Here's a suggestion that would make life a bit easier for us users.
In the previous version of affinity designer you could easily choose the art board with the art board tool even if there was content overlaid on the art board. In the new version2, in order for me to really get to the art board (for example in order to clone art board) I need to go to the layer tab search for the art board and then I can select the art board in order to clone it.
Here is my suggestion: Create the possibility for the user to access the art board by pressing a shortcut key that will directly select the whole art board.
ps. In the screenshot I just want to show you that if I click with the art board tool onto my art board, it will simply select some vector layer and not the actual art board. Not sure what the purpose and the idea for that is, maybe somebody is using it that way, it would be nice though if one could directly click on the art board and select it. That's what the art board tool should be for. Thank you so very much for your work, I love your products and it is so much fun to work with them.
