Staff AdamW Posted November 16, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 16, 2020 Status: Beta Purpose: Stability and General Testing Requirements: Purchased Affinity Publisher Mac App Store: Not submitted Download: Download Auto-update: Available --- Hi, We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.0.850 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 significant update from the 1.8 version available for purchase - we strongly recommend that you do not use this beta for real work as data could be lost and the files you save are not guaranteed to open in previous or future versions of Affinity Publisher. --- Fixes And Improvements Updated to work correctly with new 1.8.6 Mac App Store version. Fixes issue in Build 843 that prevented this. Universal build, so includes Intel and Apple silicon code Fixed possible crash applying Picture Frame properties Opening a template from File > Open or Drag and drop will now open it as untitled Filter Effect Dialog - Enabled the use of global colours --- Release Notes for 1.9.0.843 Release Notes for 1.9.0.829 Release Notes for 1.9.0.822 Release Notes for 1.9.0.801 Release Notes for 1.9.0.796 Release Notes for 1.9.0.742 --- To be notified about all future Mac 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 SillyWalk, Jon P and lepr 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Christner Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Downloading brushes could be more intuitive. So I registered the beta, then went to download the brushes. They appeared but there was no explanation as to what to do with them. A download or install button would have been nice. Otherwise a brief explanation of where the brushes belong (i.e., which app) would be helpful. Still confused about it, and since I closed the window, I can't figure out how to reopen it.

A download or install button would have been nice. Otherwise a brief explanation of where the brushes belong (i.e., which app) would be helpful. They appear in the application you just registered, and they're installed automatically. For Publisher, they would download/install only if you also have Photo beta and/or Designer beta installed and linked to Publisher. But if you do have one of both of those applications the brushes will install in the relevant Persona in Publisher. (Photo, if you're taking about the Luminance brushes.)

That's good to know. My original point was that the process could be more intuitive. Is there somewhere that I missed that explains what you just told me?

Go to the main menu, click on "My account ..." to open it again. Once you are logged in you can select which "packs" you want to install or remove from your computer. At the moment there is nothing to do but to install and remove this one brush set, but I'm sure it'll get more useful, once all the kinks are ironed out and it's released publicly. Currently there's no documentation or explanation, but given the limited functionality (log in, log out, install one brush set, remove one brush set), I think we don't need one yet.
