1.8.2 -> 1.8.3 cycle has been the first release which has been done entirely while working from home. We appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks to everyone involved for bringing us this despite the current situation.
Glad to hear you're working from home, please continue to stay safe!

Thank you for your hard work and rapid response especially, as mentioned above, under the current emergency circumstances.

The Affinity design team continues to amaze me!  Keep safe and thanks again for continuing to make Affinity better and better.

Big thanks to the people at Serif for bringing us updates despite the current situation.
Please keep staying safe and all the best to you, your family and friends!

If you look at the Text Styles studio panel, one of the options available is "Save Styles as Default". That should take care of what you want

@GRAFKOM
We have replicated your problems now and reported them to the developers.
The export crash #6 is a regression and so severe that 1.8.3 will be released very soon with that and some other high priority issues addressed.
Not everything that is reported is fixed in the next release, as we have to prioritise fixes. 

Thanks from me, too! It's a joy to work with Publisher!

As I can see, you work faster from home then from office.

Hey Guys,
I'm a fashion design student and I switched from Adobe Illustrator to Affinity Desginer.
I don't want to use AD just for drawings but for technical drawings too.
My problem: in Illustrator I had  brushes for zippers and stitches. Everytime I drew a straight line I could change the brush into a zipper or a stitch but for AD there is nothing like this pre made brushes available (or haven't found it yet).
So, is it possible that someone can explain me how I make this brushes in AD or it would be nice if someone do it for me
I attached you the ad file with the pre made shapes
This is how they look

 
Thank you in advance
Fashion Brushes.afdesign

I made those brushes in my old projects, time to share them here.
Enjoy!

Wow, another update. You are fast. Thanks from a satisfied customer.
 

Great to see updates with these fixes being offered so swiftly, much appreciated!
Same goes for Designer and Publisher as well, big thanks and kudos to everyone involved!

Thanks a lot Affinity. You do a great job 😊

Very cool to see an update so quick, been looking forward to this one.

Well done Serif. The software you produce is stunningly good even at the normal price. I think when we all come through this you'll find that your army of fans has grown considerably.
Best wishes to you all.

It seems to me that you folks are extending your services far beyond what could be expected.  I hope that the staff will continue to have good health and return to normal quickly.

Ash and staff.
What an excellent company ethos. Other sites are full of your praise. Xara Talkgraphics forums especially.
Good to be part of Serif/Affinity community
Keep well, keep safe.
