Joachim_L Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Never had to do this with APu before and had to go an extra mile to achieve what I want. 1. I had a three pages (non-facing) A4 document with text frames linked throughout all pages. 2. The manual was a bit too small on A4 so wanted to combine the three pages in a 50x70 cm landscape document. 3. I copied all page content one by one to the new document. Result: The complete text was copied three times (for every single A4 page) into the new document. So I had to decide to make new text frames or deleting text. Wouldn't it be nicer copying all the elements and breaking the text flow per page? This is how it is working in ID (CS6). Simply relinking the frames would be much faster than deleting text out of the frames. Or allowing selections across multiple (non-facing) pages. Something else I noticed: Imagine 2 pages each having 10 elements. Zoom out a bit, select everything on page 1 with the mouse. Top left in the toolbar you get the information that 10 elements are selected. Now hold the Shift-key and click an element on page 2. Now you get the information that 11 elements are selected? How is that? To my knowledge you cannot select across multiple pages? Now cut / delete the selection. Only the clicked element on page 2 is deleted, but the toolbar is saying now that 10 elements are selected.

You can do this with 'Document > Add Pages from File'. This adds all pages at the end of the new document and you can rearrange all text frames on the new page without loosing the link between the frames. Afterwards you delete the imported pages. d.

VJS Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 All three times, and I responded to the first two. Figured the third time would be a waste of time, both mine and theirs. I didn't notice, but I think it just went to Apple. No separate request from Affinity. Does Apple share the info with developers? I always just assumed they did.

I've never been sure if anyone at Serif looks at the dumps that are automatically submitted. Usually, the Serif staff here in the forums seems interested in whether the reports were created, and if so (and they need them) they ask for the user to upload them. I think that for the purposes of discussing a problem, there's no good way to find one of the automatically submitted reports, and be sure it is related to the forum topic,.

VJS Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I won't be at that computer for another 8 days, but I'm assuming if I try the same thing it will crash again. I could then copy that crash report and attach it if it would help. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
