Hi @Dantroy. @Discover Hawkand everyone else in this thread.
I've finally been able to replicate this issue and from checking, it was already logged with us as a bug.  You'll see this thread now has a bug tag and the thread will get a reply from the Affinity Info Bot when this has been resolved  

Ah, I couldn't see the layer this Effect created. Thanks!

Hi @Lich555,
Once you've applied the High Pass Live Filter, you can apply the Overlay blend mode directly to the High Pass Live Filter in the Layers panel (see attached screenshot).  Just select it in the Layers panel and set the blend mode to Overlay.

First, for issues in the Beta you need to post in the Beta section of the forums, not the general Bugs section. A Moderator can move this for you, but it helps everyone if you remember to post in the correct place originally.
Next, you do not seem to have any items in the Resource Manager selected. If you select the item that has the Missing status, does the Replace button become available?
I think this is probably what @stokerg was referring to:
 

Hi @Powerhorse,
Can you upload the file to our Dropbox here and i'll see if i can recover it with the tools available to me?
@Ron P.We've seen it reported by Users before who haven't purchased V1 and still get the warning about opening a V1 file when a file is corrupt.  If i remember correctly, i its an issue with the header/footer of the file that triggers that error.  But it is possible to get that error, even tho a file has never been saved in V2,

I have uploaded the files. I don't need them back, but they might help identify the error.

Hi @amoraleite,
I can't replicate this.  I filled a rectangle with C:36 M:80 Y:0 K:0, duplicated it and moved into a different place on the canvas and rasterised it and exported to PDF and when i check this in Acrobat using the Output Preview and using the colour picker, the values are still the same for both shapes and look the same on screen.  
Can you attach a sample afdesign file or let me know which colour you filled the shape with and i can try this again. 
 

Hi @Peter Malver,
You'd have to change the Spread to portrait or Landscape.  If you right click on the page in the Pages panel and select 'Spread Properties', you can change this here to portrait or landscape as needed.  You'd have to do this for each page, theres no automatic way to do this for all pages at once, that i'm aware of.
 
There isn't, its due to rotating the view.  By rotating the view, you aren't actually changing the orientation of the page but just the view on screen.  If you were to export to PDF, the page would export without the rotation applied.

🤦‍♂️ <-- Me right now! Thanks @thomaso for the correction 
@Peter Malver If you click File>Document Setup, you'll get the window shown in the screenshot from Thomaso.  From here you can change the orientation for all spreads at once  

Don't you have the choice to apply a change to the current | all | or selected spreads?

Hi @Maxdanger,
I also wasn't able to replicate this.  However from speaking to our QA Team, @Sean Pwas able to replicate it and found its caused by a setting 'Prefer to keep selection after delete'.  So if you open Affinity and click on the Affinity Publisher menu in the top left corner and select Settings and on the General section untick 'Prefer to keep selection after delete' and you'll no longer get a crash when trying the same workflow.  It still won't delete the page but at least it won't crash.  I'll get this logged.
Thanks Mike.  I'll get this logged on its own and link it to the report i'm about to make for the crash issue @Maxdangeris getting.

Hi @DarkClown,
Thanks for reporting this.
I couldn't find a bug report for this, so i've just logged it with the Developers  

Hi @Davesink,
I've logged this separately with the Developers, altho as @NotMyFaultthis is likely covered under one of the other reports we have but i'd rather be sure and make sure this isn't missed.
This thread will get a reply from the Affinity Info Bot when this has been resolved.

Thank you, stokerg!

I wanted to try illustrating a pottery jar with cork lid, which we use to store garlic cloves. It seemed like a complicated and difficult design with a lot of nuances (it was) and I figured I would have to try out a few new techniques. I thought it came out looking fairly realistic and convincing. Hope you like it. 
 
 
 

Hi @Dybkjær,
Thanks for the file.
I've replicated the issue and have logged it with the Developers  

Thank you, reinstalling the font didn't make a difference, but exporting with text-to-curves did. 

Welcome to the Affinity forums, @Sybren.
This section of the forums is for reporting new problems in the Affinity betas, not for making general feature requests. Your topic would be better posted in the Feedback & Suggestions part of the forums. You can read the Guidelines for posting them there, and then post in the child forum Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products.

Focus Merge is intended to produce an image with greater depth of field, by combining several images that are sharp at different focal distances.
Basically you have one image that is fairly sharp and four images that not sharp at all, so they are not really suitable for Focus Merge. Focus Merge can't do much with source images that have no in-focus areas; it isn't actually a sharpening tool as such.
It might help to have a look at the Help on Focus Merge: https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/FocusMerging/focusmerging.html&title=Focus merging images

Hi @Carl bach,
I'll be locking this thread as we already have a number of threads requesting Linux support.  Please see here for one of the main threads on this topic.
