Does anyone know a way to make the background gray levels within Affinity  Designer for iPad  consistent, so it looks the same even when you create a new artboard?
Right now, the gray gets a lot lighter when I add a new artboard to my document and I cannot seem to find a way to make it darker. 
I’ve attached a short recording of my screen to illustrate the problem.
Thanks for any help! 
 
Also, Affinity Designer doesn’t remember my settings within the App when I close and open it again.
I normally have to turn on snapping every single time I lunch the app, it’s become a small annoyance.

Exactly man, I was tempted to request StudioLink for the iPad platform but realized that may be too much of a stretch😄.. I assume iPadOS could make such a feature near impossible to implement for real time applications..
 
 Still would be nice to have though!
 
 Like having one giant App for everything!

Oh yes Sir!
 
I do use photo when working on Fully Raster based edits sir,
it’s just much of my vector design work also requires incorporating images too, and I was already used to doing basic sharpening operations right in my design tool from my CorelDraw days without having to switch to a full fledged photo editor and switch back in for such a small task.
 
Because It did save quite a lot of time sir! 😄

Wow thanks! 
This is super helpful!
Appreciate the trouble you put into this, 
Many thanks!

Since you asked, I think it's more appropriate to use Photo when working with images

To simplify your life, the attached file contains all filters. 
To use it from Designer (without need to switch to Photo), you could:
place the file, and copy the required filter into your document, or Add all filters as assets to the asset library. Unfortunately they are all shown as grey, making it impossible to distinguish. So you may need to add a sub category for each filter, or group the filter with a text showing the filters name. I fully support your request.
 
PS:
Warning to Windows users (10.4): Adding filters to assets could crash Photo immediately, and damage the asset library. This bug does not occur on iPad.
all filters for designer.afphoto

I agree that more filters for designer for iPad would be great; the iPad versions are not connected in a trinity of apps such their PC equivalent are, therefore changing apps for simple task is frustrating and time consuming.

Currently have to go through the hoops of using Photo for simple image sharpening operations..
A inbuilt sharpen filter inside of designer would really be helpful. 

I’m surprised it didn’t have it already..
 
 What do you think?

@serif, you really think this is okay? Come on... Desktop version has background color adjustment for artboards... we really need is for the iPad version.

Lol, I think it’s done to annoy us iPad users 😉

Nice, seems like an okay workaround, but it would still be nice if this were just natively the case.
With as amazing and complex this app is, I can't imagine adding an option to change the background color for artboards is a very high inertia development task 

But there is a way to adjust artboard gray level on Desktop, is there not?
Can we PLEASE have a darker background option for using artboards on the ipad?  I often design late at night and it really hurts the eyes to have the whole screen white (bright gray).
This is my number one request for Affinity iPad, please please please can this change

File management is still somewhat  not very helpful and actually  counter-intuitive sometimes (like having ‘close’ instead of ‘delete’) .. it definitely needs work.. 
I have a lot of projects I need to backup right now and I’m here learning all those documents weren’t really saved but just there in the app’s sandbox ? 😨
 
Files App would have been much handy here for some file management batch operations but alas, it can’t access the sandbox .. (was hoping to find the ‘unsaved’ files in there)
Affinity must realize more and more people would use these apps professionally ( they built them to be that capable ) so these half thought-out file management solutions can’t cut it anymore..
 
Imagine the horror of having to manually save all the projects I have , recreating the folder structure inside of Files before finally being able to make my backup, I have quite a lot of projects 😨
 
The current solution is NOT very helpful..
 
This guy describes what it’s like to work with files created by affinity apps right now,
couldn’t have explained it better..
 
though positive-toned , reveals how the current system is just not reasonable..

It really needs work,
Help us 😩
