Uh... what a shame 😳 didn't saw that. Thanks!

Hi, it's me again 😊 I'm using publisher v2 in german and want to create a data source for a menu card. So far I've done this directly via tables in Publisher, but the layout for the restaurant and take-out card is of course different, so I have two files to maintain. I would like to reduce this to one xlsx data source and I keep finding posts about the Data Merge Manager, which I can't find in the german v2. Under Documents I find at most the item "Add pages from file" ( in german: Seiten aus Datei hinzufügen ) and that apparently has a different task. Can anyone tell me where to find the Data Merge Manager in v2 and how to use it for my project? Thanks EDIT: here is my documents pulldown

Sorry for late feedback. It works by holding down ALTGR, left mouse button pressed and moving the pointer left/right. That's good for me, thanks! ☺️

Wow, that works at least in v1, I wasn't aware of that! 👍 If this also works in the v2 afterwards, I can easily get used to it. 😇

Not for me, I tested it here once in v1 ( Windows ). Maybe it is because of the keyboard matrix, in Germany you need ALTGR to use [ and ].

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I honestly hadn't thought of that. 😇 I can't test it until later unfortunately, as I only have v1 here at the company. But I will give feedback and if necessary the information you mentioned. Thank you very much.

Nur ins Blaue geraten, aber die Firewall oder ein Virenschutz mit Webschutz könnte verantwortlich sein. Würde ich mal alles abstellen und erneut versuchen.

Hi, I have been using v2 for a few weeks now and am basically very satisfied. However, it bothers me that it is no longer possible to change the brush size by pressing ALTGR + [ and ALTGR + ]. Can I set this somewhere that this works again? Now I have to move the mouse to the selection to change the size. This is really annoying when masking. Thanks for hints and tips

It remains exciting, the AppData are actually not synchronized via the RedirectedFolders. I'll test again later the tip from @Lee D

That can be the problem, I think. I didn't do backups myself on that computer, but we're using redirected folders, where the files might be synched again from every new logon. Thanks for the tipp, I've a look on monday.

Was the first thing I did 😉 was and still is unabled.

So today I'm starting my computer an open photo, the well known and expected message appears. In the folder are 4 files dated at july, 11th 2022. After clicking No the folder is cleared again and no message comes by starting photo again and again. Since tomorrow morning 😉 @Old Bruce Thanks for the tipp, I try this and reboot my computer to see how it effects the issue. EDIT: Tried, but still the same issue. Same files will be restored. 😒

Thanks for the answer. The curious thing is that the directory is empty. I can't do a reboot right now, but I will do it again later and then check again and give feedback here. Thanks

Wow... Long time not been online and then I read something like this here. The title had made me a little scared, but when I then followed the discussion, I was reassured and had to smile shaking my head. That is a fact. We should not forget what we have already received in terms of software. For just $55 max, I have photo editing software that plays against the top dog. I would pay that for Adobe almost every month just to be able to use the software. Just be happy and thankful that the development is as far as it is and still affordable. I can understand reporting bugs and not being happy with some things, but you should not forget what we have already received so far and the work behind it. Full Ack! 👍 Serious? There's no algorithm that works 100% accurately. If you want it to be 100%, you still have to find the potential yourself. All tools are just tools, as the name already says, but not for substituting the user. From my side, I can only appeal to Serif not to be impressed by such discussions. A great job has been done! I have purchased all three main products and use them for everything around photo, design and publishing. Great benefit by great price! Personally, I don't miss anything for my purposes that Adobe, for example, would offer me. As I am a developer myself, I would like to advise the team: Take the time you need and thank you for your effort!

Hi, If I open Affinity Photo the first time after starting my computer, he tolds me that there are 4 files that can be recoverd. It doesn't matter if I say no or yes and save the files restored in that case, the next time I start it for the first time, the same message appears. I have already emptied the directory C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\autosave, but that does not help either. What else can be the reason for this? I am a bit disturbed by the message.
