🇬🇧 Here is a rework of the Asset, with new icons and the most basic Live Filter integration possible.
Unfortunately, I still had to create subgroups in order to guarantee the largest possible thumbnail (the rendering of Affinity Designer on these thumbnails was difficult for me to understand because it seemed so random to me...).
Good reception and if you find any errors, please share them with the community, I will correct them. But, I'm almost certain that Serif, in his great goodness, will very soon integrate these Live Filters into AD like he did in AP... and who knows, maybe one day, in macOS, we will have the functionality QuickLook with very large and beautiful thumbnails!…
NB: Serif could also better qualify these .afsssets files with a personalized icon rather than a generic file icon!…
 
🇫🇷 Voici une reprise de l'Asset, avec de nouvelles icônes et l'intégration du Live Filter la plus élémentaire possible.
Malheureusement, j'ai dû quand même créer des sous-groupes afin de garantir une vignette la plus grande possible (le rendu d'Affinity Designer sur ces vignettes m'a été difficile à cerner tant il est m'a semblé aléatoire…).
Bonne réception et si vous trouvez des erreurs, merci d'en faire part à la communauté, je corrigerais. Mais, je suis presque certain que Serif, dans sa grande bonté, intégrera très prochainement ces Live Filters dans AD comme il l'a fait dans AP… et qui sait, peut-être qu'un jour, sous macOS, nous aurons la fonctionnalité QuickLook avec de très grandes et belles vignettes !…
NB : Serif pourrait aussi mieux qualifier ces fichiers .afsssets avec une icône personnalisée plutôt qu'une icône générique de fichier !…

@MikeW,
Thanks for the reply.
I found a solution to my problem.
The solution:
Enter the following formula in Excel.
=IF(NUMBER(A3:A12);SUM(A3:A12);"")
and not instead of the total
I don't know if the formula is translated correctly into English.
The German formula is (=IF(ANZAHL(A3:A12);SUMME(A3:A12);"")

No, there's no function to hide zeros...
A couple things. One is just to F/R in Excel.
Another is to treat the zeros as blank text using the formula that sums the values. Something like:
=""&VLOOKUP(A3,C:D,2,FALSE)
Adjust as needed for your sum formula. The important bit are the empty quotation marks and the ampersand at the beginning of the formula. I haven't tested against APub.
A note. While Excel can hide zeros, they are still there. Which is why APub is displaying them.

Waited a long time, but now it's here, the spiral tool.👍👍
Initial tests with the new tool are promising.
Thanks to the Serif team.

Apps: All
Platforms: macOS, Windows and iPad
All Affinity apps now allow you to both create and place password protected PDFs.
Create
In the advanced export options for PDF files you will see two new options:
1. Require password to open. If you set a password here that means anyone who tries to open that PDF will be prompted to give this password before they can open it.
2. Permissions password. Here you can further protect the PDF with options for restricting printing, modification, editing and copying with a secondary password.
You will also see the type of encryption being used for the file in question. This is based on the PDF compatibility being used in Export. PDF 1.6 & 1.7 both use AES-128, PDF 2.0 uses AES-256. Password protection is not available with PDF 1.4, 1.5 or PDF/X file compatibility.

Passwords can be saved with the document preset, so for example you could have a preset of “Company Internal PDF” which both specifies the export settings, DPI, etc. you want for that type of document, but also the password settings.
Place
Previously you could not place password protected PDFs in Affinity. Now you can - when you attempt to place the PDF you will get a prompt asking you for the password for the document you are attempting to place.
 

You are doing everything right. This is a message from the master page because the data source is deleted after the data merge. If you want to make sure, add the data source again and the message will disappear.

Hello EMT,
I updated the apps on my laptop to version 1742.
There, I did not have the problem described above.
What I noticed, in the settings, the Folder for the Dictionary
is specified as follows, C:\Program Data\Affinity\Common\2.0 (Beta)Dictionary.
This Folder is empty, no Files in the Folder.
I wonder in which folder the dictionary is stored.

Hello Walt,
Thanks for the information.

Here the same behaviour as Walt has described.
Only the app launched first shows content installed.
Start Publisher:  shows content installed.
After that, start Photo: No installed content is shown.
Then start Designer: No installed content is shown.
Close all apps.
Start Photo:  shows content installed.
After that, start Publisher: No installed content is shown.
Then start Designer: No installed content is shown.
Close all apps.
Start Designer:  shows content installed.
ctc. etc.

Thanks for the function, it makes things a lot easier.

Thanks for the file!
I've managed to reproduce it but I have absolutely no idea what's actually going on here 🧐 I'll get this over to the developers.

Thank you very much and done.

Hello Chris,
I don't have the problem with all photos, but with some.
I'm not sure, whether the type of image matters.
If there is a download link, I can make the said file available.
 
Cheers

@Herb287, okay, I've repaired the corrupt RAW file for you so you should now be able to open it in Photo... Basically, "downloading NEF images from 'newer' Nikon cameras with Nikon Transfer 1 or older versions of ViewNX 2 (and probably Capture NX 2) can result in corrupted NEF images that can no longer be opened" and I suspect this is what has happened here as you mentioned that all RAW files from your D7100 camera were transferred via Nikon Capture Software...
DSC_7857.NEF

I have a similar problem with the Live Perspective Filter, the graphics are being destroyed. This concerns Photo V2.04 as well as the Beta2.1.
it doesn't matter if OpenCl is on or off.
 
Cheers
 

Great this function. Thank you!

Welcome to this forum.
I think your problem is related to scaling.
Go to "Scaling" and select "100%" or play around with the settings.
I hope it helps.
Cheers

Hallo @Simon244,
Willkommen in diesem Forum.

Gehe zu den Einstellungen – Oberfläche, dort kannst du die Nachkommastellen für Einheiten einstellen.

Das sollte dein Problem lösen.

Cheers

@Gnobelix Thanks a lot 🙂
You are a Star, Master of the Anfinity universe! It works, I can manually correct the plugins list. I have already found a problem with file permissions. AP, I don't know why yet, but it only has the ability to read this file. Either way, that's not a problem with this topic.
Once again, thank you very much for the quick and perfect help.
 
King Regards
Sebastian

Hello @Sebastian Michael,
In Windows 10, the plugin information is stored in the following folder.
C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Settings\PhotoshopPluginsPreferences.xml
I hope this is what you are looking for?
Cheers
 

To me, the quoted sentence sounded like that's the only way to change the document size.
But it could also be because of my knowledge of English.
