noxdiurna Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Hi. Since the last update, apparently I am having an issue with guidelines. When I try to pull down a guide line from the ruler, it just won't show on the page where I wish to place the guide line but I actually find the line on the first page of the book. Otherwise, very promising software like the rest of your suite and I am intending to make our next catalogue and publishing projects on Publisher.

Morgoth Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Guides appear when dragged out but only show in the ruler and not on the page.
Staff Chris B Posted January 14, 2019 Staff Posted January 14, 2019 Hey Morgoth, Have you got 'Show Guides' disabled in the View menu? If it is disabled, they won't show on the page but you will be able to see them in the ruler. Dragging out a new guide will re-enable 'Show Guides' to make them appear. If that isn't it, I'm not sure what else is might be causing this. I'll have to do some poking! How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials

Staff Chris B Posted January 15, 2019 Staff Posted January 15, 2019 I've merged both threads. Am I correct in assuming that you can get this issue to happen on a new document or an existing one? If it only happens on an existing document, I'd appreciate a sample document I've had another go this morning but I still cannot reproduce it.

Panchdara Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Yup, very strange behaviors with guides. Seems, repeat seems, to be somehow affected with multiple pages. It looked alright (initially) with a single page, but when using guides on pages 2-> then weird behavior where the guides sometimes show and sometimes don't. I even had it where the guides manager showed guides from another page. Reproduce by creating a 2 page doc. Add guides on page 1 then play with guides on page 2... sometimey.

If it only happens on an existing document, I'd appreciate a sample document I've had another go this morning but I still cannot reproduce it. I've just created a brand new document. It actually seems to be a problem that only occurs with documents with multiple pages. The guides seem to be placed half on the current page and half on page 1. In addition, vertical guides do not even display the markers on the vertical ruler. IsabelAracama 1
Chris_K Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 It seems that every time it places a guide it is setting page 1 back as the current spread instead of the one you are on so it is basing the next guide placed off page ! then it will setthe page your actually on as current spread and allow you to place a guide then it will switch back again and so forth I shall get this passed on to the development team Michail 1 Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com

A_B_C Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Will this fix be available for the Mac version as well? I just noticed the same issue with guides not being able to dragged out with previous-version multiple-page documents under macOS Sierra.
Steps Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 @noxdiurna Can you add the tags "1.7.0.206" and "1.7.0.221" to indicate both versions as affected by this problem? Thank you.

Panchdara Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 So I refer to the announcement of 221... this is still an issue with multiple pages. Easy to recreate - create new document with 2 pages (or if you prefer n pages where n > 1). Guidelines on page 1 work just fine. However, on pages n (n > 1) these guidelines are flaky, sometimey, unpredictable. As Michail shows above. Oh well, that's why is a beta.
Steps Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 It was not mentioned in the changelog. So there is no reason to assume it should be fixed in 221. Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

Sylva Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'm having the same issue with the guides. Sometimes dragging a guide from the ruler works, sometimes not. It seems to work less with vertical guides. "Show all Guides" is enabled, happens in new documents and old documents. Windows 10. Publisher 1.7.0.206 Otherwise it's a great program and miles better than Quarkxpress 2018.

IsabelAracama Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Hi! Is this fixed? Cause I can't place guides over my spreads. They disappear. Can't imagine what else to do, but I'm pretty new with publisher. Mac version 1.7.3 Thanks. isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials
