    On Macs, it is named "Reset Most Recent Documents" & it is possible to deactivate all other reset options except that one, so it is minimally disruptive. @martenf, have you tried that; or at least tried starting APub with the CTRL key held down to display the resets options? Some users have trouble getting that window to display, but once you do, you can click "Cancel" to reset nothing, so maybe see if that works.

    have you tried the CMD+L & CMD+R keyboard shortcuts?

    Well, no, I can't "open" the tiff in Finder I think what @RNKLN was asking about is you can rotate images in Finder without opening them. One way is to use CMD + L or CMD + R to rotate in 90° steps. You can also use Finder's Quick Look to rotate the image via the small rotate CCW button in the header, next to the annotate button. Try it with this simple Pointer.tiff file to see how it works.

    What issues? Do you mean after using "New" to create a selection, switching to "Add" does not add to the selection? If so, that works fine for me on my Mac. Also, using hardware acceleration does not cause any issues with this or any other tool for me, so again I wonder what issues you are talking about. Switching to AD would not work for this because its Pen Tool does not have the Selection option to convert a vector path to a selection (or to a Mask) like AP's Pen Tool does.

    No, it because the TIFF RGB 16-bit preset with Bilinear resampling already exists -- it is built into the app, & can not be duplicated, deleted, or renamed. So try some other export option, like just for testing TIFF RGB 16-bit with Bicubic resampling, named "Test" or whatever. That will allow you to Create a new preset, & once created you can rename or delete it.

    As I said, the name of that tool is the Freehand Selection Tool, & the selection Type: is Polygonal. I also asked you to say what Mode: you have chosen, so could you either say what it is or provide a slightly wider screenshot showing that?

    Works for me & uses US English, so it should work for others using any supported language. 👍

    As @h_d mentioned, you probably have disabled the "Show tools" option on the View menu. FWIW, in Affinity-speak this is not called a toolbar, nor is it a dropdown, which is the term used for menus that open (drop down) when clicked on them. In Affinity-speak this is simply called the Tools panel, while the panels on the right (& optionally on the left) or floating are called Studio panels, & can be grouped, presets created for them, & so on.

    There is no tool named "polygonal selection tool,' so do you mean the Type: option named "Polygonal" of the Freehand Selection Tool or something else? If it is that tool, what Mode: does the context toolbar for it show? What other options for it does the context toolbar show?

    So what, if anything, is left that you need help sorting out about the UI? Tip: once everything is the way you would like it, use the Window > Studio > Add Preset menu item to create a preset for that layout so you can return to it at any time. Also, spending a little time reviewing the help topics & video tutorials for the app will show you all kinds of possibilities you might otherwise overlook that will help you work more quickly, confidently, & efficiently.

    Tools are in the Tools panel, which can be docked or floating but they are always displayed vertically, not horizontally. So the items across the top are not tools but various things displayed in the 2 toolbars (main & context), & as has been mentioned will change depending on the persona & for the context one on item selected. So it would be really helpful if you could take the time to tell us the names of some of those items. You can find out what their names are by hovering the pointer over them one at a time until tooltip pops up, which will display the name of that item. Basically, try to keep in mind that menus, toolbars, Studio panels, & tools are each different things, so try to be as specific as you can about which one(s) you are talking about.

    They are there in your screenshot. Just look at the edges & corners of the blue bounding box in that shot.
  13. R C-R
    Also note the X's around the selected item (whatever it is), indicating that either the selected layer is locked or the document includes a master page layer. The latter would be obvious if we could see the bottom of the UI window, but for whatever reason the screenshot includes some extraneous stuff about cookies. I have no idea why that is included.

    With it visible, select a text object. What does it show?
  15. R C-R
    There is not, nor has there ever been, a separate Text menu bar across the top of the app's UI. There is a context toolbar (not a menu, which is a different thing) but as has been mentioned, it will show text related options only when text is selected. All this could almost certainly be resolved if you could provide a screenshot.....
  16. R C-R
    I am not sure what you mean by "straight edge selection tool" so could you hover the mouse pointer over that tool, wait for the popup tooltip, & tell us what it says for that tool's name? Is it possibly the Polygon mode of the Freehand Selection Tool (the lasso icon), or something else? Anyway, depending on the tool it may be that you have selected its New, Subtraction, or Intersection mode....

    OK. I just wanted to make sure the paper profiles might be somewhere else on that long list -- on my Mac, they are not all listed in alphabetical order -- in fact the Adobe RGB & Apple RGB ones appear well below most (all?) of the paper profiles, most of which begin with the letter C or later in the alphabet. Maybe try contacting Canon about this, or maybe consider reinstalling your Canon printer software to see if somehow any paper profiles that cane with it somehow got deleted.

    Which vector brush did you use?
  19. R C-R
    I considered that but I just wondered what other profiles there might be on what appears to be a very long list.

    Check the setting of the Window > Studio > Show Right Studio menu item. Is it enabled?
  21. R C-R
    It appears that in the Soft Proof window you are around midway down a very long list -- note the tiny scrollbar & the up/down buttons on the right edge of the scroll track. So what happens if you grab the scrollbar & move it up or down?
  22. R C-R
    That's what I do, so with it on top & its opacity set to 30-60% depending on what it contains, it makes it easy to use it as a guide for my vector additions. @Ros17: Note that each vector object will be created on its own layer, not all lumped into the same one. This will give you lots of flexibility in how the final design looks, so for instance you could vary how the layers are stacked to change which ones overlap others, hide some objects temporarily, & change that at any time.

    I guess I was but sometimes no matter what I did I could not even select the entire paragraph -- it did not begin selecting the beginning characters of where I started dragging through the text, as if I had not started the drag until midway through the paragraph, nor would it even select all the way to the end of the paragraph, much less including the EOP symbol. I was mostly testing with art text, if that makes any difference. Oddly, where it did work reasonably consistently was if I just started the drag slightly above & to the left of the text & included just a small part of the first character & released the mouse, the entire paragraph inherited my named style.
  24. R C-R
    I did but when I used a custom paragraph Text Style I created named "Weird Text Style" based on no other style & applied it to a block of text, all the attributes of that block changed to its attributes, but that block still showed "No Style" for its name in the Text Styles panel, not my "Weird Text Style." What am I doing wrong?
  25. R C-R
    As I said, it doesn't always cause problems but it is a well-known problem that does affect some users from time to time.
