Scrivener does it really well
I still get error alerts like:
ERROR

These are just details, yet it needs, from my part, a less WYSYWIG approach... and this is a hard thing for me

Thank you, bryanrieger,
Seems quite a good solution for people not having yet Scrivener. But Scrivener is a very complete and precise app, yet at a far cheaper pricing. It only takes some time to be able to use its e-bub export in a way to avoid the error alerts when testing the results.
That said, a Publisher integrated module would still be the very best solution.
Hey, Affinity crew, I'm ready to $ help you if you propose some crow founding to push the job! -

I have used Ultimate eBook Creator for small projects on Amazon. It worked really well.

PC CD only, it seems... with a price that invites me to work further on with trying to master the e-pub exports from Scrivener.

Thanks to Guyon's and Ostonica's interventions.
1. I'll have a try with Amazon's feature, hoping it can handle about 250 pages (including sometimes pictures).
2. And yes to Affinity working on e-pub output. I would even pay an extra fee for it (though Scrivener is supposed to do that... but not that easily)! -
Hello PaulD,
My last works don't seem to suffer yet while keeping Mojave. Maybe it's due that I don't go into deep enough operations to encounter specific troubles... Also, in order to use Publisher next to create illustrations, I need Scrivener and Antidote to place texts under diverse forms. As only Antidote has announced its Catalina compatibility, I'll have to wait to upgrade the OS anyway. Waiting few more weeks probably won't be that terrible.Also, as Sidecar - one of the main arguments for upgrading - seems to need the addiction to iCloud... I'll stick to Astropad in order to draw from iPad to Mac.

Unless you really need to update the OS don't bother. Save yourself a lot of frustration.
Well, it's what I think too... In fact Mojave works quite well enough!
I thought to upgrade only for the Handoff function and stop with Astropad Studio. But as it seems to need to be linked to iCloud - and I hate to dépend on the cloud - it is almost useless to me to go ridding on Catalina. -
Hi everyone,
Maybe I have overseen it, but there have been no anouncement from Serif about an official support by upgrading to Catalina.
What's up? Is it already OK, or is it still recommanded to wait? -
As asked by mail, I follow the alert NOT to upgrade to Catalina till I get green light from Serif, but also from Scrivener and Antidote...
It is urgent to wait, it seems.
Anyway, Mojave is still working quite great. -

You can click "Sigil.app-0.9.18-Mac.txz74.5 MB" and download the app. It uncompresses with double click with standard archive utility tool.
GREAT!
Thank you for caring about a desperate case!
Your help did it: Sigil installed now. -

Shouldn't be any need to register. Just click on the Get link at the top of the page, which will get you a page with info you need to read before going to the Releases page to get the installers. If you're on Mac be sure to read the file that describes the installer format.
Damit! I go on that page... but it is this kind of carry Linux type of bla-bla-bla
Where is the Sigil app/or installer to download on the page?
Clicking on Sigil-0.9.18 won't do it... And what are these other linksSigil-0.9.18.tar.gz.sig566 BytesSigil-0.9.18.zip.sig566 BytesSigil.app-0.9.18-Mac.txz74.5 MBat the bottom ?
Is it impossible to find a nice installer to avoid a "normal" lambda user to get completely crazy? -

Jutoh doesn't support fixed epub and only a tiny subset of epub 3. Instead of Jutoh, Sigil is comparable and completely free for flowing epub ebooks.
Although I understand the technical reasons why the Publisher developers decided to forego html and epub export, the fact remains that without this option Publisher will be unable to compete with the current crop of DTP layout software.
... ...
Huh! Tried to have a download of a ePub creating app on sigil-ebook... instead it was asked a very complicated GitHub registration. I absolutly don't understand what to do with it. Doesn't look like any kind of app I could use... <8O(

I also notice an interesting phenomenon: in usual files, pages get blank when changing Master on pages with text. Instead, on the one I saved-as, the Master change acts like a layer with the correct margins added over the other, and text remains active (not as some PDF or something).

- Open the Layers panel in the old document and copy the layers.
- Paste them onto the Master Page in the new document
Yes, I was afraid someone would give me that answer... Will it be possible, later, to "import" all the Master Pages later, much like we import styles?
-
Hello,
I refreshed a file and renamed it. In the new document, the positions and types of characters remained fine, but the pages frame changed and Master pages have all disappeared.
How can I grab the Master pages of a document in order to use those within another?
-
-
Fine!
I'll try this out.
In Final Cut, there is the color picking, to chose with color scale one wishes to erase. Anthing as direct in Affinity? Or is our advice to make that same operation "easy"? -
Thank you Wosven!*
I must have clicked on these anarchicaly...Any idea why selecting with Brush looks so easy and perfect (even when it comes to hair) on tutos? My results are always terribly bad...
*and Alfred, and HVDB
-
Thanks for having a look.
Here is a screenshot.
Also, couldn't find our how to get these nice masking seen on the tutos... How could it be more accurate (or less gross)?
-
Hello,
I don't understand the error I managed to perform... but now, when needing to erase a part of an image, I get a green (composite) background I can't neither use nor change this into transparent.
I absolutely need the transparence to see the layers beneath any other...
This problem scares me to death! -
As already mentioned, and as editor and book’s creator, a direct ePub export would be dearly appreciated. I'm about editing as ePub 10 of my paper titles. There is a way to get them made directly out of Scrivener... but with a totally (and not necessarily nice) different look.
But, is there any plan to have the feature integrated in Publisher in a near future?
-
Though this happens frequently, I - perhaps - found out why...
It looks like the drop-down menu's Vertical Alignement function is only active when using it when Text Area is selected to point on it.
If this is the right tip, I suggest it could be pointed out more clearly for the user.
Otherwise, the thing will only do as it would be a randomly appearing hazard. -
Hi folks,
This is not a new problem, but I still get puzzles with it:How can I manage to force a last page of a chapter to have a top justification?
All pages are based on Master Pages (mainly with a horizontal and vertical justification). I have created a TOP justification Master, but can't apply it while the text positioning work is already started.
Here is what happens if I try (see picture).
When trying to change the justification type on the used page, the choices are grey.When training to replace the Master, and link the following text, that remaining part of it gets invisible... and even so, justified the wrong way (yet pretending it is top aligned!)
How can I definitely solve this dilemma?
-
High Walt,
Yes: Master can't be swapped on existing documents. The turnaround is to unlink the next page, change Master, then link on the new one. This means to work (for a multiple-page book) taking care of not doing things too much in advance.
Thanks for your help.
Where is the Sigil app/or installer to download on the page? 
Import or open Pages files in Aff Publisher
in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop

As for PDF imports, it's the technic I use to get the books done with the original text bilt in Scrivener.
@Fixx: By default, I try to us .doc or .docx as less as possible (old habits, I guess).
Thanks for your attention all together. 🙏
