Having done this kind of work for decades, I don't agree at all with that. As pointed out, most graphics people use large libraries of inserted materials/content placed into a wide range of final publications, and they do NOT want things "messed up" in every document that contains changed/updated graphics/content.

I've been very pleased with Typeface also.

Aha! Just saw that now, Walt! Old age and going blind I guess! 😆

What are the sizes of the downloaded files? And is it possible to have them located/installed on a different drive?

Sure wish this OLD simple but critical item (regression) would get fixed (restored back to functioning). Simply have a hard time understanding how so many betas have come out since this was reported back in April, yet no fix. Disappointing.

I have no expertise in QR codes, but have clients who can use them from time to time. The ones we have "outsourced" have all had the client's logo embedded into the center. While a post in this thread suggested just dropping a logo somewhere on top of a code generated with these apps, I would like to vote for a mechanism to place a logo there that is compliant with whatever rules need to be followed (obviously, not blocking key parts of the code!). Really would be preferable to having to learn a bunch of QR rules when we only do these on a limited basis. If it were easier to accomplish (a benefit of this new feature), we certainly could be doing more.

Sure hoping this gets addressed. Did a project for a client today that involved numerous links and it was a true PITA. With the panel's current issue, links looked like they got corrupted when trying to edit them, and not being able to see the entire link, no way to be sure. Ended up having to repaste most of the links just to be sure they were correct.

I've also seen this. Just checked the APub-beta autosave folder and, indeed, it does have a file in it! And I know for certain that I closed a test doc without saving before quitting last time. In hindsight, it has does the same with that test doc more than once. I have kept closing it without saving before quitting, but it still asks to open recovery at next start.

This got broken in one of the last few iterations. Still broken in 2.5b2402. Cannot resize the Hyperlink Properties pane/dialogue window. Makes it EXTREMELY difficult to enter, read and modify typical long/complex links.

Yeah, I well remember when the resizing was added to the betas, then it had a few bugs to be worked out. But it seems in 2.4 somewhere the resize has disappeared! 😱 [Walt, didn't want to post in the general open forum since it seems to get far too many non-relevant answers. The beta group has always been much better for troubleshooting! 😉)

Been tied up with other business so have not been staying super close on the newest changes. But using the last 2.4.2 beta and release, I can no longer stretch the hyperlinks window in order to actually see and edit the url. Same in the beta and the release. Is this a known regression? Makes it very difficult to add/use hyperlinks. (macOS)

In digging into APub a bit further, looks like things are actually there, with the HUGE exception of the Studio layouts. When APub was open, it didn't have an open doc, a condition I rarely ever see, thus nothing shows up for fonts, styles, assets, etc. Now I need to decide if it's safer to just spend a hour or so resetting up my various Studio layouts or daring to try the Copy from Release option. I don't want to mess up the working other apps, but really hate thinking about having to redo all the Studio layouts again. Any guesses on which is the better option? Ever since they introduced the Studio layouts, it just never made any sense that these templates aren't stored and easily recoverable. As many of us know, getting the layouts just right takes time (and a very good memory!).

Just really wish that restoring from a backup wasn't such a royal PITA!

Thanks, Walt. Found that, but it does make me nervous when it seems to say that it's going to mess with all the beta apps. The others are working fine and set up the way I want. Can you remember if clicking this will actually overwrite ALL the beta apps settings?

I did click the Reset Content Migration Prompt box, but never got that option.
