I'm not sure this is a bug or if the feature was altered but I do not see the option to include bleed when exporting PDF for print. I have a custom preset based on the PDF for print preset and it caused a delay for my clients. Am I missing something or is this a bug. I just noticed it on my Windows version but I also had the problem on the Mac version. 

How very odd, Charles! Are you saying that AD doesn’t appear on the Purchased tab? (I don’t have a Mac, so pretty much everything I’ve written here is based on what I’ve read in other threads.)

Alfred, you are clutch my man. I didn't think about going to the Purchases tab. There was an option to update from there! Thank you so much!! 

After making a switch from Inkscape to Affinity Designer... I mostly like it, but there are few features which I see missing and used them a lot... 
 
One of them is the ability to decide how the object alignment will work - esp. which object will be the reference for the alignment. 
 
Right now, if I want to align two (or more) objects - they are both moved towards each other...
In some cases, this is not desired, as if one object was already properly placed, I'd like to keep it where it was, and only have remaining objects moved.
 
 

 
 
In Inkscape, you can define in relation to what the alignment will be done.
 
For me, the most used (and missing in AD) reference options were Firs and Last selected - so respectively the first or last selected object won't move, and all others would be aligned to it.
 
Would you please consider it? 
 
 
 
 

This was very informative and well produced. Thank you so much for showing us how to do it! 

Not to pile on, but I agree. This is a crucial feature needed in order to completely replace "that which shall not be named". So far, other than this issue, I love AD.
 

OK, hopefully the product/dev team will take notice. Aligning to a key object is essential when you can't afford to guess which object will be picked as a key object. Even a minimal version of this that makes the first or last selected object the key object would already be a big step forward.

Charles,
 
I've been an advocate of adding "Hide/Show all" since I started using Designer. Having to dig through the Layers Panel is time consuming and it takes time and extra mousing, both of which I would like to reduce if possible. Unlocking is especially painful as there is no quick and easy way to do it now. Locking is easily done and hiding can be done but not nearly as fast as it could with a simple "Hide" command. Here's to hoping it gets added soon!

PLEASE add the unlock all feature. As stated above, this is very useful in the creation process, and is one of the features that I miss most about Illustrator. We constantly use keyboard shortcuts to switch between tools, and unlocking all is just as important. Going to the side, opening up the layer, and individually unlocking, takes way too long! 
 
 
I absolutely love Affinity Design, and appreciate the continual efforts to improve the program!
