[I can't save data]

I'm stumped. I hope someone else can help you resolve this.

The save window opens, but I can't save and get the same error message.

If you change the save as location does that make any difference?

An error message like this appears.

So when you click on the Save As... button in your screenshot it just shows that error again?

Yes, but at the bottom of the same help file page, it suggests only installation of version 1 is supported.

Where do you see that? Can you post a screenshot of that part of the topic?

So shouldn't this be posted to the Feedback forum?

[problem with grouped objects]

Can you post a simple example with just a few grouped (vector?) elements in it?

Or maybe just do that on your computer & post a screenshot of the Layers panel after reopening it?

[Pen tool keeps resetting/ not keeping settings! Help!]

Maybe I have misunderstood the issue, but if I select the Pen Tool & on the Context toolbar make sure I disable the 2 Style: options (Use line style & Use Fill) then the tool will neither use a stroke or fill (so the shape is drawn but invisible).

These settings persist until I change them, including after quitting & restarting the app. IOW, they are sticky.

Tested with version 2.6.2 of AP & AD.

[Strange tabs and windows problems.]

To do a factory reset first make sure the app is not running. Then hold down the CTRL key & start it. Release the CTRL key after the Reset window opens.

EDIT: that said, if all 3 apps show this behavior a reset may not cure it.

[Stamp brushes no longer working]

I had colour for stroke off. I know these are raster brushes, but I didn't think to check that there was a colour being used. As soon as I selected black, the brushes worked.

Raster brushes do not have strokes (so they don't have stroke colors), so I think what you meant is you set the foreground color to "None" (transparent).

You would have had to do this in the Pixel persona because the color settings in the Designer persona (for fill & stroke) are independent of the color settings for foreground & background in the Pixel persona.

And of course, you can use any foreground color for the stamps, not just black.

you can flip selections via move tool and symmetrical resize:

How did you do the symmetrical resize? I can't find any modifier key or any other way to snap the resize to the same exact size when I drag the handle.

When I was working in Designer persona, I turned the stroke off. Strange how it wasn't obvious in pixel persona.

What do you mean? The Frankentoon stamp brushes are raster (pixel) brushes (which is why In AD they are only available in the pixel persona). They do not have strokes, nor are they affected by stroke settings in the AD Designer persona.

I know you said this was solved but it might help others if you could explain more about how anything you did in the Designer persona affected these (or any other) raster brushes.

[Stamp brushes no longer working]

Hmmm. Frankentoon's Concept Master stamps are working fine for me in V2.6.2 so I have no idea why they are not for you.

Even Serif PhotoPlus had this... so they have the code already laying around.  Should just take a number of tweaks.

Affinity is built on an entirely different code base than the old Windows-only Serif Plus apps, so they can't simply "tweak" that old code.

This has become the background layer.

What is being asked for is the kind of layer -- the layer type that pops up if you hover the pointer over the icon in the Layers panel. See the previous post by @thomaso above for a list of what those icons represent.

[Layer states crashes program when objects containing more that one stroke are used.]

Like like "Do not export this item" ?

well, it should probably be aware of it's current state and change the tooltip wording from "Make item visible in export" to "Make item invisible in export", whatever the state requires. or whatever wording makes the most sense.

But it isn't just about visibility, but actually about if it will be exported or not.

I mean the Character Style called ‘Style', Georgia 12, fully justified - I haven't altered a paragraph style, its the default setting.

Can you show us where (in what panel) you see any text style named "Style"? Is it in the Paragraph or Character panel. If so, where do you see the "Georgia 12" font name?

If this appears in the Text Styles panel, what do you see if you double-click on that to open the Text Style Editor window?

It’s available since many years, but deeply burried and not well documented

I think the problem is that the tooltip says "Make item visible in export" should instead say something like "Do not export this item." 

[Stamp brushes no longer working]

With the Paint Brush Tool selected, what does the context toolbar show for things like opacity, flow, blend mode, protect alpha, etc.?

Also, which stamp brushes are you using?

This means that people with different versions cannot work together, which could be very bad not only for for business.

Yes, & as mentioned (& as the error message you got says) this is because the file contains features that the older version does not support. So even if the older version just ignored & omitted anything in the file that relied on that, the collaborations would not all be working on the same file with the same content. 

Obviously, this could result in multiple versions of the file, none of which would be 100% identical with the others.

There is no way around this other than making sure all collaborators use the same versions of the Affinity apps.

Apparently, again a somewhat hidden request - to interrupt Crop?

Maybe, but the OP said "to abort these tools" (plural) so it seemingly can't apply to just that tool or the Perspective Distortion Tool or whatever else the "..." ellipsis might apply to in this earlier post.

So I still think this would require some sort of default tool or possibly a "no tool" option.

and of course, to abbort these tools, the ESC key should be work too.

Abort to what? Since some tool must be active (IOW, there is no "no tool" option), what tool would you want the Escape key to abort to?

[Android posibilities]

I can understand that, but it kind of rests on pessimistic and deterministic view of promises of the Android market....

How so? What does it matter how big the potential Android market is, particularly for pro users, if they can't even manage to keep the apps even reasonably bug free on the 3 supported platforms? The problem does not seem to be lack of finances for development, not with some of Canva's money available for that. We were supposed to see more rapid development but that is not what happened.
