Hi @Marie Elisabeth,
I'm not sure why there is a difference between the apps here, I would expect the same results between apps.
I'll get this logged with the Dev team and see what they say.
Designer v2 has a new option in the Move tool context toolbar: Select Item in Group
Make sure it is inactive. affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Tools/tools_move.html
I do scrapbooking; so I would like to place shapes/objects in my document and then add shadows. The appearance of the shadows depends on the perceived distance from the background and not at all on size of said shape. I would like to do this with preset styles as is really easy in Photoshop.
I create a shape and set an outer shadow that looks good. Create a style. But when I then use this style, or paste Fx, it does not look the same. Reusing a style creates a new set of values for radius and offset that varies depending on something...size, placement, shape...? A new but identical shape doesn't get the same shadow either.
The scale with object is unchecked. Is there something else I am missing? Is this a bug or a really odd feature?
Attached is a file I used to play around with this. The large square in the 1st artboard is the shape I used to set the style.
I've tested in both Photo and Designer on a Win10 computer
