Do we have to CTRL+startup to return to these defaults? In my APub F10 still is set to Preview. d.

Hello @Grayhem, as long as PagePlus8 is working you are on the save side because you can access your 'old' files with full editability. For long term support you could think of using a virtual machine (= virtual computer) that hosts e.g. Windows 10 and has PagePlus8 on it. Then you could migrate this virtual machine to new computers that you will buy in the future. This could work until you can fully switch to Affinity Publisher. d.

Actually, a little while ago I did a thesis that had some quite long titles. From a test with this particular text I came to the conclusion that such a long project (300+ pages) could be done in APub to about 80 to 90%. The TOC was quite good. What is missing is ankered objects and footnotes (as we all know ). d.

This makes sense. Thank you. I didn't think of longer entries reaching over more than two lines. Then this be part of further refinement of the paragraph styling options in the future. d.

I looked around in the paragraph formating options and could not find a solution to this. Would a value called 'First Line Right Indent' be the right aproach? d.

Never mind. I just thought to connect you to the information that is already available on here. It is actually quite informative. Cheers, d.

Hello @UtopianFlat, I am not quite sure but I think ArtBoards are doing exactly this. You can have (as far as I know) unlimited ArtBoards and you can export these to multiple file sizes at once. d.

Hi @soapandhoney, this is an interesting idea. It's not possible at the moment. What we have is the recent files list. But this - obviously - only gives you access to a set of files you have recently worked on. And you have to open each one seperately Cheers, d.

Hello @michacassola, are you aware that there are already several threads on a future asset manager or also called DAM (digital asset manager)? See this poll and a lot to read on this topic in this thread You even will be delighted to read this post by a Serif employee. Cheers! d.

Not completely true There is an Arrow Tool and it draws 'a straight line with an arrowhead on the end' as the OP is asking. You are right in saying that it is not possible to add an arrowhead to a regular line. I concur with your remark in brackets d.

Did anyone of you have the thought that a creative person (like many of you yourself) most likely worked long and hard to come up with a design that has to serve many different tasks? Some of the tasks we perhaps even don't know (yet). As good as I know Serif (which is most likely not very good but good enough to assume the following) they have thought about the design of the icons and they have a reason for the change. Of course it is possible to discuss the appearance of the new icons, especially in an open forum like this. But I am a little bewildered that some forumsters seem to forget that any design will never serve everybody's taste or preference. I myself want to express my appreciation to the effort from the people at Serif to present different aspects of good or interesting design and styles. E.g. at affinityspotlight.com. Cheers to all d.

Good to hear that the 'F' key is working for you. To leave the Text Tool you can press ESC. This activates the text frame. Then you press the key of the tool you need next. d.

... the Export Persona. d.

This is true and I need this only occasionally. More often I create them at the same size beforehand. Or copy them. It depends on the task. I can imagine an enhancement of the alignment panel to size elements the same height and/or width (with or without repositioning them). d.

We can use snapping to do this. Admittedly we probapely have to move one of the objects into position and move it to it's original position afterwards. In the few occations I need this this works for me d.

This, indeed, is true. I think the concept is to toggle between tools with single key strokes. I assume the team at Serif have thought about that thoroughly To look at it in a practical manner: from reading through the forum I dare to say there are users relying on their mouse (and asking for an undo icon) and there are users who use keyboard shortcuts. And there are people inbetween, too I guess those who rely on keyboard shortcuts know a little bit more what they are doing. Those 'inbetween' may get confuse at times. The goal should be to serve both groups with a good set of keyboard shortcuts that make sense. Looking it in that way this topic seems to be interesting to fine tune the logics of keyboard shortcuts. d.

This certainly looks like you were grouping with master pages. I assume you made the selection for the group from the layers panel? Please, try a different approach. Select everything on the left hand side on the page itself (e.g. by mouse and rubberband around all of its content). This won't include objects from the master page. I hope this helps. d.

Hi @Chrisw5, at least there is a logic to it. 'T' switches back to the text tool you've been using last. Pressing 'T' a second time switches to the other text tool. The easiest way to to access the tool of your choice directly is to give the artistic text tool a different keyboard shortcut (Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools). That way you switch 100% of the time with 'T' to frame text. Another thougth: assign 'F' to frame text. The F is not used at the moment and you can easily memorize it d.

Hi @derlange 58, column span is currently not available. The only work around I know is to create the headline as a seperate artistic text and assign it Text Wrap 'Jump'. This is a poor workaround because the headline does not flow with the text. d.

I assume waiting in front of a 'rainbow wheel in OS X' d.

Just as an example what might happen to you during the beta process: d

Hello @sommersethdesign, I would not use APub for anything that requires the ability to open documents at a later stage. Especially if you have to confirm this to customers this is a high risk. It was clearly stated several times by Serif staff that they do not guarantee file compatibility during the beta period. Cheers, d.

Did you by any chance accidentially hide the guides? You can check in the menu if 'Show guides' is on or not. d.

First off: I searched the forum but did not find anything. There is a chance I missed posts on this topic before. I made a design (in AD) consisting of several vector objects. I selected all of them (without grouping them) and clicked on 'Create' in the Symbols Studio. It turned out that this created a symbol for each single vector object that is part of the design (nine of them). That was not what I had intended. To delete all these symbols I tried to SHIFT+click on each of them. This is not possible in the Symbols Studio. I had to select each of these items individually, right mouse click and select 'Delete'. I assume, this qualifies for a suggestion: please allow to select multiple symbols in Symbol Studio. BTW: to create a symbol from the design I had to group all the vector shapes. This works well. Thank you d.

Hi @adirusf, your video is helpful, thankyou. In my first attempt I was trying this with frame text. In the video I saw you are using multiple instances of artistic text. Now I can replicate what you show in the video. APub just freezes after I hit 'Replace all'. Let's see what the moderators or developers are saying ... on monday Cheers! d.
