Footnotes support in IDML import

[Pedrober]

I can't use Apub 2.0 in my Mojave machine (an i7!) but I have downloaded the Windows trial version and it works in my very old Windows machine. I have discovered that footnotes are not supported in IDML import when Apub 2.0 has that feature (at last!). Please update the IDML support with the new features.

Thank you for flagging this up.

I don't know if there is a better way to 'bump' this request for IDML support importing footnotes, but its a +1 from me. I have ten days left on my InDesign subscription, so if you could do it by then I can be free of the tyranny of Adobe. Hurrah!

After buying Affinity suite the other day I was happy that footnotes etc was added to version2.  I cannot use Adobe InDesign anymore and my CS6 version does not work on the Mac OS Big Sur upgrade I did to enable me to purchase Affinity.  I was able to import all footnotes through MS Word no problem, but all update were made in Adobe InDesign, so spelling and grammar adjustments are lost and have to be done in the word file. Layouts done in past projects I did for clients and brought into Affinity by importing the IDML files has left me with a sour taste in my mouth.  Footnotes do not come along with the rest of the text and text styles into Affinity Publisher at all.  This is bad.  This is the very reason we are making the transition away from Adobe and being able to bring projects into Affinity if there are future updates to books etc that need us to open the original layouts within Affinity.

Please, please, please Affinity, update the IDML import ability to enable footnotes, endnotes etc to be intact and into Affinity and bring it up to scratch.  This is very important.
