  1. Soo.. am i the first one one the new Beta to tell about a Bug ? Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.238 I cant open the hyperlinks Window / Tab, whatever it is.. when i use the Studio to aktivate it.. maybe i am looking in the wrong place ? Nothing seems to happen on cklicking the entry " hyperlinks"
  2. Wow... great Steps to the right direction.. and hapy i could contribute with three of the bugs above that have been resolved..
  3. Well.. This is just what you are forced to, if you make Architectural Visualisations.. You just have to combine complex parts of reality, but also have to delete, change, mask, and formost.. you have to try to stay flexible as long as you can, because architects develope their ideas, while you show them what rey realy have been drawing.. He.. you tiny .. renderfreak... make big windows... make smal windows... make them spare above three rows.. no.. go back to two... aaah.... and the tree in the backround.. could you just rotate the leaves in the lower part about 12 degree to south... why didnt you see this ... we just changed the stone.. we have made the whole building round... come on.. you still have the night to chane it... lol.. Tell you.. beeing a 3ds max guru... was a great time for years.. but i am glad now to be part of the it department and teach things like affinity.. 3d.. will stay with me for fun.
  4. There have lately been some changes to the shortcuts toggle ... as written in the announcement for the actual beta: Changed tool shortcuts (optionally, default is off) to allow SHIFT to loop through grouped shortcuts (e.g. SHIFT+B to loop through brush tools) so do i get this right ? This function is optional, and i have to turn it on at first ? If so, how and where do i have to turn it on exactly, to test it ?
  5. Hi everyone.. For international architectural competitions, architectural Companys have to submit an application in which they also prove the qualifications of their employees. For this purpose, we have a document for each employee with his or her curriculum vitae and qualifications, which are supplied with the application. These documents are all structured in the same way. Would it be possible to have these documents filled in automatically via the connection to tables or databases, so that the colleagues in business development do not have to create a new publisher document every time ? Of course we would have to migrate from Indesign to Publisher. Without an import function, at least of the IDML format, the conversion to Affinity Publisher would require an extremely high effort which is difficult to justify. 1. are connections for the import of databases that can automatically fill a document with content being considered? and 2. when is there hope for the import of IDML files ?

  6. Hi MEB... You just answered , while i tried to explain workflow that we use in the next answer.. Thats great to hear.. and as you see in my screenshot, Options to organise, and fast select such masks in big documents are very important.. Thanks again..
  7. Yes Ron P. It Does. But this isnt realy what we need here.. because it deselects everything. ! Imagine, you have for example 20 Masks of seperated Trees, you positioned in differing places on your Document and also in different Groups in your Layerpannel, because some of the trees are in foreground others in Backround. While additive like shown above you can select all of them, often, you click on a mask you didnt want to select and now can see that the selection isnt what you want.. In Photoshop i think its cmd+alt+shift click on the mask to deselect this one wrong mask from your selection.. Sounds as a minor problem, and realy, to be able to additive select many pixelmasks is more important.. But still in such a workflow, wou would have to do the selection again from the beginning, if there wasnt any way to deselect the last step... ill put a screenshot to show you how in some cases our layerstack in Visualisations for our Architects can look like , and youll see, this shortcut could ease the pain if you mistakenly selected the wrong mask..
  8. Well i installed just the newest Beta of Affinity Photo .1.7 0231, and looked at the Changes.. Affinity even didnt mention it there i think.. But very very helpful and important for me was a very tiny shortcut missing... additiv in the Layermanager select pixelselections.. So Serif listens to us.. Shortcut is in German: STRG+Shift+ Leftmousebutton click.. / or : cmd+shift+ LMB klick.. this tiny shortcut will reduce selectiontimes on big documents with many masks where you all the time have to select many layers, (in Visualisation compositings of Architectural visualisations for example) , enormously.. So many many thanks.. But ! i cant find a way to deselect from a Selection.. this is still missing, maybe this could be implemented too ?
  9. Well it realy depends to the Task that you have to do... i had to deal with some 2GB Images, created out of an Architectural Visualisation Process.. Splatterd with dotzens and dozens of Masks, effects, Layer.. (about 100 and more) and you Need them for Architectural Big Scenes.. Here i realy have to say, Affinity Photo is very slow.. compared to Adobe Photoshop, which pans Images like nothing, new Areas of an Image that come to your Screen by paning, in Affinity have to be rebuild.. it sometimes kills a smooth workflow.. also using Brushes has some time lagging.. I hope this is the result of missing gpu boost ? If so, one of the Big hadaches befor bringing Affinity to our Company will be gone..
  10. Hallo Patric, Yes i did.. my Screen told.. Installation failled... nothing more. i edited my first post.. but it was an installaions rights Problem i suppose.. no Problems from your side i think, thanks.
  11. Well as many others, i get Problems installing the new Build.. and also the Beta bevor the actual one. EDITED: I only lost my admin rights... Our Chief Admin has given them back to me... Sorry serif.. everything is well.. it was my foult.. thanks.
  12. Well as many others, i get Problems installing the new Build.. and also the last one.. EDIT: Problem only was, i had los Admin rights on the new Computer... they are back, and everithing is fine... So it was my foult.. not yours Serif... thanks.
  13. Hi Pille... (so Bones get Called in Germany... ) thanks... Where could i put possibly suggestions if i wished so... for blender ?
