Hi, any updates yet? It's been several months…
 
I agree with Andreas that this IS a basic feature which should just work and I think fixing/rewriting it should get a higher priority.

First of all can I say that I absolutely love Affinity, completely smitten with it and I use it heavily every single day.
 
This thread has gone cold for nearly a month now and I am quite sad because I check it every single day in anticipation!
 
What is the current status of the beta and when can we expect to see some movement?
 
Some of the work I am doing this month would be about a hundred times quicker with the symbols functionality so am hoping the answer is soon :)
 
Keep up the good work guys, thanks! 

Expand stroke and some of boolean functions (divide) is still generating unwanted complexity and in some cases extra "pieces" see attached images.  For the type of complicated slice and dice workflow I have, this is very problematic and a show stopper for all but the simplest forms. LOVING the effects and shading workflow, path editing is still not where it should be and my hope is that some of these vector basics will be dealt with and rise to the same level soon. :-)

Thanks, just a mockup but we can always hope they'll create something like it
 
 
 
Thanks
 
 
This is just a mockup, not intended to replace the existing UI, would just like it as an option (to choose themes maybe)
 
 
 
 
Thanks, I tried to remove as much chrome and color as possible and to keep the yosemite style that users are familiar with => more focus on content. 
 
Added some more: 
 

Yosemite style...mockup
 
Obviously less than half done but you get the idea :)
 

I really like the new icons and would prefer them over the old ones.
 
Great job! :)

First off,
  I'm really in love with your software.   I bought Affinity Designer in an instant and will do the same as soon as Affinity Photo becomes available for purchase.   Having said that, here's my BIGGEST gripe with your software:   Being able to adjust any value with your mouse while it has focus is a big showstopper.   I know that this is probably by design, but I have never EVER wanted to shoot/scale my objects in random directions, just because I moved my finger on my Magic Mouse by 0.05 cm.   Another Person (I don't remember the thread, sorry!) suggested that it would be neat if we were just able to drag over the value label we intended to change. For example: If I wanted to change the opacity, as soon as I moved the cursor over the word "Opacity", my cursor would change to a double-headed arrow, and if I wanted to change that value, I could just hold and drag.   I would really prefer that option.   Best,   Meils

One thing I really like about Sketch is that it automatically hides ALL bounding boxes whenever you are changing/adjusting a value.
  Nudge some text around: BOOM! Bounding box is hidden.   Two seconds later it reappears (1 second might be enough).   Adjust a gradient or a shadow: Same.   Pick another color for that button: Same.   I'd really like for Designer and Photo to exhibit the same behaviour.

This issue has been fixed for all our products. :)

100% agreed. It happens to me all the time and it's really annoying. In general, it is difficult to use Affinity with Magic Mouse.
 
Kind regards
Peter.
