[HELP please, corrupt file message!]

Your file has some sections of missing data, because of this it can't be recovered at this time. However I've asked our developers to take a look to confirm however I can't give a timeframe or guarantee it will be able to be recovered. In the meantime do you have any backups that you can revert to?

Hi and thank you for your reply.

unfortunately no, since I was working on my station and not on our NAS drive systems which normally supports versioning. I did so precisely to avoid this problem since I have red about an issue where you could corrupt your .afx working directly on a remote/ external drive.

Since my first post I have recreated the file twice! since I faced another crash about 5 hrs into the work. this time the message for corrupt file reads" Failed to open file /xxxxx/xxxxx/xxx.afpub - The file is already open in another application". Naturally I tried to shut everything down, restart, with no luck

At this point what is important to me is understanding the WHY, so that this may be avoided in the future.

 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide you with to facilitate the process, thank you.

[[AD 1.8.0] No undo after update]

Just had my app automatically updated to the latest 1.8.0 via the Mac App Store.

For some reason, I found there was no Undo available, neither Cmd+Z nor Edit->Undo seem to work.

I realized the problem was that the setting for "Undo Limit" in Preferences->Performance was for some reason set to 0 after the update

Same for me no more undo nor history panel ... help please

Personal opinion: At this point in the evolution of Publisher you should not put picture frames or text frames on a Master Page if you intend to change their content on the document pages they're applied to.

Rather, you should draw Guides on the Master and then place the frames manually on the document pages using those Guides, as shown in the Master Page video. You might also find it beneficial to put your frames into the Assets panel to facilitate reuse, by dragging them onto the Guides.

Thank you for your reply,

it is completely comprehensible that this function is not active/ available at this stage, wishful thinking of me  

also to make sure i didn't miss it. It would make a huge difference in our workflow.

have a nice day

Nothing? anyone?...

[image placement and master slide components]

Hi,

 

thank you for the comment. 

doing as you suggested will also update the master slide, hence all the other slide referenced to that master slide  Resulting in in copies of the same page.

[image placement and master slide components]

Hello, and thank you for all the great work you you're doing with affinity family of products :)

I've been trying to create a documents, basically a presentation with full page images and a footer text that is placed over the image.

I can create the master slide with a picture frame and text and a receptacle that should overlay my image (attached image), but when i create pages based on this master page i cannot load images to the frame in the background. Instead it cover all the page along with the components from master page.

I also tried starting with an empty page, inserting a picture frame tool, inserting my image and the applying the master page to it, but i have the same problem as the master page components remain in the back.

Am I doing something wrong? I really want to leave ID asap, this will make a great difference.

 

Thanks.
