I cannot fathom how this is now 4 years in the making and still no action, considering this is such a hygiene factor. This is one of the reasons that makes it difficult to motivate a continuous use – of any kind – with Photo and I rather just revert to Adobe CC Suite DESPITE having both Affinity Photo AS WELL AS Affinity Designer installed.
I often even go for Designer directly without even bothering with Photo cause I know it will iron things like this out in the export. Number of times I have properly used Photo is zero (ok, half a time, does that count?) while Designer has helped me deliver year after year – and this is after 5 yrs with both licenses. Not once has Photo delivered due to stupid basic hygiene problems like this.
That's why I constantly go back to the Adobe CC subscription anyway, at the end of the day it just gets the problem solved and the delivery out there, not like Photo where I have to struggle to get even basic stuff done.
FRUSTRATION.
For that reason I want to give this a serious bump up here in the comments.
