  1. I did above. That was the output of the command. I'm not going to share the file as it has limited circulation.
  2. They don't. They are pattern matchers, which may or may not be plain text. Meanwhile they work for me. (507) % grep -i dormitory V8-Student-Guide\ v2\ 20230415-02.afpub Binary file V8-Student-Guide v2 20230415-02.afpub matches Misspellings and non-existent words do not return the same result. (508) % grep -i farrell V8-Student-Guide\ v2\ 20230415-02.afpub
  3. Where are the afpub files stored. Let's imagine a simple case, they are stored in your Desktop directory. In the terminal type 'cd ~/Desktop'. Then try the grep commands.
  4. That's because grep/egrep is not looking in the same way. Try it with a test file.
  5. You may have some luck from the command line. Open a terminal and type: egrep 'where the blue mountains rise' *.afpub You may see the result 'Binary file <filename> matches. If that doesn't work above, try egrep mountains *.afpub. In both cases you need to be in the directory where the afpub files are located, or add the full path before the file names.
  6. I understand that. But in this particular case, would people stop visiting the Affinity forums if the pages loaded slower the first time they visited them? I doubt it.
  7. Another point: can anyone really tell me that for a text based forum like this, that variable fonts make the slightest bit of difference? Really? I'm not here to wonder at appearance of the text in a forum.
  8. But the subject of the post is disabling the export preview, so that is what the responses should be about. There is nothing to stop Bob opening a new post venting their spleen about their dislike of V2 GUI in general.
  9. Even that 4% is very debatable. Linux on the desktop is in fairly widespread use by developers, but not by all. For those developers building for iOS, for example, Linux is of no use at all.
  10. None of which addresses the request at the beginning of this post.
  11. That is not what was being asked for by the originator of this thread. Perhaps they, specifically they, are not interested in Windows of APub for example. I don't know. It is you who is making the generalisation that many posts apply not to just one app or platform. That is true, but it is not the whole truth. Perhaps Bob is uninterested in Windows at all. Or perhaps Bob only used APhoto, and problems in APub are of no interest to him.
  12. As mentioned, adding tags would not stop you reading any post. Would you really ignore all posts that have "Windows 11" as a tag, if you only use a Mac?
  13. Yes. Just as I ignore the dates. If tags annoy you that much, why don't you round up a posse and run ALL the tags out of town?
