Sometimes Layer > Show Others does not work for me also
But that is a refresh/redraw issue for me, zooming in/out cures it
If that's the same for you, you might want to mention it in your bug report

Normally I don't like being the odd one out but, in this case, Hallelujah!
Works fine for me

Just confirming. In Affinity Publisher, it is not possible to export from an afpub file to a txt file, correct?
I'm looking for a way to export all the contents of text frames to a basic txt file, ignoring all the images in the afpub file. Any thoughts?
You can print to a text format file
How well that works with Publisher, I have no idea

Doesn't Layer > Show Others do what you want?

If you can save the document, reopen it and still can't change the fill colour, please upload the document to the forum

For future reference:
If you just resize the Artboard your existing layers will not rescale
If you need them to, try this...
Select the Artboard in the Layers Panel and do Layer > Convert Artboard to Object this will convert it to a Rectangle
You can then use Document Setup to resize the document using the Rescale option to rescale all the layers
You can then add an Artboard back to your document (using the Artboard Tool) if so desired

If that doesn’t help, try saving the document, closing the document and re-opening the document. That will remove any selections that exist
Any selections I make are still there when I reopen a document

It isn't really going negative but it seems the slider is trying to.
If you simply type 0 into the Tolerance setting it will do it (no slider input)
Does it on V2, V2 Beta and 1.10.6

or is it just me than can't import a simple photo and display it as it should be.
If you can upload the RAW file of the image above, others can "test" it for you

Any advice, recommendations would be very much appreciated.
In the first screenshot you posted, switch off Hardware Acceleration
I have that same graphics "card" and new documents take much longer to open with it on, though not as long as you are experiencing.
I also get random crashes and freezing with it on
Just switch it off for now and keep it off to eliminate it from any future issues

It seems the ten year-old said "Cycle Selection" instead of "Rotate selection" and thus did satisfy the OP's literally demand not to say the latter.
In the video the OP supplied he is seen doing Select > Cycle Selection Box which apparently solved the OP's problem
Somebody wake that ten-year-old kid up, we need to talk

As I said before, the problem was solved with the help of a ten-year-old kid on another forum.
As far as I am aware Select > Cycle Selection Box is a temporary setting useful for snapping in some circumstances
So, not exactly sure what your initial problem was or how this cured it for you
Guess, I 'm going to have to find a ten-year-old kid to explain it to me

Best you log that as a bug or documentation error then
I don't have a mouse so can't say if it works on Windows or not
But the other CTRL key options do

Its not the worst thing ever, considering I'll just save as
Your file looks quite simple as regards the number of layers etc but if it was a more complex file, it may not have completely loaded into memory so a File > Save as... may not work in those circumstances.
Affinity highly recommends only working on local drives and using external drive for backups only
What sort of external drive were you working from/saving to?

Which help file would that be, & for which version (V1 or V2)?
APhoto V2 help file
5 minutes ago, R C-R said:The 3 'Hold the while...' items (two of which appear to be duplicates) do not in your paste show which key(?) to hold, nor do any that I have tried work to zoom in & out or left & right in V2 on my Mac.
Looks like copying from the Help file is a bit problematic and has missed out words
I have updated my post above with the missing words now added in bold

Plus, about the preview when exporting: I don't find any option the view... how can I see the preview at 100% or more?
From the Help file...
When previewing your export, the following modifier keys can be used to zoom in to areas of interest and view the results of different settings applied in the dialog:
- Hold the CTRL key while scrolling (using a scroll wheel, if available) to zoom in and out of the preview.
- Hold the Shift key while scrolling (using a scroll wheel, if available) to scroll left or right.
- Press CTRL + to zoom in.
- Press CTRL - to zoom out.
- Press CTRL +1 to zoom to 100%.
- Press CTRL +0 to zoom to fit.

and having four menu items in a row starting with the same verb impairs usability
Best they redesign the APhoto File menu also as there are currently 9 items that start with the word New or is it just verbs that are the problem

There is still appears to be something odd going on though with the blend mode fx on mac as far as I can tell
Well, if someone else with a Mac can recreate it then it's best to log a bug report so it gets looked into
But check the Mac beta first just in case that has a fix already

Again, this isn't affecting the Blend Mode in V1... (see previous post)
The OP uploaded a V2 document, (the one with the dots) how are you opening it in V1?

I upload two files.
One is of the jpg in question.
The other is the OutlineFX applied to a PNG test render. On my machine there are black dots all over the image. (Really unexpected behaviour)Simongranite_texture.afphoto 19.9 MB · 0 downloads SimonPacmutualTesRender.afphoto 55.97 MB · 0 downloads
In the texture file the blend modes work but you need another layer beneath them to see the effect (try another jpg placed below your image- resize it to fill the canvas)
The Render file has 100s of Partially Transparent pixels giving the Dots effect. You can see them if you do Select > Select Alpha Range > Select Partially Transparent with the image layer selected

At this point I am just loading-up any old jpg and trying to add an OutlineFX with a Blend mode, but no luck.
Upload that Affinity document (with the FX and Blend mode) to the forum so we can see what you have done
Node Tool not working!
in V2 Bugs found on Windows

If it's the red "nodes" (red handles) you are looking for, there are no "nodes" on a basic Rectangle for the Node Tool to interact with
Try it on a Rounded Rectangle and it will work
