Hi Bruce, I'm going to clarify because I believe you've misunderstood the issue, and I want to ensure that dev understands. Based on my intuition and understanding, I agree with you that the Defaults tab settings should be the defaults for the presets being selected when in Designer Persona and navigating to File Menu > Export > then choose that Preset Name. That's what I've noted in my limited experience using this application. The issue I am trying to describe is: in Designer Persona, where you view and edit these Preset's defaults, the fields do not refresh to show the relevant options for the file format selected. JPEG and EPS are two completely different "File Formats." The parameters for how these two different file formats can be configured for the export are entirely different. Here are two separate screenshots to show what my experience tells me should properly be displayed when changing the upper Preset dropdown menu. I hope this helps everyone understand my intention better.

Hello, I'm having difficulty seeing what is on the artboards while working with vector lines. The thumbnail would be useful if the background of the thumbnail were, in this case, white to match the artboard rather than a gray that is not adjustable. Otherwise please consider adding another slider under Preferences > User Interface. 🙏🏻 A failed alternative: resizing the thumbnails hasn't met my needs, and then its required scrolling up and down further because a larger thumb means a larger list, further supporting another feature request to expand/collapse entire groups/layers in the panel. Thank you, Walt

+1 on this! While this may be the standard; and I too understanding the non-destructive paradigm, I also expect my software application to do this for me. I'm sure there is truth and reason to Wosven's response. I've tried figuring out how to essentially reproduce what the rasterize and trim option on the layers context menu does, except without the rasterization, for the past two days. I've tried several alternative vector design applications without success, although finding Affinity Designer has made cleaning up a 65pg file manually a bit more friendly for me. While the feature isn't the standard today, there is a need. People wanting perfect precision lines when using .svg files for autocad. (Okay, so I'm really using it to convert PDF sewing patterns to SVG because that's what Cricut will allow me to upload to be printed/cut/etc in their elementary Design Space software.) Somebody: we. need. this. Please. There are many sewists [and small business owners who use multiple Cricut machines routinely] who've evolved to digital patterns, and many of them understand the importance of using svg vs. png for scalability, clean lines for precision cutting, et. cetera. Sadly an axe won't suffice here. Thanks, Walt

Hello, not 100% certain this is a bug, but its behavior I wasn't expecting. In Export Persona > Export Options tab > Mode set to Default - when choosing an option from the Preset dropdown, the parameters below do not update to show those belonging to that preset. They remain unchanged. For example, in the screenshot I've changed the Preset from EPS to JPEG, but the parameter options (including checkboxes and postscript which do not apply to JPEG) still remain. If I toggle modes from Defaults to Selection and then return to Defaults, it seems to load the selected preset's parameters. This is what led me to believe this is not behaving as intended. Thank you, Walt Affinity Designer: 1.10.4.1198 (in trial) Windows 10 64bit, ver. 21H2, OS 19044.1347, Exp Pack 120.2212.3920.0 I did try searching the forum before posting

+1 ... This is one of those functions that sets the application at prosumer rather than professional. I've been quite impressed during my trial otherwise.
