@v_kyr: I knew about the rasterization... the difference here would be ~35 kb, what's exaptable.
However, you motivated me to try a pure SVG-alternative
It was easy – with your example code – but I don't manage to get rid off the one pixel outline/glow in the upper right part of the circle. I think that masking could be the solution, but I still don't get it implemented. Have to look deeper into that...
<circle cx="1860.6" cy="338.234" r="338.686" style="filter:url(#ausschnitt-shadow)"/> [...] <defs>     <filter id="ausschnitt-shadow">         <feDropShadow dx="-17" dy="17" stdDeviation="10" flood-color="black" flood-opacity="0.4"/>         <feComposite operator="out" in2="SourceGraphic"/>     </filter> </defs>
 

Thanks joe_l, that's it!
I didn't recognize the select box in the popup.

The increasing negativity towards Affinity on these forums is becoming worrisome. I'm unsure whether it stems from disappointment or frustration, but it's unfair for some users to constantly criticize Affinity, especially with the release of a new version that has impressive features. Is there something I'm overlooking? As far as I know, Affinity is still performing well on my devices.

You can also open PDF in Preview and print it to .ps, which has text as curves as result. That opens fine in Designer.

Yep, that's possible. Have a look at the context menu of the "Text Styles" Studio/Panel...

Vector files exported by AD are at least twice as big as the same file exported by Adobe Illustrator.
I've just now exported a logo: 28.108 bytes with AD ("SVG for web"), 15.365 10.663 bytes with AI. (Updated: Smaller file had display errors)
 
Small files sizes are IMHO still important when exporting graphics for the web...
Can we expect improvements in this case?

AD is already an impressive tool... but it produces far too many points when converting shapes to curves. That makes it a poor choice for creating glyphs which shall be used on websites and for creating fonts.
 
Example/attachment: Here I've drawn an ellipsis and converted it to curves. Illustrator needs 4 points for a circle, AD about 25.

Hope, you will improve that...

It would be very helpful, if dragging & dropping a picture from the "Stock" palette in AP would create a layer with the filename of the image.
 
Currently it creates a layer that is just called "(Picture)" which makes it "a bit" difficult to find that image again in case you want to buy it...
 
Thanks & best wishes Tom
