Since this seems to be the most recent open thread for this question according to Google, I am wondering as well.
When I paste text frames with multiple lines from Inkscape into Affinity Designer, they come in as individual lines of text, each on it's own text layer.
What I want (and I think what others are asking about as well) is to put these individual text blocks back together into a single block of editable text.
If there were a "merge layers" option on text layers, that would do it. But there isn't
A "combine text blocks" command would work too. Or even "create new text layer from selected"
I get that determining the order in which to combine these could be an issue. If they are all stacked up nicely like they are when they get pasted in from Inkscape, it should be pretty straightforward, but if they are scattered around the page it could be more ambiguous.
Still, I'd prefer to have a single editable text block with all the text in it, even with the words out of order, than to have to manually copy / paste many individual lines of text into a new block. Especially since it'd be fairly easy to undo the combine operation, quickly re-arrange the text layers' positions to get the order right, then re-combine.
I know you can link text frames in Publisher, but this is not linking, it is combining many into one. And anyway, that's Publisher and I'm asking about Designer.
Thanks!
