[Fail: Boolean Divide Shapes With Tangents]

I don´t have the issue neither in Inkscape or Intaglio.

The underlying maths needs more love as stated and reviewed all over this forum.

[Fail: Boolean Divide Shapes With Tangents]

When there´s not the slightest overlapping no "cutting" will happen.

Here´s to an easier more robust/reliable way:

And here´s a quicker way with 2 squares:

1. draw square

2. double and  round corners - bake corners

3. select both and call Boolean subtract then Divide right after - 4 corner parts:

Affinity Photo: Flood selection tool comes to mind:

I don´t get the picture - maybe like so?

[Overflowing text in dokument - where is it?]

Not sure if this helps - but overflowing text is marked with a "crossed" red eye:

Then maybe a simple gaussian blur layer effect will do:

... and there are 4 types of gradients - not just linear.

[Vector export line caps not smooth]

Try export SVG (for web). It will plot curves per pixel resolution it seems.

[Warp Mesh Tool]

It´s in Affinity Photo.

[Affinity designer Snap]

AD uses bounding boxes or points to snap - no tangential aligning support afaik - when there´s no point you can use the "point transform tool" to generate one:

Maybe this helps.

[My "place" instruction not working]

And simply "open with" or how it´s called in Windows on that image won´t work?

[How do you blend two colors to make it look gradient-ish]

No clue about the "complexity" of the shapes - but gradient-tool won´t work for you?

On a T shirt technically there is no sides, there's only front and back.

Well most if not all T-shirts are made from knitwear-hoses - so no seams for front and back - just shoulder+arms and there are "all-over- and wraparound-printing" solutions.

[Way to scale rounded corners proportionally?]

Something like this?

[How do you blend two colors to make it look gradient-ish]

If you want a more "painterly" approach there´s the "Paint Mixer Brush" or "Blur Brush Tool" in APhoto.

[How to add curves without getting cutouts]

You might want to "Expand stroke" before Boolean Add curves+shapes:

[Affinity Designer 1.7 - embedding images]

Done here: 

 

[Deleting embedded image forces AD to close a file]

Procedure:

1. either drag an image onto AD´s icon in the dock or drag it aside the canvas; it will be locked and visible.

2. drag the image to trash 

3. AD will prompt with this error:

4. you can´t work around it because macOS trash is blocked; you can´t simply try to put the image back.

5. Hit "OK" and your file will be gone for ever.

Conclusion: Drag an image explicit to the canvas if you prefer drag&drop or use "Place..." from the File menu. When it received a "Lock" as a property don´t delete image (move to the Trash) or you will loose that file.

[[AD] Selecting a node that is under another node]

I found one can shuffle points in the same spot along Z-axis with arrow-up/down keys - but it´s a bit of trial&error as you most likely don´t see the point order.

Cheers

[Affinity Designer 1.7 - embedding images]

Ok - happened again - I do not know if I could have rescued it by pulling the image out of trash instantly - but hitting "OK" button will close the file&work - left with nothing.

Are you probably talking about "View->Toggle UI" - shortcut "tab"?

Is there any chance we will ever get a dedicated scale tool? I mean, select anything, objects or nodes, click to set origin and drag to scale (shift-drag to constrain proportionally). To me it’s industry standard. The current scaling options and the new node tool are interesting but limiting.

Seems you didn´t discover Transform modes yet?
