I am also using Linked Document, same problem with Embedding document, I am not sure if these are the same issues with the post you provide, at lease it did not crash the  app on @madPXL 's computer. Thank you for giving me a hint that I can send screenshots to @NathanC, when I'm home.

I think that if Affinity supports extension development, it can solve all of these requirements and problems, and make Affinity even more capable. 😘

I've found these 2 interesting icons when customizing toolbar, have no idea what they are used for.
Same command will be found from the Layer menu -> Geometry, maybe someone can tell...

My pleasure

I write this command because I need to make perspective distortion on text/shape on my work and I found that kind of warp tool has stay in AffinityDesigner roadmap since 2014!
So I think I can do this in Fireworks and transfer the selected objects back to AD by a keyboard shortcut for quick.
 
  How to Install?
 
- download and unzip the zip file below, you will get the "Send to AffinityDesigner.jsf" file.
 
- copy & paste the .jsf to Fireworks installation path under "\Configuration\Commands"
   the full path should be like this:
X:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS6\Configuration\Commands
 
 
  How to Use?
 
- export eps from AD to Fw,
 
- make any changes in Fw that you can't do in AD,
 
- run "Send to AffinityDesigner" from Commands menu in Fw,
 
- now AD will auto load the vector/bitmap shapes from Fw without manual saving & opening,
 
- you can bind a keyboard shortcut for this command for extremely fast!
 
 
  Why not use Illustrator? I can copy & paste from both applications!
 
- Yes you can do that, I just write this for those fw users whom didn't buy ai.
 
Send to AffinityDesigner.zip
 

I am using a M1 series MacBook Pro now and do not have a PC for the test, try to remove "adPathConfigFile.cfg" under Fireworks installation folder, and run the command again, It will ask you to choose Designer.exe, then you can choose AD 2.0 executable file to see if this works.

Try to run Fireworks as administrator (Right click .exe and choose run as Administrator)

Hi @WaveF
We are aware of this issue and it has been passed over to the devs for further investigation.

Embedded/Linked document's Artboard and Layers switch option is not mapping the correct target.

Thank you so much for the reply!

Here is a GIF of Remove Inner Curves...

The 4 curves are a single object.
The fully enclosed curve is removed. The overlapping curves are added together. The separate curve is left untouched. There is a similar command Fill Holes that works with filled shapes.

Same situation but you can customize toolbar by click and drag the lower area as shown below, it works fine.

I use "File - Export..." for quick export without slices sometimes, but every time I have to select export area again and again because it will switch back to default, so I wish there is an option to allow user enable "Remember last export area setting", it really helps a lot.
 

Hi WaveF, 
Thanks for the suggestion!

Case:
My client can't read the order without layer index, so I have to put a number before artboard's name manually, but when there is a new artboard inserted, the current number order will be broken, and needed to be renaming again and again.

This problem can be resolved by adding a "Layer Index" path component, please see the attached image below to explain:

1. Bounding boxes correctly match the objects in new view, but still doesn't match in the original view.
2. Switch to OpenGL will solve the problem, the issue did not occur in OpenGL mode.
3. Appearance Studio capture attached, What I selected is Artboard, I think it shows correct info in the panel.
4. Sorry for the mistake, I didn't notice that I've set the opacity to zero...

Hi @WaveF,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, we were extremely busy over the Christmas period and working from home during the pandemic is unfortunately extending our response window to be longer than normal, many thanks for your continued patience and understanding here.
I can confirm there are known 'delay' issues with version 1.10.4 of Affinity and Monterey, as outlined here - 
This issue has been tentatively fixed within our latest beta version, which I've linked below. You can install this alongside your retail version, so that you have 2 versions of the Affinity app installed at once - 
I'd also recommend updating to Monterey 12.1, as other users on the Forums have noted this also improved performance of the Affinity suite.
I hope this helps

Hi @WaveF,
Thanks for the recording and file.
I can't replicate it on my M1 MacBook Air and don't currently have access to an Intel based MacBook but i will tomorrow when i'm back in the office, so will do some tests on that  
I suspect by switching to OpenGL you are free up some resources, which is allowing the MacBook to charge but i'll know more once i get this opened on an Intel Mac.

I use "File - Export..." for quick export without slices sometimes, but every time I have to select export area again and again because it will switch back to default, so I wish there is an option to allow user enable "Remember last export area setting", it really helps a lot.
 

Great job! If "Select Children" added will be perfect!

Thanks for the file - I can recreate this on Mac but not Windows. The behaviour you're seeing is actually intentional. If a linked document is modified externally to the parent file, then when that parent file is opened, the linked document is considered 'Modified' at which point its view is pixelated. 

If you go into the Resource Manager and click 'Update' (answering No to all the prompts to link the files) it will update the link so when re-saved will open correctly (unless you then again modify that afdesign file outside of the containing file)

What is interesting with your file, is that on Windows the linked afdesign file is considered OK and therefore its preview is drawn correctly. I've passed this on to development to look at, however I do feel some improvements could be made, such as warning the user on open (in a toast in the top-right) that users will need to update some resources.

You can select all elements, open 'Layer Effects' panel and add the Outline effect with any stroke width & 0% opacity, then create slices for all elements, slices will expand space around them. 

It would be great to reorganize (eg reorder) slices. As a UI designer, I have more than 50 sites in some files. I would appreciate to reorder them
A bonus would be to  group them in folders
 
If it is not possible to reorganize, then sorting them alphabetically could help.
