Text Wrap outlines/fields offset entire columns in legacy files

[Ravager Zero]

Pretty much what it says in the title.

Publisher 2.0

MacOS 12.6.1 (Monterey)

Loading a file from an old version of Publisher with linked .afdesign docs throws all sorts of weirdness at me. Text is offset, jumped down frames, egregiously halved, and so on. See the attached files for more (meant to be a package, plus a couple of screenshots of the issue).

I've tried opening a number of files, and all of them show the same issues.

EDIT: Apologies about the mess of files; not sure how to upload a package set/folder to the forums.

Another report of this

I realised I'd posted in the wrong forum there (actually couldn't find the topic after a while, assumed the mods had moved it).

I also saw I hadn't put in nearly enough details, or appropriate examples.

Hi @Ravager Zero,

After opening your .afpackage file and re-linking all your .afdesign files in Pub V2 i'm not experiencing the same offset/text issues as demonstrated in your screenshots, everything appears to be fine within your file.

However, I noticed that I can't open your .afpackage file in V1 since it was saved out of V2, therefore I would like to request if you could upload an .afpackage file that has been saved out of V1 which experiences this issue, so I can then try and replicate this issue when opening it in V2.

Best practice for uploading would be to save your .afpackage contents to a folder as standard, and then right click the folder in finder > 'Compress [FileName]' and then upload the zipped file to the forums.

Many thanks

To be honest, I'd forgotten about this after going back and re-working the file manually.

I re-saved everything as Affinity 2.0 standard, and that fixed most of the issues.

The rest appears to be around grouped items of dissimilar types without innate text wraps. Sometimes it will generate the correct wrap profile, and sometimes it will create a few points off page that throws text everywhere—but it's inconsistent, so sadly I've got no examples of that one on hand.

Thanks for looking into it at least.

PS: Could it be that the links' metadata was broken/damaged by the upgrade to 2.0?
