Sorry, but you are incorrect in your assumptions. There are established standards. In the United States rules with the common 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, etc. are used for architecture, printed material and most other purposes. Rules with inch demarcations of 1/10, 1/20, 1/30, etc. are referred to as ‘engineering’ rules and are used in many forms of engineering. These are not ‘old’ or outdated, they are common today and are just used in different professions. Going back to the original Macs and Pagemaker 1.0 and Ventura Publisher 1.0 on the PC (and every major software since) the ‘inch’ rulers have followed and conformed to the traditional common analog ruler representation.

Unfortunately, it appears Affinity doesn’t monitor these posts, so no action will be taken to correct this issue.

You are missing my point. We already know and use decimal equivalents, that is not the issue. The ruler, as it is currently implemented, is not a correct visual implementation. As a graphics program Publisher should adhere to the correct visual representations of the tools offered.

Exactly!

Can you please correct your 'Rulers' when using for inches? Your interface display treats inch rulers like they are metric measurements. Proper 'inch' rulers should show the relative size of the individual 'ticks' depending on the 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 delimiters. Instead you show all the same size except the 1/2 mark. Your 'ticks' are also too small and hard to see, especially on laptop screens.

Thanks Walt, that seems to do it.

Thanks, but I am looking to toggle them off/on as needed—like InDesign and old versions of Quark allowed.

I can't find any information on how to turn Frames view off. I know about Preview mode, but that turns off guides, columns, etc.

Please add me to this request!! Allow option to disable magnifying glass. It may be useful on very small screens, but on larger screens it blocks the view of path while adjusting. Thanks.

Is there a way to turn off the magnifying glass when using the edit node tool? On a 12.9 inch iPad it just gets in the way when trying to edit a path. thanks,

DOn't know if this has been reported but I am seeing text flowing outside the container/frame

I am aware, but thanks for the reply, unfortunately going into System Prefs to turn scrolling off each time you want to run Publisher isn't a productive solution. The other controls in prefs don't change the issue of unintentionally modifying a setting like leading or point size, they just slow it down. The various panels in Publisher already have both up/down arrows and pop-ups for changing things like point size, IMHO we don't need the auto scrolling—better to handle it in the application where it can be left turned off if it is a problem.

Thanks, I will check it out.

For lack of a better term, 'Auto Scrolling' — the feature that lets your finger on the Magic Mouse scroll within tool fields should be turned off when a Magic Mouse is being used. With a scroll wheel or other physical object for scrolling on a windows mouse it works fine, but with the Mac mouse, it is so sensitive it is useless for this and just causes problems when moving over these fields with the pointer by inadvertently changing the selections as the pointer passes over if there is any slight finger movement.

There doesn’t seem to be any way to turn guides and frames on and off, should be addressed. Hopefully with keyboard shortcut. Looked in help but nothing came up.

Started to update from Apple Store but then indicated an error occurred. Designer shows it is being updated in Finder File List (shows progress bar) but nothing going on. Can't launch. Running OS10 Mavericks.
