Adjustments don't disappear if you close the adjustment panel
Layers don't disappear if you close the layers panel
Styles don't disappear if you close the styles panel
Your History does not disappear if you close the history panel
Assets do not disappear from your document if you close the Assets panel
etc
etc
etc
etcIMO When you toggle a studio panel on and off you are only affecting the visibility of that panel in your workspace you are not affecting anything that you have used that panel for when it was opened.

There is no Text Wrap in Designer that is only available in Affinity Publisher at the moment
In Designer, you can simulate the effect (to some extent) by creating a shape that encompasses your image (with a knocked-out part for your image) then converting that shape to Curve Text by using the command
Layer > Convert to Text Frame

Anyway, I would be a little miffed if I buy and a couple months later a new and improved version arrives with no recourse
1.6 is the current version
1.7 is well into its beta testing and expected to be released "soon"
If you buy version 1.6 now, you get the 1.7 version for free when it is released
You will also get versions 1.8 and 1.9 for free when released
You will only need to pay for the next major upgrade, which will be version 2.x but upgrading to version 2.x will be optional. Your current version will continue to work and if it does what you want you can choose not to upgrade to version 2.x
Version 2.x (in my opinion) will not be ready anytime in the next year and conceivably could be 2 to 3 years away, so I think you are safe purchasing the product now and getting your money's worth

3. The crashing. By far the most annoying thing is the unreliability. It just crashed while I've been writing this when I was placing an image (crash report attached). But this is a constant threat and it doesn't always recover gracefully, although I am happy to see recovery as a feature.
Lots of the things that caused the program to crash are already fixed in the 1.7 beta, you may want to give that a try to see if your crashes disappear. (it runs separately to the released version so does not interfere with it in anyway)
If you still experience a crash you need to report it in a separate thread on this forum as there may be something else going on in the program or your PC which may be curable another way.
When I first started using the program I would get crashes all the time, now using the beta version I will only get a crash about once a month and that's with using it every day.

Sounds about right. I have not used global colours too much before.
But now working on some different "templates" where changing the base colour has been made a lot easier by using a global colour at the start of the project.
So far, so good.
-
Global colours are all you have for now, but you have to remember to create (and use) them at the start of the project

Your file takes 4 minutes to export here
If I disable the Curve Text layer and the Curve layer immediately below it, it takes 22 seconds to export (both are set to Soft Light blend mode)
You should be able to use 2 rectangles, with gradients and Soft Light blend modes to replace the above 2 curves ( which are causing the slow export times.)

Presumably this only applies because Alex isn’t doing design work as an employee. In previous discussions it has been pointed out that your employer ultimately controls a work PC owned or leased by them, even if you are the only user and you therefore have day-to-day control of the machine.
Whether you are doing design work as an employee or just casually using the program in your spare time should not alter who ultimately controls a work PC.
I think Serif are just being nice in this case.

It is my understanding that the released (1.6) versions will now never be patched. (Unless something like a major OS upgrade breaks them)
Any bugs found in 1.6 that are fixed will be fixed in the 1.7 versions (beta and release)
The 1.6 versions will always have those bugs for now and forever.
So, if it has been fixed, your only choice is to use the 1.7 beta or wait for the official release of 1.7
Reporting known bugs in 1.6 that are already fixed in 1.7 seems pretty redundant now but new bugs found in 1.6 should still be reported as the fixes can be added to the 1.7 versions (beta then release) -
Is this on the released version or the beta?
Unless it's reproducible on the beta it's possible it's already fixed.
The 1.7 beta has had numerous fixes/improvements since it started and cant be that far away from being released officially

You could try overlaying some wrinkles from another image and using blend modes, opacity, masks etc try to merge the two together
Or if you are good with a paint brush you could try painting in some wrinkles as in this tutorial

I couldn't get the image to move to the upper left-hand corner of the canvas using the move tool. In fact, I couldn't get the image to move at all.
If you have opened the image with File > Open it may be locked in the Layers Panel
Unlock it and it should move freely

Make sure you are viewing the document at 100% to compare the effect of the flattening
When you are zoomed out you do not always see a true representation of layer effects, filter, adjustments, merging, etc. This is just the way the program works currently
Also I'm not sure why you cant use a Curves adjustment to embolden the lines, did you say you had tried that?

If you export to PDF, you can use your PDF viewer to check what the printed version will look like, thus potentially saving on wasted paper and ink.
The print preview (as basic as it is) shown on the File > Print screen should give a fair representation as to if you are printing in the right place on the paper, thus potentially saving on wasted disk space and time

I can see you have (now) posted your problem 3 times but always in other peoples threads. The problem with that is that your issue can go unnoticed if people are trying to help the original poster in those threads.
You should create a new topic, then people will be able to respond specifically to you about your problem.
PS You might want to include a sample Affinity file that demonstrates the problem when creating your new topic
-
Assuming you are using Affinity Photo, if you resize your canvas to the size of your paper being used then position the "small image" on the canvas where you would want it printed on the paper.
That should work but my printer is awaiting ink at the moment so cant test it

Oh. . .is that important?
Not that tech savvy over here I didn't think it would make a difference to the result.
Whether it should or not I don't know. (might well be a bug?)
But it does when I test it.
Release date?

That will probably be the pre-brexit price. If we leave the EU no one knows what the euro exchange rate will be.
Then again we may revert to bartering in turnips and potatoes.
My country is currently broken and in limbo.
