oh! new Splash Screen! Ritson?

Sadly I can not see the issue you are describing - perhaps it would have helped drawing a circle around the correct and the wrong font-display. As far as I know, the Affinity-Application do not (yet) support variable fonts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_fonts Did you purchase the variable version by mistake?

Well, an option that does not work is useless and may therefore be considered a bug.... to be fixed.

so, what are these options good for? some more Usability-Nonsense?

Hi, triggered by this posting: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/129579-affinity-all-never-purge-useless-data-at-saving/ I tried to see this issue myself: created an empty document, drew an empty picture frame, clicked on "replace image" and chose a JPG-file of about 11 MB and made sure that "EMBED Picture" is selected saved that Publisher-File and closed Publisher. The size of the Publisher-File (about 520KB) was, well: suprising. I renamed the JPG-File and opened the Publisher-File. Result: ???? Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit, german. Publisher: 1.8.5.703

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here: This changed application-behavior is only available in the most recent beta -> Serif can and will change features during the beta-phase (-stage); that is what it´s used for: check and change things (if necessary) .

OK.. so tell me please: which problem does this change solve? What exactly improves by using ".JPEG" ?

Nobody needs a checkbox in the Prefs for a feature nobody needs and nobody asked for. Just trash that stupid idea.

I don´t see a single problem Serif solves by changing the default from .jpg to .jpeg but this change will for sure CAUSE problems and inconveniences. I ask Serif to quickly remove this nonsense and focus on fixing the real issues. ( like usability finally? ) Thanks.

I think such an "export selected images to PDF" - Feature would perfectly suit into a DAM-Application...

@mikeindevon You are right - I don´t know the UI-Design of Photoshop but Tabs like every modern WebBrowser offers, would be far more intuitive/useful.. (BTW: one of the many usability-issues of the Affinity-Products... <sigh> )

Sorry, I am tired of explaining USABILITY to Serif...

??

Well, not referring to the main topic? I will take this as an answer, Thanks.

? "devalue" ? did not see it that way - Your answer just made me unsure (uncertain?) whether I could explain my idea properly/intelligibly...
