Hope this helps. 

Yes but it doesn’t offer Copy/cut.....it’s a ‘selection' based menu instead I.e deselect, deselect etc

I was talking to my audience, a student, who has not said it was an inappropriate reply, buy hey. 🤨
The youth are often far more careful who they give their email address to than what they follow on look at on Facebook.... I am sure he will let us know if he was unsatisfied with my reply to him.
No, sales are not necessarily announced here, this is a support forum. Offers discussed on Facebook are always reflected on our marketing site https://affinity.serif.com and Affinity Spotlight. 

FaceBook is optional app many do not have or ever want on there computers or tablets. I hope everything addressed there is available to forum.

I do not speak for Serif; however, any replies to this question has been, negative or no current plans.  

@Alfred still waiting...import swatches

I reproduced, first try, 27" 5K 2019 iMac today.  I would consider it a bug. Also should in Finder doesn't work or as I think it should, click and directory location revealed.

Still have my 10-12lb (5 kilo) boxes of the Adobe Master suites - only because buying its entirety was the best price (down the line when it was time to upgrade... I remember up front prices of $2799 and upgrade prices nearly ½ that in a year or 18 moths time! lol - I think I still have through 4 or 4.5 in their respective boxes. (I should also mention I've got FCP from v4 4.5 5 6 & 7 if I remember correctly, finally FCPX came in a significantly smaller case/box ((With a LOT less info)). I sometimes miss the 'books' to markup and highlight and learn a different way. Then again, I'm 50. lol.
To the Affinity team,
My hats off to you for all you've done - especially for mobile. as a macOS user as well, I enjoy a few of your apps cross platform (all possible actually ;)) - and each is definitely a 'replacement' for me, my business and family needs - and our charity events. My photography hobby, turned habit, turned part-time 'gig' has actually started to 'pay' - to the extent I purchased the new Canon 1DX3 and the Lumix GH5 from Panasonic along with a Pro Mavic drone for this summer's weddings, reunions, and events.... much thanks for Affinity! I've completely transitioned to design and publishing and so very close to my picture workflow. 
Unfortunately I rely heavily on the production side of the CC suite, making it still an impossibility to eliminate Adobe... right now;)
I have incredible faith in Affinity's team & hope they are able to mimic the CC suite's major apps in production; Premier, After Effects (I know, industry standard, yada, yada but rules are meant to be broken and Motion's not AE's successor... it'll come from a development crew like Affinity, a team who develops after listening to users' needs, wants, & ultimately, somehow builds an incredibly powerful 'pay-one-price' app (read: no subscription so support these folks even if you're a CC subscriber especially if you're a CC user, as it's as powerful, even more so in most cases on my iPad Pro 12.9v3 than the Adobe counterparts.)
IF you're (Affinity) able to do the same magic with video, motion & sound effects and wave editing (audio/video mastering for stereo to 11.2 and beyond mixing), a companion app to AffPhoto possibly for iOS and iPadOS w/macOS's continuity with possibly gradually added capabilities & features (matching the device, w/iOS concentrating on the camera/in field fast edits/posts, iPadOS adding speed, batch, more layers, faster rendering, and of course, the MBP power, thermals, integration w/GPU) ...all the necessities for a pro workflow and organization both for still and motion. I'm ready to spend a hundred bucks for each, and Adobe Audition - easily the most overlooked app in the CC suite is ubiquitous to radio stations the world over *(many are still using old copies of Cool Edit Pro ((owned by Syntrilium before Adobe's buy out)) thank God they've continued it's refinement, its truly the pinnacle of wave editing, mixing, mastering, analyzing, and even basic, 2-channel voice over music 30 second commercials, there's not a comparison on the market, in fact - I've seen XP machines running 1.5! 3.01 is commonplace! it'd be ((seemingly)) an incredibly easy coding project to build what the radio stations and podcast networks desire for their actual needs - we truly aren't doing anything different than the days of Otari 2-tracks and the God-Send of the Otari 4-track 1" tape!!!!)
Audition is an incredibly powerful program and every, I mean every single radio station owns a plethora of copies or is leasing CC copies per workstation. As a programmer, Ive got a license on my desk in my office! One in each (of 6) studios (recording call ins for edit etc), and one in each production room. News room, 3 copies. News, Anchor and producer. GM, SM and OM have copies, as well as the engineer! That's at least 20 copies as I'm sure I'm missing some - or for 3.01, some $6,000 for licenses. Monthly, $300/$3600 year. Not. Bad. Cash!
Just a very profitable suggestion (perhaps some selfishness on my end, as I've spent thousands on the darn thing lol. Point being, radio guys aren't mastering 7.2 Hollywood blockbusters on BluRay, nor are we producing any bands' records in 2 channel @ 44.1/16 bits... we aren't mic'ing drum kits or singers - not EQ'ing guitars and basses or vocals. We are simply recording our vocals, possibly a 'canned' music bed and even more rarely a few sound effects that could easily live on tracks three and four in a multi-track environment. 8-16-32-128-512 tracks (IE Logic X, Cubase, PT's), 110% completely unnecessary. As is spectral analyzation - even 'markers', and the 'bad' effects Adobe supplies as reverb, echo, compression, Hi/Lo pass, et al.
I'm convinced as an owner of Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher these folks are on a run with momentum. To take noting away from Adobe, as they made the right transition at the right time by moving a significant amount of staff to the mobile development area, while establishing excellent communication with their desktop counterparts. Possibly from their previous experience from their and just recently moving to mobile or a a newcomer, Affinity is David. Adobe, Goliath.
Spend the cash if you're even a more than casual hobbyist I tell folks on your product, as even Elements and whatever their video editing deal is called is just a castrated Premier Pro and LR classic w/o any PS options to speak of - at least that you're not able to replace with a $3 app on Apple or Windows or Linux
 
