JoanKauai Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Hi, when I switch to the Vector or Photo Personas the Publisher replies that I need compatible versions of Designer and Photo. But I do have the latest versions of these. How should I proceed? Thanks, benoitc 1
HYR Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 The compatible versions haven’t been released yet. (1.7) They’ll come later in the beta.
sprkwd Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 That makes sense. And that is my question answered.
vonBusing Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 With the number of times this question shows up, I would suggest this could be a pinned thread in the forum. R C-R and KipV 2
Daltongang Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Agreed, this should be a pinned thread. Obviously this will be a much used and appreciated feature once Affinity Publisher is released.
Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 2, 2018 Staff Posted October 2, 2018 @Daltongang Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums Sorry, the Publisher bugs on Windows forum did have a thread pinned on this subject, but not this forum. It does now When we start the 1.7 Mac and Windows customer betas of Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo these buttons should enable. In the purchased version of Affinity Publisher these buttons will only enable (independently) with a purchased version of Affinity Photo and/or Affinity Designer of 1.7 or above < EDIT > Please see this correction < /EDIT > fde101, R C-R, Uncle Mez and 2 others 5 Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

fde101 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Out of curiosity (and anticipation), is there a rough estimate on how long it is expected to be before those betas are out - very rough, like this year yet, within the next 12 months, ...?

lexislav Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Reading designer file in Publisher results in some broken text, missing margins and guides. Is this known issue and would be targeted eventually in feature betas? Is that related to older file format?

benoitc Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 yeah I was wondering also what was the issue. thanks for the update! Attached is a screenshot to show the whole issue.
jhmdigital Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Sorry, just catching up here.

In the purchased version of Affinity Publisher these buttons will only enable (independently) with a purchased version of Affinity Photo and/or Affinity Designer of 1.7 or above" Perhaps I'm not reading that properly but does it mean that those of us who purchased early versions of Affinity Photo and Designer will not get a free update to v 1.7 enabling those buttons? I seem to remember that we were promised free updates for two years but honestly cannot remember when that ran from. Was it the time we purchased, or the initial introduction of the alpha programmes? Let me stress I think they are all amazing value, especially with the fantastic support Affinity provides, and will be quite happy to purchase updates . Just would like clarification. jmwellborn 1
Staff MEB Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Posted October 23, 2018 Hi jhmdigital, All users who have purchased Affinity Designer/Photo will have the respective buttons available in Publisher when released. So if you bought both apps (Designer & Photo) you will be able to access/use both buttons. If you only purchased one of them you will only be able to access the respective app you bought. This feature will be available from version 1.7 and above - which means you will have to update your existing apps (Designer & Photo) to v1.7 (for free as promised) to be able to use them with Publisher (when released).

Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Posted October 23, 2018 My initial information above was incorrect, sorry. We have decided not to enable the additional personas in the Affinity Publisher free beta with the customer beta builds of the other desktop applications (ADe & APh), so my earlier post is now misleading. However the (free update) 1.7 release builds of Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo will enable the equivalent Affinity Publisher personas. jmwellborn, Oval, A_B_C and 2 others 2 3 Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

HYR Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 @meb should Publisher's "vector" and "photo" personas be working with the latest 1.7.x betas of Designer and Photo at this time?
Staff MEB Posted November 21, 2018 Staff Posted November 21, 2018 Hi HYR, No. Only the final Photo and Designer 1.7 versions will work with Publisher personas buttons. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Aaron Martin Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Hi MEB, This means that publisher will have access to all features in Photo Persona but not to Liquify and other Personas. Correct?

Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 19, 2019 Staff Posted February 19, 2019 The other personas are simply not active at the moment, but they will not have the full functionality of the other applications and their additional persona, no.
