  1. Thanks
    AdamW
    AdamW reacted to Joachim_L in IDML and PSD files   
    Opening IDML with PSD inside has some problems.
    Problem 1: Paths to other files are ok, but PSD files are missing in general. Tested this on network drive and local disk. Having e.g. German Umlaute inside the path gives a resource missing warning for any file type.
    Problem 2: Paths in PSD are not converted correctly. The clipping layer is much smaller than the original. Did I miss a changelog? I thought Photoshop paths would not be recognized by Affinity apps and to use vector masks with PSDs instead.
  2. Thanks

    AdamW reacted to mac_heibu in PSDs not showing in opened IDML files   
    Is it a known issue, that CMYK PSDs, placed in an InDesign document, only show up as a question mark, when this ID document is exported as IDML and opened in Publisher?

    Hi,
    We are pleased to announce that a new Customer Beta of Affinity Publisher (1.8.0.502) is now available as a download from the link above.
    As this is a 'Stability and General Testing' beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. 
    We hope you enjoy the beta, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread. 
    Any problems actually 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. 
    Many thanks for your continued feedback.

    New Features and Major Improvements
    IDML Import
    This build includes an importer for the IDML ((Adobe) InDesign Markup Language) file format. Many entities, attributes and properties are not currently imported. In general if a feature currently has no native support it is unlikely to be imported entirely successfully. In addition to this, please find below a list highlighting features we know are not currently supported fully.
    Document
    - Document User details
    Spread / Page Items
    - Promoted master page items
    - Overprint properties
    - Arrowheads
    - Text on path
    Transparency / FX
    - Directional Feather
    - Gradient Feather
    Text Frames
    - Content transparency / FX for text vs text + frame
    - First baseline offset
    Story Items
    - Text layout can differ due to differences in composition and metric vs optical kerning
    - TOC
    - Index 
    - Page number fields
    - Hyperlinks
    XLSX Import
    This build includes an importer for the XLSX (Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet) file format. Excel files are placed as tables. The following are not currently supported.
    - Formulae are imported as their calculated result value, which Excel stores in the file alongside the formula
    - Local formatting is imported, but global Table Styles currently are not
    - Overflowing cell content is handled differently in that Excel allows content of an overflowing cell to draw on top of adjacent cell if the cells are empty
    Column Rules
    The facility to add (vertical) rules / lines between columns in a multi-column text frame. The rules can be configured via the Text Frame Panel
    Fixes and Smaller Updates
    General
    (Mac) Unified Toolbar tweaks
    'Edit Document' for Linked Documents now works correctly rather than editing the embedded copy
    Layers Panel should now maintain the expand / collapsed status of objects when switching spreads
    Fixed issue for specific document where placed Designer file prevented Save
    Fixed issue where export was causing application hang for specific document
    (Win) Fixed crash dragging fill layer to bottom of layers stack
    (Win) Fixed freeze editing colour from Swatches Panel
    Master Pages
    Changing size of Master Spread now offers option to update size of spreads it is applied to
    Fixed issue whereby duplicating a Master Page Instance could unlink it
    Blendmode / Opacity not working correctly with Master Page Instances
    Adjustments were not working correctly when used with Master Page Instances
    Picture Frames
    Empty Picture Frames weren't showing in Assets Panel thumbnail previews
    Replacing Master Pages containing Picture Frames with promoted context could distort content
    (Mac) Original Size button wasn't functioning for Picture Frame content
    Text
    Paragraph Panel layout fixes
    Fixed crash transposing characters (e.g. <Ctrl>+T on Mac)
    Fixed Drop Cap anomalies
    Leading Override can now be set to Auto in Text Style Editor
    Fixed crash changing capitalization on multiple Text Frames simultaneously
    (Win) Kerning in Base text style is now set to "Auto" 
    (Mac) Custom text style shortcuts were not showing in Text Styles Panel
    (Mac) Spell check not learning words originating from Master Pages
    (Win) Fixed crash adding tab stop in Text Style Editor
    (Mac) Paragraph leading, wrong separator being used with non-uk locale settings
    DocX
    Importing docx with no Text Frame selected fails to import style
    Importing docx fails to apply 'Normal' style

    Hi Petar,
    Is this with all your files or just one / some? Either way it would be great if you could start a new thread and upload a problem file so we can investigate.

    Hi,
    We are pleased to announce that a new Customer Beta of Affinity Publisher (1.8.0.502) is now available as a download from the link above.
    As this is a 'Stability and General Testing' beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. 
    We hope you enjoy the beta, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread. 
    Any problems actually 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. 
    Many thanks for your continued feedback.