So again
Thanks for your diligence and incredible work/updates and passion for your product/apps. I and I know many appreciate everything you do and are doing. Please keep up the most excellent work and don't hesitate to increase pricing to continue the pay a price, not a subscription. IAP's are cool for extra additions to editors; say video transitions, photo filters, layering limits or output limits, etc. If its $89.99 up front and a 20 dollar bill to unlock it all for the first month (up to $49.99 after promotional period) w/options for Individual unlocks; ads, N/D filter, external recording marks, higher bitrate conversion or different codecs, etc @ $2-$9.99 each - I'd pay every dime - and if I could code, I'd be the first to write Handbrake that's Handbrake usable by those without a four year bachelors degree in computer engineering, programming, networking and administration. Lol! 
Radio guys/gals are as dumb as they come - calling for an engineer when a reboot's in order.
Writing a basic wave editing program that would replace Audition (and its bazillion headaches) world wide in radio - on Windows, OS X, macOS, iOS or iPadOS, even tvOS or watchOS w/the ability to control the presentations, etc. I've worked with Auditon since the Syntrillium days of Cool Edit Pro 1.0 on a 3 or 486 with RCS - and its come a long way - but in a way not conducive to anyone. Its overkill for who its being sold to and those that would use it are already entrenched in the Logic/Sony/ProTools/Cubasis plugins etc.
An incredible example of a 'Win' in this are is for mobile DJ'ing. Serato ($699) and Traktor ($649) along with some proprietary gear, like ProTools and AVID were the pricing schemes when Algoriddim release dJay on iOS. Couple years later, dJay2, then dJay Pro - now its just called dJay, as they had also built vJay. The current build is maybe 8-10 years old, nearly as old as iOS. It's capable of running up to four decks of sound with zero latency for scratching, MIDI setup, video files and effects that sound phenomenal. The pads are fillable with incredible sounding effects - even on a 75,000 watt rig, live! The effects built in, fader and ability to add cameras to the existing audio and video files, then mix them is Star Trek schtuff! Check their app, then check the DAWs (digital audio workstations available in iOS, Android is tough to program audio w/o latency) - then if you've a copy of Adobe's CC suite, check out Audition and its underlying power - capabilities, and then think what a dip shit at the radio station's gonna use it for! To get outta the prod room as quick as possible!
 
Good Luck and keep it up

IMHO, he like's the current Serif products and makes an extended case for more Adobe like apps.  He introduce himself differently than most, so what, he took the time.

As meteorological Spring has arrive in the NH 2020 and the release of iPadOS AP 1.8.0, no implementation of import or export of color palettes.  Is there a possible fix soon?  I do realize I’m posting from a very old, rusty palette post request.

Walt, updated 99% to 99.1%. I was thinking saving your preset (file) becomes a Preset in Template folder.  Not as the two options Presets and Templates. Thank you, it’s a process.

Designer was used in this video and I’m pretty sure that the same workflow can be followed in all the Affinity applications but you will have to use the relevant menu choices for the Geometry operations instead of the Designer toolbar buttons.
Here’s a video showing you how you can make a tri-part circular logo like that in the attached image.
If you try it yourself, make sure you select the correct shapes for each Geometry operation, otherwise things may go wrong quickly.
You don’t need to add the shadow like I did if you don’t want a shadow. (I didn’t use the Inner Shadow Effect for the shadow as that ‘goes round the curve’ which doesn’t look right for this.)
As you will see in the video, using a Symbol lets you make changes to the colours very quickly. (Only Designer has Symbols but you don’t need to use them if you’re using another Affinity application, just duplicate the groups instead of the symbols.)

Desktop version process when you open New Templates, to a Add New folder, within Templates and two other options.  iPad, File, New Templates,  takes you to, or does so for me, to Files to search for a folder.  You cannot, in the same manner, add or save the Templates folder.

BTW, if you want to see more of how useful Affinity's programs are for my work, here is a link to more maps.

Sorry, brain freeze. Edit made.  I change preferences  from ROMM 16 to sRGB and problem resolved.  iPad Pro 6 gen, 210 GB free space.

Time Machine, external SSD, is always on.  The great thing I like and main reason I changed from Windows to MAC, cloud Based and Time Machine.  House burns down, Apple Store can have you up and running.  Backup everything important in cloud, external drive and if possible, external drive monthly off site.  All MAC App Store purchases are a click away.  Online/retail/product key, different ballgame.

Walt thank you, The bell rang when I read your post.  I guess I was confused as you can add Template folder AP Desktop.  It’s critical iPad to ensure you name and save all Templates to a folder.

That worked for me as App Store showed no updates.  I just entered Affinity Photo in the search bar, went to purchase page and changed from open to update.

I must say I purchased their ebook, as I’m a true supporter of their YouTube Channel tutorials. Ezra had to relinquish his teaching to his beautiful wife Ally, due to a public released medical condition.
i recommend their eBook and YouTube Channel.   
 

It is almost a year that I have introduced Affinty suite in my entire workflow. 
Affinity Photo has become the standard.
This image has been created with Starry Landscape Stacker (lately my win box with Sequator has some probs due to Microsoft updates… bah) and edited in AP.
30 shots of the sky and foreground stacked together, one shot at lower iso for the foreground and one with some light painting for the lake.
And a couple of mugs of hot coffee just to defreeze my… well  I guess you understand
Thanks for your precious time!

Please add your link, I search your name, no luck.  Your Affinity iPad knowledge is a great resourse.

The ball is in your court, 😊

@Paul Mudditt I wish you had a YouTube channel, not a Facebook or Twitter subscriber. 

Not me! I never make missnakes. 🤪
