That might be the case but we didn't have any issues until the update so my logical conclusion would be to go back to the last one, if not, we'll try the previous one. There wasn't much time between .6 and .7 and that means you could very well be right. I'm just not sure what to make of these errors or is something else changed but we didnt' upgrade to 15.2 yet

How do I go back to the previous update? I only see the newest in my purchases or the beta.

I think there might be a regression happening. In the last update we had better support for networking and cloud storage and seemed to work well. Since yesterday we are getting errors saving and files are damaged or say "not correct file type" when attempting to open. So far these are all in AFPUB files on the Mac OS 15.1.1. Here is one of the errors:

If you want to join the beta, I think it's open to do so. I could be wrong, but I get invitations along with their other emails.

It comes down to one thing: Money. Do the sales outweigh the development cost? If not, it's a no go in any business. Linux is fine, and I have it on a VM, but we all know that half the people on linux are there because they don't like to pay, which makes it even harder to justify, even if you had enough people who wanted the program. Designers, for the most part, are not building computers and putting Linux on.

I'm looking to have Affinity fill out my tax forms like always used Indesign to do, but I can't seem to figure it out. I use a spreadsheet with my payroll withholding data and then indesign would spit out my 941 to mail in. I use data merge regularlly and it works fine for mail batches, but for this application I can't wrap my head around this. I only need one cell from the XLSX go in one text box Publisher. Then I'll need another cell go into another text box, but on the same page. In indesign it was just a link of the XLSX file that would get updated, and it would update all my info on the page from the spreadsheet. What am I missing?

I wish I could answer that. I don't know the rhyme or reason for when it chooses to output vector or raster from an imported PDF to an exported PDF

The new MacOS Sequoia introduced the AI tools in the OS. I was watching a YT video that showed being able to access the writing tools by right-clicking on selected text even in applications that don't have the icon. Is there a way to access the standard system right click menu to have access to some of those new features in Affinity or is the new 2.6x in order before this can happen?

The "remove all guides" button is in the guides dialog box. I didn't know if that could be assigned to a keyboard shortcut that I'm accidentally pushing. I go on to say they are then deleted - meaning they are no longer in the guides dialog box either. I will be working on the file and then all but one will just disappear from the dialog box (and the page). That is correct. I turn on and off guides being displayed all the time, even have my keyboard shortcuts set for that like I did in Indesign. Correct again. These aren't just disappearing one by one, but rather all but one are gone. I'm trying to pick up the pattern but I only have had it happen in one file. I questioned that too but when they disappeared out of the dialog box, it convinced me that maybe I had a keyboard shortcut tied to it, but that doesn't explain why one will stay.

there is only one artboard in this file. Not sure what's going on. Is it possible that a keyboard shortcut could be set up for the remove guides button, that I might be accidentally clicking?

I keep putting guides on my artboard in Designer (2.5.3) on Mac and they just keep disappearing. They will show in the guides manager and I'll have a few. Then adding more, others will just disappear and it's not that they are turned off in the view option. Is there a problem with this version? I've never had this happen before.

I'm not sure what is going on as my prefernces do not show the delete key as being the shortcut but the menu does.

I'm using Designer on Mac 2.5.0 and the Delete button to the left of "end" is acting funny. It's function changes depending how long I've been in Designer. It's not consistent and I"m not sure how to pinpoint what exactly is going on. If I shutdown designer and restart. It works as it should - deleting characters to the right of the cursor. after a while it will change to something else. Right now it's pasting my previously selected style. Next time it might be doing something different.

Ok. Thanks for pointing the obvious. That makes sense.

I done newspapers for years and we export ads as PDF and then import them into a page layout. When we switched from ID to AP we get this message in preflight on every PDF placed. I've tried pretty much everything to change (I don't want them interpreted). What is the appropriate export setting to get them to place and export correctly in the output file. I usually just ignore this because it doesn't seem to make any difference, but if I can make it right, I will. thanks!

Ah yes. That does appear to be correct.

Ok. I see what you are saying and you are right that does work. It just seems strange that when I click clear and command V that "v" would go in. If I have to click in to get the URL to paste, why does the "v" paste if I haven't clicked in? Maybe more of a UI issue?

I've tried both ways - to paste with it in and also to clear. when I left click and choose paste without clearing first - nothing happens, not even a menu. I have to clear first, then right click, then paste.

I press clear first then command+v and only a "v" pastes If I don't click clear and I just press command V when the dialog opens it changes from https://affinity.serif.com to https:// but still won't paste I changed the keyboard shortcut to from command+shift+v and then to command+v and it still just does "v"

maybe reset preferences and see if that might fix problems? Backup your shortcuts first.

Hello Serif, I love the new features in 2.5, BUT I would love even more if this regression were fixed. We are now at nearly a year of this being logged. Is there any update on getting this back into Designer like we had previously?

I tried with an iphone 11 and iPad Pro 2nd gen and it worked well.

I'm on the Mac and trying to paste the URL with command+V only puts in "v" However, i can rightclick in the space and choose paste after clicking clear button.

How did you make these?

What problems are you experiencing? I use Affinity and the problems with CMYK colors was fixed in a later version of 1.x. We are a print and vinyl shop and don't seem to have any more problems with Affinity (there are always certain files depending on the designer) than we have with Adobe.