    New Features and Major Improvements
    IDML Import
    This build includes an importer for the IDML ((Adobe) InDesign Markup Language) file format. Many entities, attributes and properties are not currently imported. In general if a feature currently has no native support it is unlikely to be imported entirely successfully. In addition to this, please find below a list highlighting features we know are not currently supported fully.

    - Formulae are imported as their calculated result value, which Excel stores in the file alongside the formula
    - Local formatting is imported, but global Table Styles currently are not
    - Overflowing cell content is handled differently in that Excel allows content of an overflowing cell to draw on top of adjacent cell if the cells are empty

    Fixes and Smaller Updates

    Layers Panel should now maintain the expand / collapsed status of objects when switching spreads
    Fixed issue for specific document where placed Designer file prevented Save
    Fixed issue where export was causing application hang for specific document
    (Win) Fixed crash dragging fill layer to bottom of layers stack
    (Win) Fixed freeze editing colour from Swatches Panel
    Master Pages
    Changing size of Master Spread now offers option to update size of spreads it is applied to
    Fixed issue whereby duplicating a Master Page Instance could unlink it

    Hi,
    We are pleased to announce that a new Customer Beta of Affinity Publisher (1.8.0.502) is now available as a download from the link above.
    As this is a 'Stability and General Testing' beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. 
    We hope you enjoy the beta, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread. 
    Any problems actually 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. 
    Many thanks for your continued feedback.

    wow. I tested the idml-import and it works quite nicely! ->>> with linked .ai files...
    edit: WOW!
    edit: well it lasted 15 minutes until it crashed. But to be fair – I opened every single IDML file I had...  But again: WOW!

    Hi,
    We are pleased to announce that a new Customer Beta of Affinity Publisher (1.8.0.502) is now available as a download from the link above.
    As this is a 'Stability and General Testing' beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. 
    We hope you enjoy the beta, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread. 
    Any problems actually 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. 
    Many thanks for your continued feedback.

    New Features and Major Improvements
    IDML Import
    This build includes an importer for the IDML ((Adobe) InDesign Markup Language) file format. Many entities, attributes and properties are not currently imported. In general if a feature currently has no native support it is unlikely to be imported entirely successfully. In addition to this, please find below a list highlighting features we know are not currently supported fully.
    Document
    - Document User details
    Spread / Page Items
    - Promoted master page items
    - Overprint properties
    - Arrowheads
    - Text on path
    Transparency / FX
    - Directional Feather
    - Gradient Feather
    Text Frames
    - Content transparency / FX for text vs text + frame
    - First baseline offset
    Story Items
    - Text layout can differ due to differences in composition and metric vs optical kerning
    - TOC
    - Index 
    - Page number fields
    - Hyperlinks
    XLSX Import
    This build includes an importer for the XLSX (Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet) file format. Excel files are placed as tables. The following are not currently supported.
    - Formulae are imported as their calculated result value, which Excel stores in the file alongside the formula
    - Local formatting is imported, but global Table Styles currently are not
    - Overflowing cell content is handled differently in that Excel allows content of an overflowing cell to draw on top of adjacent cell if the cells are empty
    Column Rules
    The facility to add (vertical) rules / lines between columns in a multi-column text frame. The rules can be configured via the Text Frame Panel
    Fixes and Smaller Updates
    General
    (Mac) Unified Toolbar tweaks
    'Edit Document' for Linked Documents now works correctly rather than editing the embedded copy
    Layers Panel should now maintain the expand / collapsed status of objects when switching spreads
    Fixed issue for specific document where placed Designer file prevented Save
    Fixed issue where export was causing application hang for specific document
    (Win) Fixed crash dragging fill layer to bottom of layers stack
    (Win) Fixed freeze editing colour from Swatches Panel
    Master Pages
    Changing size of Master Spread now offers option to update size of spreads it is applied to
    Fixed issue whereby duplicating a Master Page Instance could unlink it
    Blendmode / Opacity not working correctly with Master Page Instances
    Adjustments were not working correctly when used with Master Page Instances
    Picture Frames
    Empty Picture Frames weren't showing in Assets Panel thumbnail previews
    Replacing Master Pages containing Picture Frames with promoted context could distort content
    (Mac) Original Size button wasn't functioning for Picture Frame content
    Text
    Paragraph Panel layout fixes
    Fixed crash transposing characters (e.g. <Ctrl>+T on Mac)
    Fixed Drop Cap anomalies
    Leading Override can now be set to Auto in Text Style Editor
    Fixed crash changing capitalization on multiple Text Frames simultaneously
    (Win) Kerning in Base text style is now set to "Auto"
