Here's an illustration I made with Affinity Photo

In fullscreen, the protect alpha toggle is hidden under a dropdown. It seems like the program thinks there's not enough space beside the wet edges toggle. Please place it beside wet edges just as if the windows are not full screen and stretched a bit. Or at least enable us to move the toggles order. It's kinda annoying to have to do an extra step since I use protect alpha toggle a lot.

Hey alllosaurus,
What the slider backgrounds are showing is the range of variance available in the parameter with a controller applied. If you change the setting in the Dynamics tab you will see these background ranges alter.
For example, when changing the Size, the background shows the range of sizes that brush tip can achieve when using Size Jitter with Pressure.

@Ron P. Ah, you're right. But it still looks weird to me since it works differently while having the same color and shape as other sliders 😅 Not a big deal though

I have already requested, but unfortunately Serif is not able to make even such easy adjustments/repairs 😞
 

adding  pressure opacity control, this will make working with affinity photo way easier. i tries messing with the accumulation and flow control but it doesn't give me the affect i want.
making accumulation pressure control is not ideal since with low pressure because the accumulation is low i can see clear circles from the brush (doesn't blend well) especially with soft brushes (very critical for my work).
setting flow to pressure control will give similar affect to opacity control, but it isn't opacity control. coming from Photoshop i switch between opacity control brushes and opacity and flow control brushes so i know that there is a  clear difference between them. and the  fact that i cant use opacity and flow control brushes is slowing my workflow which make using this app very hard for me. in addition setting flow control to pressure sensitivity means that when i want to go back with the brush in the same stroke on something that i coloured (photo editing) the colour gets darker, that is not what i want from an opacity brush, i want to get an even colour.
also a welcome addition is more control over the hardness. when setting a brush at 0% hardness you don't get a soft brush like Photoshop and other softwares, the 0% hardness brush in AF the transition/blending between the brush and the background is too sharp (it is more like a glow affect). it would be nice if i can control the transition so i can make it look more soft without playing with flow control, because as i said Earler setting flow control to pressure sensitivity means that when i want to go back with the brush in the same stroke the colour gets darker.
 

Well, not quit the same thing. 
Now i just have to click Alt+R 54 times to go right and then go to the view menu and select Rotate Left 80 times to go left. 
We need a dynamic way where i can click crtl+r or alt+r and then drag with the mouse or wacom pen to the correct position. 
 
 

It would be nice if Affinity Photo also have an Rotate view tool like in Photoshop.
Click R or rotate button to rotate.

Hello moderator, I think I need a preset similar to the ps artboard, so that I can place the reference picture I want anywhere on the screen, without being limited by a artboard, it will be much more convenient, hope This feature can be updated, thanks😀

Both of these features are something I have come to miss after using Affinity for a while. While you can use Protect Alpha on some brushes, it is not quite the same as alpha locking layers, since doing that actually works on more than just brushes. I used the Smudge and Blur tools combined with alpha lock to avoid bleeding over my finished silhouettes, which I think would be very useful in Affintiy as well.
Edit lock just speaks for itself, but I'm doing it anyway. When you feel that you're done with a layer you should be allowed to permanently lock it to avoid accidental edits like brush strokes. I think this is pretty straight forward.
