just curious but why have you started not using the usual quote - response format & instead use plain text for the quote & italics for your responses?
If I reply to a single point then the highlight/quote selection works ok
If there are multiple points then I tend to copy the post into a text editor and write the replies there
Just me being lazy -
So your principle would not detect "mine" as misspelled within a Dutch phrase? - Correct
If your text input has "to be certified as correct" (= does not contain any misspelled word): What is your use of such an extended dictionary? - If the Dutch is correct and the English is correct then there is no need for any spelling check at all

Copy
Paste Special/PDF
will convert the triangles to curves and reset rotations to 0 -
It happens if an Image layer is rotated and the Perspective tool used, the assistant kicks in, rasterises the layer and screws things up
Either rasterise the layer before rotation or use the Live perspective layer
-
How do you detect misspelled words in Dutch text if they exist in English? - As above but reversed, if a Dutch word is misspelled but is valid in English then no error will show, ie you don't.
And how do you choose a correction if both languages are listed*, for instance with "Theze uit finding is van mine allon" - That wouldn't happen if I were compiling a document with various languages; the quality procedure would require submissions to be certified as correct, I wouldn't rely on me and a computer program -
Affinity has interpreted the text as curves, run it through Ghostscript to produce a pdf and see if that's better, it's certainly smaller
-
Then all text in this frame is set to English - Correct
Do you see an advantage … or why do you try / mention this? - Yes, it applies both Dutch and English dictionaries. I originally thought I'd have to clear the C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\en_GB folder, add the Dutch files and rename to en-GB but then I tried what I've described and it works as shown
I assume this way spell-checking gets more or less useless, for instance for misspelled words in a sentence of one language that exist in another language / the added dictionary (with same or different meaning), for instance | mine - mijn - mein | mon - moon - mond - monde - mohn | etc. - Correct. If an English word is misspelled but is valid in Dutch then no error will show. But since my English speeling is impeccible I don't see a problem....

Is in your example just the selected frame set to "English" …
Yes. Text pasted in with Edit/Paste without format

In V1, anything added to
C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\en_GB
supplements the basic en-gb rules in
C:\Program Files\Affinity\Publisher\Resources\Dictionaries\en-GBHere I have modified en_GB files plus the nl-NL Hunspell files
Dutch ok, Hungarian fails, English ok

I've tested red=255 - no luck
Yes but what do you see? Please provide a screenshot of the K40W window when it fails, also provide the svg file
This is all a bit circular, my experience with windows:
Red can be 255,0,0 #f00 or #ff0000
Affinity svg's must be imported at 300dpi, even if the drawing was made at another resolution K40W will sort that out as images below show
K40W needs Inkscape to be available otherwise
Anyway, I am so intrigued by all of this that I shall pony up a monkey to see what I can do -

are you saying that I should have Inkscape installed on my PC in order to read a Affinity file?
I am merely quoting the K40W instructions. That it works with Illustrator files without Inkscape available is a mystery
A screenshot of your K40W window showing a loaded AI file would be interesting -
K40W needs Inkscape installed, see https://www.scorchworks.com/K40whisperer/k40w_setup.html para.3
My example above was created in Photo V1 as stated
It does handle #f00 as red - open Test One.svg in a text editor and note style="fill:none;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:#f00;stroke-width:1px;"Work at 300dpi with Affinity programs and select that when opening in K40W
-
I used https://www.scorchworks.com/K40whisperer/K40_Whisperer-0.64_win64.zip
Unzipped it into a folder, ran it, told it where Inkscape is
Loaded a simple file created in Photo and it appears like thisTried using 72dpi and K40 wouldn't accept it

Try changing the Stack operator from Median to Outlier
-
It can be done, sort of
Here's a yellow group of 36 rectangles, all 5w 560hTo change these to 9px wide do:
Turn off all other layers
Ungroup
Export svg with Flatten transforms unticked
Open in text editor
note <rect x="320" y="20" width="28" height="560"28 x 9 / 5 = 50.4
so change all widths to width="50.4"
Save file
Open in Affinity
Deep ungroup so that only rectangles remain
Note that the spacing is not quite right, probably rounding errors
Select all rectangles and align middle center
Group
Paste back into original doc, resizing W H X Y to match
Select one of the new rectangles and note width is now 9Or bite the bullet and redo it as above

What was the ~ the initial file/doc size for what you've recorded the macro with?
800x600
Of course I am daft enough to then create a 20x20 image and re-record the macro - same size
-
How on earth does a simple macro like that end up as 380.31KB?
For a laugh I recorded the same thing in V1 and it's 488.637

I think there's room for improvement

It would be interesting to ask the other Affinity users whether the 8-25 lens is available in their versions. I consider the raw abilities of Photo to be one of its weakest features, if I only had Photo for raw development I'd go back to shooting jpegs

It's Indexed color which I suspect is stuffing Photo
If you convert it to rgb with Imagemagick
magick Plus42.psd -colorspace rgb Plus42IM.psd
then it opens in Photo
Plus42IM.zip
