Open File in Publisher? (split)


Recommended Posts

Is there an option to open file in Publisher if you work in Designer or Photo? Also, while in Publisher, if you choose Designer or Photo persona, other personas like Export persona are missing. Any plans to get them integrated without starting Designer and Photo separately?

It worked fine for me when I right clicked in Finder and choose Open With Affinity Publisher. Designer files also opened fine when I opened from the dialog box.

Yes, I know, that you can just open a file from a folder. I mean, we have such options as "File -> Edit in Designer" and "File -> Edit in Photo", but we don't have an option "File - > Edit in Publisher". If we had other personas like "Export persona" inside Publisher, that would be great. Isn't the idea of Studio Link that you don't have to jump between apps? That's why I am asking.

Okay. i thought you were asking about Publisher specifically. The open in Designer and Photo is just the buttons here as far as I understand. They just use the same interface now. The buttons are not in Designer or Photo. I think they are making Publisher the central app.

So, if I want to export an icon, I have to start Designer and there is no way to go back, except saving the file and opening it with Publisher from a folder? Can we have at least an option "File -> Edit in Publisher" added to Designer and Photo?

I think that would have been a bit odd before it released, but it certainly could be added. Not sure myself if it will though. @MattP was this considered yet?

I hope it will be ASAP because once a document open in Publisher has been opened via Edit in Designer or Edit in Photo, there is no way to go back to Publisher to save any changes made to it. Save in Designer or Photo saves the Publisher page as a new document, so that doesn't work. Critically, this means there is no way to save any unsaved changes made in Publisher to the document>:(

Also, since currently Publisher's Photo Persona does not seem to support third party plugin filers (like NIK), there is no way to use Edit in Photo for that & include those filter effects in the Publisher document that I can see.
