Mods, could we have a 'vague complaints' section added to the forum?

Thanks for noting the issue 😊 Reporting that it still seems to be an issue in 2.6 💔

Let me try summarize some of the complaints here, actually explain the issues, show them visually, describe the requested behavior, and even list some temporary workarounds. Allow me to demonstrate doing this in a polite manner expected of working professionals, speaking to their product provider. 1. Move Tool - selecting objects in groups is difficult The move tool has only one drag modifier, which now toggles intersection behaviour - users would like auto-select behaviour so they can hold a key to select objects within groups. Solution1 : set Auto Select to 'objects' beforehand - this is a bit clunky and a modifier key + drag would be nice. Solution 2: Consider using the node tool. This pierces through groups by default. Tapping V / A is quite quick once learnt. Solution 3: Jump into wireframe mode. This also pierces through groups. Tapping Y is quite quick once learnt. 2. Layers with masks use 'Base Box' instead of 'Regular Bounds' The images below demonstrate the selection box differences between nested/masked objects, which users are struggling with. Select > Set Selection Box doesn't seem to work as expected based on reading the help guide under 'selecting objects'. 🔶 Feature request: default selection box types per object 🙏 Eg. I want both masked and nested objects to default to 'regular bounds'. --- Having read through the rest of the posts, nothing jumps out as an actionable improvement to the product. Really guys, we have a good thing here with Affinity and Serif. Speak in a manner that makes it easy for a professional product designer to help you and not want to run you over with a car. ✌️

Its so good. Well done team.

I hope Apple and the Pixelmator team makes something great. More players and options is good! I could see Pixelmator become like Final Cut and try sway professionals to an Apple-Only industry. So the big players are Canva/Affinity, Adobe, Sketch (?), Figma, then Apple with Pixelmator? Are there anyone I'm kinda missing in the graphic/photo/publishing scene?

In designer, have a workspace with content and slices like so. Create a new artboard above+left all content. The slices I created move! They should not!

Well thought out - this would strengthen the vector offering of Affinity tools significantly. Bump.

Copying/pasting table cell styling is difficult at the moment. Text seems to be pickable, but the cells themselves (border, fill, inset, etc.) are really frustrating to copy/paste.

I'd like to revive this thread. How should one manage consistent gaps and spacing in Publisher? The grid feature is nice, holding control to see spacing is nice — but I want to quickly grab a gap size and make it 100px for example. A gap tool would be lovely.

In Designer, deleting an artboard brings up the following dialogue. I do this often, and always choose the same option. Would love a 'remember this setting / dont ask again' checkbox to skip this. Settings could always let you uncheck this.

I think a 'lock insertion' checkbox beside the buttons would be a lot more findable than a hidden modifier, might just be me 🤔

Seems artboard selections cannot be set as key objects. I guess transforming them all to objects first is the workaround.

For the beginners in the room, I'd love a little link to explain how Regular Expressions work. I love documentation though, just me.

Oooooh yes. I am the target audience for this one. Awesome

+ 1 for AutoLayout ✌️
