Who are you to decide what needs other people have? :rolleyes:
I really know what people need: a tweet from Tronald Dump … or was it a tweed?
@ Tia Lapis
Don't worry! Serif will do what only Serif will do.

It almost looks like you're saying, "No noise," Oval. I don't think that is what Vital was implying.
Art (of reading) needs the skills of the viewer. ;) You can read/interpret/see what you want and you can write what you want. Depends on the skills. If there will be a “Vital” he can think what he wants. Perhaps “Vital” only reads “noise” or “no nonsense” or … Well, “Vital” could tell us if “Vital” drops in …

One way (with the advantage to change the result easily):
1. add a bigger yellow/red rectangle than your glass on the level/position you want it
2. Cut it
3. activate the (upper part of the) glass and use “Paste Inside”

I’d say there’s a good chance we’re not even going to see this. We need more people making noise for it.
NOise. NOise. NoiSE. NoiSE. Noise. Noise. NOise. NoiSE. NoiSE.

Any news about the German edition?
No news. And after more than one month the printers have forgotten it? :(
And within one month it was not possible to update the pictures on https://affinity.serif.com/de/designer/workbook/ and use correct quotation marks there. ;)

Great work. How did you approach making the plastic pattern on the tape?
Right, fernandolins86, this is not just “some dust texture” …

While waiting for Publisher […]
So I am holding my breath for two things: 1) linking to external files in Designer and 2) a truly interchangeable file format between Designer and Publisher.
Do you think that linking to external files in Designer will become true before the launch of APu in 2017 or 2018 … and the interchangeable file format wasn’t promised?
Not easy to suggest a solution without a screenshot or the file: Have you tried all options to get a smaller PDF, Rocketdrive?
-
When will the german version be sold ?
I'm waiting for it.
Seems we used the wrong words and bought too few copies of AD.
-
Thanks both.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the filesize?
We don’t have your file so we cannot tell you specific details. But as MEB already pointed out, check the thread, please. A black Affinity cat has great tips and tricks for you there.

Welcome in 2017.
It already was explained that the file format is optimised for speed rather than size.
Do you really think it is a bug?
-
I think you overlooked the reference in my post. :blink:
If you missed the praise for your pun: :wub: :) :wub: :D
But really not hoping “the developers will be filled with remorse”, just piping constantly u n a l i n g e d S O S until dropping down the Christmas tree. :( ;)

Welcome here, Turtle_Island.
Please try to use “Image” instead of “Custom Shape”. Does that help?
If even copy and paste (from AD) does not work, try to export PDFs.
-
Are you hoping that the developers will be filled with remorse for not having this fixed already?

No, just a binary way to explain that some more users are in great distress without that feature. From now we hide messages in dashed lines. ;)

Affinity cats, can’t you hear your flock of birds:

Das ist recht eindeutig etwas, was unter Mac und Windows derzeit verschieden ist. Oder hast Du auch Windows?
Ich denke nicht, dass es ein Bug ist. Das mit der Sprache war ja ein Witz.
Witze werden ohnehin ignoriert ;), aber wenn etwas fehlt, sollte es ein Bug sein. Und ja, Windoof haben wir auch.
Workaround: Einfach den Zeilen-Auswahlrahmen als Abstand nutzen, bis sich Serif gekümmert hat.
-
??
Da muss man ja schon Hellseher sein, um die Ursache für das Problem einzugrenzen, weil hier in der deutschen Version nichts fehlt.
Falls ein Reset nicht hilft, bitte direkt Serif anmailen oder einen Bug-Report schreiben.

Where? How?
There is still no context menu
but simply use View ▹ Customise Tools… (not Toolbar) in both apps to reach the separator lines. :)

Crazy that users don’t find the distance lines. A bit like the problem with the light text colour of the search field here on top. Serif wasn’t able to improve that.

I am sorry .. you are not suppose to critique what i did. are you? instead of appreciating people that they love to use Affinity products you are behaving in opposite way. The thing you like you want to improve that and I only wanted to have those features otherwise I don't care about any other AI alternatives. I should remain a silent observer. And this is a forum to discuss , not to point out in a laugh way!
Did not critique, just telling facts. But if you only Interpret in one way: If somebody is saying that he designs stunning stuff and he shows something else, his needs for linked text in Affinity Designer get implausible.
It wasn’t said that you have to use other apps. But only the market pressure (this is what was meant) could change the decision of Serif not to add features like linked text "directly” into Affinity Designer.This (topic) is about the Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.5.5 - Beta 1) and it does not really make sense to discuss those Affinity Publisher features here (more for bugs and thanks) because you already knew that they will need time (until 2017 / 2018 [Affinity Publisher]).- Philipwhand and HaroldBark

This would work just fine with the architecture, but I think it's going to have to be a 'one day' thing - because it would rely on some of the other components we need in order to make multi-page/multi-artboard and canvas rotation work - so it would be after those things.
Still no hope to have it (and the SVI) before “Pages”?
-
If you think what I designed in Affinity designer shouldn't be designed in Affinity designer but in publisher than i think you are wrong. Affinity is enough capable that let me design stunning stuff but why can't i have linked text in AD.
This is what you think but Dave Harris already answered what Serif will do and will not do. No idea why you asked for APu features in AD here again. There are other design apps that also have features that Affinity Publisher will have.
BTW: No designer would do what you have done with texts. One example that really hurts:

-
All of us have been waiting ever since Affinity Publisher was announced, so we have all been waiting exactly the same length of time, regardless of which operating system(s) we use. ;)
Mac users are waiting for a macOS version since the announcement in 2014 and Windows users for a Windows version since the announcement in 2016. "Exactly the same length of time”?

Yes, thanks, thanks, thanks.
