  1. Hi!

    Two feature requests:

    I am forced to constantly switch between a Mac and Windows workstation working in the same document (via USB drive). Since Apple and Microsoft use different filesystems and thus completely different file paths, I am constantly forced to reconnect the "missing" files, whenever I switch. Embedding is not an option, because it's a book with lots and lots of large pictures.

     

    So   1), is there a way for Publisher, to ignore complete file paths and look first in the home folder of the document?

    and 2), if a missing image is found in a path, could publisher start looking for other images along the same path, like most video editing apps can? That would streamline the working process of the ressource manager enormously.

     

     

    Thanks, Mirko Schieder

  2. Hi!

    I have a weired problem with Affinity Designer...
    I'm working on the up-to-date version 1.6.5.135 under Windows 10. 

    I have a couple of icons, that I created some while ago (I believe before updating to .135). These icons are saved as .svg and I need them to be pure vectors without rasterized pixel-portions, because MS Visual studio is supposed to find and recolor the hex-color values.
    I've been careful not to use any effects that were incompatible with SVG (no transparency, no masks etc.)

     

    I attach the SVG, I exported some time ago which has been exported without a problem. Opening the .affinitydesigner file also exports without a problem.
    However - when I re-open the exported SVG and try to save (via export to svg) it (not having touched and altered anything) Designer wants to rasterize certain parts, rendereing the file unusable for me.

    Is there something, I'm not getting?

    new export.svg

    old export.svg

    original.afdesign

  3. Here's an interresting one:

     

    I created some text in faux-italics by tilting the letters by 13 degrees. (My machine didn't have the italic font and I was to lazy to go and do a search for just one word, I admit).

    Now, exporting to PDF worrks as expected. Printing said PDF works as expected, printing from Affinity Designer however produces weired results...

    The letters dont't get tilted, instead they rotate by 13°. The printer btw is a HP Color LaserJet CP3525 UPD PCL 6.

    I tried different fonts, sizes even colorspaces always with the strange outcome. The PDF export is a workaround for now, but you should look into this before alpha phase.

     

    Aside from the little hickup, it's real fun working with publisher!
