Mac App Store: Not Submitted

Auto-update: Not Available

---

We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.1.952 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 from the 1.9.0 version recently released to all customers (although it still installs parallel to the released version, as described above). We recommend that you use this beta in preference to the store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

For the way too small UI icons that have been fixed, thank you!😎
But we still have some tiny wee icons in the Layers panel.😟
i.e for Text layers, Adjustments layers, Filter layers & Masks.

I see that too. Running Catalina 10.15.7 if that matters.

I bought Publisher today, and encountered this problem very early on (below). This beta has not fixed this fault. It is not a problem that exists in Publisher 1.8.6. (downloaded and tested today too).

I posted this in the forum earlier today.......

 

Hello to the group - I am a very new user (today), I do have experience with Quark though. This is looking like a great application and will suit my needs better as time marches on. But I do have a query, if anybody can help. I have a sample of text typed into a text frame (as per the image). I want to change the paragraph attributes (space after, space before etc). But if I type in a new figure into the attributes panel it will not apply the adjustment and simply defaults back to the shown settings (supplied defaults). I can adjust leading with no issues, that works perfectly. I can add drop caps but only with the default settings, if I change a drop cap default setting is reverts back to default and will not 'stick'. I can add tabs to the text box via the text box ruler, but again if I try to add tabs in the paragraph attributes it will not work. These attributes simply will not alter and stay altered, almost as though the commands are not getting through and reverting straight back to defaults. Am I missing something obvious here at all?

 

I am on Mac OS10.9.5, I appreciate this is an older system, but it is listed as compatible. Currently, due to other software, I cannot upgrade the Mac OS.

 

Many thanks.

@Richard A J

Welcome. As your issue is not new to this beta it is best dealt with in your original thread. This thread is for discussing things that are specifically different in the beta.
