It's extremely frustrating, as an old-timer beta tester, to not even be able to really put the apps through their paces, but such is life (and I am certainly representative of the people who will buy this thing – and I will, anyway, regardless of how incomplete it is I am treating Affinity a bit like if it was a Kickstarter project – because a) I already bought the other two, b) I've been using ID professionally for almost 10 years now and c) I don't intend on leaving the DTP market any time soon).Īs for feature dependencies… Sure, we don't know exactly which are dependent on which, but we can take some informed guesses. And then there are users like me, who would be actively participating in the Beta if they only had the time. And you might have 10 very vocal users with a particular workflow who desperately want function A, but 100 quiet ones who have a greater need for B.įinally, it's hard to be sure that the users participating in the beta are representative of all the users who might buy the product later.
Some probably don't even visit the forums at all. Next, a practical one: Some forum users are very vocal, but others are very quiet. In my experience, voting by forum users doesn't really work well, although it certainly may make the forum users feel good about being heard.įirst, a technical issue: Some features must be implemented in a certain order, because they depend on each other (even if the users may not know that) or they impace (or are impacted by) other things being developed.
I'm used to adding a table from inside the text frame, so I only considered that approach. Until you said that it never occurred to me to do that. I think what frustrated me at first was that you had to start the table outside the text frame. However, for all of these, if you add more text it will continue to flow around the placed object, and you cannot (at this time) keep the object positioned with any specific piece of for your patient explanations throughout the forum. Without anchoring ePub isn't possible, and accessible PDFs become harder to achieve. I'm dreaming for a pro-level tool that is better/more intuitive than InDesign particularly for modern output. I'm sure they have a plan for it, I just hope it's sooner rather than later. While text wrapping is useful, it's not a substitute for anchoring. However, for all of these, if you add more text it will continue to flow around the placed object, and you cannot (at this time) keep the object positioned with any specific piece of text. Create them, move them on top of a text frame at an appropriate position, adjust Text Wrap settings. Use the Move tool to put it over the text frame where you want it.Īdjust Text Wrap settings as appropriate.Ī similar approach can be used for images, shapes, etc. But they cannot be anchored to a specific point in the text.Ĭreate a table somewhere outside the text frame. They can be placed into text frames already.
