I often need to work with documents that have an unhealthy amount of layers.
A fast way to search a certain layer by it's name would really help.
Now I need to review the complete layer list over and over again, sometimes missing the layer, starting over etc...
This is actually the only feature I miss from Photoshop.
 
I know there is a feature where you can click objects and have the layer selected, but that does not help me because most layers I need to find are not visible.

While I do appreciate the help given, it is not what I have asked. Twice, I have mentioned that I am on macOS, which is the fruit logo'd computer that does not run Windows.
I know how to choose profiles in all Affinity products, and how to select them on output. My question was : where do I add the icc profile in macOS so that it becomes available inside the Affinity suite ?
Sorry if I was not clear enough..

Just a quick follow up.
It seems that my problem was to blame at Apple raid. I use a few RAID 0 striped sets, and even in Finder I noticed laggy performance, while the raid set should have 6000mb+ read and write speeds.
I have now switched over to softraid, and performance seems to be more reliable.
So please ignore my previous message.

I would really love to have a function to search layers by name.
 
I often have to deal with documents that have close to 100 layers (don't ask, they are provided by the client this way), and digging through the list of layers is insanely time consuming.
The dark side has had this function for ages, and I understand that this might not be easy to implement, but this would make my job so much easier, so therefor this feature request.

toutou, no problem.. I thought it was funny
 
RM f/g, indeed, that's the place ! I previously added it to the library folder on my backup drive... which is why it didn't show up in the export dialog...duh...
Thanks everybody for the assistance.

I found this thread when searching for printing options, and I want to add my vote for more robust printing features.
 
I do lot's of large format printing on a HP z3100 44" printer, and I have currently finished a job entirely in Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, yet I find myself incapable of printing it.
I'm now exporting everything to tiff & pdf to open it in other applications just to print it.
 
The standard OS X print dialog is sufficient for pages, numbers, office type applications, but it really falls short for any designer related print work.
For years I have used Photoshop, Lightroom and Acrobat (for vector work) to print as they are the gold standard.
 
 
All the info requested above is right on the mark, so no need for me to repeat.
