Hi, Sometimes graphic designers send me .ai files which I open in Affinity, but the text layers show every single letter as a layer or sublayer, which makes it really hard to edit a sentence. Is there a setting that can turn this sub-layering off, so that layers just resolve back into coherent single layers that hold small chunks of text that are easily editable? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much. Ray

Hi, I am trying to use the color picker to select a color (nothing more), but when I select a color the entire image changes to that color. I am trying to select a color for the flood fill feature, but from reading the forum, it seems like the programmers have put behaviors into these tools which make them really difficult to use. I have unticked the apply to the entire image box and it still does it. I am using version 2.0.4. Even when using the flood fill feature, it doesn't allow me to flood fill the white space around my image (which is all I am trying to do, should take a milli-second and be super easy), but it just changes the color of the main image when selecting the color from the color window. Any ideas on how to get Affinity to select a color without forcing color changes on areas of the image that I haven't asked for? And using the flood fill feature to color the white space around an image? I have watched a few YouTube videos and read these forums, but nothing works with my version, the forced behavior to change my entire image color remains. Thanks Ray
