open JPG -> rotate 2x - > levels. The image gets broken, changing the appearence even during zoomin/zoomout.....
Tryed restart, but its exactly same.
Its only program that have problems...
Deigner runs fine, have few CUDA-intense software that runs fine, games...Win 11 Pro

Aaaah. So. Thank you NathanC. i was assuming that if i saw some non whole numbers around, that its showing correct information. Didnt know about the precision. By the way, what would be fine in my opinion, if you can somehow indicate that the number is rounded. That would help. Because, theoreticaly i can run into similar problem even with more decimal places.

Thank you for your deep-digging into the SVG. If it is problem of Qt, then im sadly sentenced to manually adding the attribute to all svg's i export ...
Now to the tab key - problem is, i DON'T see anything but round numbers, when i open it in affinity designer or publisher designer persona. Look at the attachments...
Im aware of the not whole numbers problem, and im manually rounding the numbers. Same it was in this case.

Have following problem. Each time im trying to export SVG to qt application, the transparency is not presented and the background is solid color.
first thing is, that each file starts with clipping path, that is almost always present due to some precision shift - forexample:
<clipPath id="_clip1"> <rect x="0" y="-0.028" width="59" height="32"/> </clipPath>
There does'nt have to be ANY clip path, as the file contains only rectangle, that starts at 0,0 and ends on 59,32. whole numbers, only filled, without outline.
Second problem is, that this clip path does not have style="fill:none;" attribute, which leads to ignoring the transparency and in certain frameworks filling whole area with full color. (in my case QT 6.3)And finally third problem is, that if i export via file-export only one artboard, often the file contains correct rectangle, sometimes it does not have even the clipPath. When i use the export persona, there is all what i mentioned. Shifted X/Y and clip path.
Both problems are very annoying, the clipping path is problem, because in Affinity i see for example that the curve is exactly touching the side, but in QT representation its chopped. And, i have to manually edit svg file, which is very annoying, when you have lets say 100+ files to export
Just to give complete info
- Affinity Designer for windows 2.5.5
- the artboard is placed at whole numbers XY (e.g. 10,10, not 10.2,10.3)
- the artboard's width/height is aswell whole number.
- the export persona export area is aswell whole number -
Hello, i have a BIG book, like 50+ chapters, a lot of styles and custom font replacement.
I had one font, that was replaced by similar, with different name.Now. I dont want to open each chapter and jump in Font manager by "Locate" and replace one by one occurance.
Is there any intelligent solution like - replace font document-wide ? or ideally book-wide? Please tell me there is and i simply missed it
or i will die by clicking...
Thank you :)

in books, there is export also with preview. Sadly, it does not remember area settings (stupid idiotic setting that is always set to default and all the time i have to change it) and after switching, it takes 20-30s to unfreeze the .... preview.
So yea. After exporting 20 books, yes, this setting is a must have.
This is driving me mad. Very mad. combined with that books are constantly freezing, not updating, not possible to save until next restart of application. -
Constantly having problems with freezing when exporting book to PDF. When i select Area: all chapters - application stopped to respond. I try it again, same. IMO its the generating the preview that fails.
Its problem that its there since version 2 arrived.

i can confirm, that after embedding all instances resetted to page ONE.
Cannot confirm successfull export via standard forprint preset (see the two PDFs, one with embedded, one with linked) -

Hi @grapher,
Could you provide me with your original .afdesign document which fails to stitch together on PDF export? I've added a private dropbox link below.
https://www.dropbox.com/request/IlPZtkk6Oz4pvfmcJk1m
Many thanks!
You have it there. I had to re-do the stitching to have fresh v.2.0 file. Export window looks same as i posted in my original post. Posted aswell the PDF i was stitching.
-
imo this is not same problem - in my case there is problem not only in export, but also in placing PDFs into work.
-
anyone some explanation? or im doing something wrong?
-
usecase: stitching A4-like cuts for my wife on our A1 printer - i take PDF, drop in on the paper, select pages and copy them around and move precisely to match the borders. So far so good.
then i want to export and all breaks. PNG/JPG previews Fine(1.JPG), when i hit export to PDF, transparent bg shows in export preview (2.JPG). When i export, i got same error as in test.pdf. Nomatter if its PDFs are embedded or linked. Plenty of RAM, plenty of disk space.
Cannot publicly add the cut here because of copyrights, but if anyone contacts me from serif, i can send it privately for examination.
Also, some times after export in version 2 the whole view f... up and i see only first pages of the PDF allaround as i never changed it to other pages with no possibility to step back.
(in version 1 no problem. all exports fine and without problems)
To be honest, i think the new export in PDF is somehow broken, i have problems with it all the time, in publisher it crashes often, when im exporting the book, here aswell problems.... -
postmaddesign - sorry, but tables across more pages is basic feature, and we are asking for it since beginning. Also its weird, as serif have very long history with their DTP suite before affinity. Argumenting with many years of indesign also isnt fair, because its different time, with different tools and workframes in programming. and yeaa. tables were in indesign very soon. So no, we are not being negative only, we just wish that the focus in the development is on things that are preventing to do our jobs with this tool.
And again. As i said, i supported the devs with buing v2, becase i believe in their work.Howgh.

