Just wanted to support this request. Having the brush footprint visible helps me when retouching portraits. It's very common to apply brush sizes that cover naturally occurring contours of the body and face. Currently, it takes a lot of trial and error. Having this feature would speed up my process. 
 
I would suggest adding it as an option that can be toggled on/off in case some people find it obtrusive. 

Please add this feature in a future update, even if it's defaulted off, allow us to toggle it on in the preferences.

Do you mean in the develop persona?
 
Despite your preamble I’m going to throw out a suggestion for the photo persona. 
1. Add a fill layer
2. Create an elliptical gradient
3. Set middle node to white
4. Set outer node to middle grey
5. Set blend mode to multiply
 
Now you have an infinitely adjustable vignette layer.

I am wondering if the current Affinity Photo app does not have the correct API implemented to view files natively in iOS 11's new files app. I know some apps have been updated to iOS 11 and have included the new API.
 
I have noticed that other apps that have a File Explorer feature are being updated to include files viewable via the new Files app on iOS 11. There are 2 different implementations I have seen so far, 1st: the app just lists the Service on the side and when tapping on the service to view files, brings up a pop up over the Files app. 2nd: the app updated their API to have files viewable in the files app native, and not a popup.
 
I have included some screenshots that may help explain what I am talking about.
 
I hope we can get native file viewing or file management with the new files app.

Hi,
 
The lack of thumbnails in some categories is not because they are complicated - its just that we don't ship any presets for those adjustments. The main "adjustments" list allows adding of all adjustments in their default state. The other lists allow adding of adjustment presets - which you can create from each adjustment tool.
 
That said, I agree to an extent..
 
I have created my own adjustment presets for the adjustments which I use frequently - and removed the default ones. Now I get useful thumbnails everywhere - including the main list (which uses the first preset if available).
 
Soon, we will add the ability to switch to a simple list of adjustment names instead of thumbnails - as well as the ability to sort the list by most-frequently-used, as opposed to alphabetically - which at times I do find frustrating.
 
Hope this helps,
