Using Symbols would seem to be, at first glance, an ideal choice for this.
Is there some reason why using Symbols didn’t work for you?

Draw a triangle, convert to curves, select the corner tool, select all corners and round like you’ve never rounded before.
 
Alternatively, if you drew your shape, you can select the corner tool and click and drag on a corner right away, even though it doesn’t show the “nodes” initially. It’ll convert the shape to curves automatically then (and then also show the corner nodes).

No, the machine has to serve the human, not the other way ’round. The software/UI has to do what the users want and if the users want a crop tool, give it to them! Especially since a “crop/trim canvas” function would be a tremendous time saver as opposed to going into document setup.
 
For example: I have three small objects on a large canvas (no artboard) and I want to export these three objects as one image — crop/trim canvas (better yet with a shortcut) and hitting Ctrl/Cmd-X would be a thousand times faster than selecting all objects to look at the transform panel and find out the dimensions, then unselecting them, going into document options, entering the dimensions, setting the scaling behavior, and then exporting the image. Likewise, using the export persona for such a simple operation is overkill because you still have to perform multiple steps just for a quick export.
 
The workflow problem is currently prevalent. That you can’t imagine the use of a cropping function doesn’t mean that everybody else is at fault.

Hi @VIPStephan,
These tabbing issues in the export menu have been previously logged with the developers, I've bumped the issue with your report.

Actually, I just found this tutorial for vector shapes along a path and this gave me the idea that you could create a diagonal line, make it a symbol and copy/paste that symbol inside the text frame on the path as often as you like. Then you can change one symbol instance’s line properties (stroke width, line length etc.) and it will change for all symbols.

Put vector objects to a spiral or curved path like a text.
Here is example:

Please don’t post the same question in multiple places in the forums.
Not only does that cause more work for people, including yourself, but other people looking for the same answer may find that more difficult.

Not a question, but I had the issue and found a simple solution.
My issue was that I am used to change the brush size with the secondary wheel on my mouse. This did not work in AF 2.0.
Simple solution - open 1.x, go to settings / Shortcuts and save the current settings. - same in 2.x but this time load the saved file. Now everything works as before and I don't have to dig into what settings I changed in the past.

The main issue with Stock files and Affinity seems to be EPS files with embedded AI data-streams. In other words, EPS files that are hybrids, not pure EPS, so they can't include functions that EPS doesn't support directly.

There are threads about sewing patterns or stitch etc. search instead after that topic in the forum!

One way to do so would be via text on path along a rounded rect (see above) Another to use a stroke with a brush line of //// chars etc. (I used a dot stroke above)

Yeah, the measurement tool seems very limited at the moment. Perhaps that is something they improve in future but at the moment you can only measure for yourself and not make it an object that can be exported.

Ah, right, placing an image in a document is different than opening it itself. I didn’t consider that.
FYI: If you want the image as layers/group inside the current document, double click the placed image (as you did when editing) and copy all the layers from the placed image into the current document. You can then delete the embedded image and work with the objects directly.

Hi and welcome,
I downloaded the account-badge icon and opened it in Affinity Designer. You should be able to select the object and then in the Color panel choose any color you like.

Being a German speaker, I can barely make out what you wrote in Dutch but I can’t answer in Dutch, so I will do it in English:
Are you asking about a specific application (Designer/Photo/Publisher) or in general? Here is how Gaussian blur is done in AD:

Keyboard focus for input fields is very inconsistent and unreliable in the export preview window if I press the TAB key. There are different issues under different conditions.
Prerequisite steps:
Disable full keyboard access in macOS settings (for me on Catalina that’s in “System Settings > Keyboard” and there is a checkbox at the bottom; in more recent versions this might be under “Accessibility”, as described at https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/navigate-your-mac-using-full-keyboard-access-mchlc06d1059/12.0/mac/12.0) – the keyboard shortcut for this is Ctrl-F7 Start Affinity Designer from scratch Create a new document Export document (File > Export…) to bring up export preview Press TAB and/or Shift-TAB multiple times to move focus (see steps to reproduce further down) What is expected to happen:
First input field (file width) should be focused on first press of TAB key. Subsequent key presses should move the focus between the available input fields over and over again; Shift-TAB should move the focus backwards through the fields.
What is actually happening:
First field is only focused after pressing TAB two times, tab moves through fields but then disappears instead of circling through the fields.
Steps to observe/reproduce:
After opening the export preview, press TAB key once, there is no visual feedback (i. e. it feels like nothing is happening) Press TAB again, the first input field (width) is focused (Subsequent keypresses move the focus to height and image quality fields) With image quality field focused, press TAB again and the focus disappears Press TAB again (as often as you like), focus will never circle back to the first field At that point press Shift-TAB; seemingly nothing is happening Press Shift-TAB a second time and the focus goes back to the image quality field If you keep moving the focus backwards to the width field and continue backwards, the focus will disappear and after four keypresses will be back at the image quality field Move the focus into the image quality field (using the keyboard, of course) Press TAB two times (focus disappears) Press the down key; the image quality is lowered one step, the preview image is reloaded and the TAB functionality is apparently completely lost (i. e. pressing TAB or Shift-TAB doesn’t do anything anymore) Press Shift-TAB and then the up or down key again and image quality is changed again Press TAB and up or down keys and nothing happens Close export preview and export the same document again; the focus will not work at all (i. e. it’s stuck at point 9.2 above). If anything on this list isn’t reproducible, quit and restart AD again. Once the input fields are focused with the mouse pointer, none of the above is happening anymore.
Even with full keyboard access enabled, the focus behavior is very confusing; it requires many keypresses to move focus between different sections or isn’t possible to move it to the next section at all. Also, once I open the background color select, I can’t close it with the keyboard.

No, the machine has to serve the human, not the other way ’round. The software/UI has to do what the users want and if the users want a crop tool, give it to them! Especially since a “crop/trim canvas” function would be a tremendous time saver as opposed to going into document setup.
 
For example: I have three small objects on a large canvas (no artboard) and I want to export these three objects as one image — crop/trim canvas (better yet with a shortcut) and hitting Ctrl/Cmd-X would be a thousand times faster than selecting all objects to look at the transform panel and find out the dimensions, then unselecting them, going into document options, entering the dimensions, setting the scaling behavior, and then exporting the image. Likewise, using the export persona for such a simple operation is overkill because you still have to perform multiple steps just for a quick export.
 
The workflow problem is currently prevalent. That you can’t imagine the use of a cropping function doesn’t mean that everybody else is at fault.

In light UI mode the slider handles are barely visible.

This toolbar issue appears for me if I unplug my other monitor and AD has to move all windows back to one monitor. The workaround to get the toolbars back without resetting AD is to change the screen resolution (and then change it right back), so it can recalculate the proper positions.

Ah, thank you, that wasn’t obvious to me. :)

I have found that regardless of whether or not the icons I export need it or not Affinity Designer is adding the following styles "fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:2;". I have to use a code editor to manually remove the unnecessary styles before I use it on the web. This isn't terrible but it is an extra step. It would be great to see the export feature improved for web use.