Missing compared with what? Af Publisher is already way more powerful than my old InDesign CS1. What functionally (and no I don't mean special feature bla from InDesign) is really missing to create layouts?
for me its multipage tables. indesign CS6 (2013) which is last non-subscription version is capable to do this flawlessly, and its old as hell. Try to do catalogues or scientific documents or even larger manuals without this. Its pain in a** . Im asking for this feature with many professionals since release. So still have to have installed CS6 for some work.
To me personally, version 2 is overhyped, esp. publisher and its more like GUI change, and more like version 1.11 than 2.0. That overmarketinged "something big is comming" only damaged the product. Its not big. its few features that have been asked years, and money request. But on the other side, i have no problem pay them again, even every year, for upgrade. Its not a problem. And as i stated few months maybe years ago, also would pay way more to get fully working professional suite without significant bugs (forexample, on PC, there was no acceleration for AMD high end cards, with information, that its bug in AMD drivers, which was ofc nonsense - as we see version 2 working accelerated without problems, and in meantime, plenty of graphic programms, using same acceleration also without problems).Only thing i was really waiting for ages was designer's warp, even 4 corners skew would do the trick. What suprises me is, that its non destructive and very good designed. Thumbs up.
So yea. A bit salty, but did buy version 2 not because of being big, but to support the devs.

<------- sad monkey... At least designer have now non destructive box warp tool - thats last thing i was waiting for to completely switch.
-
Or im missing something?
-
So years in development, version 2 and STILL no multipage tables? Really?
-
Im calling stupid the fact, that this feature isnt in 2022 DTP publishing software. Thats miles away from calling devs stupid.
-
argumenting with 14 years of deving dos/mcintosh/windows 2.0 app is a bit off, dont you think?
-
i know its "new product" but if you have 30y of dev in DTP publishing software, you have a LOT of experience and code to make new product properly.
This a bit controversal post of mine was just because NNN wrote about indesign 1.0 I just wanted to say, that history in development matters.
If they make now some "next gen DTP publishing software" "made from ground up" - i still think that those 32y of dev will be seen from day one of the release. -

Just an overview of InDesign features since version 1. You can see if they had implemented all the features in v.1 that we use today or it was a long journey:
chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://creativepro.com/downloads/A_Brief_History_of_InDesign.pdf
well its not 1999 and its not that exactly same - Serif had its own program for DTP
was called PagePlus from 1990 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PagePlus oh yea, it was nearly 30y of development. - and it was officialy REPLACED by affinity publisher. So nice PDF but ... well... no. Not exactly a NEW product built from scratch.
-
well Paolo, then you r happy customer. But that doesnt mean that all companies have the same needs - we have many products in portfolio and in marketing materials, and each contain table with parameters... so many tables.
So, if i buy the program for professional use (not hobby project, not project from year 1990, but 2022) then i somehow think that these basic features will be included.

Cmon Paolo, tell me then what it is made for?
Lets ask affinity product page:
"Optimised for the latest tech on Windows and Mac – and chosen by Apple as its Mac App of the Year – Affinity Publisher is the next generation of professional publishing software. From books, magazines and marketing materials, to social media templates, website mock-ups and more, this incredibly smooth, intuitive app gives you the power to combine your images, graphics and text to make beautiful layouts ready for publication."Books. Magazines. Marketing materials, professional publishing. With manually divided tables? is it professional work for you?
