Since 2016, I've been working with Affinity Designer, and it's been a constant in my professional toolkit for almost 8 years now.
While Affinity Designer isn't without its flaws, it has significantly liberated me from the cumbersome Adobe suite. There's no question that it has made me more efficient in my work.
I was taken aback by the unexpected announcement of Serif's acquisition by Canvas. It was quite a shock.
Nevertheless, I want to offer my heartfelt best wishes to the Serif team and thank them for the substantial support that Affinity has provided me over the years.

Layer states have been incredibly helpful. Seriously, with solid naming conventions, I feel like Superman. But here's the thing, we still can't batch edit layer names in Affinity. And since the 2.4 update has beefed up what we can do with layer names, being able to batch name or modify them has become crucial. It's all about streamlining our workflow, right? Efficiently renaming layers is key to really making the most out of layer states. Can't wait to see this implemented!

@Alfred  I appreciate you sharing that link. It appears I'm not alone in considering the batch renaming feature. However, just to set things straight, the demand for batch renaming was already there. Truth be told, renaming layers in Affinity Designer has always been a bit on the slow side. It's just that the introduction of the layer states feature recently brought my need for batch renaming to the forefront.

Yes, please.
I second! Some form of extrusion is an essential modification tool for the shapes and curves. In other postings, similar requests go under the "blend" tool. You would be able to blend between shapes and colours. Combining it along a path would be very close to a true vector brush, opening up numerous creative possibilities that are not currently possible (or very laborious) in the current Designer version.

This example would have been a breeze with the extrude/blend tool.

Nezumi wasn't the first to make the request, but it's been almost a year now. There was no response from the development team and no change to the AD.
When Select Same was first released, I thought this improvement would catch up quickly. Unexpectedly, the development team was really reluctant to make any changes to it. Very disappointing!

also, it would be great to have a similar option for "select same" functions. If you have several artboards, "select same fill colour" will select objects in all artboards, which is not what you always want.
Let's say you want to create colour variants of the same design, you'd want to select all objects with same colour within an artboard and change their colours without affecting objects in other artboards. 
It would be great to have a way to apply the select same to the selected "layer", be it an artboard or a group of objects or multiple layer selection. 

thank you, walt.farrell.
I have recorded the screen and uploaded it here.

In the screen recording, I opened Affinity Designer three times. The first time I opened it, the panel were not enabled and the CPU usage was normal. The second time Affinity Designer crashed abnormally. The third time I opened it with the panel enabled, and the CPU usage was high.
I noticed that there must be some historical files to reproduce this problem. The panel cannot be empty.

For the convenience of Beta testers we have add an option in preferences to migrate all settings and content you have in your retail versions over the beta versions at anytime. You can find this under the beta menu of preferences.

Now if I want to view a layer with/without layer effects, I enable/disable them one at a time. A global layer effect switch for each layer is time saving.
 
Here is how Photoshop does. For reference.

hi @stokerg,
I'm glad you care about the problem we face. As chessboard said, the stuttering does not happen with specific files. In fact, no matter what file I open, if the windows version of Affinity Designer 2.0 runs long enough (For me it is 30min~60min), I will definitely encounter the lag. If you can ask your team's designer to work with windows Affinity Designer v2 for a few days, he must be able to experience the problem we encountered.

Thank you for your concern about this issue, but I don't agree with your point of view. The location and scope of artboard should not be expressed by the outlines. Because for designers, it interferes our judgment on the design content. Besides, there is almost no other design tools such as AI, PS, Figma work like this. Their “artboards” have no such oulines.
This is definitely a bug.

Every time I use Affinity Designer for a period of time (30min~60min), it becomes abnormally stuck.
The only effective solution is to close it and then open it again.

@randomjames I was explaining the reason why the svg to Figma will become 1px from Affinity Designer. The reason is that the Affinity Designer did not give SVG Width and Height in px.
I also hope that serif can solve this problem.
 

AffInity Designer hasn't improved for Moho Pro. Have you found a workaround?

and this

limitation the scope of select same to a layer, a group or an artboard is a must-have function!!!
