Find & Replace Tool for Affinity Designer
Giggly replied to UkeyD's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
I can simply open my Designer files in Publisher and use Publisher's Find and Replace. It works perfectly well for me. You can switch back and forth between all three applications to use features specific to each. -

Find & Replace Tool for Affinity Designer

Once you go to File > Edit in Publisher, then go to Text Find... which open a Find and Replace dialog box in the Right Studio. -
I noticed a massive jump in Publisher's memory usage from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3. A file that I work on nearly every day using 1.8.2 only used a few hundred MB when opened in Publisher. When I loaded the same file with 1.8.3 memory went to over 5,900 MB. This is similar memory usage I saw using my older powerful Windows 7 computer with 16 GB RAM. When I upgraded to a new more powerful Windows 10 computer with 16 GB RAM using 1.8.2, memory usage dramatically dropped to the few hundred MB. I was super stoked that I could keep growing my documents without any apparent restrictions. The file has now been loaded for about 30 minutes and the memory usage just dropped to 155 MB. Stoked. Just did a simple cut and paste of a text box and memory use jumped back to 5,900 MB. Not stoked. Thinking this memory issue might cause problems for some folks. 4/6/20 update: I leave this document open since I work on it every day. This morning Publisher was only using 13 MB RAM. Currently, as I work on the file and save the file, which contains several art boards, RAM usage appears to have stabilized to around 650 MB. This is excellent and consistent with what I saw using 1.8.3. When I work on the file, CPU usage spikes up to around 30% and then drops back to around 0% when I stop working on it.

I see you created the global color swatch with a 50% opacity but you didn't show if you can adjust the global color opacity thereby changing the opacity of all objects using the global color. I created a second object using the global color. Changing the global color opacity only affected the selected object. But if you right click on the global color swatch and select Edit Fill, you can change the global color for all objects using the global color. The Edit Fill screen is below. It seems that putting an opacity slider on the edit fill screen would be a good solution. I also found some other Swatch weirdness that I would appreciate you looking at my last reply:
