Hello! The problem I'm encountering is that Affinity Designer V2's select object feature doesn't work like V1. For example, I want to select all the SHAPES in my document, I use the SELECT > SELECT OBJECT > SHAPES command and it only selects the shapes in the highest hierarchy. All the shapes that are masked inside or children of another shapes would not be selected. IMG 1: I created a dummy file consisted of multiple rectangles and curves IMG 2: SELECT > SELECT OBJECT > SHAPES IMG 3: All shapes (except the ones nested / children of the parent shapes) are selected. MY SYSTEM: - Macbook Pro M1 - MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 (c) - Affinity Designer V2.1.1 WHY FIX THIS: - The feature ain't working the expected way. V1 doesn't behave this way. - I use this feature because I work on complex vector art which require me to do multiple masking. If I need to make sure that all shapes with rounded corners are baked, selecting shapes this way would save a lot of time. - This behavior ain't isolated in SHAPES. Other categories are affected as well as long as they're nested. I hope this issue gets fixed ASAP. MORE POWER SERIF TEAM!

Affinity is quite finicky when it comes to creating slices. Every value of your object's transform (X, Y, W, H) should be whole number. If there's a decimal number, Affinity will round it up and add an extra pixel. Ex. You have a square with these transform values. (X = 0, Y = 10.6, W = 50, H = 50). If you generated a slice from this object, there's a high chance that the slice generated would have these values (X = 0, Y = 11, W = 50, H = 51). Aside from objects, your artboards aren't exception from this behavior. Check the transform values of your artboards. If you're working on an artboard with decimal in its transform values, all the objects inside will generate slices with rounded up values. Regardless if the object doesn't have decimal transform values in itself.

I know this is Affinity Photo's thread but I have this same problem for Affinity Designer. Seeing the object type helps a lot in my workflow as well. Maybe adding an option to turn it on as text rather than small icons.

What Mac are you using? I'm using Macbook Pro M1 2020. I have 8GB RAM and 512GB storage. Running on Ventura 13.2 I have this problem whenever I export slices in Export Persona. I have this issue even in V1. I thought my 8GB RAM doesn't just cut it specially I have large nested working files. - To combat this problem, when I'm about to export, I save my file first. And then restart Affinity and reopen my file. Most of the time it doesn't beachball this way. - But if it did, I force quit AD and then reopen it. AD will restore your file and will automatically open it for you, but DO NOT export from here. Close it again and restart AD. Then just proceed to exporting your file. Sometimes I forgot to do this process and succumb to the beachball 😑. Sometimes it doesn't when I'm working on a small file. I hope they fix this issue soon.

Yep I think it's a bug but somehow served another purpose. 🤣 I discovered it when I pasted multiple objects behind another object. It seemed that "insertion > behind" will also apply to the objects in the clipboard. To avoid this, I group the objects before pasting it behind another object. Now this bug sorta works as "reverse layers" feature. XD Still works in V2

Ooh. I didn't know you could do that. XD

I found a "workaround" on resetting the bounding box for the following objects: GROUPS: Ungroup then regroup. Skew, rotation, and bounding box will be reset. SHAPES: It's impossible in itself but you can place it in a group to have the bounding box reset. CURVES: Use an operation on your OBJECT. For me, I create a small rectangle and place it on a curve that I want to reset. I use ADD operation on them. Do take note that if you have round corners, they would be baked. I suggest that remove them first, and then reapply after resetting the bounding box. Also, the NEW OBJECT would have the fill and stroke of the OBJECT UNDERNEATH. In my example, it used the green fill instead of the red. I do hope that Affinity would have a simpler way to reset the bounding box permanently, but for now, these workarounds would do.

Sh*t. I didn't know you can do that. Thanks a lot.

Yeah this would be awesome. Even just the ability to change the color of the path would be a huge help. I'm currently working on a project that is mostly color blue so it kinda sucks that the paths were blending in with the actual artwork. What I'm doing to solve this problem is I'm working on grayscale so moving paths would be more manageable.

I do hope that this will be implemented soon. I work on a lot of symbols and I want to delete large quantities of them.

For anyone still having problems with this, my co-worker discovered a workaround for this. You can just select all kinds of objects then apply Scale with Object. Go to: Select > Select Object > Pick a category here > Then tick Scale with Object While they're are selected, you could also Scale with object the FX as well.

Hello Everyone, I don't know if anyone already know this yet but I'll share it anyway. I'm using Affinity Designer 1.7 1. Select everything you want to reverse the order 2. Cut it (Ctrl + X) 3. Enable "Insert behind the selection" or go to LAYER > INSERTION > BEHIND 4. Paste it You can see that the order of the objects are now reversed. :D

Please work on this Serif. Include the resizing of rounded corners as well (without having to bake the corners).
