The creator of that database has said that he does not have time to maintain it anymore. You are a commercial entity using that database, and apparently it is open source as well. Why don't you put some effort back into the community and update it yourselves?

🤣🤣🤣
This is from the company who brag posted "ain't nobody acquiring us".
I hope nobody trusts a word of this. It's literally from the VC playbook:

It was good while it lasted. Where do you plan to go now? This morning we had the sad news that Serif was acquired by Canvas. Sad… the software that I spent time developing, loving, etc.
The big question now is: Where do we go from here?
I used Gimp for years, but when I discovered Affinity Photo, I realized I was moving from a small economy car to an Alfa Romeo.
I wouldn’t want to go back to Gimp, as I see that even in version 3 it is still far behind the current version of Affinity Photo.
And you, where do you plan to go?

Ah, just found the answer by accident... it's apparently "lock children", an option which appears when you click on the masked image. Still feels very backwards!
Also, adding to the unintuitive behavior, the transform rectangle is only sized to the original clipped area, not the actual image size, so moving it around is done blindly when it comes to finding the image boundaries...

I had to use my work laptop with Adobe Illustrator on it just now to trace something.
Really wish Affinity could get a solution here...

AFAIK such finer grade selections are only available on a nodes selection base (when using the Node tool for nodes selections), at least for ADe v1 ...

For common Move tool based curves selections there's just the common rectangle way with ...

... or via selecting curve layers via the layers panel. - Shift-Clicking for adding/removing curves from selections works Ok for me (as far as objects are big enough to be easily clicked on) and using Ctrl-/Cmd-D for dismissing selections.

I have this enabled, but it doesn't help.
Affinity Designer on iPad constantly thinks me putting my palm on the screen means I want to rotate or zoom around the view.
I can't remember when this happened last in Procreate. It happens CONSTANTLY in Affinity.

It's still not enabled by default in 2022 and I checked both Mac and Windows versions.
My wife refuses to move from our old Adobe CS6 license partially because of this, which was the first issue she encountered and I had to come to the forum here to look up the answer. Ridiculously, rotating through the drop down menus only rotates the image by 30 degree increments (no idea why that would be useful). Also kind of silly that those buttons are only available in develop mode (I initially looked in the regular mode's customize options and got confused when I didn't see them).

Thank you, I did not notice that, and it's even hard to see once you pointed it out.
But I closed it now and it works.
Could the UX be better here, I wonder? Perhaps color the vertices red when selected while the corner tool is active or something?

Hi @eobet,
This is a bug with expand stroke on strokes with an arrowhead set, the issue has been logged previously so i'll bump it with your report. 🙂

Hi @eobet,
Looks like the curve is open on the right hand side where the two nodes are (turn off the fill on the curve and you'll see this). Use the 'Close Curve' function on the node tool with one of the nodes selected and then try using the Corner tool again.

Windows 10 is probably the last Microsoft OS I will install. The adware and spyware in 11+ is too much for me.
Counting software I use, Affinity (and one other piece of software) are the only remaining holdouts without native Linux versions. How the tides have changed!
+1 for official Linux support.

Ok, now I just don't have any words anymore...

(Btw, I couldn't get this working in windowed mode. It only behaves this way when the window is maximized in Windows 10.)

Thanks, but just the act of selection sometimes scrolls the layer panel to where the object originally were placed, and since there's so many of them, the scrollbar is just a dot so it's quite RSI inducing to scroll to the bottom still when that happens.
In the 3D world in apps like Blender or Rhino, there are menu shortcuts to send a selection to a specific layer, without having to aim or scroll. I was hoping that there would be something similar here.

@Bobby HendersonI just wanted to point out that to achieve a temporary zoom akin to Adobe's, you need to press Spacebar first and then Control key in any Affinity application. Coming from Adobe it somehow feels counterintuitive but it works.

@Bobby@walt.farrell maybe I didn't describe it accurately enough, but I understand perfectly how the zoom tool works and you are suggesting quite the opposite of what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is that it's convenient to access this function by a certain shortcut: when it's in the status "pressed", the animated zoom happens immediately, and when you release it, it automatically returns to the previous tool. It's especially convenient to set this shortcut to the mouse button, for example (below in the video how it works for me in Illustrator).

Got a new laptop and attempted Affinity only for a while... had to re-install CC within a day, I think. ☹️
It's sadly impossible to switch completely to Affinity at the moment. To many bugs and too many basic things missing.
Muscle memory and shortcuts didn't even have time to become an issue for me! 😂
(See my post history for the specifics, and am just about to post a new thing as well, when I find the appropriate thread...)

Ideally, this should be a modifier that can be used with a pen.
Alt + right click + pen drag = Resize brush Alt + pen drag = Color picker Control + right click + pen drag = Rotate canvas view I'm sad that the Windows version of Affinity only has the 15 degree rotations from a menu, but it's at least better than nothing.
