Hi,
We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.0.863 is now available as a download from the link above.
If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.
This beta is significant update from the 1.8 version available for purchase - we strongly recommend that you do not use this beta for real work as data could be lost and the files you save are not guaranteed to open in previous or future versions of Affinity Publisher.

Hi Walt,
Thanks for letting us know, I've reproduced this and will pass it on to development.

Burny reacted to walt.farrell in Select Object issue with Linked documents (terminology?)
Select > Select Object offers a long list of options for the objects to select, including "Embedded Documents".
Contrary to what the name suggests, it selects all Embedded or Linked documents. Possibly there should be a separate option to select Linked Documents, or possibly some different terminology in that menu item is needed? This, of course, was not an issue before Designer started supporting Linked documents

New Features
Product registration and store content streaming
We have now added the ability to link your Affinity app to your Affinity account through a new app registration process. This will have the advantages of you being able to stream any content you have purchased or received for free from the Affinity store directly to all your apps without having to manually install them. This is of particular use to customers who have more than one of our apps, or run our apps on different devices and operating systems as all your content will automatically be available across all of them.
If you register the beta app you will initially receive a free brush kit (the luminance brush kit) for testing purposes. We appreciate this is of little use if you only use Publisher. In a couple of weeks however this will be expanded to include all of the store content you may already own.
While this is the full scope of what we are implementing for 1.9, the link between your account and your apps will open up the possibility for us to offer other features and services in the future which we think you will like.

Burny reacted to Joachim_L in Thank you for Data Merge
Among all the bug reports, complaining and moaning ... here a small success story. This year I did our annual serial letter with APu and everything went well. 24 fields including a path to several images resulting in a 2.367 pages APu document. Even searching and replacing in this document worked. For the lags in exporting and editing I like to blame my average PC. So, thank you again Serif team, well done!

Data Merge in this beta is perfect timing. I have to generate 2.265 letters. Working good so far. Downsides noticed: APu is very laggy (perhaps my PC), Page Range is not working and having no clue to work with picture frames. The last two things are already reported. Thx for your hard and brilliant work!

New Features and Improvements
We are still very early in the beta process for 1.9. We have additional features we expect to integrate over the next few weeks.
PDF Bookmarks
Bookmarks provide a listing of flagged content that are present within a PDF document.
Bookmarks can be added via the Anchor Panel or automatically generated from a Table of Contents.
PDF Passthrough
It is now possible to flag placed PDF files for PDF passthrough. When such a file is encountered during PDF export it can be embedded verbatim in the output PDF ensuring 100% fidelity.
PSD flattened image representation
When placing a PSD we now use the flattened bitmap representation in the file rather than interpreting the file content ourselves. This will generally give better results on output.
Convert Pixel Layer to Image Node / Picture Frame
It is now possible to convert a Pixel Layer to an Image or Picture Frame plus content.
Initial Text Baseline Advance
Text frames now support an ‘Initial Advance’ property. This can be helpful to keep text aligned with other page elements and ensure predictable consistent layout.
Path Text
Additional controls now make it possible to avoid flowing text onto both sides of a curve. Additionally it is now possible to hide overflowing Path Text if desired.
Configurable Bleed and Margin Guide Colours
The colours used for Bleed and Margin guides are configurable by the user and saved with the document.
---
Known Issues with New Features
The following lists some of the more important known issues we currently have with new the features:
- PDF Passthrough: Crash exporting specific PDF - If you have crashes exporting we would love to hear about them
- PDF Passthrough: Preflight warns of passthrough pdf when it is set to interpret. Some preflight checks drill into PDFs flagged for passthrough and report spurious errors.
- Convert Pixel Layer to Image Node: Converted image resources can end up with no name
- Path Text: Path text overflows on wrong side, hiding overflow hides all text

Burny reacted to PaRunk in Error when switching the contour types with the contour tool
I just noticed that there is a problem if you select a different Countour Type, especially when you use the tool again, and suddenly other corner types appear at some corners. Sometimes, as shown in the video, there were no correct corners and before I had recorded the video, two corners remained round and the other angular.
The function that you create a clone by pressing the Alt key did not work for me with this tool.

Burny reacted to Sean P in Copy Crash on big elements
Hi Burny,
We're aware of a crash that can happen when you have Windows Clipboard History (or other clipboard manager software) running. Turning this off in Settings > System > Clipboard (or stopping your clipboard manager software) will prevent the crash.
Can you try doing that and see if that resolves your issue please?
