Says "... cuves"... I assume it's supposed to be "curves".

Yeah, thanks. So I guess it's still an issue but only if you have graphite selected.

Great point! Yeah I agree. I was focusing on the artboard only because that's where I keep running into it.

Ahh! That's good to know! Thanks!

Taking the two same images I made a small change that I think would help the visibility of the selected layer/artboard in the layers panel. See attached.

@MattP Yeah I can totally understand that! It just seems to me that the ability to export PSD that actually is editable within Photoshop would allow us designers to use Affinity Designer/Photo 100% of the time and still give the client the format they want would really help with adopting the affinity apps into peoples workflow much easier. As it is now I have to work in Photoshop (for many clients) when really the affinity apps are much more intuitive for me. Anyway, thanks for all of your hard work! Looking forward to 1.7 release!

The selected artboard/layer is very subtly different than the other unselected artboards. It's not obvious at a glance what is selected.

When resizing an artboard, I'd like the artboard to snap to the edges of the contents within the artboard itself. Often times I'm resizing the artboard to fit the contents. With snapping turned on I expect the artboard to snap to the contents as well. This would really be a great little time saver rather than having to zoom way in to see if it's precisely where it needs to be.

Coming from Sketch to Affinity one thing I really miss are plugins to help fill gaps. A great one in Sketch/Photoshop is Craft by Invision. Its a bunch of features to help with designs but it also allows for you to easily export designs to Invision. This is great because you can immediately post a design to a project on Invision and share the link to get feedback in as few steps possible. I'd like to see Affinity designer allow plugin developers to add more functionality to the app so it can improve my workflow.

Got the Mac mini 2018 today and installed the memory. The process wasn't too bad. I bought an iFixit toolkit which really aided in the process. Nice to have 32GB of RAM with the ability to upgrade to 64GB! Anyway, I just downloaded the Affinity apps. If I see any issue's I'll post them.

@meb should Publisher's "vector" and "photo" personas be working with the latest 1.7.x betas of Designer and Photo at this time?

Makes sense. I was just curious if it was being addressed in this next version (v1.7).

Has anything been done (or can anything be done) to have better compatibility with PSD's in AD 1.7? I just did a quick test, exporting a simple file with 1 line of text and 4 simple shapes as a PSD and opened in the latest version of Photoshop and they're all rasterized, which is not useful to me when I want to work in Affinity Designer as my primary tool and export PSD's for clients to have an editable copy of the work since they use Photoshop. Does that make sense?

Yesss, love to hear that! Thanks!

Symbols for me where very unreliable and since I didn't see it listed as having been improved I thought I'd ask about it.
