Confirmed ... it stays as "the hand" A quick test of a couple of other tools suggests it should go back to the blemish tool

yes follow what @carl123 says as currently it cannot make a "break" Also look at you wrap to alignment. You are telling it to wrap to the RIGHT of a graphic that is positioned on the RIGHT in your document/ Get rid of that and use placeholder text until you get what you want

This morning is was on a freshly booted machine with only my mail program running. This time however all 3 updates failed and wiped out my current beta installs Note: I formatted and reinstalled Windows on 8/9 Windows specifications Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 1903 Installed on 8/9/2019 OS build 18362.267 Grunwald Updaite fails.rar

I will do so sir ... it may take a few days to get this started but I shall post back here the completed results Thanks for the reply

Revo is not running unless I invoke it to monitor an install. I did that with the original beta installs but not any new betas after that The others are running but I have turned off all the pain in the butt monitoring that is supposed to keep me safe from myself but only serves to irritate. All but Revo exist in the tray I can turn them off next time but Installs have always gone in flawlessly except for publisher and this time the other betas too That being said, tell me what I can do to help you the most. I can shut all that stuff off and try reinstalling earlier betas followed by the current betas. Let me know pleas

Yes that has always been the case.. It wipes out publisher and after a reboot it does a fresh install. However photo failed this time and when I finally got in my created shortcuts were still working so I have no idea what was up with that Thanks

Now it is super antiSPYware . https://www.superantispyware.com/professional-edition.html Programs attached. I use Wise cleaner 360 to clean up the machine each night with no other maintenance stuff running Here is a list of all installed programs I have to say again, I have never had a problem downloading and installing the betas until Publisher. And only publisher until this last go when they all failed. A reboot fixes the situation but like I said, the machine had been booted, the mail program launched and they failed without anything else being opened One thing that has never made a difference. I clean out temp files when I shut down and again when I start the machine. I have it present a link to a batch file which I can choose to run ... or not as in the case of these failures Thanks for looking into this progs.txt

He asked if I was running the setups from the temp directory. Au contrare ...I run them from a folder that holds my installation files. It happens to be on an E: drive but the programs install to C: like everyone else (presumably)

I download all the files then install them from a folder on my E: drive that holds all affinity programs

No antivirus other than windows defender and super antivirus and they have not presented any problem in the past It wasn't the install files as they worked fine after a reboot Thanks for the reply

Publisher update is still failing. This morning is was on a freshly booted machine with only my mail program running.

AS, AP and PUBLISHER also

I just purchased through customer service. They said it would replace Photoplus but I am not seeing any way to convert or open up my SPP files. Is there a conversion utility or some way to move them into Affinity? I did search the forum before posting Thanks so much for any help -- Rick

It's a trade off. Small file size with linked files and it takes time to open or embed them and it may take a few seconds to open but there it is. You MIGHT try doing a save as and then changing the links to embedded. Then load it and see what you have gained

As reported many times when trying to update the beta it wipes out the current install and reports that the "update failed" After a reboot it INSTALLS correctly (even though I had just started the computer and no other products had been started) I am attaching logs as it is really time to get serious about fixing this issue that only happens with publisher Thanks Publisher Logs.rar

Mine gave the script error too but your file name change fixed it Thanks

Nice catch. Thanks

Confirmed here

Try it. Calibre is free so add a quantity of PDFs with witch you are familiar and batch convert them. Then open them and see if it has done what you expect I have done a lot of converting with Calibre and it looks good to me but I have no idea of what you are looking for or expect it to do PS you can edit in Calibre but all the formatting markups are there in the editor which is great if you know what you are doing. It is not the go-to editing program but you can fix things quickly if the need arises https://calibre-ebook.com/download

There was another post that waxed a bit angry about Publisher not containing all the tools of Photo or Designer. Studio link apparently is more for corrections and some adjusting. The "heavy lifting" is better done within the respective programs first. That being said studio link is quite robust Glad that helped

What about ...

I opened your file then zoomed in and am not getting the white lines that are clearly visible in your screen shot. Then I zoomed in a LOT more and no, they are not there It might be a setting and it might be some corruption which can be fixed with holding control while launching designer if you don't mind losing your customization I would wait until tomorrow and give someone more knowledgeable to answer as the problem is not in your file
