CatLady Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the term "GM Preview". What does that mean, please? Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gold Master is the version they're planning to release. The terminology probably comes from the recording industry where it described the physical object that would be used to press/stamp the new retail copies. -- 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...

CatLady Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I had a HARD time finding the latest Windows update for Publisher! After maybe ... 40+ minutes wasted? ... I finally somehow clicked on a "Publisher bugs" link and found it. Guys, would you PLEASE make it easier to find the latest download? The link in the message box that comes up when one loads the program, that says there's a new update -- doesn't go to the place of the download for Windows. Maybe I'm dumber than most folks, but I'd bet others are having problems finding their Windows downloads, too! I didn't expect to find "Downloads" under "Bugs". That somehow seems ... inappropriate.

Thank you! I've been searching off and on all day with little useful help. So frustrating. Now I need to see if I can find what you found. Is this for something newer than .384 for Windows? Maybe I should just wait until tomorrow for the full release. Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh Sorry I didn't see your post sooner! IF it still works after release on June 19, it was here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/58-report-bugs-in-publisher-beta-on-windows/ I found it by clicking the "breadcrumb" at the top of the page for the Mac download; the "crumb" that was for forums for publisher. In that page was a link "Report bugs in Publisher beta on Windows". Inside that page was "Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.1.399 (GM Preview)" Edited June 19, 2019 by CatLady Correct wrong info on which "breadcrumb" to click to find the latest Windows download of Publisher.
