Thanks for that. It seems that not only punctuation is gone by the board, but who came up with the idea of making a simple task so complex? I only had five layers to contend with. What happens when there are 10 or more. The mind boggles!

When recording a macro and I want to change layers, the attached "Select Layer" window pops up. There are various options available but I cannot use "Shift + select" to create a group. How do I get around this problem, or better still, remove the pop up altogether. For some reason the file won't upload

I have mentioned this before but with the latest release there is no change. I find it quite disconcerting that the list of file names across the top of the screen, see screen shot, is in no particular order. while the overflow list is properly indexed. This is of particular concern when dealing with large numbers of images. Of lesser concern is the list of shapes. They are not grouped in any order. It is a great time waster searching through this list to find "Arrow" squeezed between "square star" and "donut". Surely in such a sophisticated piece of software it is not too much to ask that lists, any list, be indexed for ease of navigation.

The video tutorials are only of any use to someone who already is familiar with Affinity. The person delivering the information spends no time explaining the actions taken and is doing things at such a rate that one must continually rewind to even see what button was pressed and where it is located. After watching some of these video's numerous times I am still none the wiser and probably more confused than ever. That which appears to be so simple and straight forward, when done by an expert, becomes convoluted and disheartening when attempted by someone new to this piece of software. As requested above, a printed manual would be of enormous benefit and a series of videos, made by an "educator" rather than an "expert", would be even better.
