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.
Feature Ask:
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.

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. 
 
 
 
 

Hi WaveF,

Thanks for the file - we've had a few issues with scaling after updating a Linked Image so I will get these passed over to be looked at. Thanks for letting us know.

If preview window will auto show up and & will remember last setting of Export Area will be great.

Yes, directly exporting as PSD will lost all text information.

this bug can be easily found in windows version 1.8.0.585, and also found in mac version 1.8.1, hope this bug will be fix soon, now I can not draw icon in designer unless uninstall 1.8.x on both os.

If possible to save settings, layout, keyboard-shortcut and sync with account would be better ;)

Can't reproduce this problem now, same Mouse and Driver using in AD 1.6.x for about 2 years is okay, only happend in 1.7.0.293.

After watching Adobe MAX 2018 Keynote, when I see Real time blend mode preview on Photoshop, Multi-Point gradient on Illustrator, Smart responsive layout / plugin support / Voice interactions / lots of new features per month on Xd, and I turn around look at those features stay on roadmap for years, (sigh~), Good luck is the only word in my mind. If develop team doesn't focus on Designer right now, can't you just release some api for plugin developers? Anyway, I'll stay on Designer, for a while, hope to see some new things on it.
