NaulisJakke Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Patrick, thank you for a response. Dare I ask though: what is a ’long’ extension? Is there any sort of rough guestimate as to how long it will take? Years? Yours Jakke NCTQ and Sandy Rivkin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are always welcome to ask, but at the moment we do not comment on timelines for unreleased/unannounced new features, sorry. Suffice to say it is not in the current 1.8.0 beta and therefore I do not think it will be in this 1.8.0 release.

dambova Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 AfPub team, start using Publisher and I love it, it has friendly tools for flyers and posters and broshure, but when I start to layout book I notice there is no footnote/endnote.... I really want to switch using AFPub, is this going to be possible in the next versions, I read that in the next (1.8) will not be but maybe in a year... - Also I notice that when placing text tables and graphic from docx or RTF are not placed. It will be great to have them as embeded and pins. - I would like to have Cyrilic language dictionary to at least one language ex. russian so justification, kerning and tracking text, hyphenation on Cyrilic word be the visually smooth. I will be great styles placed from docx or rtf to be more compact, but this is maybe because of cyrilic language.

A_B_C Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi dambova, and welcome to the discussion … As you know, Cyrillic isn’t a language, but a script system. If you want to add a Russian dictionary (or a dictionary for any other language that is written in Cyrillic letters), there are some threads about adding dictionaries: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/97445-how-can-i-install-russian-language-for -character-language/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/64826-hyphenation/ Hope that helps. By the way, it is advisable to make new threads for feature requests, as they may be overlooked otherwise. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrrhine Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'll add my vote for endnotes function too . J@HWC, aleclerc and Pyanepsion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTQ Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Snap. Going to have to boot into my old Sierra external drive and fire up InDesign for a book project that has footnotes and endnotes. Shocked that this isn't a feature yet. J@HWC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris McKay Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Agreed. If endnotes / footnotes are not out by mid 2020 I'll have to revert to inDesign. My timescale driven by a technical book in preparation. Chris NCTQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarcos Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm quite new to the Affinity products, but I can say that right now footnotes is what I'm missing most. I've seen there's already a predefined style to include them manually, which might be ok if the book only has a few footnotes and you use symbols or numbers for a single page and not sequential numbering for the whole document. I suppose endnotes would do as a kind of workaround and might be easier to implement and make some people happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevMoose Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I just left Adobe InDesign because I was convinced that Affinity Publisher was a program with just as many great features at a much more manageable price. I am a retired clergyman, a published author who has published a number of articles and essays and am working on my third book. Imagine my consternation when, just a few minutes ago, I discovered that Affinity has not figured out how to include them. In reading on Google there are all kinds of promises that it is on the way and excuses that managing the size in a way that allows it to expand with the size is creating an insurmountable hurdle. InDesign, PageMaker before it, Coral Draw, Microsoft Publisher, etc., all of which I have used at one time or another, have all got it figured out. If you wish to be a useable resource for writers then this needs to be available ASAP. I could migrate back to Adobe, but am loathe to. They are only interested in large corporate accounts - which I am not, and which I imagine the lion's share of your customer base and your anticipated customer base are not. Please (now I am begging), add this feature soon! J@HWC and PetraV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaak Hillen Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I will fire Indesign on the moment that Affinity Publisher starts with decent foot- en end notes. So far I am very convinced of the other features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaulisJakke Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I had Indesign in my Creative suite edu version, the last one before the subscription policy of Adobe. With advancing MacOs versions it became less and less reliable and news about Affinity Publisher were a new and glorious promised land. But then it began: postponing of the launches. But I thought that I'm in no hurry because I had to to write my thesis first. But what was my serious mistake was to imagine that since the launch took so long we were going to get a fully operational product. I don't really get this - isn't footnotes/endnotes such an elemental part of a publishing software that you don't get to call it a publishing software without that? I mean, because Affinity Photo and Affinity Design are so professional I took it for granted that Publisher was to be launched to that same high-end level. But now, we are starting a new circle of waiting with no idea how long this one's going to last. It is so frustrating to be forced to resort to a subscription of InDesign.

Thanks Only Serif knows their plans and priorities, and they generally do not announce upcoming changes ahead of time. The new functions just show up one day in a beta release. We have no idea when they plan to release footnote support. It could still show upi in1.8.x, but might not appear until 1.9 or later.
