Incorrect Page Thumbnails after hiding a Master Page Layer

[walt.farrell]

Recipe:

1. Create a new document
2. On the Master Page, create a new Layer: Layer > New Layer, giving Layer1
3. On the document page, in the Layers panel, right-click on the Master Page layer and choose Edit Detached.
4. Expand the Master Page layer, and select Layer1
5. Add an object to Layer1 on the document page.
6. Click Finish to end Edit Detached mode.
7. Switch to the Master Page, and in the Layers Panel, hide Layer1.

Result: The object disappears from the document page, but the page thumbnail in the Pages panel is not updated.

Hi Walt,

Thanks for the well reported issue, I've logged this.

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Incorrect page thumbnails after hiding a master layer) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

• Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Windows
• Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Mac

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version.

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.
