the symbol bugs is equally frustrating, which have been reported a long time ago

I reported this bug in 2016, and tony said the solution: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/31290-ctrlclick-duplicating-objects/ I agreed with the solution. Now that one year has passed, Affinity Designer has updated many versions, and many bugs have been fixed. But unfortunately, this duplication keeps occuring. Here are my experiences about this problem: Normally ctrl+click is fine and does not produce duplication. Buy when The compute runs slowly, the AD file is complicated, the ctrl+click duplication is easy to occur. I noticed that sometimes just clicking on an object in AD caused a slight offset. So the real bug is that in some cases, the mouse will offset slightly when clicking. It's more likely to happen when the computer is slow.

Hi, MEB. Thanks for your attension and reply. Continuous function can largely solve my problem, but it will bring new problems. Please download the attached file "test ad export.zip" and follow me test ad export.zip The first step, click the export slices button to export the file to the test ad export folder (root folder) The file is exported to the subfolder asset. This works perfectly. In the second step, duplicate item-1 as item-2 The third step, copy item-1 export parameters to item-2 the result is Two item-2.png are created. one in root folder, one in sub folder. After I set the export parameters for different layers, I will set the new object by copying and pasting. This is a time-saving approach. But as my test above shows, The result has serious flaws that extra files are exported.

About Button 1: On the other hand, I am confused about the inconsistent behavior of one exporting file and two exporting files that in the same object. Since I specify the subfolders, even if there is only one file, I want it to be exported to the subfolder.

Hi, Walt.farrell. Thank you for your attention and sharing your opinion. My situation is that there are many asset files in my .afdesign that I want to export, and I will specify subfolders for them in AD. E.g: Asset/iOS/ Asset/Android/ Asset/PC/ Asset/mockup/ When I set everything up, pressing the button 3 makes it easy to export all the images with a single click. So far, everything is perfect. The problem is that my .afdesign files are keeping revised. After the changes, some images need to be re-exported. The button 3 will export all the images which is not what I want. So I will find the object I want to export, and click on the button 1. Then I choose the "asset" folder, and the exported files are no longer assigned to subfolders, which causes trouble for me. Because I have to manually select the subfolder again. I am repeating selecting folders for each object. Button 3 is not used frequently in actual work and Button 2 is more commonly used for me. I suggest button 1: export to subfolders button 2: ignore subfolders button 3: export to subfolders Or providing a personality setting that allows the user to choose whether to always export to a subfolder. If my suggestion can be achieved, then in a project, I only need to remember one folder. Each time I want to export a file, I choose the folder without thinking. This can greatly reduce my work!

In the export panel, I set the export folder "fold" to the layer, and then click the Export button. The file is not exported to the "fold". In order for the layer to be exported to "fold", I have to add an extra exporting item to this layer. then, I click the Export button and the file is exported to "fold". I hope that when exporting a file, even if there is only one exporting item, it is exported to the folder I specify. --- Windows 10 Affinity Designer 1.6.4.104

I press Ctrl+s to save the file. In the file saving process, when I clicked the "Export Picture" button, Affinity Designer crashed. At this point, Affinity designer lost the response and the CPU occupancy rate reached 30%, I had to end its process. --- Windows 10 Affinity Designer 1.6.4.104

From the video, the similar effect seems to be possible with the symbol feature: First draw the graphic in a symbol, and then skew it. What are the advantages of this new feature of 1.7 compared to the symbol approach? Is there any feature not shown in the video?

Symbol is not safe to use, ' Embedded Document ' is indeed the current workaround. The issue was mentioned a long time ago in the forum, but the development team doesn't seem to have officially acknowledged it. I have given up using symbol. Symbol is a major feature of affinity designer, which initially attracted me to start using Affinity Designer. I later found that symbol was very disappointed to be able to use, but the other aspects of affinity Designer were good enough to make me stay in Affinity Designer.

Thanks for the help, I'll try it later.
