I can imagine it becomes a real pain when you have lots of images constantly updating! Hope for a fix soon.

Sadly it isn't, I'm using the latest beta and its still there. Thanks for the workaround tho.

I'm about to send a brochure to print and converting a large number of linked images from RGB to CMYK. I've converted the colour format/profile of my linked images in Photo, returned to Publisher and clicked 'update' on the modified linked image. Boom! ALL my updated images have now resized in Publisher, leaving me to manually resize each one again. I could understand that happening if I'd of resized them in Photo, but all I've done is update the colour profile. Why have the changed dimensions in Publisher?

Running 1.9.1.952 on Mac OS 11.3 and get the following error when I select 'Check for updates' from within Publisher: Affinity Publisher Beta can't be updated, because it was opened from a read-only or a temporary location. Use Finder to copy Affinity Publisher Beta to the Applications folder, relaunch it from there, and try again. But that's not the case, its installed in the Applications folder as normal?

Many thanks!

I've attached a screen recording to demo, but just noticed in 1.9 on Mac OS Big Sur that when I group an object that has items with text on a path, it goes Pete Tong. Screen_Recording_2021-02-08_at_10_40_51.mov

I reported this too, its a known bug and they are aware of it.

Isn't the long load something to do with Rosetta /M1 ? I thought it should only do it on its first launch then every time thereafter be fine?

Glad my eyesight isn't on the way out just yet then. Thanks!

Just updated to 1.9 and maybe I'm going mad but the clickable target to clear an items colour (for want of a better description) as become a tiny little pin head of an icon - I'm sure it wasn't like that in 1.8? Or maybe I'm getting old Not very user friendly.

Great to have an Export Preview, but I expected it to be part of the Export window UI rather than an additional window to the left, personally I feel it looks a bit untidy at the moment. Also as others have mentioned I expected a zoom of some kind, wasn't clear I could do that after a quick look.

I personally think it would be best to hold off implementing PDF passthrough feature until the placed preview matches the actual original PDF (even a super low res one, I wouldn't care). For example, if I'm producing a newspaper filled with hundreds of PDF adverts placed as passthrough, although they may well export fine in the final output I'm not filled with confidence working on a document that looks wildly different to the final outcome. Just my opinion, not a criticism in any way! But this is a FANTASTIC feature - I'm loving the pace at which Publisher is developing

You're very welcome!

Hi there, yes there is - I wanted to setup a Text Style that handled the bullets as I have A LOT of text to format. Using a font specifically for the shape means I can use it in my text style and change size / colour etc easily, updating all instances throughout the brochure. I'd previously used a polygon shape manually placed where I needed a bullet symbol for a leaflet that only had a few bullets in, but this version is MUCH easier to manage!

LOL, sorry, I should of shared! I used this font https://www.fontspace.com/font-shapes-2019-f31329 and its worked great. Many thanks for sharing your link too!

SORTED! Found a free font that contains shapes, all done

Any idea on how to make custom bullet points like these please? The simplest option would be a font with a hexagonal character - does anyone know of one please?

Thank you for trying the file, this is useful feeback.

Client has come back to me and said that it was created entirely in Excel, latest version. I that helps?!

Ah ok, thank you. I've asked the client where it came from so will wait and see.

Sorry I can't be certain as a client supplied. I can ask them tho and hopefully they'll fill me in. First time i've had a need to import Excel so never seen the issue before. I also tried copy/paste in Excel into a new doc, resaved and tried again. Still crashed so there's definitely something in there that Publisher disagrees with!

Sure, here it is. May Covid 19 Flyer FD20 list.xlsx

As per the title, open a fresh doc, go to File/Place, select a basic Excel doc and Publisher crashes every time. Pub 1.8.3, Mac OS 10.15.4.

Hi @MEB many thanks for confirming that, it would be great if there was a pref to turn this off in the near future. Thank you!

Many thanks for taking the time to look through as well. I guess we'll just have to wait to see if Serif replies to confirm.
