No problem mykee. I see what you mean, seems to be a bug, but I have a workaround for you.
The incorrect fill layer happens only, when you set up a document with the default bleed of 3 mm. Test it, make a new document with 3,1 mm bleed and the fill layer works or as a workaround, change in document setup the bleed to 3,1 mm and add the fill layer anew. This works for me.

APhoto is doing more to an image under the hood. Original JPEG quality was 85, so I exported the image in APhoto with this quality with no ICC or metadata. After that compared both in IrfanView. Main difference is marked on the attached image. Interesting is the fact, that there about 50.000 unique colours more in the image after the APhoto export. Where do these unique colours come from?

Very nice, very clean. I like this style a lot.

Apparently there was a serious reason to change the default/predefined behavior
This is the point. Since I like linked more over embedded I changed the preference to linked. So I would expect to respect this, when I replace an image in an opened PDF where all cointained images are embedded.
Apart from this: I wonder if it would be useful to have an option for extracting the embedded images, saving them into a standard folder and having them linked. A collection of loose images would be easy to work on. PDFlib used in Affinity products seems to be able to do this.

When your document preference for images is Prefer Linked and you replace an embedded image in your document. Which type of placement should be used here? Linked? Embedded? Personally I prefer the preference-method over the keep-it-as-is-method. In fact the image remains embedded although the preference is linked.
More or less an academic question, because both sides could be right.

1. Make a new CMYK document.
2. Import a PDF containing a gradient built with spot colours.
Result: Gradient is converted to CMYK.
-
Also PS import with spot colour inside file will become CMYK afterwards.

Warum nicht? Spannend fände ich eine Art Making-of-Video, das würde anderen helfen und vielleicht fallen auch Tipps für dich ab.
Why not? A kind of Making-of-Video would be exciting for others to learn and maybe some hints for you.

Even worse, Designer and Publisher are not able to detect that there is a spot colour inside an EPS (when it is coming from Indesign for example).
-
1. Set up a CMYK document with a spot colour.
2. Export as EPS. Export option makes no difference.
3. Place PDF in Publisher and check the spot colour. This colour is now converted to CMYK.
First thought, that upon placing the colour might get converted, but I cross-checked by opening the PDF with Adobe Acrobat DC Pro. From Indesign CS6 I am able to export an EPS including spot colours. The weak support for spot colours in the Affinity applications gives me some headaches, since the company's CI colour is HKS 7. I am really hoping for a massively improved colour handling in the near future, otherwise I am (hopefully not) forced to go back to Adobe.
Attached are two EPS, one from Publisher and one from Indesign.

All of your embedded fonts in the document are TrueType fonts, except for the faulty Arial-BoldMT, which is Type 1. Why is only this font Type 1?

danke schön für die Korrektur =)
War keine Kritik. Sehr schön geworden, erinnert mich ein wenig an die Metro-Karte von Stockholm.

One typo: It is called "Agentur für Arbeit"

One forgot, which I mentioned already in an other post. When I want to flip an element I can't do this with a custom transform origin, means the element stays at place and the "content" is just only flipped. Item f) on my "center list".

Press and hold ctrl on Mac (or the right mouse button in addition to the left one on Windows) to rotate the object around the opposite corner.
Nice one, but why the prolonged <- correct word? handle over the top middle handle, when you can do the same with the handles in the four corners?

Not very intuive from my point of view. Yes, if I want to have a special transform origin, but not if I simply want to rotate an element around e.g. left middle handle. In competitor products you can use the handles in the transform panel to set the transform origin.
@garrettm30 you have to doubleclick the handles to enable this.

Not to be too serious, but at least on your first point, it only rotates from center if that is what you selected.
My fault, initially I meant manually rotating an element ignores the selected handle in the transform panel. You have to set the Transform origin to get rotated around a desired point. It would be much faster if the standard transform origins could be set in the transform panel.

Do not take this topic too serious ... It must have been a long discussion among the Affinity developers and marketing people to not copy everything from other layout programmes. Otherwise the fact that quite a few parts / functions in Publisher are working "centered" is not explainable. But at some point this centric behaviour is a bit annoying.
a)
Rotating elements with the transform panelRotating elements manually (without setting transform origin) -> from the centerb) Resizing images inside a picture frame -> from the center
c) Placing images with Place Tool (simple click) -> Placed centered
d) Placing docx with Place Tool (simple click) -> Placed centered
e) Whereever I click the gray caret in Navigator panel -> Mouse centered in the gray caret afterwards
f) ... to be continued ...

Call me an idiot ... please! Placed a RGB in a CMYK document. But anyway, this is a big difference from a dark blue to nearly white? Living with my idiocy presented to the public or hiding this thread, thats the question ...

Hallo Wolfgang, eine Sicherungskopie wird meines Wissens nicht angelegt. Wohl aber bietet der Publisher nach einem Crash an, die Datei wiederherzustellen. Was deine Fehlermeldung zu bedeuten hat, können vielleicht andere erklären. Ein rein deutsches Forum gibt es hier nicht, aber genügend deutsche Nutzer und auchdie Entwickler machen sich tatsächlich die Mühe fremdsprachige Forumsbeiträge für sich zu übersetzen und darauf auch fremdsprachig zu antworten. Vielleicht können die Entwickler auch alle perfekt Deutsch? Man weiß es nicht.

The bug is still present in Publisher. Especially if you want to place images taken from smartphones which are shot portrait, they will be placed landscape. I assume, that Publisher reads first the EXIF data and if no EXIF data is present it computes the orientation from the dimension of the image. Other orientations than Top left seem to be not valid e.g. Right Top. Attached EXIF data from a smartphone image (SM-G930F).

Now and then I am too lazy to convert a coloured image into a "real" greyscale file, so using the Black & White Adjustment in Publisher would be a nice tool. But this Adjustment seems to have severe problems with blue and red. I attached three images to see the effect in a) Publisher and b) the Black & White Adjustment directly used in APhoto.

Too much work.
I add a screenshot instead. Apart from a few fonts recently added like Milo, LCD and some more coming from CS6, the fonts were already installed on a brand new Windows 10 PC.

you used the text wrap which in my opinion is not necessary for pinned objects
You are right. I wonder, why it did not work in the first place when I tried.

Fill layer PDF export bug
in V1 Bugs found on Windows

The trick is, do not leave the default bleed as is, when you create a new document. Type in again 3 mm at document setup and it works. Or alternatively change the bleed of your existing document to e.g. 4 mm, add the fill layer and change the bleed afterwards. The fill layer will shrink back to 3 mm.
