There is room for improvement here, but this information is likely to be ignored by a lot of other software anyway, so even if implemented you would need to be careful about relying on it.
I would like to point out that I use Affinity programs for work, not play. I run an advertising company, we make signboards, banners, posters, business cards, etc. I also use CorelDraw since 1992. Please see the pictures, there is no problem with changing units when exporting to jpg, png, tif, bmp etc. I can choose different units of measure when exporting. Also, such a file, e.g. * .jpg, is imported into a program that supports a large eco-solvent plotter (PhotoPRINT DX) and is displayed in mm in it. I can't imagine how I would handle such large prints, e.g. 250cm x120cm if they were expressed in px. All products not related to screen display require units of measurement in mm, cm and meters (Europe, Poland).
I still have a foil cutting plotter and a laser plotter in my company, for some reason these devices do not work with Affinity because there is no raster vector signal to the devices. And these devices require a vector signal.So it would make my daily work much easier if I could set different units of measurement than px when exporting to bitmaps.

The same applies to exporting objects.
Not always if I export objects to * .jpg, these are files for websites - of course then in px size.
In most cases, in my daily work I need to export objects to e.g. * .jpg in mm size, e.g. designs for signs and banners for a printing plotter.
Then I need the size in mm. And although the whole document is set in mm, the size of the objects in the transform panel is displayed correctly in mm, in the export window to e.g. jpg it is not possible to set the units in mm, the information is displayed only in px.
A long time ago I wrote about adding the option to select units in the size boxes, but you can see Serif has more important priorities.I would like to be able to choose units when exporting. E.g. Right click on the dimensions window in px, a popup menu will open with the units to choose from.
This is a necessity for normal work. After all, Affinity is professional software.

1. Unfortunately: Disable View> View Mode> Crop to canvas not working
It's about choosing objects on the other side and more. It works fine on the first and last pages.
2. Indeed, enabling this preference will work, but in 99% of my work I don't need this option, so I would have to turn it on for a moment in the menu, which would be very bothersome in normal operation. -
It seems to be a mistake.
How do I select all objects on the second page (there can be 3 pages, for example) if the objects go beyond the page format area ...
Of course, I can select them in the layers panel, or click to select everything, but how to mark with a mouse click.
It's not possible.You can select all objects on the first page and the last page with the mouse, but it is not possible on other pages.

Unfortunately, I don't see any visual or technical difference between 1.7.3 and 1.8.0.531

Tweaked Vector Crop tool so that we offer a hit handle for narrow shapes
Someone can explain to me what's going on?

I would like to be able to add my own name in the Pages panel to existing names Page 1, Page 2 ...
If we create a dozen or several dozen pages, it is easier to find logically signed pages, not just Page 1 or other.This should be done exactly as you would now add your own names to objects in the Layers panel.

In general, the selection of objects with the Shift key is corrupted.

In Publisher beta 1.8.0.531 on Windows, this also shows incorrect behavior. This has not been fixed in this latest beta version of windows.

And I thought that for Christmas we will have the Windows version as on the Mac, with a new panel New document with templates. And so it seems that only in a year

Exactly.
Every day I work in Affinity programs and it seems to me that it is a constant struggle with various adversities.
Such is the setting of exports, bleeds in artbords, the inability to choose new standard sizes, eg A4 artbords, copying effects and styles, the inability to print the selected item on the A4 sheet in the place where the item is located, etc. -

Maybe in Affinity version 3 or 4
There are many other things that have not been repaired. -

If you create a text frame with text in Publisher and give it the background color and frame color and copy it to Designer, Designer will display everything correctly, but obviously you will not be able to change the background and frame. So Designer can correctly interpret these functions, so just put a piece of code from Publisher into Designer and that's all. However, Serif stubbornly does not want to do it?
I wrote about it in other posts. But as I said, Serif does not intend to introduce this function to Designer. The question is why?
To buy a publisher for strength? I will buy it anyway. Why change between programs to change the background color of a text frame? I still think that does not make sense. -
Serif deliberately removed the ability to change the background color and edge of the text frame to do so in the Publisher.
So you need to make any changes in this second program.
Of course, this is pointless and has been reported many times before, so that it is possible to do these changes in Designer.
Even for a moment in a few earlier Designer Beta there was an inactive icon of the text frame. It seemed that this function would remain in Designer.But Serif officially said it would not be available in Designer.

Very simple. Why invent something else. This way of showing a bitmap is ideal.
first picture - normal mode. Second picture - wireframe mode.

Set Units to MM (millimeters) application wide

I don't believe that only I need this unit selection feature during export, there are probably 2 million users of Affinity software already.
Not everyone uses this software for fun, according to the developers it is professional software, so how can you say that what I suggest is not useful?
Imagine that even if in Affinity Designer I set the document resolution to e.g. 150 dpi, I would draw a protocol size 600mm x 45mm and export to * .jpg (export settings show the size in pixels 3545px x 2658px) and open this file in a program for printing on large format printer, it displays information about the file that is expressed in cm, and shows me the correct size 60cm x 45cm, although the export units were pixels. Even if I import this * .jpg file into CorelDraw (document settings CorelDraw 300dpi), it shows me the object size 600mm x 450mm 150dpi.)
So Affinity exports well, other programs interpret it well.
So I would like to have Affinity selection of units of measurement when exporting, to see exactly what size, e.g. in mm I export (if the document is set in mm) so that the size of the selected object is correct or that I can change the size of the exported object in the export window instead of changing it physical size in the program. This is normal in other graphic programs that I use in my advertising company.
