Separate mode is seriously buggy and non-standard behaviour. Its habit of opening images in small windows and repeatedly losing toolbars is annoying.

Affinity does read DNG just fine.

PDF layers is a different animal than normal graphic layers. In PDF objects are usually separate anyway, so when you export as layers those objects are organised as layer structure, if you export without layers objects are still there but without a named layer structure. I have not used that PDF feature so I cannot say how to prepare document to properly use the feature.

It is not very hard to install OSX to PC hardware. Or to make dual boot system.

Merge Down improvement
Fixx replied to NotMyFault's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
Can you clarify what is the difference? I thought they behave similarly. -
You use Inset values to add padding. It does not change the size of text box but pushes text inner (thus "inset"). Paragraph Decoration is workable solution also, it all depends if you have text as longer run (as is usually preferable in normal publications), or if it is cut to snippets (as in posters and such single page layouts).

Leading
Fixx replied to Brent Pedersen's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
"Character leading" is really "Leading override" and it applies to text rows within a paragraph. It is seldom used. See -
PDF content is plain pixel image. Both PS and AP should import and present it equally. It is possible that PDF rendering does some weird things. Acrobat esports the image as 186X211 pixels, as AP reads it. Direct opening to PS gives 371 X 422 pixels. Can @ronald618 tell which is one the real resolution that was placed to PDF?

That is usually done by adjusting paragraph style options or in paragraph palette. Maybe title case should be more intelligent or at least more grammar aware. There should indeed be some intelligent behaviour to keep 100% K elements as 100% K. Currently there is way too much rich black trouble. What is this? I do not see how in real world copyfitting could be done otherwise than manually. It takes hyphenation adjustments, character width adjustments, kerning adjustments, and sometimes actual copytext can be altered. Yes! Tables have serious limitations now.

Improved Swatches Panel
Fixx replied to Mark Oehlschlager's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
+1 I would think it would be intuitive just to drag and drop colours to swatches panel. It never seems to work. -
It should not be necessary to think about pixel alignment or resolution differences (as long as there is resolution enough). The document should look the same before and after merging. Layered document creates a merged look on screen on the fly anyway and it should be true. If the look changes upon merging it is up to devs to correct behaviour, it should not be up to user to adjust layers.
