Strange page view
TomJr replied to TomJr's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hey Chris, Basically I just created a new 8.5x11 doc. But I just tried an 5.5x8.5 doc, worked fine. After I saw your response, I tried the 8.5x11 again. Now looks fine. Totally strange. -

@Chris B, This strange behavior is happening in Publisher 2.4. Just created a new doc for each; seems OK so far in Designer and Photo, but I just updated. Any ideas?ubP -

@Chris B Has this issue been resolved? I'm seeing this also in Publisher v2.3.1 (Mac) too. -

My issues have been happening long before V2, I've just been dealing with it, and thought I should address it now. Happens in Designer too. -

@anto I have a 30" LG Monitor connected directly to the Mac Studio, along with 2 others to the left and right of it. Does that help? -
Hi all, I've seen this occasionally over the years in both Publisher and Designer, where the full page view shows the view attached in this post. I'm posting this from using the latest version of Publisher (2.3). I've seen this occur in silicon and Intel Macs. Obviously, the whole page should be white, but as you can see, there is only one part of the page in white, the rest is the pasteboard color. In this particular example, I was opening an IDML file, and this is what I got. I doubt it has any bearing, but thought it worth a mention. If it helps, I'm running: Apple M1 Max Studio (64GB ram, 4TB SSD) MacOS 14.1.2 Affinity 2.3

I was poking around, looking for a solution on this (what InDesign calls "smart quotes") for a small book I'm putting together. Although I don't see anything to use in the Find/Replace dialog, I did find a workaround. My best practices include Style Sheets (or Text Styles here). So within my text style edits I changed Language/Typography Script to Auto, and now when I search for a quote, I just type in a quote in the result it show me within the text box. Hopefully there will be a better solution in any upcoming update to Affinty Publisher.

Stroke weight incorrectly applied in created Style
TomJr replied to TomJr's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
I checked what you tried, and I'm seeing that too. However, the experience that brought me here was creating and applying the Style within the same document! I would add the "wrong" value was off by a couple of hundred points! Literally. However, I think I might have found the solution, based on what you said about resolution. I noticed when I applied the styles I created, the "scale with object" must have been selected when I created the style. Once I deleted the styles I made, I recreated them with the "scale with object" box unchecked, and that seems to fix it. Thanks for giving me the idea! -
I am using V2.1.1 of Designer, on an M1 Max Mac Studio (4TB SSD, 64 GB Ram, on OS 13.5) I started by creating an object with a stroke color and stroke weight I wanted to keep as a style. I created 2 Styles: - 6 pt, 100% black stroke - 9 pt, 40% black stroke When applying what I created to an object or stroke, the stroke width created is NOT what I made in the style. As a matter of fact, the stroke width is different each time I apply it (300 pt, 63.9 pt, etc - strange!). The color seems to work fine. I'm open to suggestion here, if anyone else can replicate this so it works correctly, let me know. All I know is that I need to manually change the stroke weight to what I created in the style each time after I apply it.

TomJr started following Designer 2 not opening large files
-
I am having the same issue as @SStohelit. @MikeTO mentions that Affinity recommends working directly off the internal drive. Frankly, I have not been doing that, but do have a few files I cannot open in AD2. Can I get some help here, or should I try to d/l AD1 and resave it?

TomJr started following 2.4 New Features and Improvements

LeeThorpe, Thanks for your response. Yeah, I saw those, but nothing specific for creating a key command to snap object to margins, page edges. Having those is a real time saver in my day-to-day layout work with InDesign. IMO, the Key Command assignments in Publisher V2 for this would be a great feature add. Tom
