Still, is this the expected behavior? I'm constantly running into this issue, so I was wondering whether this is a bug or not. I understand that this can be achieved using a symbol, but "transform objects separately" seems to be exactly what I need, yet it works in a weird way.

This bothers me so much. I use HSL 90% of the time, the remaining 10% is me switching to RGB Hex so I can copy/paste the hex value. So annoying. Hex value should be available in all color selection views. What could be even better, is if it also had a smaaall "Copy" and "Paste" buttons next to it, so you could copy/paste hex values in one click.

I don't care about subpixel rounding errors and I don't need EVERYTHING to be pixel-perfect. My design works just fine with this kind of scaling, I've tried it with workarounds. The limitation under discussion is not subpixel though, it's +/- 2 pixel in my case. In other cases it can be even larger. There is absolutely no reason for it to be limited to 2 decimal places.

I have 100+ slices which might change their size while I iterate on the design. It's too much pain to recalculate everything manually each time. Ideally this should be fixed internally and work with higher precision by default. That's a viable solution, which I might try. Thanks! Currently I scale each slice up to a size large enough that I can later batch-rescale back to the desired size without loss of quality using a 3rd party tool. I hope this can be properly fixed by Serif so one wouldn't need to jump through this type of hoops.

7 years later, this is still an issue. I have 10 folders with subfolders to add manually. Also, every time I press the Add button to open the file browser to select new files, it resets the filetype filter to "Affinity files (.afphoto)", so I have to change that to .png or whatever. I also can't resize using a scale factor, just specific width and height. Useless tool..

It's not just a fixed 454x454 to 416x416 conversion. I need a lot of slices of different sizes converted using the same scale factor.

I've ran into the same issue... I have a slice which is 454x454. I need to scale it to 416x416, which requires a 0.9163x multiplier. The multiplier is getting rounded to 0.92x, which results in 418x418 instead.

My main concern is that with this monetization model, they'll stop releasing new features / making large changes in V2 lifecycle. They'll be holding them off for V3, V4, etc, which will start coming sooner and sooner, until it's a new version every year (aka subscription model).

Since there is no proper way to define precise selection size, the suggested way is to select an area with a selection marquee and scale and move that selection marquee using the transform panel. There is an issue with this approach however, as it seems the selection marquee scaling has some weird sampling and the resulted selection has blurry edges and is actually of a different size than what is specified in the transform panel. This behavior is amplified if the initial selection marquee is very small and is scaled to a very large size, as shown in the following example. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a 2048 image and select a small area in the middle of the image using Rectangular Marquee Selection tool 2. Change X, Y, W, H of the selection to 0,0,2048,2048 3. Copy selection to clipboard and go to File -> New From Clipboard You can clearly see that the resulted pasted image has weird blurry edges. In a lot of cases when you copy and paste a scaled selection, the resulted pasted layer also has a weird increase in size and it differs from the selection that you specified and copied to clipboard. When the difference between the initial selection size and the final scaled selection is small, the issue is not so apparent but it is still there and is very frustrating. It's a "gamebreaking" issue when you need to precisely re-arrange parts of a flat image. You copy one area to the clipboard, you paste and the resulted pasted layer has the wrong size and blurred edges and is impossible to align and position to a new spot. It is mind-boggling that such a basic feature is so broken.

Quickest way to reproduce 100%: 1. Open Affinity Photo 2. Create a new document 3. Select Brush tool 4. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S 5. Cancel

Thanks for the update, Chris! I hope this will be reconsidered!

So there is no plan to change it? Or it just hasn't happened yet?

@Chris B Any updates on this topic?

Wow, just wow, this thread... I have selected the area I want to keep and crop everything else. It just boggles my mind that there is no simple option to do that.
