[Work flow and file storage]

This relates to MEB's message from July 28, 2018. He wrote:
"There's already plans to implement a non destructive Develop Layer in Affinity Photo. Check the roadmap for more info on other things coming in v1.x. Other improvements may come in future versions. We are only in v1.6...".

Is this still on the plans? Any possible dates if yes? The lack of this feature is one of the reasons why I have not ditched Photoshop completely yet, Affinity Photo does everything else I need of it.

Many thanks

[Linking pages in Publisher to flow text from page to page]

I want to add to what walt.farrel said in one of his above posts: "In my experience, I did have to link the left- and right-hand text frames on the facing Master Pages. Otherwise the text flowed through only the right-hand document pages". I had to do that too, but the first page of my document was different from all the remaining ones (the first had only text, the following pages had text and image frames). So I had to manually flow the text from the first (text only page) to the following spread (that had text and image frames, master already flowed), and from there, shift click to flow all the text in the created pages (which were like the first spread, all with text and image frames). It looks to me as if you can't auto-flow text between pages that are not exactly the same. Is that so, or am I missing something? Buy the way, the video on this subject flows text onto the same type of pages, it does not show how to do it with mixed/different pages.

[Saving in different formats]

Silly me..!

[Saving in different formats]

I did not see this topic in the FAQs for affinity photo. Are there plans to allow users to save in .jpg and other formats? You say that .tiff will become available, but at least in the version I have (downloaded last week) one can only save in the proprietary affinity format.
