jmwellborn Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 I just began a new file. Created a text frame. Checked the Text Frame Studio. Ignore Text Wrap is checked. Even though I left it unchecked when I saved the .afpub fiddling file. So the default position -- at least in the MAC version of v. 140, appears to be the checked position. Meaning that each time one creates a new file and plans to use an image, one has to go in and uncheck this box.

jmwellborn Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Or here is an idea! How about a little brain in the software which understands that when one clicks on the Show Text Wrap Settings (in the toolbar) that one wants to have Ignore Text Wraps unchecked in the Text Frame panel. That way, one could then just adjust the wrap settings for the chosen wraps selection and they would show up in the document.

It would be useful to have someone else confirm that on a Mac It's not that I doubt you, but It's an unlikely default for Serif to have chosen; and It's possible that you had a text frame with that option active when you last told Publisher to set its defaults (Edit > Defaults > Save). (In fact, if you're willing to experiment, you might try Edit > Defaults > Revert (or even, though I have less idea what it should do, Edit > Defaults > Factory Reset), and then see if that's still the default for your text frames. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwellborn Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Great idea in theory, but it didn't work. Edit>Defaults>Revert was entered. The file was saved. The file was reopened. There is the click mark on Ignore Text Wraps. Just the way it is when I open a new file. Hopefully the Affinities will be able to figure this one out.

Perhaps my version of 140 is just sick of Peter Piper and the pickled peppers. You would have needed to Revert the settings and then create a new file to test my theory. But it sounds like Old Bruce has confirmed it. That's a terrible default, and perhaps a bug in its own right.

It was never supposed to be on by default. We'll fix in a future beta. Changing the setting automatically would not be right, because the object whose text wrap settings you are editing is different to the object you want to wrap around it. It shouldn't be necessary when the Ignore setting has the right default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RM f/g Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ran into the same problem today, text wrap setting just didn‘t work. Text wrap of placed AfPhoto file set to ‘Jump’; “Ignore Text Wrap’ in text frame settings off. The other placed AfPhoto file with same text wrap settings on the same page wrapped jus fine. The solution I found is to just click Text > Text Wrap > Edit Wrap Outline in the menu and text wrapping jumped to the desired shape. Can't explain what happened, but I‘m glad it did. That's beta 1.8.4.561 meanwhile.

Ray_S Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi, I too was struggling with the same issue, being relatively new to Affinity Publisher. The below steps solved the issue for me: Select the image within the text frame. Uncheck "Inline in Text" from the Layer Menu. See screenshot.
