I like the place panel but I would like it to be persistent. If I drag 20 images and start placing them one by one (not autoflow), I cannot stop the process or switch to another tool to make a small adjustment, otherwise the place panel disappears and I loose track of what images have already been placed. Making it persistent like any other panel would be very helpful when working with imported assets

I've just tested it and it works great ! Really making a huge change when clipping multiple images into multiple shapes, this is now real smooth. Thanks for listening to user feedback and the great work done in each release

Yes, I thought you feared the risk some users may inadvertently create russian-doll layer structures, but I think there is definitely value in being able to lock this button too. As Bit Arts mentioned in his/her post, I also find myself repeating an insert into clipping mask action several times and locking this button would definitely help. I recorded this small video as an example. Note that on last step I forgot to click insert inside and got my shortcut action sequence wrong. But you should get the point lock insert inside use case.mov

When using merge visible to flatten a design, I found that it will merge all artboards into a pixel layer, not just the current artboard. Only the portion of the merged layer that is contained in the artboard is visible, but you also have all the other artboards as hidden pixels on the same layer. I did not expect this behaviour which can create un-necessary large files and is cumbersome if you want to use the merged layer as an object in your design (resizing, applying border effect, shadows ...). Also, I was expecting using "rasterise & trim" to crop the big merged layer but it doesn't work. I wonder if this is intended design or just a side effect. It would be great to have an option to toggle this behaviour to only merge current artboard content (maybe using the existing "Edit All Layers" toggle at the bottom of the layer panel).

this is a great feature but any reason why this is not extended to "insert inside the selection" ?

Perspective tool > adding new functionality
EricP replied to Tosz's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Agree with all 3 points. I would add for mesh warp the ability to use "transform mode" to transform several control points as a box (like the node tool). For example select 4 control points (not necessarily in the center) and scale or rotate them together The twist mode does the rotation, but not the scaling and is only applied in the center of the mesh warp. Transform mode would allow more flexibility and combinations -

so I've been playing a bit with Publisher table tool and it's close to the grid tool I was asking for. Always better to try to use what we already have rather than wait for new things. The table cell/border formatting is quite painful to use, but it you use the vector flood fill tool for fills and recolour adjustment layer for borders, add a bit of Fx, you get great creative possibilities. All done with live table objects ...

Yes, quick grid can achieve the result (as the new power duplicate menu), but we're missing the ability to adjust the spacing and number of duplicates later, which a live shape would allow. Think of realigning different grids after scaling, changing the number of lines etc ... The workflow benefit would be before converting to curves, having the ability to re-adjust the parameters to fit the needs of the design. You can also save presets, with different grid patterns that can be used for hatching, pattern fills etc. Of course a more generic tool like the upcoming blender tool might bring this as well, but it may be overkill for some simple applications. We already have a "heart" and a "cloud" shape tool, which I am sure have some use, I feel a grid shape tool, although being basic, would have much more practical use cases and not be too costly to implement. More generally, I would love Serif to add vector effect adjustment layers, like the mesh warp introduced in V2.0. A live vector repeater would address this need and much more.

After the great spiral tool of 2.3, it would be great to have a grid tool. We all love grids and practical applications are infinite. I know it is now very easy to duplicate lines with the power duplicate tool and publisher has a table tool, but having a grid in the form of a "shape" that can be adjusted with a few parameters anytime would really be powerful. controls could include : spacing : by interval or number of column/row border : yes/no gutter transform to curve : as lines or as polygons

Blend tool in Designer
EricP replied to Athanasius Pernath's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Have you tried using Cavalry, it's great at parametric vector design and a great companion to Affinity Designer. You can easily copy paste svgs between the 2 applications- 122 replies

Thank you both for your replies. Sorry for mis-posting this in this area of the forum. I guess I followed the link in Ash's post that said if the bug is not related to new features introduced in this release, post it here. Anyway, as long as it's logged with the developers, we are good.

When using the patch tool, after selecting the area and replacement fill, adjusting scale, the application crashes. This happens on first or second use of patch tool on a new document Using 2.2.1 on macos 10.15.6 Attached the crash report AP patch tool crash report.rtf
