[Tables across multiple pages]

Well, since this thread already has a roadmap tag, the prospects are good that something will happen in the foreseeable future within our remaining lifespan.

Ah, good to know!

[Tables across multiple pages]

In general I love using Affinity Designer, but this lack of support for mutli-page tables is a real downer. I have a project just handed to me with a short turnaround time, and I'm going to have to dig out my old copy of Adobe InDesign to do it — that's InDesign from 10 years ago, which even back then had great table features.

Yep.

The title of this thread is ' Objects to "No Print" '. It's not tied to any version number. It's a feature request, so it's still valid.

[Objects to "No Print"]

PLEASE enable "no print" as an option for objects, or at least for layers. Yes, some of us still design for print!

Consistency and "feature parity" with the Windows version.

More like "lack of feature" parity.

[Separated Mode should be a foundational assumption]

Why on earth was separated mode removed???? It's just stunning.

I think what you are asking for is they are one Vector warp. Perspective is a type of warp handled in the layers panel (about 4:30 in)

That looks fantastic.

[Scale type along with graphics?]

Wow, very cool. Thanks so much!

Does my attached video tell you what you need to know

Thanks, never noticed that extra little handle before. Now I can resize text along with other objects. One I thing I notice though: line weights are not scaled on objects with borders. Is there some way to scale line weights along with everything else?

[Scale type along with graphics?]

Is there any way to scale type along with graphics (images, boxes, etc.)? When I group objects including type and scale the box, the type size doesn't change to match.

It would have made more sense to me to focus on Designer and bring it to a similar level as Sketch

I've been going back and forth between AD and Sketch for a while now. I've got an M1 Mac, so my version of Illustrator (CS6) no longer works, and I refuse to pay Adobe's endless subscription fees to get the new version. To be fair, Sketch doesn't have a distortion option for type either, so I still have to rely on Photoshop for this. Sketch is a really great tool, but it has its own shortcomings, especially when it comes to text formatting.

Oh, okay. You said you were working on a "photo", which technically would be raster. 

Yes, but I'm putting type on top of the photo. The type needs to remain editable. I'm working in Publisher, but this would apply to Designer as well.

There are some perspective and distort tools in Affinity Photo that might offer what you’re looking for but they rasterize vector images. There’s currently no distort/warp tools that can preserve curves.

Yes, that's better than nothing, but the vector distortion tool is what I was looking for.

I was working on a photo today, and need to free-transform some type. I was surprised to find there is no free-transform tool! That's a pretty basic, necessary feature for a graphics program.
