  1. Haven't found any topic on this. Is there any plans improving the Styles Panel similar to Text Style or Table formats and adding features like: - adding the option to edit the styles, - option to update the style by current selection, - ability to apply the style to selected group (only possible to apply to object but not the group), - maybe add a current document category, This would improve the linked editing capability of all shapes with the same style. For instance it would change the curve width or color of all shapes sharing the style. For instance if there are a lot of icons. Now you need to select individual icons in the publisher document and change them one by one. Thank you for any info.
  2. Dear, I'm a beginner in Affinity Publisher since this weekend (;-)) coming from InDesign. When I create new style, everything went well until suddenly a white or tab space was added after the first character of my sentence (see screenshot1). This style was created from a parent one and when i asked the difference, I just see "Character fill" (see screenshot 2) but I don't know what it means. What's the reason ? The Origin ? Can you help please?
  3. I am working on converting a daily diary entry into a book. This means I have 365 dates (the subheadings) on the document, and I want to change the style of all of them into a specific one. I know how to change the style on 1 date, and then just click on other dates one by one to change them also. But is there a way to change them in bulk? Otherwise, it's a lot of work ahead.
  4. I went back to an old book to update it. I don’t know where this ‘Character outline: none; Paragraph decorations: off’ in addition to the Normal style comes from. How can it be removed? Thank you for your explanations.
  5. I recently opened up a Publisher file to create a new version and noticed one of the fonts (Marion) was broken. I eventually got the regular version to work (I moved my fonts to my User folder instead of the main Library folder) however, it still does not recognize the italic or bold versions of this font. I tried deleting and downloading the files again, but nothing changed. I thought it was a Publisher problem, but Designer does not recognize the alternate versions either. I thought it might be a TTF vs OTF problem, so I downloaded OTF versions, but neither Affinity app sees anything but Marion Regular. I tested in TextEdit, and it sees all variations of the font. This makes me think it's an Affinity problem, not a font file problem. I'm running Publisher 2.2.0 on Mac OS 13.6. I need these alternates to work. Help!
  6. Could the style picker get a checkbox that allows you to reset (unload) the style each time you invoke the tool? I prefer to start anew, because when I activate the tool, I often need to change the style of a different object that has a different appearance. Making this a checkbox would allow people to use the current behaviour if they like/ need to. Desired tool interaction The idea here is that if you hit the hotkey assigned to the tool, or click the tool button with the tool active, it resets. When the tool is activated, but wasn't active before, it is already unloaded and ready to pick up a style.
  7. Currently, it doesn't seem to be possible to edit object styles. This makes it difficult to update a lot of objects all at once. It would be great if we could double click on a style to open an editor in which the object style could be edited, duplicated and saved.
  8. I would like to use the colour picker to sample the appearance (style) from an object on the canvas, which it should apply to the objects I have selected. To me that's easier than copying objects and pasting styles. The reason for this is that I can change the selection and then switch to the eye dropper rather easily. It's a workflow many of us have been using in Illustrator and when I switched back to Illustrator after having used designer for a while, I feel like I am missing out on this in Designer.
  9. I have a large document with some 250 pictures inside Picture Frames. I have decided to change the look of all by adding a color Stroke, and a rounded corner set at 2%. Is there any way to make these hundreds of changes in "bulk" - with one command instead of doing each manually? That would save me many hours of work.
  10. Is there a way to change or replace a created contour and fill style for all instances after it has been applied to many objects?
  11. One thing I have missed for a long time is the ability to copying and pasting individual Layer Effects. What I mean is that I have a set of Layer Effects which I have spent a long time tweaking saved in a Styles Group. And I have another set of Layer Effects which I've also spent a long time tweaking saved in Styles. I wish there was a way of copying some elements from one style and combining it with elements from the other style. When copying and pasting styles and effects they overwrite other styles and effects already applied to an object. Especially gradient outlines and overlays in the Layer Effects panel are a nightmare. There is no way of copying them as far as I know, and so the only solution is to make new gradients from scratch, which is enormously time consuming. It would be an enormous time saver to be able to copy, say an outline gradient from one object and an overlay gradient from another object - and of course other effects as well - on an individual, effect by effect basis. I envision an "effects palette", where you could pick for example the 3D effect settings from one object, the overlay gradient settings from a second object and the outline effects from a third object, apply them all to the object you're working on, and when you're happy with the result, maybe even be able to save the settings of this "palette" as a new style or as an "effects palette preset", where the individual settings can be tweaked further, enabled, disabled and combined with new effects picked from other objects and/or styles.
