Using Assets


Recommended Posts

When I pick up an asset (phone symbol) on the master page - symbol plus phone number for bottom of page. It works well on master page but on subsequent pages you get the master page and a sploge of the set icon that cannot be removed. maybe it is me but it might be a bug.

Hope this helps as Publisher is another great Affinity program!

Check the layers panel for a page with the 'sploge' on it. I have 115 copies, Coffee Cup, on mine smeared from the top corner to where it was placed. Good catch demimaderek, by the way I have always spelt it 'splodge'. The number of repeats increases with the length of time you take to place it and the path the splodge makes follows your cursor's route. Plus it may not disappear after removing the item from the Master.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

A follow up: If I remove the item from one of the pages it will be removed from all of the pages and the Master too.

Thanks - will try these - obviously an interesting bug.

Early morning here. This gave me a laugh: "...an interesting bug."

Hi guys,

Do you have a document and/or screenshots? I can't seem to reproduce this at all O.o I'm not sure if we've inadvertently fixed something?

I checked first thing with 139 and it seems to have been fixed, I really tried to reproduce it and was unsuccessful in all attempts so I stopped. I'll look to see if I have any of the old files or maybe I could go back to an earlier version and recreate it if you want.

I wouldn't worry about going back—you've probably got better things to do and I can do this for you. I've only just noticed the original post was 2 weeks ago otherwise I'd have tried it before asking :/ If you run into it again in any current builds, let me know.

Trying out "Assets" iOS12 in Publisher beta 206 leads to the message "missing fonts".

I can reproduce this and I'm sure I've seen this before. I'll pass it to the team for you. Cheers, Puck.

Wow, that was a very quick response! Heartfelt thanks Chris.

Cheers :D

Hmm, I've just realised that the assets were made in the Apple System font which we don't supply and isn't a usable font on macOS/Windows. I believe a long time ago we discussed this and it meant the assets would need to be redone at some point to use a universal font that is used on macOS and Windows.

Is this downloadable on windows? and if so, how do you do it?

There’s a pinned thread near the top of this forum. The first post to the thread includes a download link. :)
