Using Affinity Photo with Apple Photos app
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
This issue still doesn't seem to be fixed 😥could we have a response from Affinity as to when we might expect this functionality to be restored? In principle Apple Photos and Affinity Photo should be a marriage made in heaven but it's bloomin' frustrating to do a load of edits in Affinity Photo only to bet the errror occurredd message! It's nearly a year since I first posted and we are actually worse off now than a year ago as Affinity Photo seems to load the original image not the edited on from Photos... -
update - now the Preflight panel no longer appears when I go to export.(I do have the Studio/Preflight/Export button selected)...
-
1.8.1 Preflight is showing some words as misspelt - they are not but that's not the point. I can't get (for example) it to accept the spelling 'Liddle' - a colleagues name. Sometimes the spell-checker works correctly but for no obvious reason sometimes it just doesn't...
-
Ditto - clearly this is a bug - no point having an 'Open Pre-flight' button if it doesn't actually do anything. 1.8.1

Quality/image preview when Exporting
John Fleet replied to K.m's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
definitely a feature request for me too - it's one thing which I'm really missing compared to Photoshop... -
Issue with justification - Publisher
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Thanks Walt - sorry I managed to post in the wrong forum - doh! As you suggest, my workaround was indeed to align left these two lines. @murfee - yes I've spent some time playing with the adjustments in the paragraph panel; without managing to get the result I wanted, but thanks for the suggestion. -
Issue with justification - Publisher
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
yes, it may look like that but I can promise you that I've not missed something as obvious as that - I've tried every permutation of justification. What I can't find is a setting which sets the width at which justification isn't applied. Can't think of the term but I'm used to having it in Word and in the old day Freehand. Just to prove the point here's what the same two lines with the setting which you suggest (Justify All) applied: -
I'm getting this horrible effect with left justified text. There should be (may be) a setting which prevents a short sentence being spread in this way, but for the life of me I can't find it within the Paragraph justification settings...

Using Affinity Photo with Apple Photos app
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Thanks MEB - that works; not sure what you mean by switch to the dark-edit interface? You guys rock - support is outstanding. -
Trying to use the 'edit with' option in Apple Photos to make use of Affinity Photo to edit my photos. I can get Affinity Photo to launch but not to write back the edited photo in Apple Photos - am I missing something?

Find frames with overflowing text

Thanks Dave I'd missed that - very helpful! -
Find frames with overflowing text
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Glad it's not just me - and I find that more often than not I can't find any such frames, which means either there's a false positive warning or I'm missing something - neither of which are good. It strikes me that one thing which would really help would be some kind of indication - perhaps on the border of the frame that there is overflowing/leftover text. Or even change the outline colour of the frame - perhaps to red to give another visual clue. -
Style name weirdness
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on Windows threads
It's not happened again - and doesn't occur in a different document so it's all a bit odd - if I can reproduce it I'll come back to you! Thanks -
I renamed a paragraph style and now it appears in the style menu as white box- see below. The text is just readable as a faint grey colour. Is this a feature or a bug? If it's a feature how can I revert the display to the normal style?

multiple documents in Publisher
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
So two different ways of opening multiple documents. Haven’t tried the top option – haven’t spotted that as a child. So two different ways of opening multiple documents. Haven’t tried the tab option – haven’t spotted that as an option But so far I’ve not been able to drag and drop between open documents. Is there a way to do this? -
multiple documents in Publisher
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
OK = I've invoked something called 'separated' mode which has achieved the desired result. Seems a bit odd! -
thanks guys Yes it was a text frame setting. At that point I hadn't discovered this option buried within Studio. Now I have so problem solved thanks to your help and Youtube! Very much enjoying getting to grips with Publisher - taking me back to the 'good old days' of Aldus Pagemaker! and such a relief to be working with a 'proper' DTP program that isn't Adobe ransomware. So now I have a replacement for Freehand, Photoshop and InDesign/Quark. Happy days!

Text box fill?
John Fleet replied to John Fleet's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
thanks guys - bit of weird interface design to bury such a basic option so deep within the layers but now I know !!! -
I have inadvertently created a text box with a fill - see screen shot. How on earth do I get rid of it?
