Staff AdamW Posted June 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 11, 2019 Status: Release Candidate Purpose: Improvements and Fixes Requirements: 64 Bit Win 7 SP1 / Win 8.1 / Win 10 (>=1607) Download: No longer available Auto-update: Available Hi, We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher build 384 (RC1) is now available as a download from the link above. To be notified of further updates please press follow on this announcement thread We are very happy with Affinity Publisher 1.7 and are moving towards the final stages for launch, but would still urge some caution with respect to using this version for critical work as it is still possible we may have missed something that may cause you issues. That said, please note that we aren’t done yet - we are still working through reported bugs and hope to fix as many as possible before launch. After launch we will start a new Customer Beta for those who wish to have early access to on-going updates and fixes. We hope you enjoy the product, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread. Any problems actually using this version please make a new topic in this forum and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Please feel free to leave general suggestions and comments in the Discussion Forum. Many thanks for your continued feedback. ---- Fixes / Improvements Open / Import / Export Publisher now offer to convert Artboards to spreads for Photo documents as well as Designer documents Warn before Export / Print if there are linked resource issues Fixed PDF Export issue with zero height lines Fixed RTF Export issue / crash when copy pasting text from Publisher PDF Export - Fix for Greyscale export of RGB documents / placed RGB images (Win) Fixed "Export text as curves" for EPS export (Win) Fix for documents with facing pages always showing Page 1 when opened Tools / Panels Better handling of Convert To Curves for text frames Fix crash with localised swatch names Fixes for TOC Panel layout on windows Text Selecting text with keyboard would switch between pages at the wrong point Fix crash when deleting path of Path Text Tweaked attributes for text inserted after line break Fixes for updates to Global Colours used in the StyleSheet Fixes for Baseline Grid and Vertical Justify when text Baseline Grid text attribute is not set Fixes for Bullet / Numbered List text UI Fix for duplication of Pinned Text nodes (Win) Font traits aren't always correctly highlighted in dropdown (Win) Fixed Detach Paragraph from Text Style Tables Fixed hang editing Tables due to rounding errors when fitting text Decorations fixed for rotated text in Table Cells Fixes for Cell selection issues Resource Manager Better management on selection in Resource Manager when working with resources Images Fixes for Posterize adjustment --- Earlier Release Notes Beta 376 mykee, psidre Felix, Nadir and 9 others 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Great job! May I add my name to the (hopefully!) HUGE number of people wanting you to add 'footnotes' at the earliest opportunity. AvesNoctis, Santiago Oviedo and Frozen Death Knight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuller Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 May I add my name to the (hopefully) HUGE number of people wanting to say Thank you for creating a sensible alternative to the Adobe/Quark domination of DTP! My collection Photo/Designer/Publisher is now complete. All I require now is a vector warp tool in Designer Feel free to have a break for a couple of days and then I'll gladly test your 1.7.1 beta with said tool!!!

JDub Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Excellent to see the FC1 of this, just as I wanted to tackle something a little chunkier with it. However, I see the persona buttons STILL don't work. When pressed, it references the fact it's a beta - I thought it was meant to be FC1? I'm running .384... Am I missing something??

John T Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Thank you the fix in 384 has resolved my spell check error where it was checking a page of text and dive off somewhere else. Also without changing any settings the spell check is now learning and saving new words.

Rick G Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Setup failed and needed a reboot to reinstall the program which had been wiped out by the attempted upgrade I really hope you get this fixed before you roll out the final version. It was fixed for one beta some time ago but then broke again. It only happens with Publisher Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skumba Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Updating to this new version has left me with no access to PUBLISHER. The Icon is inaccessible, as is the Folder in C:\Programs I cannot delete this folder even as Administrator. HELP PLEASE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mili Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hello! I love Publisher, it's working well, I only have one problem. It would be great if you make possible hebrew letters order (from right to left). Now the letters are turning the wrong way when I'm copying text with hebrew words. Or I don't know something about the functionalities. In this case, please help Thanks Nadir and pointery 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygoe Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Installed the beta 384 on Windows 10.1709 (yes, it's old). Publisher wasn't already installed but I did have it installed earlier on this system. Everything went well. Startup worked, I shortly tested linked text blocks with some decorations and text flow around an image. No problems at all while moving things around on the page. For anything else, I'd probably have to watch tutorials first, or spend more time exploring on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Lock hunter which installs on the right click menu and will unlock or delete locked files and folder. SOMETIMES it can only do it by rebooting https://lockhunter.com/ There is also unlocker that does the same thing but the installer throws virus warnings.

The buttons for Designer and Photo will ONLY work in the release version of Publisher and with officially purchased copies of Designer and Photo and with CUSTOMER beta's. It will NOT work in PUBLIC beta's... Quote from Patrick Connor: "be aware I said customer betas, those released after we launch to preview fixes and more new features. The PUBLIC betas 1.7.0.376 won't ever show those personas, indeed it will stop working." Patrick Connor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
