Well, some of us Affinity users (like yours truly) have even wasted years at art schools to learn the basics of graphic design first.  
Or, some others (also like yours truly) have been so indoctrinated for decades by the Ubiquitous Adobe Cult that it took them another few years to switch their mindset to fully understand what they're now dealing with as Affinity users. (Spoiler: it worked out fine for me )
In other words:
Take your time. Be patient.
Also, please don't be rude on the forum to "make a point".
If only there were a trial version of Affinity to check everything out before the purchase… 
Oh, wait!

My apologies for omitting the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags.  
If I would travel all the way back in time, I have been also "indoctrinated" by Aldus PageMaker, Aldus FreeHand, QuarkXPress et al before even entering the Adobeverse.
It always takes time to make a switch from a tool you were able to handle in your sleep. There was a time about 30 years ago when I knew QXP v3 and v4 inside out, off the top of my head. Everything. Some of my custom keyboard shortcuts in Affinity are still based on that.

I see. Well, I've been a Mac user since 1988 or so, thus I may have "missed" thousands of obscure software titles…  

It depends on the understanding of "well". – Can it create sets within catalogs? The macOS Finder seems to handle the folder structure as is, unable to combine individual aspects in a 'saved' view, possibly containing image files of different but only selected folders and/but without starting a search every time before displaying the desired view.
Also I'd miss in a Finder view as contact sheet for instance…
• the choice for show/hide certain information below every thumbnail on the sheet(s), e.g. name, creation date, pixel dimension, file size / or name + size only etc.
• adjustable number of items per page of a contact sheet (rows, columns),
• adjustable space between the thumbnails in a contact sheet,
• adjustable background colour (e.g. gray for screen view / white for print),
• a choice to output in low or in full resolution (in a PDF for instance)
• etc.…

Well, even at 1000000 dpi, a 100×100 px image will still remain a 100×100 px image…  
In other words, if you need more pixels, make your artboard larger.
Also, View→View Mode→Pixels setting is your friend, even before you export.

@currentuser, some recommended reading on the topic:

Hello Affinity Forum!
I am super excited to be joining the conversation here as the new Head of Enablement in Affinity, having officially stepped into the role around six weeks ago. It’s been a fantastic whirlwind getting to know the team, the processes, and most importantly, the Affinity community.
As many of you know, things on the release and update front have been a little quiet lately. But now that I’m in this new and exciting seat, I’m really looking forward to helping get the momentum rolling again and making sure the amazing work we are doing with Affinity, and our end users, shines as brightly as it deserves to. 

Please bear with me as I get up to speed properly with comments, requests and issues. I am looking forward to sharing updates, insights, and highlights as we go. Affinity is very much here to stay - It is great to be part of this company and community! 
My background is in delivering Training to a wide network of users as well as running webinars, and events. I am happy to connect and chat to you ALL.  

I live by a simply phrase - It is nice to be nice. So let's have some fun and creative some amazing things together.

Very best 
Ian Sayers

Hey folks, 
Let me start by introducing myself...

Hello, I am Ian Sayers and have recently just started with Affinity as Head of Enablement. - check this link i have literally just posted.

I can assure you 100% that Affinity is not only still here but growing and thriving. I am only in a few weeks so give me a little more time to get my feet under the table and into the processes and working methods, then we can all have some proper fun!

In the meantime, I am happy to connect and chat (as much as possible with the million things to learn and do while joining an amazing company). reach out and connect on my social media accounts or here on the forum. Most things are found under iwsayers or just my name.

I greatly appreciate this forum and everyone that contributes in a helpful manner. 

Very best
Ian
 
 

To batch apply to the vast majority of possible matches, use a regular expression:
View > Studio > Find And Replace Find > cog button > select Match Case and Regular Expression Find: insert "\b(\s?[^\.]?\s\b)([A-Z]\w+)\b" (without the quotes) Replace with: "$1" (without the quotes) & popup menu > Special Characters > Soft Hyphen (inserts a special symbol) & "$2" (without any whitespace and without any quotes) Find – check the list of search results Replace all
apu_regex_unhyph_caps.mp4   As for this  \b(\s?[^\.]?\s\b)([A-Z]\w+)\b and $1 $2 gibberish search/replace strings:
\b = word boundary ( ) = parentheses create a search group \s = white space or line break ? = optional [^\.]? = excludes a result that contains a period if present but optionally allows characters like comma, semicolon or dash, i.e. excludes any words at the beginning of a sentence \b[A-Z] = looks for caps at the word beginning (Match Case must be enabled) \w+ = the first word character must be followed by one or more characters $1 = the result in the 1st search group (parentheses 1) remains unchanged inbetween we're inserting the soft hyphen $2 = the result in the 2nd search group (parentheses 2) remains unchanged Regex is fun. I'm still learning, and stuff like this is a great exercise.

Hi Mike,
thanks for translating the chars - just a grammar correction for me:
- "Mezera" is feminine, hence "á":
Střední matematický mezera* - Střední matematická mezera*
Em mezera rozčtvrcený*† - Em mezera rozčtvrcená*†
En mezera rozčtvrcený*† - En mezera rozčtvrcená*†
 
- Rozdělovač nulová šířka - Rozdělovač nulové šířky, or Rozdělovač, nulová šířka
- Ukotveného objektu, although it's not entirely wrong, because it's actually the Char of the anchored object (Značka ukotveného objektu), written on its own (without the Char/Značka) it should be "Ukotvený objekt". 

You must be a genuinely lucky person if you perceive this as "real pain"…  
Place the Image Capture app in your Dock and then: 
Because clicking an existing icon in your Dock will cause you about as much "pain" as navigating to the File menu in APh and selecting the "Acquire Image" menu item anyway.
Then follow the setup procedure I've linked to.
If you don't want Image Capture to live in your Dock, set it up like this: 
This complete workflow can be run by a few keyboard shortcuts. 
To set it all up will take you a one-time investment of a few minutes which will be worthwhile if you… 
 

It depends on your definition of 'soon'. Affinity have been aware of this bug for nigh on four years now, so don't hold your breath.
