Thank you for the suggestion but this does not solve the issue that the app crashes when typing units in the scale field. Eitherway if there is a tool to measure something and configure a scale it should be possible for the tool to use different units than set for the document.

I just tried the new measurement tool and though I could enter a custom scale including a unit, for example "120px ~ 1cm" but doing so freezes the whole app. Omitting the "cm" unit just entering "120px ~ 1" works fine.

Curvature Combs visualize the curvature of a Bezier curve in order to enable the designer to draw smoother curves. See section 2.11 here: http://cagd.cs.byu.edu/~557/text/ch2.pdf Often I find my self in position that I drew a curve but it just does not look smooth enough and I fiddle around until it looks smooth. Would be great to have some more clear feedback.

@MEB Thanks!

I usually use my trackpad to zoom in and out of the canvas. Often my sloppy finger movement also causes the canvas to rotate. There does not seem to be a fast way to reset the rotation. Since I do not use the canvas rotation - as it does not work how I would expect it to, I would like to disable the rotation via trackpad entirely in order to save me resetting it every few minutes. It would be great if there was some option for doing so.

Right clicking does not work for me... But I came across another unexpected behavior: [see attachment]

Currently the pressure of the stroke's brush can be configured in a separate panel as seen in the attached image. Especially for more complex curves I find it very hard to adjust the graph in the panel to correctly match the segments of the curve. It would be really great to have a tool that shows the control points of the pressure graph directly on the canvas next to the spline so that the thickness of the path can adjusted in an immediate feedback loop. I imagine the controls something like in the second attached file.

Currently Affinity Designer can not open SVG files with embedded <style> Tags. All styles that are applied to elements via classes get discarded. I would be great if AD could support that. Another related useful feature would be to enable editing of elements inside a <defs> tag of an SVG file. I have a lot of svg files which have all their elements wrapped inside a defs tag in order to be used as sprite sheet on a web page later on. Currently when editing such a file in AD the artboard is completely empty so I need to remove the defs tag before editing and then add it back in afterwards manually. It would be cool if AD would handle that.

In my opinion it would be nice to have tooltips on the various constraint options.
