When they will scale it to 1:1 the image would be 30 dpi at least, which is OK for such a big print. I'm doing the same.

Make the document 60 cm x ?? cm and put the picture with 300 dpi at least and make PDF.

When working on a document I expect the document to be exported as the main target.
In that case, do not select anything.
I agree with the author of the thread @Helmut Hauser.

One could even create a book in APhoto only, useless cumbersome but possible.
There are all kind of us but, nevertheless, Publisher is still DTP and layout app.

none of them is a DTP layout application like APhoto
BTW, Publisher is DTP layout app, not Photo.

Support for vba is another option so 3rd parties could write macros/plugins.
Much better solution is Python or JavaScript. Personally, I prefer Python.

Sorry, my bad. By 'Mac" I thought of 'Apple'. And by:

AFAIK they are only Mac apps.

I don't think Affinity will start with subscription model but, if so, I will stop using it (as I told to Pixelmator Pro when I got an announcement they start subscribing model with Pixelmator Photo).

Semantics.
I don't think so. Page is usually a piece of paper for writing/printing or a web page. Canvas is used by the artists to paint on them with brushes and other materials.

Actually Designer and Photo make a "canvas"
Actually, there is no "canvas" in Designer. When you create a new document you can set page width and height.
-
As we know Publisher uses pages, Designer -- artboards and Photo -- page/artboard = ?
But, if Designer uses artboards, why when creating a new document it is set to create a new page instead of artboard. Yes, I know there is a checkbox for artboard creation, but it is not the point. Lets say you created a new page. After that there is no option AFAIK to add a new single or facing page(s) and when you select "Create Artboard" tool -- the page vanishes.
So, what is the purpose of the (only one) page you can create? Why this option is not removed and let Designer works only with artboards as it should be?
NOTE: Not intereseted in setting "Create Artboard" as default.

Does the probelm stem from the fact that this is originally an .ai file?
Everything imported (placed) or opened in Affinity, becomes Affinity's document.

When I look at this "group" of labels, the font display bar is also empty
It is empty because it contains text with more than one font. If you select a font from the "font display bar" then all of your text will be formated with that font.

For perspective, another company whose software I use (infrequently, mind you) hasn't released an update in nine years. And the next version has been "coming soon" for six years. On the flip side, if you ask them a question on their forums, they typically respond within a day or two.
Papyrus (Author)?

It can be done this way:
- If an object/layer is selected then you crop only the selection;
- If no object/layer is selected, then when you click on crop tool, the complete document is selected for cropping.

I get the feeling that this is a rhetorical question, and is a rather roundabout way of saying that you think it should be available in Photo! If so I would certainly agree that it would be handy to be able to crop individual objects (as well as the whole canvas, not instead!) in Photo, without having to open the file in Designer.
I just wanted to be sure it can't be used the same way as in Designer and Publisher to make suggestion to the Affinity Team.

doesn’t exist in Photo
This is the exact answer to my question. Nothing more.

Thanks Carl and Garry. I'm familiar with clipping and masking, but I strictly want to use cropping.

Looks like you’ll need to use clipping as mentioned above, unless someone else has a better idea.
Not clipping, but cropping like in Designer and Publisher.

If you have Designer then you can switch to that application and do the crop there, then switch back to Photo.
If you don’t have Designer then you can clip the layer within another layer (e.g. a rectangle, or other shape, with no fill or stroke).I have all three apps, but I want to do it in Photo not in other two.

Long time ago I asked for the same feature and suggested Affinity to add in paragraph styles option -- something like "space before" -- which will start a paragraph at a specific distance from top margin (not from a last line of a previous paragraph). I find this very useful, but others users suggest to me to do a workarround with tables -- which is not very elegant.
