Running OSX Mojave and Publisher 1.8.1 Was creating a sign using the Architectural 18x24" template. Saves an empty file and gives me a warning that save failed and I should contact Affinity to report. Attached Screen capture. Also empty file... Saving under a different name ended up with the same problem. I was able to work-around by exporting the file to a .psd file. That appears to save correctly. I was able to load the psd file back into Affinity Publisher and save it successfully as a native afpub file. No Trespassing.afpub

Thanks! I just ordered the SSD and enclosures, so we'll put it to the test soon! Very pleased with the Affinity apps! I'm a long time owner/user of CS-3, mostly Photoshop and Indesign, and it's been a huge drag to worry about whether the next version of Mac OS was going to render them useless.

I have a late 2013 iMac running MacOS 10.12.6 and am currently running Affinity Photo and Publisher. My internal hard drive has started to slow, and rather than pay to replace it, I'm thinking of purchasing a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure and running two external hard drives: a 1 or 2 TB SSD, which will become the boot, application, and active documents drive, and an 8TB data drive which I'll partition for Time Machine and deep backup for a variety of things. The latter will replace a series of slower USB 2 external drives, which are also annoyingly slow. My goal is to get another year's use out of this machine, which with 24 GB of RAM, has served me well. My question is what I have to do move the current applications, presumably to the applications folder on the external ssd. At this stage I'm not looking for detailed instructions, just principles. Do I transfer manually, or try to clone parts of the existing boot drive using time machine or something else? Thanks~

Really? There's a great deal of conflicting info on the web about this. Many complaints from folks who upgraded and can't run it. Any thoughts on why it worked for you? I've been reluctant to move to Mojave from High Sierra as a result. What's certainly clear is that CS5 won't run on the next MacOS, which will drop support for 32 bit apps. IND CS5 is 32 bit, I believe, which is why I'm exploring Affinity Publisher. For simple documents, the PDF import seems to work quite well for IND docs that were exported using the Adobe PDF presets (e.g. high quality print). Not so good for complicated documents, though certainly much better than nothing. I have a 62 page ebook: here's a sample page. On some pages the headers were recognized; on others, like the attached screen shot, it merged the header and the part of the first column of text. Because the header was merged with the initial text, first column right margins weren't preserved. New text wanted to flow even with the right margin of the header, not the column. Text chaining wasn't preserved either, though it's pretty easy to restore. For minor edits, this is good enough to fake it. Not so good if I wanted to do a major revision to a section where pagination needed to change. From my perspective, importing from an IDML file is much less useful than INDD. I guess I could go through and try to save many of my legacy documents in IDML before moving on. But my concern is what to do if I needed a document after I've made the jump to a later MacOS, and can't load Indesign to create the IDML file.
