Optical kerning is an advanced feature which a modern design app should have. That said, in reality good quality fonts have good kerning tables which produce good typesetting, and headlines/large size may need manual touch anyway.

about export file
Fixx replied to Alex Dox's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Isn't the issue simply that CMYK cannot present such bright green colours as it has insufficient gamut in certain colours. -
Inpainting selections
Fixx replied to davidj1's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Rather it copies pixels exactly, without trying to fit them to target area texture. Also if there is soft edge in the brush, it softens the texture at the paint border, and if there is a hard edge, it shows as a sharp border. Therefore it would be nice to have an inpainting tool where you can select source area. Or, a better algorithm for regular automatic inpainting. -
If you want to save over old TIFF you have to flatten the layers. If you have layers in document you can save as affinityphoto file, or export to TIFF (layers merged in process), and the there is this: it is possible to export with Affinity layers. Seems you can also save over old TIFF if you include layers. Now your question: Affinity saved TIFF with layers contain Affinity proprietary information (layers). There should be also a composite image included which is readable by other software. Layers are readible only by Affinity, there is no other use for them but you can open and continue editing layered TIFF later. I do not think that is a very good workflow.

As R C-R said above, quicklook and image preview tapping spacebar should work in any mac. Is the problem only with .nef files or with any files? Previewing raw files with quicklook is not necessarily fast enough, the may be some delay when OS renders the preview. People use sometimes special software for culling raw photos, like Photo Mechanic, ApolloOne or mentioned FastRawViewer. There are also more sophisticated automated culling apps like FilterPixel, Optyx and Narrative Select (these have free basic versions available).

Expand may not be the right command for simple rectangle. Convert to Curves works fine. -
Straight lines (horizontal and vertical)
Fixx replied to DuggieD's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
No, just simple drawn rules like in InDesign. -

Would be nice if "rule" would be available as Pen tool variant in Toolbox. As user preference it could sticky. -
Probably simplest setup is that some users print to A4 and some users read onscreen with fit width zoom setting (or similar). That suggests that you better use A4 format and place content such way that it is easily readable as half page portions. Some PDF players tend to display spreads by default but it is not readable that way.

I use DWG Tools for mac app. It offers all kinds of in-app purchases but basic version can export PDF simply enough.

Affinity Suite: the minus character
Fixx replied to Pyanepsion's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
I checked if fullsize keyboard would have minus sign but no, it is the same hyphen. Pity. Mac users do not have any shortcut for it either it seems. Could not even set is as autocorrect set. Glyph panel or system Emoji & Symbols it is then.
