I don't know but this is pretty much the reason I would no longer recommend any affinity software to anyone.
Yeah Photoshop sucks for having become a service as a product thing but at least they still develop and evolve.
This thread has been open for 6 years, constantly active and totally reasonable as a feature request
and its the second feature that I've basically been waiting on for years to at some point be integrated.
It feels like they made Photo and Designer six years ago and ever since just fixed a few bugs
while competitors kept improving their products
These days there is a lot of free or cheap one time payment editing software and I feel like
Affinity has had its peak days long ago
