[Affinity Publisher (1.7) Launch Announcement]

I would redirect your comment to @curtj.  I have released versions of the entire suite, and also beta versions of the entire suite, and can load each one individually.

@Michael Andreas: Sorry my mistake during writing and tagging!

@curtj: maybe the best solution is to uninstall beta version and install only released version - in your Serif account, You should have a serial number for the released version. I've done this and it works fine!!!

[FontAwesome 4 Bug]

Hi,

Maybe not strictly AP bug (and the problem is in font coding), but if FontAwesome is used in the document, after exporting to pdf - glyphs are changed to different icons. The problem only occurs in Font Awesome 4. In FontAwesome 5 and Ionicon font - exporting without problems, as shown in the photo. Created in AP 1.7.0.162

With best,

[Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.157]

On older machine update ran without problems. No crashing so far when testing.

Column Guides - Fantastic!!!!! update. Looking forward to what's next....

[Resource Manager - Linked objects - Possible bug]

Hi @Chris_K,

Thanks a lot for the clarification and logging "little bugs". Trying to recreate business card, flyers and brochures in AP, and if I find more things, I'll let You - Serif Team - know about it. The program is constantly improved from beta to beta!!!!

All the best for the Team!!!! And waiting for upcoming improvements and final release!!!!!!!

[Resource Manager - Linked objects - Possible bug]

Hello,

AP 1.7.0.145 (Windows)

Am I doing something wrong, or there is a bug with Resource Manager and Linked objects?

Steps:

1. Created project Folder on Desktop - in folder another folder called "Assets" and placed all assets there (AP and AD files only).

2. Created a new document (Image placement policy: prefered linked) and I saved it in "Project folder" - created a layout with linked objects (Status in Resource Manager OK), saved it and close AP

3. Moved Project folder from Desktop to All project folders on another drive.

4. Trying to open AP file and warning (01) came out - chose "Yes" and navigated to proper Assets folder but AP (02) can't see assets (only AP and AD files) - then cancelled

5. Document - Resource Manager - Status: Missing and "Update" function is greyed out (03).

6. Only Replace command works, but for only that one asset.

7. Every time I open AP document that was moved to another folder or drive, I must relink all assets.

Questions:

1. When You move folders with assets, do AP remembers paths for assets - It should automatically, when opening file, locate assets (they are in Project folder-Assets)?

2. When I replace one file - Does AP could link all the proper files in that folder?

 

I've done a very simple example, but if I have longer documents and hundreds of files - after moving a project folder to another location - it would be horrible to relink again all assets.

 

With best wishes!!!!!!!!
