Interesting...
I could see modifications to the pixel selection (in Photo for example) being logged in undo history, but selecting and deselecting layers is as well - that definitely shouldn't be, I agree.
At least it does consolidate down to just one if you change it several times in a row.

This will be in 1.8, and the next beta.
Petar, can you give an example? If a line begins

I think it would look weird if the opening quote was not the same size as the T.

The export persona as it exists in Photo and Designer have a number of quite useful features which are not available in the export dialog: the ability to export cropped portions of a document without actually cropping the document, continuous exporting, etc.
There may be a few corner cases where some of that would be useful for Publisher, but very little of it would be relevant often enough to make it worthwhile in its current form, in my opinion.
Much more useful would be a few other related features that don't currently exist in any of the Affinity products, but which would lend themselves to an export/output-focused persona, and most if not all of these have been discussed in other threads on the forum - in particular:
Preflight checks (color space usage, ink coverage checking, font types and availability, overflowing text frames, etc.) Color separations Preview with the simulated color space of a known output device (what will it look like when printed on printer X...) - this one is currently possible using an adjustment layer but having it in a dedicated export persona would be a helpful alternative The ability to maintain multiple export presets for a given document. Each should allow the selection of pages and/or sections to be exported together as a unit.  Similar to slices in the export persona of the other apps, but instead of cropping a section of a page, you would be able to specify that specific sections of a document should be included in a particular pre-defined export so that multiple partial documents could be produced out of one master document. These could also have independent settings for things like bleed, color separations, output format (PDF / quality settings /etc.), imposition type and options, and so on.  This would allow setting up an export for print, another for a PDF to be distributed over the web, etc... There should also be an ability to do a batch export by selecting more than one preset in a list and clicking one button to export all of them in one step. For settings which are designed for print, it should also be possible to print directly from one of these presets.

I'm a big fan of the liquify persona, one thing I would like is to have a rectangular or bar brush.  When moving a far or body having a circular brush is not easy to operate on most things.  It would work much better if a bar that can be rotated as needed was used to push the pixels rather than the round brush.

It would be nice too, to have possibility to omit the first character if it is an interpunction symbol.

It's easy to make your own additional levels. Just model them after the kind of changes made for levels 1 through 3. The changes are, mainly, setting a "next level" in level 3, and for level 4 increasing the left-indent, and changing the kind of numbering or bullet.

Oddly enough this one is actually control+shift+(bracket) on the Mac also.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums
To all readers of this thread,
The ability to insert a number of pages of one publisher document into another publisher document is being worked on actively at the moment, and will appear in a beta when it is ready for customer beta appraisal. It requires quite a lot of programming to achieve what would be desired with respect to text styles, master pages, index links, text flow etc, as you have seen from the participants of this and other threads.
 

SynFig studio, DAZ Studio, ..., ...

He is asking you to switch temporarily in order to see how it impacts the energy usage in an effort to isolate where the problem is.  He is not trying to imply that this is the final solution.
Rather than waste a zillion posts complaining about something that isn't there, consider helping him to help you...

that has already been done. Try to keep up.

There are a few camera-specific RAW developers which will do this for some cameras.  They do not change the image data, but as @JeffreyWalther suggested, simply update the metadata stored in the file indicating what the "camera" settings were.
I don't realistically see this happening for a generic application that deals with a range of cameras across multiple companies.
I don't think most of the "big" camera companies tend to offer this either, but SIGMA Photo Pro does this for example.
 
This is how non-destructive RAW development software works - DXO Photolab, Capture One, On1 Photo RAW (as long as you are not using the "layers" feature), etc.
Affinity Photo is a different kind of program.  Once you start editing the image data the layer becomes a "pixel" layer and attempting to re-develop the RAW data would wipe out the edits that you made.

A Wiki might be another option to consider, with limits on who can edit it.  There could be links back and forth between the Wiki and the forum.
A public ticketing system for feature requests and bug reports might be another option to consider.  That might make it easier to keep organized.
Just some food for thought.

it would be nice to be able to right-click in the pages and masters palettes to cut/copy/paste pages/masters.

Indeed powerful. In this example each object is 1 curve only, no fill, shaped & colored with Stroke & Pressure & Appearance panel only:


 

I've logged that issue, does just seem to be a label mix up though, but thanks for reporting.
For now, yes that is the case. It's just the way it's been designed.

I want a quick way to move focus to type x, y, w, h  to positon or resize object....
When a hotkey can focus to Transform Panel's X: to input number and type Tab to type Y: number....

I'm divided on this.
A lot of the "AI" stuff that has been added to photo tools is gimmicky and doesn't work as well as the demos make it appear.
I haven't really looked at the AI selection tool from Photoshop, but I would expect that if Adobe is using AI tech for something in that program, they probably did a good job with it and made it more legit than most of the other stuff that is out there.
If such a tool can be done well in the Affinity products, I certainly do not object to having more powerful tools available, especially for something as potentially transformational as getting clean selections of complex objects such as hair.
However, on the general concept of using AI technology to "improve many aspects of image editing", I would be cautious of getting into the thought pattern of AI being an improvement in general, as it often does not deliver, and for a small team like the one at Serif, with products which are still fairly early in their development, I think they would be better off prioritizing other more important features and the kinds of small improvements that can make a significant difference for users, rather than wasting a lot of time on chasing buzzwords such as "AI" unless there are proven legitimate benefits from a particular use case of it.

Hi Team,
I just made a layout for a questionary, simply to awnser with yes or no. To have a leading checkbox in a different color for example to choose "yes" or "no" you have to enter that manually. The only option is to fill the tab-step in order to get a line, here I've chosen the dots. This is how the tabstop panel looks like …

The editor for the List styles has more options for leading signs, boxes or whatever. This is the feature I'd like to have for the tabstops too. Maybe like this, according to my example in the background …

… in addition to the fillers, with leading signs or symbols, and styles. This would be unique and absolutely helpfull in so many cases!
 

The fact that they consider the availability of templates to be a key factor in determining whether or not a program could be considered a desktop publishing application worthy of even being listed on their site.
QuarkXPress was THE professional desktop publishing application at one time and did not offer templates.  Including that as a criteria for a generic review of a desktop publishing application (as opposed to a review for such an application to meet a specific need or set of needs which may include the availability of templates) in my opinion discredits the review site.

Our plan it to make things clearer for those who have not been around very long. Coming here as a newbie must be daunting to know where to start. So an FAQ type forum would be a good start.

Reset Formatting clears any changes you made that are not part of the style.  In effect, the style is the base formatting.
If you want to eliminate the formatting from the style, just pick a different style.
There are also "[No Style]" entries, but while this makes sense for character styles, I would argue that the "[No Style]" entry for paragraph styles is misleading at best, as it is technically a style itself.
