Staff AdamW Posted March 26, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 26, 2020 Status: Beta Purpose: Updates and Fixes Requirements: Purchased Affinity Publisher Windows Store: Not submitted Download: Download Auto-update: Available --- Hi, We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.8.3.627 is now available as a download from the link above. If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry. This beta is an incremental update to the 1.8.2 version recently released to all customers (though it installs parallel to the release). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below. --- General Fix for AutoSave Fixed issues with live filters making layers disappear Fix for embedded documents not rendering at specific zoom levels Fix for crash pulling out groups under an image frame Boolean Operation fixes Fixed possible crash saving documents containing embedded documents if there was a colourspace mismatch Via Layer Panel, linked documents were being opened as embedded and edits were not being committed to the linked file Shift-Invert selection behaviour with the Move Tool was broken Resource Manager 'Collect' could collect multiple copies of the same placed image (Mac) In the New Document dialog, 'Show in Finder' wasn't working for top level folder (Win) Font Manager could be launched with Resource Manager (Win) Fixed crash cycling through justification options in a table (Win) Floating (undocked) panels were collapsing too small and clipping content Page Management Fixes for page operations that required spreads to be split Page objects could be incorrectly rescaled when master page was resized Text Filler text is now copied to clipboard as the expanded text rather than as '<FillerText>' Unpinning a node can scale it incorrectly Fixed crash copying mixture of filler text and regular TextTool Text > Upper Case could crash if the selected text was already Upper Case Copy-paste Arabic text from docx comes as Chinese in Publisher (Win) Some lines weren't correctly indented when using right align and right indent Import Empty (0K) files could crash the import process Export PDF Export was not honouring gradient map's colour space PDF Export images downsampling to the wrong DPI under certain circumstances PDF Export was failing with placed documents in LAB colourspace PDF Export of placed images makes more effort to preserve their colour space PDF Export fix for export of objects with empty clipping paths --- To be notified about all future Windows beta updates, please follow this notification thread To be notified when this Publisher update comes out of beta and is fully released to all Publisher customers, please follow this thread SrPx, Wosven, StuartRc and 12 others 9 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanPickup Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Can someone just clarify for me the fix to AutoSave and what this actually means, there is nothing in the help file, when searched for it just takes you to preferences, but nothing in there to explain it (unless I am missing something)? Is this in the event of a crash so that you can recover the work, or the prompt if you try to close without saving?

AlanPickup Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Got confused with it saying AutoSave rather than file recovery, which I know as been asked for in previous threads Alan Pickup Windows 11 Home all Affinity suite of Apps PC and Gigabyte Laptop 16gb Ram and Nvidia GTX1660 Super on each.
