I've got an old macbook with a pirate-version of PS CS5 on it that i use for a list of little things AF cannot do. Though that list is growing swiftly and it's a pain, i'm not yet prepared to pay € 25 a month.

Aha, to me it seemed the tick indicated the selected choice between 'separated mode' and 'merge all windows'. Thanks, it's sorted.

I can't reproduce this in my Aff Photo.

I'd like files to open in merged windows instead of separated mode. Is there a way to make this the default? Couldn't find it in the prefs.

same here.

absolutely!

please do!

Thanks Walt, All 3 approaches you mention make sense and work. It takes time to adjust to the workflow after using ID for so many years, even if it makes sense. About the hyphenation-issue: i checked with Indesign and it makes the same mistake (coronas- teunregeling), so it must be the OS dictionary. I will figure out how to fix that. btw: The forum name has lightning fast been taken care of by the Affinity-staff : )

It is silly to have to do this for every textframe in the document. Isn't it possible to assign the Spelling Language for the whole document at once, or better yet: for the Affinity programs globally? Another issue: The dutch hyphenation has some errors (for example "coronas- teunregeling" instead of corona- steunregeling). I should be able to correct this, even if it is only locally on my own mac, but i can't find a way to do this.
