I'm not sure how many other designers out are needing this, but I would like to suggest the addition of a few "Live" effects added to Affinity Designer. 1: Vector Halftones Use for RGB / CMYK / B&W with the ability to change dot sizes on the fly, as well as some way to be added to gradients. 2: Stipple A simple way to add stippling to design work which could help accent textures. Changing dot size, texture, and such would help create unique patterns. 3: Randomization The ability to edit, live, a patterns / objects colours, scale, position, and rotation could help make items more unique. I know this is asking a lot. I figured I'd put it out there as these are not only things that I would benefit greatly from, but certain others would as well.

As an older school Adobe user who has been making the slow and steady transition to Affinity, and loving most of it, there are 2 things that I'm struggling with. 1: Working in Separated Mode, the working palettes don't exactly "snap" to the edges of the screen, or to the Tool Bar at the top. This would be incredibly helpful to someone like me who is always grabbing files from open folder in the background, or off the desktop. 2: Double Palette Rows, snapping side by side would also be a great feature. Leaving my Tools to one side for quick access, while having everything to the other side of the screen feels more productive. BONUS: Workspaces would be a nice bonus, because sometime when I need access to tools and palettes for colour correcting, and different tools and palettes for advanced editing.
