Something that has come up not infrequently is that there is a feature I could really use that I don't think is available because it clearly isn't visible as an option. It then turns that said feature (i.e Batch Export to give one example) does exist... just not in the Affinity program primarily suited to the project in question (I do own all three). I've read elsewhere the reason certain features are missing from Affinity Publisher, or Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo but are in one of them is to increase the value of each as a product, but it strikes me that there is an option for improved integration that would greatly improve user workflow whilst retaining the separation of features. Either would mean that there wouldn't be a situation where users have to spend extra time googling to find out they can do what they want to do by switching program from what they primarily use, or miss out on using a feature (or perhaps use a macro workaround) because they are unaware it is present in one of the other programs. My feature request is add in a toolbar or submenu (perhaps under the Edit in... option that links to the other Personas) that details features specific to the other program and if selected both switches to that program (as already implemented) but goes directly to the feature. This could save time used when having to switch programs just to use one feature, either by by saving time in navigation or even perhaps by optimising how the program is loaded to this end. It also improves awareness about the existence of specific features. Alternatively, add in the software-specific features but limit the ability to use them (perhaps even visibility of relevant toolbar icons) to those that have the relevant software. Maybe that would be too logistically difficult, but depending on how the Persona switching and/or My Account works, it might be a means of just using that.
