I think you say it on the spot that way 
I hope someone from Affinity staff can look into this and confirm if this works as inteded or if there is a bug. Maybe you should post it as an option bug in the other forum.
In regard to documentation, please keep in mind that documentation (help, videos, tutorials) are still work in progress. Mentioning it in this thread may also be of help for the team.

@dominik 
Thanks for the heads up!
I must admit that I was blissfully unaware of the fact that this has already been discussed in so much detail on here. 
I don't work in vector 'that' often, so I haven't really noticed the absence of the "Select Same" feature until recently, and I figured I'd drop a post in the forum.
Moreover, I didn't realise how much I actually missed having the ability to select objects in this way, it's such a big time saver.
I'm sure that it will pop up in a future update - I'm clearly not the only one missing it.
 

Hi @mettwurzt,
it looks like the filler text has some randomization feature that causes this behaviour. Even when set to English.
The only way to have the filler text start with the same words seems to copy and paste it over from another text frame. Then you loose the automatic text length making it fit to the respective text frame.
Maybe it would be nice to have an option in preferences > filler text that let's us turn on and off randomization

The full feature list is pretty clear about the functions that are available at the moment of purchase and is really very helpful to make a decision. On top of that there is a trial (and an uncomplicated refund policy).
Perhaps I misunderstood what you mean by 'the issue comes...'. What is the issue?
Cheers,
d.

Interesting way to participate in a debate   But I do respect your wish.

Serif is not unclear about AD's export formats: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/full-feature-list/ (look for the section 'Professional Colour, Compatibility, and Output' further down the page). It's on the user's / customer's behalf to inform oneself before purchase.

This is how I could see tags working:
Add a "Layer Tags" panel.  Layer tags are named, in a flat namespace (no hierarchy needed), and global to the entire document (independent of spread or artboard).
Any given layer can have one or more tags associated with it.  A layer which has one or more tags associated with it would show a tag icon in the Layers panel, and the tag icon would be a different color when that tag is selected in the Layer Tags panel, to help identify which layers are associated with a given tag.  Clicking on the tag icon in the Layers panel would select the tag(s) that layer belongs to in the Layer Tags panel.
The Layer Tags panel would have buttons underneath the list of tags to "Create Tag from Selection", "Add Tag(s) to Selected Layers", "Remove Tag(s) from Selected Layers", "Delete Tag(s)", and "Delete Tag(s) and the Layers Tagged With Them", etc...  maybe that last one should be in a context menu or something instead as it is relatively dangerous.
Next to each tag within the list in the Layer Tags panel would be three icons: one would select all layers in the current spread or artboard which are tagged with that tag, one would be a visibility toggle for the tag (eye icon), and one would be a lock toggle for the tag.
A layer which is tagged would be visible if it meets the existing visibility requirements AND at least one of its tags is set to visible.
A layer which is tagged would be locked if the current locking rules would indicate it is locked OR at least one of its tags is set to locked.
 
Build on this by adding tags to the export persona (the way layers can be used there now), etc.
 
Note that this is not a complete replacement for the concept of global layers.  Global layers would impose front-to-back ordering of their contents and force a structure to the document as a layer could only be a member of one global layer at a time, while multiple tags could apply to a given layer and the layers having those tags could be all over the place in terms of z-order.
 
 
Strange bonus idea: adding adjustment layers to tags.  These adjustments would be applied to each layer having that tag, across the entire document.  Not sure if this would be practical or not, or even genuinely useful, but it is a potentially interesting thought so I'm adding it here anyway.

The Asset Pack contains 80 clean vector assets. Almost all of the assets are set up for easy tiling. They are all solid objects with no stroke so you can easily apply any fills, gradients or fx to the objects. The PDF has some more info and lists all of the individual assets.
https://gum.co/screentone
The assets are broken into six sub groups:
100mm screentone blends (7 assets)
60mm screentone dot tints (19 assets)
300mm screentone blends (6 assets)
300mm screentone dot tints (19 assets)
300mm screentone reverse dot tints (10 assets)
300mm screentone line tints (19 assets)

+1 doesn't help.
They already said it is coming.

Hello @PrestoBismol,
welcome to the forum. You are not alone with this finding. It was discussed several times and there are statements from the developers that this is a known issue and they are working on.
This is an older post on the topic:
 
 
In this more recent post the particular problem finds a workaround (but does not solve the problem itself  )
 
This is a statment of one of the programmers:
 
So, we can hope to see a fix at some time.

That is true, I did not think of placing placing the PDF multiple times by displaying their different pages. @haakoo, thanks for this. @Muhd, sorry for the partially wrong information.

I couldn't help to look this up (search term 'DAM sitting late' searching everywhere brings up only one result):
I remembered the 'late' part of @MattP's post 
d. 

There is a comment from a Serif employee somewhere on the forums that he was basically sitting right next to the people working on the DAM.  It is happening, whatever it turns out to be, but no word on how long it might take.  Guessing it might be a while.

Thank you for the response, Dominik. I'm new to Affinity and still learning. You're first sentence gave me exactly what I was looking for! 

To add to this, you can enter things like "+4" to add four units to what is there already...

Hello @Bobbie,
 
in AD you don't just 'click anywhere' but click and draw a rectangle (or any other shape) of any size. Then you turn to the Transform Panel (Menu > View > Studio > Transform   ...   if it is not already visible). There you type in width and height of the rectangle. You can even type in position, rotation and shear values if needed. Those are not part of AI's rectrangle window.
 
There is no command like this in AD. Again, the Transform Panel is your place to go. There are many ways to type in values there.
Instead of AI's 'Position' you type in new values into 'X' and 'Y' fields (where 'X' stands for horizontal and 'Y' is for vertical. I admit this is a slightly more academic nomenclatura  )
You also can type in mathematic expressions in those fields to create very precise moves of objects. There is a detailed description on how this works at 
https://affinity.help/designer/English.lproj/pages/Workspace/expressions.html
Cheers,
d.
 

Hello @Josef Fröhle,
welcome to the forum.
Links are a relatively new feature and not far developed. You can assign links to vector objects. You just need to use the menu item in the Text menu. It is not logical but it works 
I assume we will see improvements over time.
d.

Thank you @dominik for your reply and you are right I found it now and this works. Thank you.

This, indeed, is a good example for this way to write it down.
I noticed the section in the help about expressions. I'll take a look at it to improve my skills.

Hi @Frozen Death Knight,
just an idea: snapping to the mid point is equivalent to move an object by 50% of its width. Use the transform panel and type in 'X+w*0,5' where X is the value that is already in the box. In other words you would type '+w*0,5' after the X value. This moves an object to the right. Same applies to vertical movements or in combination with a minus in the other direction.
This even works for fractions where there is no snapping point at all, like fourths or thirds 
d.

Oh my, I am not good at shorthand  Thanks for the additional way on how to get this done.
d.

Or, just click in the X box, which highlights the current content, and replace it by typing +=w*.5
 

Yes, typo error - "And Shift increments by 10 unit."

Oh man, so simple! Thank you, Dominik!
