Money is definitely a factor here. Repairing bugs doesn't earn you money. Hyped up iPad users with their "bionic processors" do...

Hi Stokerg, I already know this method but it only works with non embedded vector graphics. When I try this a message occurs which says (in german) that it is not possible to import embedded files into the assets panel (see attachment). And that is a big problem especially if you have a lot of vector graphics that you wish to import at once. Otherwise I have to doubleclick or open each file individually, select the layers, group them, give them a name and then import them into the assets panel. You can imagine that this is not a practical method.

Assets are a nice way to organize your massive library of components which are usually saved in folders and hard to find when you need them. The problem what I have with assets is the import possibility. For example if I would like to import an icon library of let say 100 icons which I downloaded as SVG or EPS files then it is not possible to drag them all onto the artboard and import them into the assets panel. The only option I found was to double click each and every icon (in some cases group the layers and give them the icon name) and then import one by one. As all of you can imagine, that method takes me ages to import a bigger library of graphic assets. Is there some workaround or did I understand something wrong? Thanks for any feedback! PS: Photoshop files work fine. Just open the document, select all elements you wish to import and done.

I just wanted to say: "thank you!" You guys have been doing a fantastic job with bringing new betas each week. Thanks to Affinity I finally don't have to jump between a pixel editor like Photoshop and a vector program like Illustrator a hundret times just to make a simple business card, not to mention more complex web projects with multiple sites. And the best of all, your UI! It's laid out so logical that I got familiar with it in less than 30min. To stick at least a little bit with the topic I want to mention that I had a crash on my Win1IRedstone system while manipulating global colors. I could not reproduce this error a second time.

Oh my god! I'm so dumb! Shame on me! After I switched the snapping candidates off it's gone. Thanks for the help!

Purple borders are back again :( I attached a screenshot to show you what I mean. Even when no stroke applied (or with stroke), Affinity Designers shows the objects outline as a purple border. I had this issue a while ago in one of the very early versions but then with new updates it disappeared. But now it is back again. How to get rid of that? Is this some sort of bug or a preference that can be switched off?

I am currently using the Affinity Beta for PC and altough I am thinking to switch from Illustrator to Affinity Designer, there are some points that could need some polish. Most of them are minor UI changes. One of them, and maybe the biggest, is how Affinity handles layers. I cannot count how often I just wanted to drag one layer on top or below a certain one and ended up masking them or grouping together. I know there is a dedicated button to do that but I want to know exactly where my layer is right now and not guess and count how often I pressed to "move layer up" button. Second issue I had is the way Artboards are managed. Right now they simply behave like a regular layer which often leads to unwanted selections or movement of the artboard, when I just wanted to select an object. This could be easily improved by giving the Artboard tool more "power" and just allowing to resize or change artboards when the Artboard button is clicked. Otherwise I like the clean UI of Affinity Designer very much and hope that the developers will improve the software wisely and avoid it to become a second Photoshop or Illustrator with 1000 hidden menus and functions nobody can find anymore. Keep up the great work! Regards

This version is the worst of all! After opening one document, I can not open a second one before crashing Affinity Designer. Crashes from time to time even when working on only one document.
