Public beta of Publisher for iPad?

Is there a way to either clear out styles which seem to accompany new-table creation, or to impose existing Document styles onto the table? As I typed, I got this weird pink italic style - not a style of my creation. I tried selecting the entire table, then clicking on the style I wanted - no help. If you had a truly large table, having to correct that cell by cell would be tee. dee. uss. thank you for any clues about this.

Does this work in 2022? Can’t seem to make it happen.

My bad..I whiffed on that question. Yes, after the restart, I resumed work on the same file which had just taken an unusual amount of time to save, and found that subsequent savings took the usual amount of time - for this file, a few moments. Thank you

I did a restart after seeing the abnormally-long save. Had to force quite Designer, but my changes had been captured. Thank you!

You are both quite right…thank you!

Screencapture shows the two corner points I’m working with. The right one will round using the Corner tool; the left won’t. It appears to be just one point. Object is a curve. Any clue what the issue is? Thank you CantRoundBottom2Corners.afdesign

Thank you, Dan. iPad Model: 12.9” iPad Pro 2nd Gen; iPad OS 15.5; Save Location during delay: iPad > Files > Affinity Designer Pallet_iPad_Better_Perspective.afdesign

I’m working on a file that’s about 77kb and is not complex: few shapes, no gradients. I just Saved and the spinning gear and “Saving” have been on the screen for several minutes. Given that this is a small, relatively simple file, what could be the reason for this unusually long save time? thank you

sounds like a wise position. Thank you, Walt.

So…is the speculation that only the latest iPads will be able to run Publisher, or we just don’t know?

I looked for that file, but can’t spot it. I must have continued my trouble shooting, and gotten some answers about what I was seeing, and modified the file. If I see this issue again, I’ll capture a clip straight away and post it. Thank you for your help! EDIT: I just tried to re-create the issue by building a similar file with 3 layers, noise on one of them. I can not reproduce the problem, either. Might this be one of those things that happens when the iPad is due for a reboot?

Last night, I wandered over to the Serif / Affinity home page and saw - new to me - an announcement that Pubisher for iPad is “Coming Soon.” This to me is as solid an indication as could be. It’s been hard to wait for this because Affinity tools are so freakin’ good. There’s just no other way to say it. The wait will prove worthwhile, as sure as water is wet.

By holding shift on an iPad keyboard, you can draw horizontal or vertical straight lines with the brush tool. Is there a way to draw straight lines of any angle with the brush tool? Thank you Nevermind again…holding the shift key then tapping seems to do it.

When you’re in the iPad version of Photo, how do you know when you’re zoomed-in at 100%? Found it. Navigator.

Ok…good to know. WYSIWYG, at 100% zoom. thank you, NotMyFault

Awesome!

When I apply the Noise filter to an image in Photo for iPad, I see one level or amount of Noise in the preview…then, upon pressing “Apply,” the resulting noise is much less, and this is after selecting 100% Intensity. I’ve experimented with all of the controls for the Noise filter and I can’t get any better (to me) result than the one shown in the clip. Can anyone share insights as to why the preview shows one thing, but the final result is so drastically different? The character of the noise itself is fine; I’d just like to end up with the same degree of noise I see in the Preview. Thank you Noise Changes.mp4

If Affinity Publisher for iPad is coming soon, that is seriously excellent news. ”wibbly wobbly timey wimey” made me smile…thank you for that. I’d like to use that in future, with your permission, of course…

What’s more, I can’t get this file to export as PNG with that texture; the resulting PNG is the flat light blue color. I’ve tried flattening, rasterizing. Same result: flat blue without texture. File is attached to this post. Thank you for looking. 12 x 18 Medium Blue Texture.afphoto

This is weird to me…when I tap 1 time on the top layer in the clip, its noise becomes visible. When that same layer is not “active” the noise disappears. Is there a reason for this? Thank you Noise Layer Issue.mp4

My bad 100%. The illustration in question was rotated slightly…when I was working in it I could’ve sworn the illustration was squared in the viewport, or however you want to say it. Apologies for the for the false alarm!

Is there a preview or wireframe mode in iPad Designer such that you can view the art without stroke, fill…just the geometry itself? Thank you

Any thoughts on what could explain this? Thank you. DownArrowMovesObjectAtAngle.MP4

Yeah that does sound pretty reasonable..Had a hunch it might be something like that. Other similar pairs of lines I can get to join, so I must have inadvertently done something to the ones I can’t join, like close them.. Thank you!
