  1. Well, worth a try... =} Doesn't hurt the good people at Serif if we knock on their door again about this feature, wether they answer or not. (Guess I'm used to roam the Rhino 3D discourse forum, where any member has a direct wire to the developers, and even access to the feature/bugtracking website.)
  2. Dear Affinity team! Can we get an official statement if the IDML (InDesign markup language) file format will ever be supported for export from Publisher? 'Ever' like in the next few years... I assume you are aware why this is important in a mixed team with Adobe products. It's great to be able to import from InDesign, but as of now it's a one way ticked. Not being able to export from Publisher to InDesign means the whole team might be forced to use the Affinity suite, if just one member decides to use Publisher. That often results in the decision to not use Publisher at all. It would be desirable to leave the choice to the user, of course. In my book, the Affinity suite in the meantime is on par or superior to the equivalent Adobe programs (disregarded any cloud AI features etc.), but it's super hard to convince our office superiors to switch. If roundtripping would be possible, the matter would be a very different one. Even if IDML might not be fully feature complete compared to the .indd or .afpub formats, it is feature rich enough to work as a common ground. It surely would for our needs. It has been asked before, I know, but I could not find any definite answer to your company policy in this regard. Thanks a lot!
  3. Hello! Is it possible to have the filepath/name of a placed image be shown as a subscript below the image? Thanks!
  4. Hi! Could you please be a little more vague? Is this feature on your radar? Any plans at all?
  5. +1 for IDML export from Publisher! I would like to introduce the Affinity suite in our architectural office, which uses Adobe traditionally. It super easy to open existing InDesign booklets in Publisher, but it's a one-way-ticket. That is why I could not convince people fully. Even if the format would not guarantee 100% compatibility, it would be a tremendous help. Thanks!
  6. Hello! 'Boolean Divide' indeed works (which was a nice surprise) - but only when the objects are all closed. However, if you use it on something like this... ... it will not work but delete the lines. So either I'm missing something, or there's still need for a smart fill tool.
  7. Affinity also really needs a plugin interface. If it had, someone would have slapped on that stupid DWG/DXF importer (and exporter, too) in no time. It stinks that affinity has this somewhat hermetic attitude towards features. Saying as a user that advertises it since years, and uses it whenever possible.
  8. Hello MEB! Sorry to say, but that's a ridiculous statement! Who else if not you has a 'direct wire' to the developers/management? This is an important feature, and not too hard to implement. It's there already, actually, but the fact that after isolating an object, any click on the canvas will un-isolate it again renders it useless. Take my word for it - I work with Rhino3D each and every day, which has a good implementation of this. Would go crazy if isolate wasn't working. AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Illustrator, ... they all have this. It doesn't make a difference if it's a 2D or 3D application - same principle. The point of an isolate tool is to be able to work on one or a few objects more easily in a complex document. You see, I love to work with the Affinity products, and use them whenever I can in our architectural office, and advertise it to whomever I can, but things like this are nasty spoilers. You have heard complaints like this maybe a 1000 times because this or that hasn't been implemented yet, but this feature is really ripe for fixing at last after years. Sincere thanks!
  9. AP 1.9.0.820 beta APhoto fast exits when using the crop tool. Repro: create a document (can be empty) > Crop Tool > double click in the crop rectangle. Thanks! Edit: I just saw that it also crashes when using 'Resize Canvas' instead. There's something really broken in that release.
  10. Thanks! It's my architecture diploma. Format A3, about 70 pages, multiple kinds of raster images used (PNG, jpg fotos, APhoto files), also vector sources (PDF, ADesigner files). Sometimes many images/graphics per page, sometimes only one. Latest AP beta.
  11. Hello! A quick question without thorough research (sorry for that): I have a Publisher document with lots of linked images. The file size has grown rather big nonetheless (1,5GB as of now). The whole idea of linked resources/images is to make automatic updates possible, and to keep the file size low - which seems not to be the case, really (automatic updates work, however). Where could the huge size come from? Bug? Embedded preview images or something? Thanks!
  12. I'd also opt for a simple way to drag around the bounding box corners freely, like in PShop! And non-destructively, please. Thanks!
