I FINALLY can close all my artboards at once, thank you Affinity! 🥳

I've FINALLY found where this pasting issue came from... I had inverted the normal "paste" and "paste without format" commands in the Designer shortcuts. I usually prefer to paste text without format, so to make it quicker, I had changed the CMD+V shortcut to do just that. Shift+Option+CMD+V was assigned to the simple "paste". This caused the problem where I couldn't paste into textfields because CMD+V would trigger something else than the basic "paste" command.

Hi @Lee D, I created a new user account to test what you suggested (without much hope I might add...) and the copy/paste did work normally! That's really weird... Would you have any idea about where this behaviour could come from and how I could fix it?

Correction: auto colours and white balance DO have the same issue sometimes! And I forgot to mention that I use a pretty powerful Mac Studio, so hardware should not be the issue.

Hi! I noticed some weird bug (?) in recent versions of V1 as well as in V2: the auto level and auto contrast commands take forever (= several minutes, even for a small image) to complete. Auto colours and auto white balance don't have this problem. Thanks in advance for your help! Affinity Photo 2.0.0 / macOS Ventura 13.0.1

Hi! I'm unfortunately still plagued with the paste issue I reported in V1: for some weird reason I can't paste text inside Designer's text fields any more. When I try to paste text to rename a group for example, Designer creates a text field at the centre of my artboard and pastes the copied text inside of it. If I try to paste text in a text field in the preferences for example, the text just won't paste. Everything still works properly in Photo and in Publisher.

You can press option + click on a layer to solo it.

Hmm, this seems to be a different issue...

Thanks for your input but I'm not that stupid... 😂 Even though I'm inside a text field, my text will get pasted in a new text box at the centre of the artboard.

Didn't know about this one, thanks! Though it unfortunately doesn't seem to be possible to assign a shortcut to this function... I didn't find it in the list at least.

I really like the export features of Designer but find it frustrating that I have to select "Selection Only" from the Area dropdown menu every single time... It would be a huge time saver if we could export a selection straight away without having to set it as a slice first.

The thing is that I want to be able to export my selections on the fly, without having to set slices first. For motion graphics, I usually have tens of artboards from which I export only some elements that might change often. That's why this shortcut would be a huge time saver.

The thing is that I previously had several layers in this group, that's why the effect was applied to the group and not to the "Background" layer. But I've found a work around by using an embedded file instead of grouped layers. Thanks for checking this out!

Hi Sean, Here's a file that's causing the issue. I've narrowed it down to the perspective effect this time, but I've also got this "effect" with other setups that I can't replicate. Thanks for having a look at it! Storyboard.afdesign

Hi, I'm having a weird pixelated background in some of my files... I think it mostly appears when I've got embedded pictures in the main file. It also happens when I add a live perspective effect (from Photo) to an element. The files still work OK but the "effect" – which animates as I scroll – is pretty disturbing to look at. Has anybody got the same issue?
