Although I replaced my graphics card since my last post (1050 Ti to RTX 3060) I think there has been some optimization done, since this is the CPU usage while only moving the cursor over the testfile now: Drawing on a new pixel layer is now much smoother too, whilst still being zoom-dependent.

But only for the MSIX Installer Version, not the MSI/EXE Version.

To add a node in the middle between two nodes I would just use "split curve after selected node".

Yep, "Linear Burn" it is.

I think the most simple way would be to duplicate the layer, set the layer mode to multiply and rotate the gradient by 90 degrees.

And there's the problem. When I add a pixel layer and try too draw, it gets very choppy. And it also depends on the zoom level from usable at a low zoom level (7,5 %) too unusable at a high zoom level (100%). Added a video to demonstrate this. HighCPUvid.mp4

Got exactly the same problem on Windows. Histogram arbitrarily stops working.

Since it's a very old problem on Mac and Windows with foreign language fonts cluttering the font list as mentioned in many threads like these: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/105413-hide-foreign-language-fonts/#comment-568576 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/176769-hide-windows-fonts-that-are-set-to-hidden/#comment-1017054 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/72704-would-like-an-option-to-hide-system-fonts/#comment-378131 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/123803-want-to-remove-noto-fonts-split/page/3/#comment-1017261 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/98225-can-you-remove-junk-fonts-from-publisher/page/2/ Why not add a hide fonts tab like this: Of course one could add all non foreign language fonts to the Favourites tab, but every time you add new fonts for another project, you have to add them to the Favourites again. With hidden fonts, you just hide the unwanted fonts once. This seems to me like a simple approach to this problem.

If you set any file to always open with Affinity Apps in the Windows File Explorer, Affinity Apps change the filetype for that image file format to "Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher File", making it impossible to sort files by type in the Windows File Explorer. Other programs don't do that. (old thread) I was happy to see this was changed in Version 2 (I had installed the MSIX Version). But now with 2.1 (MSI Version) this was changed back again to the old behaviour. Is this different between the MSIX and MSI Versions? I'd prefer to use the MSI Version though, because of some quirks the MSIX Version has (can't drag files on the Affinity Apps on the taskbar to open etc.).

Since it's now possible to have multiple instances of layer effects, wouldn't it be nice to have a checkbox for a global angle for those multiple effects? And wouldn't it be even nicer to have an independent offset value to change the angle based on that global angle? Currently it's quite annoying to change the angle for multiple effects on a complex layer effect. Here's a mockup:

I guess what mschwerer meant was having more than two pages side by side (by side) in the pages panel. Like a roll fold for example. more in this thread

A double-click on one of the four diagonal handle points to reset DPI to document DPI would be nice too.

Got exactly the same problem, lag after a while. And when i quit Designer then it keeps running in the background, still using the CPU like Hephaestus described in this thread.

Just change the top left colour and the others will follow. Interactive Colour Chords AP1.afphoto

Thanks ashf! Didn't realize I could just pull the tiny line.
