Staff AdamW Posted March 8, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 8, 2021 Status: Beta Purpose: Fixes / Improvements Requirements: Purchased Affinity Publisher Mac App Store: Not Submitted Download: Download Auto-update: Available --- We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.2.998 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 1.9.1 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. --- Fixes Document / Spread setup Document size presets create incorrectly sized pages if the Document DPI doesn't match the preset DPI Business card templates shouldn't be facing page New Document Templates are now alphabetically ordered Fixed bleed / margin colour tooltips Import / Export / Resources Fixed being unable to download full resolution OpenAsset images Improved Brush and Asset categories alphabetical sort options Fixed crash choosing Add Pages from File with 'After Last Page' selected Replacing a scaled Picture Frame image wasn't maintaining placement Convert to Picture Frame does not use default saved settings, cf Convert to Text Frame Renaming then re-linking a cropped PDF or AF document scales the un-cropped document Missing Content Status for placed PDFs Placed PDF Page Box / Maximum Content calculated incorrectly Add Pages from File could handle z-order badly when moving page content Renamed Export Area 'With background' option to avoid confusion. Fixed other Export UI inconsistencies Prevent overwriting a Package on document close Fix for Export More > Preset menu being disabled Text Added Preferences option to normalise text breaks on copy to clipboard Unwanted auto-correct capitalisation caused by exclamation and question marks Inline text objects should not have Text Wrap options enabled Text Style Editor > Next level should use "[Same Style]" rather than "[No Style]" Active text Selection on pasteboard not always drawn correctly Decrement paragraph level would sometimes find the wrong previous style Fixed potential hang moving pinned nodes If spaces are overset, squeeze them up to keep the caret within the frame Performance improvements generating text wrap shapes in complex cases Table Format Panel previews always rendered as RGB Hyperlinks to Anchors can point to incorrect Anchors if Anchor name has been duplicated Paragraph Decoration has no "inherit state" when used as "based on" style Alignment context toolbar options for table cells don't work Hyperlinks containing spaces at the end of the URL broken Hyperlink button can be incorrect disabled Anchor dialog doesn't display correctly on older macOS Edit Text Style dialog list truncated on Big Sur General Fixed Assets and Symbols transforming when dragged onto resized Artboards or Groups Fixed Live filters that have any position controls being broken on saving and re-opening the document Guides added via Guides Manager are now clamped to Spread size Master Page Guides could be applied incorrectly when a Master is applied to only one page of a facing page Spread Transform panel ignores ruler origin in line mode Showing a studio page should unhide the application UI --- 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 firstdefence, 000, dcarvalho84 and 7 others 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I actualize the image, it remains it’s size, but not it’s position within the picture frame. In Versions 1.8.6 this works fine.

In Versions 1.8.6 this works fine. @AdamW @Jon P Same goes for Replacing placed PDF files via Resource Manager. They don't keep the size, nor position. Also when replacing a resource that is placed multiple times, only one is replaced, the rest of placed images vanish and Publisher displays only empty frames. When replacing with Replace Image button in the context toolbar, all the images are replaced, however they change the size (keeping the position though). Been like that since 1.9 release. It's a pretty nasty bug for a DTP software 😐. Bug Report (reported for Windows but the same issue occurs on macOS).