  12. Designer 1.9.0.791 on Windows 10 2004. I searched in the “Designer Bugs found on Windows” and “Designer Beta on Windows“ forums for “paste style” (without the quotes) but couldn’t find this as being reported. In version 1.8.5.703, I can copy the style of a layer and then paste it onto another layer using Paste Style and all is okay. However, in 1.9.0.791, when I use Paste Style the Stroke formatting is not applied. See attached video where the first half is what I expect in the current commercial release and the second half is what I get in the latest beta. 2020-10-19_12-48-18.mp4
  13. Hi We publish a monthly magazine using Affinity and it is produced by different compilers each month. I receive this to put it online but when I download all the titles are showing with a different one specified by the style that has been applied. (See attachments) I need to go into each text block and apply the style again. My question is there anyway to get the document to autoupdate itself so that it applies the styles properly rather than going into each box an reapplying what it should be showing? Thanks. (I did loook to see if this problem had come up before but couldn't find anything)
  14. The features can edit what we need with any size
  15. Hi, while working with text in Designer I created a style. Then while working with text using a different font and size I applied the style. To my surprise this added the style but changed the font and font size to the original style. Is there a setting I am missing as I extensively use styles in Photoshop because using 'scale with object' switched off does not work. Transfering the document to Photo together with the style, the style does not create the same changes. I love the Affinity products especially being able to try changes 'on the fly' but find little things frustrating. Can Serif get to version 2.0 so people have to re-purchase/upgrade the product so you can recruite extra staff to get rid of the niggles.
  16. Would be nice if you could add an option to sync style(font and size) between a text object and belonging inline text objects.
  17. Would be nice if you cloud add Pencil style preset feature that can save and switch stroke style quickly like vector brush.
  18. Would be nice if I cloud register only Layer Effects as a style. Sometimes I don't want to apply fill&stroke together and want to inherit them from the object applied a style.
  19. Hello, This instagramer https://www.instagram.com/ibdansch/ (ibdansch) has a stlye that I like a lot. But I simpley can´t achieve it. Also I have to say that I am a beginner. Could you maybe tell me a tutorial, the name of the style or some tipps & tricks to achieve this? Best Regards Magic Mike, The real one
  20. When defining custom object styles, AFD lets me create new ones only when I delete existing styles. For example, I defined a line style for a dashed line. If I also want to define a line style with a solid line, the 'Add Style from Selection' action does not work. Same goes for fill styles. In general, I would also expect there to be an 'update style from selection' item, which there apparently isn't, which should affect all objects a particular style was applied to, similar to global colors.
  21. Somewhere AP pulls TOC entries with an underline. Where from I dunno. Only if you set to "none" and enable it in the style properties it actually gets turned off. Screen_Recording_2020-03-09_at_15_09_44.mov
  22. Hello all, Something I have noticed throughout all three applications... When I use Indesign, I replace a word in a sentence and it replaces that word with the same font style etc in the box. If I do it in publisher, I loose the text formatting for the word in the box. I then have to replace the new word font with the current font in the sentence. if I do it in photo and designer the same thing happens. If I lay out an entire magazine, and have to change a single word in a paragraph, it should automatically replace the work when I paste it in, with the same font and formatting style that was in place. It should not replace the word in the text box with a random font.. Am I the only on that seems to find this strange.... Or have I missed a setting or a check box that stops this from happening in all three applications...
  23. Affinity Publisher: When preparing a publication I use at least 5 - 6 different text styles. After creating them I see only one at a time in style panel, so I have to move up and down to apply the desired style. How to expand style panel or make it autoexpandable. Thank for advice.
  24. Hello, I have created several text effects, which I would like to share with you. The first three effects are the most interesting. Effects one and two use live scattering filters and blur to create a stamping effect on normal text/fonts. The second effect adds a noise filter to simulate heavy wear, which is different one every letter. The third effect is the typical vintage 3D effect. The effects are created by layering several live filters and effects. 4 and 5 are just tests/bonus. :-) Advantage: The effects and the text remains editable. Disadvantage: Memory and processor have to work more. The recommended application is to open the text effect file in another window, enter the desired text and then copy over the group. Use the effects in your work as you like. (Public Domain) (But please don't sell the text effects as such.) Have fun, Martin Stamp-Vintage-3D-Text-Effects(Forum-Affinity-MartinB78).afphoto
  25. Is there any way to get the text styles back from Designer 1.6? I'm absolutely LOVING the 1.7 update and I'm grateful to not have to use Adobe but these 1.7 text styles are just awful. The ones from 1.6 were much better, even if there were only around 4 or 5.
