    OK, but default shoud be, automatic update, because is the common for 90% of work, your version is less relailable

    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. 

  2. 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. 

  3. 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.

    Yes, this definitely changed although I can't say when. The screenshot of the dialog in my Publisher manual has traffic light buttons in the upper-left corner and they are no longer present.

    The 2.3 update included the following bug fix so maybe it changed then? If that wasn't it then I don't know when it happened.

     

    • Insert Hyperlink Dialog can be resized and hides Character Style dropdown 

    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! 😉

  5. 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!). 

  6. Not sure if I was clear. I lost all preferences, settings, assets, font groups, Studio layouts, etc. Everything in the beta APub is back to a fresh install. 

    I tried restoring the Application Support for APUb beta and the pref file, but obviously there are other settings and preferences stored somewhere because restoring the above mentioned didn't make any changes at all. 

  7. Just updated to the new APub 2.4.2 beta a few minutes ago and it crashed on quit. Sadly, when reopening ot lost everything - no fonts, no assets, all Studio layouts gone, all prefs gone. 

    I have Time Machine backups and I tried restoring what I could remember, but still nothing. Could someone itemize the files that need to be restored to get me back to 2.4? I don't want to have to start from scratch and rebuild everything, just don't have the time.

  8. Has happened several times in the latest beta 1903. Have a PNG with an FX on a page (only item in doc), then click the Replace Image button, select a new PNG and CTD when I click on the new PNG. Has happened multiple times. Document, linked image and Crash Report attached.

    Related? From release notes from todays beta:

    IMPORTANT KNOWN ISSUE in 2.2.0.1903: Sorry, but Documents created in previous 2.2.0.1881 betas will crash Windows Photo Persona, but will load into the next 2.2.0 beta to be released soon

    I saw that and wondered the same thing, although it refers to Windows and I'm Mac. But nonetheless, it is hopeful a fix is coming!
