Since a recent update I have to first select an artboard in order to select an object in it unless I was already working on the desired artboard. It used to be possible to just directly select objects in any artboard without having to click the artboard first. Or perhaps I changed a setting, but I can't see what would that be. Help?

Thanks Lee. And it seems to remember the last preset I used, so this is a good solution.

Is there a way to set the default resample method for exporting to something other than Bilinear?

Yep, that exception relates precisely to the improvement I originally requested.

OK, hopefully the product/dev team will take notice. Aligning to a key object is essential when you can't afford to guess which object will be picked as a key object. Even a minimal version of this that makes the first or last selected object the key object would already be a big step forward.

Cool, good to know there's a workaround. I still think it would be great to make artboard resize snapping possible when using the artboard tool. I would never figure out having "Lock Children"solves this on my own.

Thanks! Though it's great that it's possible, I still suggest adding this as an option in the Export dialog to make it easier to find.

Is it possible to PNG/JPG export a document with artboards into multiple files, one per artboard?

I often resize artboards to match new variations in content, e.g. adjust artboard height after creating a design version which is bigger or more compact. Would be great if it was possible to quickly adjust the size of the artboard to perfectly match the content.

Is this feature still missing in AD?

Based on the discussion in https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/15194-how-to-hide-the-bottom-bar-with-shortcuts-and-other-tips/ Would be great to have the option to hide the bottom bar to maximize screen real estate on small displays.

Is there an option to reveal the (parts of) objects that fall outside the canvas or artboard?

Just to be clear, there's a workaround for this - export document to SVG with all layers visible and manually hide those that need to hidden in the SVG markup. But that quickly becomes a pain when you're iterating through multiple prototypes.

bump! This would be a great improvement to include in the UI design-centric 1.5.0 release ;-)

You may want to start with a selection drawn without constraints and the adjust its size proportionally.

When adjusting the size of the crop selection in AP, the modifier keys to restrict proportions do not seem to work in unconstrained mode. Would be awesome if the keyboard modifiers worked here.

Vertical align text options for framed text - useful for, e.g., quick print layout documents or diagramming.

Ability to set padding and background color for framed text objects in AD - this would be great for, e.g. basic diagramming.

Currently if you export an AD document with hidden layers to SVG, the hidden layers won't be included in the exported SVG. It would be extremely beneficial to have hidden layers included in the export with an attribute style="display: none"; for use in interactive applications.

Currently, if I copy-paste between artboards, the objected pasted on another artboard is centered on the artboard, instead of getting the same coordinates it has(s) in the artboard it came from. This is inconsistent with the copy-paste behavior within the same artboard, so it would be nice nice if paste in place worked across artboards as well.

Currently it's only possible to see which artboard is active in the layers panel. It would be great if the currently active artboard would also be highlighted in the canvas. This would minimize reliance in having to use UI panels when e.g. assessing which artboard is the target for pasting.

Wow, can't wait for being able to use AD on the iPad!!!

Currently there's no way to hide the bottom bar with shortcuts/tips, which takes up valuable vertical real estate for expert users that already are familiar with shortcuts/are not interested in shortcuts. Since it's possible to literally hide every other UI group individually, except this one which is relatively least useful, it doesn't make sense to not have an option to hide it.

It doesn't matter if you use CMD or ALT. If I don't press and hold one of those modifier keys beforehand, it won't allow for duplicating.

Hi MEB, The ⌘ (cmd) modifier key alternative is perfect, thanks!
