I recently purchased Extensis Fusion 8. While I had a conversation with the helpdesk I asked about support for the Affinity line of software. I had some positive response: The helpdesk employee will certainly pass it on to the software engeneers so they can assess if it's possible to integrate font auto activation on a document level. Like the plug-ins for the Adobe suite of software. So, in future it might be that Extensis might have tighter integration for the Affinity line of software. For the time being, there is another option to activate fonts automatically in the Affinity line of software by using : new application set.

I had the same thought. Would be awesome, to do everything in one UI and don't have to swith...

Yes, a DAM tool is in the works.

Since a couple of years tabs are hardly used anymore but most people use tables instead, removing the lines and you're done, often quicker and easier then tabs. But i would welcome such a feature.

I think they are some kind of personas for specialized work or links to the Designer and Photo apps to directly modify an element in Publisher. But then again, I could be wrong. We'll see this summer.

I guess/suspect the same integration as Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign have...

In Indesign there is an option to package everything necesary for the file/publication. If people fail to do so and something is missing, that is NOT the fault of the software. Preflight is there!

you have preflight for that, to check if everything is included for the document. I would certainly think Publisher would have such a tool to test if all elements were there.

Better wait and have a decent tool then publish too soon and everybody is complaining about it's lack of features or stability! There is always something to be desired! You gotta have a starting point and I for one are very pleased with a date...So we can target summer for the beta. Very impressed! Lots of good stuff in the preview. I have some questions though: will it be possible to begin typing anywhere on the canvas or do you need to place a text box/container. Will it support all types of fonts? Like TTF, Opentype and Type 1 fonts? Can you correct errors in a table by dragging them left to right and up and down? So you can put the tables in the correct order?

Adobe has another tool for that called Dreamweaver or if you wish flash pro. But flash is being substituted with fully html 5 applications.

You guys really made my day with this news. Have been waiting for some info on Publisher for quite a while.

This is probably not something Serif can fix as the ctrl-space shortcut is in Windows bound to "Change to a previously selected input" Also some 3rd party software uses ctrl space for shortcut.

All that whining over $40. Try updates from Adobe in the past or other software where updates are way more expensive. For $40 you get a great basic vector program wich will improve in time and I am sure upgrades in future won't cost an arm and a legg either. For that price, Serif can draw in more new users. The more users they get, the more money they can spend on research and development, wich means faster bug fixes and new implementations of features. Congrats gentlemen on launching Windows Affinity designer. Thus far I really like it. I am a new Serif user. I am looking for the trinity(Designer, Photo and Publisher) so I can ditch the Adobe bandwagon. I am not feeling much for being held hostage all my life. I am still using creative suite 6, but as I am more comfortable with the Affinity products I will more and more shift to the Affinity products. I am quite sure as the software will develop even more, we will have all the features Adobe has and more. I am Sorry, but i really can't complain about the €40 cost, cosidered what the competition must have for updates, or even Photoshop plug-ins, costing a multitude of the price for designer. If Serif can draw more people in to buy the Affinity software, it's better for them and better for us as well.

If you have 4000 fonts in your Windows font folder then it will eat up quite a lot of RAM and slow down things considerably. Better use a tool like Extensis Fusion to activate just the fonts that you need during a job. It has also auto-activation of the fonts used in certain Adobe applications. Never a good thing to have so much fonts in the Windows font folder!

Do you use Opentoonz for this or GTS? It seems it's a seperate scan/trace program.

I would love to see an auto trace function like Vector Magic in Affinity Designer. It would be a killer selling point if you get the tracing engine up to that level. I would be happy to pay for it in a version 2.0 of Affinity Designer. The tracing abilities in Illustrator aren't up to notch as well.

Hi, yes there is: go to edit->preferences->General. If you clicked on general you'll find a language selector at the bottom of the screen.
