Hi @pummelfee & @DM1
I've created both an artistic text object and a regular text frame in a new document within Designer, wrote the word 'test' into the artistic frame, selected the word, copied it (using the Edit menu at the top), then pasted it (again using the edit menu).
At no point was the paste options greyed out for me. Can you please confirm:
What source was the text being pasted from?
Does this happen in any document for you?
Many thanks in advance!
Strange... it was greyed out in the top menu in a document originally created on the Mac. Can‘t reproduce it now. The source was text from an eMail.
The other question was about the formatting. How can i insert text without?
Thank you!! 🙂

Wow, thank you.
BTW, can you tell me how to paste a text without it’s style as „plain” text? -
I want to paste some text from the clipboard into a textbox in Designer. But the paste menu option is greyed out.
Any suggestions?

I mainly work on the Mac, but i would like to go more often with the iPad pro.
When i open a document on iPad in Photo or Designer, most of the time i did not have the fonts installed that are used.
the workflow is:1. click on all strange looking textboxes to see what fonts are missing in each one
2. note these font names
3. add the fonts in the Designer or Photo preferences (have them stored in alphabetic folders on miy iPad)
4. watch the installed font list growing larger and larger because no suitcase or fontxplorer app exists...
5. going back to my Macbook beeing a bit frustrted
How do you manage fonts? Is there a chance that i could reduce these 5 steps a bit?

This must be a bug!! I hate to say it, but Affinity again makes it impossible to earn money. I am working now one hour on a task for that i can just charge 15 minutes.... 🤬

Hi,
i just wanted to join two vector shapes, but it seems not to work. Please see the screenshots...
I am a bit helpless since this is just a simple task and i can’t figure out what’s wrong.
Thank you!! -
Hi!
When i open a file on the iPad that i originally created on my Mac, AD does make wrong font replacements. I have installed only Frutiger Std 67 Bold condensed on the iPad, but the document uses the Frutiger Std Font 55 roman that is only installed there, and this is wrong.
Now i want to search for the font (i have copied the whole FontExplorer Folder in my iCloud Drive). Unfortunally every font has its own folder and when i install a font on the iPad, the window closes and i have to navigate again and again to the specific folder (it does not stay there).
I would appreciate a usable font management or any tipp how to workaround.

Thank you, but not exactly. The Layer that contains the label design is a vector graphic. I placed the pdf with 20 pages and i can select the different pages in Photo. But when i make changes like skewing, Photo converts the layer into pixels...
What you tell me here is the workaround, i was not aware of. Thank you!!
-
Sorry but i am getting insane... so i try to find a solution here.
I have a photo of a product package, and about 20 different labels designed in Publisher. The label design must have a slight perspective change or some "skew".
Is there a way in AP to place the design, give it the skew it needs and then just change the source. Like in Photoshop ("smart objects") some years ago..?Or do i really have to place the label image, then make the perspective changes 20 times?!?
Please help!!!! :-)

I really appreciate Affinity for the software suite, BUT:
WHY IS AFFINITY SO IGNORANT?
This feature is a must-have nowadays for every Laptop user.. Many of us use Laptops and second screens, and plug out the 2nd screen on the go (of course).
Please, affinity team, don't ignore the needs of your customers completely like the big players. This ignorance pushed me from Adobe to Affinity once...Example: we have wonderful technology like Apple Sidecar (or Duet display for older devices), were I can have my MacBook Pro as the workstation/main screen and the iPad as the 2nd screen were I can place all those studio windows. That could be wonderful, if we could save this workspace. I guess one developer would be able to implement this within minutes.
Frankly: Professional work on laptops is not possible, as long as we have to change monitor setups.
I always thought Affinity is innovative...
So PLEASE give us the option to save workspace settings!!

Thank you but am so noob i cannot even get this result...

Can anyone help me how to separate the blue scribble from the dark grey lines? No luck yet....
-
Please, could someone have a look at the screenshot. You see that the space between the lines Auto correction does not work. So i have 8 Pt. font and Affinity makes an auto leading of 5,6 Pt.
-
OK, i missed that. Sorry and thank you!!
-
no matter what i set (German, Auto), i get no hyphenation at all!
please help!!

Hello!
I often work with placed documents, spreaded over several pages. Let’s say i have an illustration from AD placed often, on two (or more) pages.
In the recource manager, each file is packed within one dropdown menu. It makes it impossible to say "replace file xy.pdf on page 2 (and dont touch it on page 1!)
When i open the dropdown menus, the recource manager shows me were my placed files are used, but i can not make selections and then replace them. When i select more than one, the replace button is grayed out.
While the workflow is in some parts way different to InDesign i may have missed something and i appreciate any tipp.
For working with many spreaded placed files i still have to use Indesign...

When i try to make a custom color pallette from a image file, Designer (and so does Photo!) crashes, if i try to make more then 5 colors.
I am on 10.11.6, my system runs flawless so far.

I guess the title makes it clear. I have some photos with flash and there are annoying white reflexions. What is the best way to reduce them?
-
I think nearly every one who works with a MacBook at home and office would need the option to save the workspace.

One last question; is this feature present in the Publisher beta?

Hi pummelfee,
Currently placed files are embedded in the document (not linked) so they have no relation with the original external file. Embedded and linked files are still being worked for Publisher - they aren't yet working as intended (even linked files are being embedded in the document at this point).Will this be implemented in a future release?
-
I can place or drag'n drop affinity designer files in a new affinity designer page. But when i change a linked file and save it, the placed one is still old.
How can this be fixed?
Save a file - location?!?

Where can i set the location to where i save my Designer file? I don`t want to save everything in the „Affinity Designer” folder in iCloud. I have so called „Job”-folders with a folder for each customer and there are folders for each projects. It is no fun to sort everything in the Files App in an extra task...
