Not a clipboard manager per se, but I use Launchbar which has this functionality. I just tried quitting Launchbar and performing the same steps but AP crashed on step 4.

Affiniy Publisher crashes the moment I copy some PSDs. I believe it has something to do with PSDs created in the newer versions of Photoshop. Here are some steps to reproduce:
- Download these free mockups: https://freedesignresources.net/free-macbook-set-mockup/
- Create a new document in Affinity Publisher
- Drag and drop any of the mockups onto the document
- In Affinity Publisher, copy the placed PSD object and paste it back (you’ll notice this works as expected)
- Now open the PSD in the latest version of Photoshop 2021 (22.3.x)
- Save it with another name (do not overwrite the existing file)
- Drag and drop this new mockup file onto the document
- Copy and paste it back
For me, Affinity Publisher crashes the moment I hit Cmd+C on step 8. This is the crash report I get:

Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, PDFs, ÖSDs are not considered to be „images“ like tif, jpg or png, but documents. For the time being, the file size isn‘t reduced, when you place these files as „linked“.
I understand that. The problem is not how the file size jumps from 1MB to 20MB with a linked afdesign file. This is fine. My issue is how every subsequent save will increase the file size by ~400KB even when the only change in the afpub file is the position of a rectangle that is unrelated to the linked file. I used to work in CorelDRAW, so Cmd+S is in my muscle memory and I end up with huge files.
This happens with psd as well.

Hello!
I have noticed the file size of an afpub keeps increasing indefinitely if it has an afdesign or afphoto document linked or embedded, even when no changes have been made to the linked document. The first thing I have tried is to turn off Save History With Document, but it was already off. I recorded my screen to demonstrate the issue. In the video, please notice how the file size changes after trivial operations such as moving a rectangle: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y9ilpg67o3fbb7c/afpub filesize increase.mp4?dl=0
I’ve also tested placing a png, in which the case the file size increases in the next 2 saves and then goes back down.
I am running Affinity Publisher 1.7.1 on MacOS 10.14.5.

even TextEdit copies text as rich text only if TextEdit is set to use the rich text format
I don‘t think that‘s true. You may test this yourself:
1. Copy some text from Affinity Designer and paste in TextEdit using ⌥⇧⌘V (Paste and Match Style). Nothing will be pasted. This is essentially pasting as plain text.
2. Now paste in TextEdit using ⌘V (the normal Paste). The text will be pasted as rich text.
3. Then, copy the text in TextEdit and paste it back (in TextEdit) using both ⌘V and ⌥⇧⌘V. You will notice they both work fine, as TextEdit sets the clipboard correctly with plain text and rich text versions.
Inspecting the clipboard contents from different apps a while back also indicated that Affinity Designer is not copying things correctly. See that the 4th line is missing the title attribute:

I may be wrong here, but it seems the clipboard contents when copied from Affinity are missing the title attribute. This was using the text tool with some highlighted text.

I’ve recorded a screencast to hopefully make the issue more clear.
In short, Affinity Designer seems to copy text as rich text only. TextEdit can paste it, but Sublime expects the plain text part which is missing from the clipboard. It works if copy in AD, paste in TextEdit, copy in TextEdit and then paste in Sublime Text.

I believe everybody was focused on the iPad app for the last few months (congrats on that!), so here is a quick bump so you don't forget about us.
This bug has been around for almost 2 years and is increasingly annoying to deal with.
I've shared the steps to reproduce it here:
Cheers!

Unfortunately, not fixed yet as of Designer 1.6.1 and Photo 1.6.7.

Yes, that flattens all adjustments and creates a pixel layer. However, I still have to manually sample the result with the Color Picker tool, which can become a burden when I have multiple gradients. It would be better if Affinity Designer could do this for me while keeping my vectors intact, something similar to Illustrator's Recolor Artwork.
-
I know this is an old thread, but I'd like to express my vote for this feature as well.
Adjustment layers on Affinity Designer are nice, but we can only merge them with pixel layers. I miss the ability to merge them with any kind of layer (text, curve, etc) so I can reuse the new colors elsewhere in a much more direct way and without cluttering my files with a bunch of identical adjustment layers.

This bug has been around for a while now: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/26366-ad-151-mac-problem-with-the-view-hand-tool-spacebar-shortcut/?p=142192
Any chance of getting this fixed on 1.6? It is getting increasingly annoying to work around it.

I have been able to reproduce this consistently with the following steps:
1. Hold down spacebar.
2. Click and drag with the hand tool (but don't release the mouse button).
3. Release the spacebar.
4. Release the mouse button.
In a nutshell, if I release the spacebar before the mouse button I'm stuck with the hand tool until I press the spacebar again.

For example, this is some of the OpenType code that is present in the locl feature of my fonts. These substitutions only happen when the language of the text is set to Dutch, Catalan and Romanian, respectively. If the glyph doesn’t have a Unicode assigned (which is the case of iacute_j.loclNLD), there is no way for me to input it into AD.
Following up in this topic, I’ve found out Affinity Designer doesn’t honour the locl OpenType feature.
This is how it behaves in Adobe apps:
-
Is there a way to add more languages to it?
Ok, I’ve found out there is a way to add more languages to it.
AD populates that dropdown according to the languages I’ve checked on the spelling options of System Preferences.
While I see the reason for this, it would be nice to have more languages available by default without requiring me to change my global spelling options.
-
I believe it is best to seek inspiration for the Pen Tool on type design software.
Granted, I use them for a living, but I really would like to see some of these features in AD:
- spacebar while putting down an anchor to reposition it,
- moving anchors while keeping off-curve handles in place,
- being able to constrain handles to right angles afterwards (shift key will only constrain to the original angle).
Take a look at this short video from Glyphs:
Maybe download its trial and use it for a while. It is fantastic!

The language dropdown of my Character panel only shows English, Portuguese and Spanish.
Is there a way to add more languages to it? For me, this is not about spelling, but language features that are built into OpenType fonts. (I’m a type designer and I use Affinity Designer to make the promotional images for my fonts, btw.)

The locl feature works for me by either setting the spelling language or setting both the typography script and language.
