Daniel Gibert Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Hi. Since upgrading to 1.8.4 Spanish hyphenation has not been working. Despite having hyphenation panel adjusted even to force it (up to 7 consecutive hyphens, zones to 0, prefix and sufix at minimal, etc…) not a single hyphen is generated anywhere. On language section on character pane, whenever I choose Spanish as Hyphen language, hyphen stops working. As soon as I choose any other language, it works. Just now i'm having to use Latin hyphen because is the most similar to Spanish rules. Crap, I get correct hyphen even with the English US hyphen dictionary. It is clear that there is something strange with the Spanish Hyphen dictionary. Also, app crashes if I mouse goes over AUTO on the hypen language drop selector. Ouch! Spanish: Not working English and Italian, works perfect. Quote
Staff Gabe Posted August 14, 2020 Staff Posted August 14, 2020 Hi @Daniel Gibert, I can't replicate this here. Can you open this file and see if you have any hyphens? Friday, 14 August 2020 at 13-52-57.afpub Quote
Daniel Gibert Posted August 14, 2020 Author Posted August 14, 2020 Hi @Gabe Not a single hyphen. They appear in any other hyphen language Quote

Staff Gabe Posted August 18, 2020 Staff Posted August 18, 2020 Same here. Any chance you can try the same workflow on a new user profile? Quote

Hi again @Gabe Just tested in a completely new user. It seem to work fine, so is a user related issue. Suggestions? reset publisher settings maybe? (how was it done?) Complete reinstall of publisher?

Staff Gabe Posted August 25, 2020 Staff Posted August 25, 2020 Very odd. Permission maybe? Try this and see if it fixes it. If you purchased from the Mac App Store could you try these steps please: Go to Macintosh HD\Users\username\Library\Containers\ rename the 'com.seriflabs.affinityPublisher' folder to 'com.seriflabs.affinityPublisher.old' Instead if you purchased from the Affinity Store could you try these steps please: Go to Macintosh HD\Users\username\Library\Application Support\ rename the 'Affinity Publisher' folder to 'Affinity Publisher Old' Quote
Daniel Gibert Posted August 25, 2020 Author Posted August 25, 2020 Still fail, but you gave me a clue and I've found the culprit. It seems a badly formatted dictionary for basque language was in conflict with the Spanish one. I examined the basque dictionary files and one of them was named es_ES instead of eu_ES. Your route to the library gave me the clue that long ago I installed a basque dictionary. Also, this also solved the issue of publisher crashing when selecting automatic as hyphen language. I hope this could help others in the improbable case anyone has this issue. Thank you very much! Going to advice dictionary author so it can check it. Quote
