    The release of version 1.10.5.1 with a few typos in the UI fixed. 🐵

    You paid 50 bucks for a software that you can use it as long as you like without any additional cost … yeah, sounds a lot like Adobe …

    Poor Chris!

    Definitely not dead -- this has just been posted on Apples iPad Pro website:

    @Patrick Connor Bit off topic, just wanted to say that I like your new avatar. 🐵

    Is Serif pulling the "Apple thing" here?

    Perfectly valid way of working. In my opinion, there is no right or wrong, just how you prefer setting things up -- whatever works for you. On some projects, I work in a similar fashion, but usually have two or three different ,base' styles, e. g. the main font, headlines and header/footer.

    Have you tried just placing your cursor somewhere and double-clicking the symbol you want in the glyph browser?

    That IS interesting ... When I open the PPT in Keynote, the background image is full-colour, but the person who created the PPT has applied a PowerPoint-filter-thingy and dimmed the image to about 30% of it's original colour -- as the image imports wrongly, I guess, whatever is happening has to do with the background.

    Done, thanks Dan!

    Guys, you are thinking WAY to much about other peoples decisions and are theorising about issues without having any facts at hand ... why don't you let the good people from Serif worry about this and just enjoy having nice software to do your graphic design and related work with?

    Hi, I have discovered a PDF file that crashes Publisher, Designer and Photo (1.10.5) on macOS every time I try to open or import it. The file originates from PowerPoint and contains one background image and a couple text boxes, nothing else. May I have an upload link, please to provide both files (PPTX and PDF) confidentially?

    @AndresHoll How are things going?

    For me it took 48 hours for the discount code to come through (I also had to fill the form twice because something went wrong on page 2). Different question though @Patrick Connor: Would you recommend to keep the disount code until late August just in case ... y'now ... something new pops up in the store, or would you say it won't make a difference?

    They are not available any more.

    Ragtime? 😁

    @lacerto While this is great (I almost want to say ingenious), it feels a bit over-engineered in this case (500 products, appx. 100 pages) -- I almost think it would be better to data merge only once (maybe even just import tagged text?) and later add changes manually. The document and text flow are set up in a way that makes this relatively simple to manage as far as the screenshots can tell. Anyways, lets see what route @AndresHoll wants to go down.

    The screen shot shows that the index contains only "product name Page x" and SEPERATELY "product number Page X", so clients can look up EITHER the name or the number and find the page the product is on. In your case, @Old Bruce, the index won't work, but it would work to create something as shown in @AndresHolls screenshot.

    It looks as if the line height is derermined somehow by the image size -- if you set the lines seperately (as lines, not frame borders) on your master page, they should fit. You also need to find a way to position the images centered in the image frame, but not resize the image frame to the content -- should not be too big a job if you set the image frame properties. Index: Assign an individual text / character style to the products numbers and use "Tanle of Contents" instead of Index. I'm currently out but happy to take a look at the images frames tonight if you upload the open Publisher file of one page of the catalogue (don't worry about including the images, linked with image previews is fine) and see what the exact issue is.

    What you have there looks quite well thought through; Especially pinning the images is a good idea. If I see this correctly, you can simply add new products by hitting enter anywhere and start typing the new products name with the according text style, thus moving everything that follows one frame / page up. When you say that sometimes the image scale changes, are you referring to existing images or to the new product image not being placed in the correct size? The second one can be corrected by setting up one image frame with the correct settings and then saving it as "Asset"; Alternatively you can copy an existing image frame rather than creating a new one and replace the existing picture? There is also a "Data Merge" feature which could help you populating your catalogue from a spreadsheet -- either just the first time, or, in case prodcut data changes regularly, it might even be easier to re-create the catalogue every few weeks rather than chaning it manually -- take a look at this tutorial to get an idea on how it works: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/publisher/desktop/video/494072789/

    No. There are several threads in this forum with similar questions and @Patrick Connor posted that the current silence indicates that they are working on something big -- he also says that he is not allowed to talk about what this is and when we can expect more details. Many here in the forums believe that the programmers are preparing version 2 of all three apps and that Serif might be close to a release (together with Publisher for iPad) "later this summer". But again: No one knows and there is no official info other than that work continues at its usual pace. For more info, just search the forums for "news beta" or "next update".

    In my opinion this one's on you -- in which way and format you hand over your work to the client / customer is usually discussed before starting work. I you agree with the customer to hand over 'original files' (which is unusual anyway), you simply hand over whatever you have, if you specifically agree to send them InDesign files and consciously work with a software you know is not compatible, that is your problem. My suggestion is to tell them that you did not work in InDesign, apologise, send them the Affinity files and throw in a license for Publiaher free of charge so they can open and work with your files. Next time, use InDesign, when the customer insists on getting InDesign files. Many people, by the way, use 'InDesign' as a placeholder for 'design software' (well done, Adobes marketing team!), many non prpfessionals think InDesign is the only software on the market (again, well done Adobe marketing team!), lastly someone might say 'original files' but mean 'InDesign files' because they assume that's what you use -- when talking to a client, always make sure you are talking about the same thing to avoid misunderstandings. No other professional design aoftware exports into a competitors format -- you cannot save a Quark file from InDesign. Reason for this is that the set up of ntive files is not published and considered a trade secret if you will. Also the slightly different feature sets make it impossible to transfer files with 100% accuracy.
