those 4000 fonts, or, and this is possible obviously, we are running out of some resource - memory, handles etc while generating the previews.

Hi Michail,
Unfortunately I am not seeing that problem here. Hopefully someone will be along to work with you to try and find a way to reproduce it.

Hi,
We have found a problem in .42 where the app will crash when creating / opening a document if the Character Page is open.
A Ctrl-run up will reset your Workspace so the Character Page is not showing, so you could try this.
We apologise for the inconvenience but will have this problem sorted out asap.

You need to set 'Defined By Driver' in Print Dialog > Layout and set the paper size via 'Properties...'. We also have a fix for Borderless printing in the pipeline.

Thanks, Alfred. We'll fix it. :)

Thanks :) We'll get it fixed.

...so never the twain shall meet...
Nice work! ;)

Hi Poziomka,
Thanks for letting us know, this was found recently and will be fixed in the next build.
-
Good point...
Pun intended? ;)

Isn't this expected? If you rotate the object 'by hand' you will get a readout of the rotation angle, rounded as appropriate to fit in the UI. Its actual rotation may well be different. Any deviation of its actual rotation from the read out value will accumulate as the object is repeatedly rotated and duplicated.

BLEED BLEED BLEED AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!

That’s a shame, I mentioned it to someone else earlier today and they said it worked out for them. Trimbox is the page / spread size without bleed.
Yes, there should be an update in the next few days.
