Adding PDFs etc. via "Add Pages from File"


Recommended Posts

In AfPub, "Add Pages from File" only selects .afpub files as suitable candidates even though PDF, EPS etc. seem to work OK.  Is this an oversight or are .afpub files handled differently?

That's not true for me, Ian.

Here's my Add Pages from File dialog, showing the kinds of files it selects by default:

Interesting!  Here's mine - there are plenty of files in the folder that could be added,

What release of Publisher? I've tried both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 beta.

I'm running 1.8.2.620 - I don't have the beta yet but I'll give that a go.  The files listed in your dialogue are the same as my Open File dialogue - yet they're missing from Add Files!

<edit>

The beta, 1.8.3.627, is exactly the same!  Strangely, I tried resetting 1.8.2 before I played with the beta.  It didn't change anything but, as expected, it wiped the recently opened files list.  When I installed and opened the beta, that list had been populated!  Maybe my PC's haunted!

The beta and retail releases are completely separate, and do not share any settings. If you had a recent files list in the beta I presume you must have had a prior beta installed, and you're seeing its list of recent files.

Agreed, except that I've never had a prior beta, and the list of recent files was definitely the same as 1.8.2's before I wiped it!  Needless to say it's changed after a reboot!!
