BUG
I don't see any use of "lock" on layers. If I'm working on 100 layers, and I've saved a few layers as references and locked them.. but if layer is selected and (not intentionally) and an Assistance will come and will say.. "HA HA HA... this time I have killed you " It does't even tell me that my layer is locked, I accidentally selected a locked layer out of 100 layers, and that is not preserved anymore.
How to reproduce:
1. Create a document
2. Draw something on selected layer
3. Lock this layer
4. Select Eraser and Erase some part on the layer image
5. this layer will be unlocked by itself and A small Assistance will appear that "
It should prompt that layer is locked and you can't edit it..

Thank you for the tip, But couldn't find any "use" of this Assistance then. Because a layer is locked and I just don't want to get it broken, and an Assistance will come and will say.. "HA HA HA... this time I have killed you " It don't even tell me that my layer is locked, I accidentally selected a locked layer out of 100 layers, and that is not preserved anymore..

Hello Sir, Once again i'm sorry if somebody has requested for this feature or reported this bug... but this is too important and annoying.
The use of "Esc" key in very proper way...
The default use of "Esc" is "don't apply these changes and close this opened command."
suppose I've opened an image, and pressed "command+m" it will open Curve Adjustment, now there is no use of "Esc" you have to manually press "close" button.. but even if i pressed close button, or clicked outside that Curves Adjustment applies.. I've to manually select that layer and delete it. and the delete button on "Curves" dialogue box is un-necessary.
Secondly, if I pressed command+t it will load a big box of text, and no esc works on it and one has to close that box manually. too annoying.. "BTW try Laptops and see how difficult it becomes to move full arm from keyboard to touchpad so repeatedly.
Similarly , if I used erase brush or any color brush, it pixelate image without letting me know if I really want this to happen or not. This should first ask "If i really want to pixelate it or not" And if I press "Esc" it shouldn't pixelate the image so I could do that manually (after making a backup layer). Because there is no "smart" object option in AP, so once image is "not pixelated" it is already smart object and can be scaled up or down, but once it is pixelated, all information is lost and that can't be scaled up anymore. So there should be a "confirmation" dialogue instead of "you are already killed" dialogue.
And there, where escape shouldn't close the box, it is totally ruining the system. in system preferences, if I accidentally changed anything.. the press of "Esc" not only applies that, but also closes that ..
OMG.. what change did I do?..
Please make "Esc" to just go to Preferences's home view and remove the "close" button and change that to "save/apply". And "close" button here and "x" button on the top are same. if some change is made, the "esc" shouldn't apply that but go to Preferences's home view.
This all goes to.. "MESH TOOL", "Transform", "etc" ... "Enter/Return" to "apply" and "Esc to Cancel"
I hope these changes will put some ease in life..
Thank you

@Jowday and "Esc" is useless in Affinity so far, only works where it is not required.
check my just reported bug.

Thanks

Hello,
I wanted to make an action, in that I need one text layer (entered by the user), and hit play (the action).
- This has to first convert it into smart object (Not available in AP)
- make it's different copies
- re-position them according to the shape
- apply different effects
- change colors as needed
- Distort them without converting them into "pixel" layers (Not available in AP)
- make one scaleable smart object
now the user realises the spelling are wrong..
- He only edits one text layer
- That will update all the text (Not available in AP)
Current actions even't doesn't support assets, even if those are made during macro recording.
Current actions doesn't allow me to change colors
Current available distortion converts text into pixels and no return..
Thank you

@mfarooqi I agree - the default keypress is horrible!
Affinity uses the double click to enter containers and drill down one layer, so I'd like to see Modifier + Double Click be used to jump up one layer. Perhaps Alt + Double Click?
clicking double does step in one group and then to second and then to third.. but one sudden unintentional click on the canvas will take you to the great-grand-grand-grand-parent group.
Should I share video as demo? ..

There are already two keypresses (Ctrl+Alt+[ and Ctrl+Alt+] on PC) that select the Next and Previous sibling in the Layer tree.
While using drawing apps, most of the time you use keyboard with one hand and dont' leave mouse. But such keyboard shortcuts need both hands. while.. Double click to get in.. and escape or even double click outside of the child group should go to parent groups and so on..

As Gabriel says, the developers say this is by design for font selection
There are always many things called "bugs" and others "features" ... But if the feature is not working in positive way that becomes bug and vice versa..
So Please "by design" things are "only by design" when those are looking good otherwise we should update as demands.
or at least privilege users to change only font's backgrounds .
Thank you

I was making a logo from multiple shapes... and came up with a lot of garbage on the stage. I thought may be it happens so I tested other software.. Xara there everything was quite smooth with nothing extra on stage.To do this..
create multiple circular shapes or only circles randomly positioned overlapping each other.
Select them all
add vector color+some visible thickness
Hit "Divide"
now start moving shapes apart..
you will see a number of leftover garbage stuff on stage.Please take a look on video to understand it more clearly what I mean.

I hope it will work. for you

any plan in next coming updates?

I've been following such content, but still I don't see any change in UI even after change in Panels, Layer's names, Studios, or any thing within APP.. only menu font size is changed.

I agree .. You are absolutely right. The Stores (Microsoft and Apple) have already taken their percentage shares.. and the good in Apple is, their store is compatible with their older Versions while as long as your Affinity supports that OS version. But in Microsoft we are limited to window 10.. .
In Mac we are very much use to with App Store,.. while in Windows 10.. we are not!. so It makes sense now that they don't share info... but still their are many ways to connect your buyers to reach to you through OS Stores... I guess... make your app be used with Email address (and these email address will be valid only if registered on Serif store). like in some apps Autodesk is doing... so you can link registered users with their product key..
Buy decision is yours.. I could only suggest.
Thank you very much.
-
So it should be very simple.. that, you guys sell product key on Microsoft or Serif, In whatever way the buyer buys,, he can access to his purchased keys in Affinity account.
How many times a "customer asks" Serif team before buying.. I think 1 after 25.. like me, i didn't ask where should I buy it from, but only paid on Affinity store for windows and Apple store for mac.
So the best is.. You should have buyers account, and each account should have their "Product key".. Simple! (i think it is possible).
-
Thank you Walt, It is right that Microsoft Store limits it. But shouldn't you give your users be happy with you.. Recommend your buyers to buy it from Affinity store instead of Windows. This will give them ease in later. or you remove apps from Windows Store and make it only accessible as traditional methods..
I've already bought on both OSs,.. and made many of my friends to buy Affinity, .. I will ask them to go on Affinity store and not on windows store.

The Affinity Store version works on Windows 10, 8.1 or 7 SP1, and you can use the same product key to install it on any compatible device that you own or control. The Microsoft Store version only works on Windows 10, and there’s no product key because the purchase is tied to your Microsoft account.
really? this is not good i think in that way.. There should be some way to get product key available in Affinity store in any case.. either buy it from Windows Store or from Affinity Store. or you should mention it an any way.
I own windows 10 Tablet + PC ( Now i think I luckily bought it from Affinity store) I'm using the same. But If I would have bought it from Windows store.. i was definitely be going mad on Affinly.
Please make it one time purchase for at least same OS family. Windows 7,8, 10 / MAC
Thank you.
Thanks 
Any future plans for Mesh Tool like in Illustrator

You are right @Spelmann. I accept my mistake and I apology for that. But since that was published and I've got a few reply I left that there..
We should re-quote this, so we could continue with the same discussion what was supposed to be under "mesh tools" request.
Thank you.
