SF1 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Good morning, After the latest update of Affinity Publisher, I'm no longer able to use the Edit Detached function. Despite clicking it on, and the appearance of the orange dialogue box telling me that something is detached, I'm unable to change anything. A box appears around whatever item is selected with the Xs in the frame-corners. Help ASAP, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NilsFinken Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hi, SF!, Also in the latest Beta (1.8.2.603) pictures continue to unexplainedly end up below a master page layer, but at least you can reach them like this: Quote Lenovo laptop with Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 Home.

I don't dare to ask you this: Are the levels in question possibly locked? Master levels can be locked and unlocked at any time - even without detachment. You can recognize it by the lock symbol on the right edge of a level. SF1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you describe what you do in more detail? By default, when you place an image, it ends up above the selected layer (if no layer is selected, then at the top). Works well for me, it seems.

SF1 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) No, Michail, they aren’t locked. Behaving AS IF locked, but (& I thought I *stated* this before, apologies) dialogue boxes show that I’m in the editing detached mode.

carl123 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 @SF1 Can you upload a sample file or a full size screenshot showing the layers panel and an object you can't move selected Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 I will see if I can replicate it later today. Since I originally posted a couple of days ago, I’ve found that it’s not happening consistently, only intermittently, and that Publisher froze and crashed once while in the Edit Detached mode.