  14. Yes. I allready installed 2.8 after seeing the incReadible Preview of the 2.8 Viewport.. Eevee is realy a great tool as a viewport realtime rendersystem and also for many toon like renderings, that doesnt need photoreralistic Vray irradiance cache light transport scattering wavelength baseed.... you name it.. algorithms.. The new interface also looks good. But still the shortcuts feel like a bomb exploded in them. The Modifier Stack isnt as advanced as max modifier stack, but does the job.. But we´ll see what "everything nodes" will deliver to us.. esp. becaus modifier nodes maybe will implement modelling options, max could only dream of.. hope so.. Arr... have to stop here.. its not a Blenderr forum... But cryptomatte would be nice... in Affinity.
  15. Hallo MEB, thanks for your Answer. Yes.. You are right. I have without thinking about it, just reproduced a document comming from our PR appartment.. to position about 40 Pages into the masterpages together with alterning content.. , is realy screwing up the purpose of masterpages.. Never the less, a funktion to load pagetemplates would be very much appreciated.. and if it will come later thats great news.. greetings from Hamburg.
  16. Well never the less.. i agree, that the current method of embedding even "linked" files in the document could be a dealbreaker , when it comes to heavy Documents behind some middle size.. Only think of incrementaly saving 10 versions of a 1 gig document... Horible resources killing.... also. it nearly wouldnt be possible to work with such a document.. Well Serif, i am sure you are working on this... you should.. but untill now it looks a bit like a hack.. not a feature.. Pleas make real linked files possible, becaus all bigger Documents would fail to be usable.
  17. Yes.. and by the way.. Cryptomatte was develloped from a company, using Blender that had to compose massive stuff for the netflix animation film "Next Gen." It was the first time that Blender could proove, it is capable to produce featuere length animations. So while i am a Veteran 3Ds Max User, i get more and more impressed from Blender. "Tangent Animation" the company who did this film, develloped Cryptomatte, and because The whole idea of Blender is Comunity they gave it Back to the comunity.. Thats why so many Renderengines and Video Compositing Tools do have it now.. But i dont know any Image Editing Software that can use Cryptomatte.. So Serif... that would be your Chance..
  18. Yes... exactly.. this was hurting me too... there are several funktions that have to be improved here... replace from folder, open file in Windows explorer would be good too.. copy embeded files to the following folder and link it from there... also i just dont understand, why a document with linked files got the same size as a document with embeded files.. as far as i have read, the files allways stay in publisher, but it recognises that theres some lets say master-file out there, so when this changes, the file in publisher can be reloaded from there... This is a behavior that can lead to very big files, and thats not what i would think, linking should do...
  19. Hi everyone... Somehow i didnt knowtice this any time befor... What ist htis for ? I Select an image with a curve as mask... and when i use the move tool, i get a button called: " K only"... what is this for ?
  20. Hi Everyone, Maybe this is someting widely out of mainstream Wishes in Affinity Photo.. But maybe, maybe there are many other 3D Artists out there, that would like to see this.. So .. What do i wish.. I Would very much appreciate "Cryptomatte" its a fileformat, engeneered for Rendered images in 3D Programes, that have to simulate Reality.. In this FREE available File Format, all the conted of a 3D Rendering automatically produces Masks, and Channels for selectiing "All" available Contend of the rendering... all objects you want, all materials, What ever you need. Point is, this process to produce all needed masks beforehand in 3D Applications was extremly cumbersome , slow , uggly... But, now we have CRYPTOMATTE... Even Adobe hasnt got it.. Dear Develloper from Serif... if you would like to get all the 3D People on your Boat,. .. implement it to Affinity Photo. Even Adobe lucks of it. So this would be a great feature... The following youtube video, shows how Vray one of the most advanced Rendersystems for 3ds max and also many other 3D Packages makes use of this format, which is.... As said free available.
  21. Well very nice, That my thoughts produce such a Thread where everyone spends some thoughts about the best way to make publisher better in this area.. To create automacially following and linked Textframes maybe realy doesnt produce less work. Ass already said, this could be cumbersome if you dont have a long text, so this as an option would be nice.. But my first post rather was about the behaviour, when in insert a new Textframe on the masterpage, that i link in there.. and this should for sure be reflected in the dependend pages i think.
  22. I am about to try to use the assets pannel . What i want to do is to throw in the very many differing logos, our PR appartment has storred somewhere on our server, so its for our architects at hand much faster but to first browse through our server structure if they need it. Here are some thoughts. its a pain at the moment to bring in some footage. you first have to place it in your document.. create a categorie which in itselve is realy cumbesome... (create... select the new categorie, select again the hamburger menue.. change name... ) than select the placed footage..... select the new categorie, select the hamburger menue... klick on "get from selection... realy ? Anyone here who thinks, this could be a slick workflow ? adding one by one dozens of assets, it just takes Hours... its at the moment i have to say nearly unusable.. I have Seen, i could save out the assets.. but it looks like assets themselve doesent get exportet anywhere... Ohnly the structure of my Assetfolders.. so if i wanted to make my assets available to other collegues, this doesnt work as long as they havnt got the same serverstructure ? maybe here i am wrong. So What to improve? Drag and drop directly from a folder or from your document... into your assets pannel.. ! Drag and drop also with multiple assets.. use Serverstructures, !!! just drag and drop a folder tree from your Windows explorer onto the Assetarea, and it reconstructs the whole folderstructure.. and all the pathes.. But at the moment.. it is realy unusable for everything thats beyond 3 icons.. which you could easier get directly from your win- explorer.. Dear Programmers from serif.. i am sure.. on your list are many things with higher priority.. but this should be changed...
