[Colour Chooser - no mouse-over description or mention in the F1Help]

  I miss a mouse-over explanation for the Colour Chooser and find nothing about it using the F1 Help.

[Affinity 2.1 long font loading time]

Just to wrap this discussion, I have now resolved issue.

This was achieved by resetting Fills, Brushes Object styles and Text styles  in the \Settings\Miscellaneous menu

Resetting Fills, Brushes Object styles and Text styles  in the \Settings\Miscellaneous menu did not solve it for me. It seems that the Beta 2.2.01954 has quashed the problem, though. Looking greatly forward to the release of 2.2 🙂

[Affinity keeps crashing]

Crashing when - with a particular file? Created in Affinity Photo or imported? Using a particular feature?

[Affinity Photo - Create an animated gif]

Not a problem!

I can recommend the free on-line tool ezgif at https://ezgif.com/maker

1. Just create your different "frames" in Affinity,

2. Save in one of these formats:

GIF / JPG / PNG / APNG / HEIC / MNG / FLIF / AVIF / WebP or other images, up to 2000 files.
Max file size 6MB each or 100MB in total.

3. Upload multiple files or upload .zip archive with images via https://ezgif.com/maker.

4. Download the resulting animated .gif file..

Works like a charm! 😊

 

[Why can't I get smooth lines?]

And all Affinity apps are 50% off just now... 😉

[Colour picking pain]

That surprised me, too. But it is just different and slightly unexpected. I have learned to live with it. Just one extra mouse click. 🙂

[Export with bleed]

The Preset is already defined as without bleed. Consequently, when you change any setting, you need to choose More and save your own preset that includes bleed.

[1.8.3 broke nicely working 1.8.2!!]

As I suppose the "check for new version" only happens immediately upon opening Publisher, I would disable internet access just while Publisher is launched. Then enable internet access again.

[Affinity Publisher crashes when I am trying to export a file.]

Try opening and exporting from the latest Beta version. I find it to be (much more) stable.

[Unable to paste text style]

Paste Style only pastes the style of objects, not of text. Text uses Text Styles, although I, too, have often wished to be able to copy and paste the style of text...

[Problem to open my folder]

Hi Eym

Are you using any special characters in your folder names? Using a network drive?

[Windows scaling causes UI to hang]

I use 250% screen scaling without problems. Win 10. Screen resolution at 3840x2160. Some other - non-Serif - software is so tiny on screen as to be unusable.

[Affinity Publisher: Edit Detached Not Functioning]

Hi Michail,

No, and certainly not by me...

[Affinity Publisher: Edit Detached Not Functioning]

Hi, SF!,

Also in the latest Beta (1.8.2.603) pictures continue to unexplainedly end up below a master page layer, but at least you can reach them like this:

[Publisher 1.8 has begun crashing when opening some documents - UPDATED]

My issues with crashes (on Windows 10) in 1.8 seem to have been cured by simply copying a Publisher file to another location and double-clicking on it. I have not uninstalled/reinstalled and do not use any third-party font thingies. No major niggles so far. 20-page magazine in A5. StudioLink also works.

[Affinity Publisher Closes without Error when opening afpub file]

I moved a crash causing afpub file to a location where it would't find the links. It opened normally (with dialogue about unfound links which I exited with a 'no' ) and I saved it with a new name.  Copied this new afpub to the original directory and voilà: all cured.

I don't know if this works for all but it's worth a try.

I can confirm adbosch' workaround - These forums are tremendous! 

[Specific File Crashes Publisher 1.8]

I am having the same issue. History activated. First occurrence of crash was when using the Photo Persona and its Blemish Removal Tool. That seems to have corrupted the Publisher file.

The Beta will not open the corrupted file either.

[1.8.0.555 crashes export]

Your file has my Designer .555 crash, too, when exporting to pdf.. But not any other file.

[Publisher crashing when adding index]

No problems encountered in the latest Beta version (1.8.0.556).

[Some text frames do not allow editing via double click]

Great! Thanks, MikeW!

[Some text frames do not allow editing via double click]

Legacy document (latest retail version) which has been worked on in the previous Beta: Strangely, on page 10, a double-click will not allow me to enter the text frame to edit its content. Instead, I have to use the Layers panel.

Other pages/text frames do not behave in a similar way. Document attached.

[Publisher beta 0.556 Text Ruler]

It is noted already in the release notes for this version.

[Find Overflow Text]

Thanks for the explanation, fde101, you really nailed it! That also gave the here-and-now solution which is to reinstall a pin to the errant picture.

A big thanks!

Nils

[Find Overflow Text]

Or - as I have experienced on (too) many occasions: An item (usually a picture or a text box) is wrongly and discreetly sent to the master page without being visible or editable via the master page. It is only visible below a master page in the Pages panel.

The only solution (until the bug is fixed!) is to right-click (on the Pages panel) on the Master page and chosing "Edit detached".

The bug is still present in the latest Beta (...499), at least with documents originating in the retail version.

 

[Shift+ Mouse wheel does not move view sideways]

You are right, Walt - again! Thanks.
