Would be nice if we could edit the presets from that dropdown when adding a new artboard. Or at least give more variety, some print presets too.

I miss this feature too. Select same fill is not quite the same.
Thanks.

All these tips are good, but this should look good without any workarounds

It's not the shape of the elements. It's the lack of contrast and distinguishability of active and disabled state.

Can we please bring back the checkmark boxes for the layers. I dont know why they were changed to circles. Who asked for this? No one told serif to change this. Nobody requested this. Dont fix whats not broken. Now we're having these debates about this new on/off circle icon that we shouldnt even be having. And theres bearly any contrast with this new circle on/off icon. When you turn off the layer its this dark gray circle on dark gray. Its just hard to see. Like, a checkmark is a good indicator to tell if a layer is on or off. Why change it? 
Theres also an issue on AD v2 on ipad where the new on/off circles in the layers vanish. Theres no button to turn your layer on or off. I have to close the app and reopen it. 
 
Ugh! Like, this seriously was the least of our problems. I go back to AD v1 on ipad and Im back to how it used to be. My problem is solved. I have my checkmark box in my layers but then I look up and realize that theres a bunch of affinity users debating about an on/off icon in v2. Why? Why are we debating over something that was never a problem? Now a problem has been creating for nothing and our energy is going towards it. 

+1 I miss that feature... Doing it all the time manually is timeconsuming...

This still seems slow to me (in Affinity Publisher 1.8.2). Compared to how this forum scrolls for example (and anything else actually), the pages / spreads studio scrolls way too slow. Looks like it scrolls only one line at a time, disregarding the global scroll settings.

Bump
2021-11-03 tested again
Windows, Photo 1.10.4.1198 same issue
iPad, 1.10.3.267 same issue (Anti-aliasing broken in case of fill layer nested to curve layer)

@serif, you really think this is okay? Come on... Desktop version has background color adjustment for artboards... we really need is for the iPad version.

Yeah, future is the most used word here. And not a near one, i guess. 

Those are perfect examples for artworks/artsy designs. But that's because those artists have skill, it's less a matter of the tool they use.
I stand by my statement. AD is not a replacement for Illustrator at all. Even if you can work around the missing tracing and warp tools (though at the cost of spending multiple hours longer on a project, which is a no-go for a professional workflow). The lack of true customisable vector brushes alone is a joke for a "vector" app.

I wanted to buy Designer a day ago but after I realized there is no simple functions like described I quit. 

+1 I would need this badly.
Looks like VectorStyler will be our companion for a couple of years. It'll take forever for serif to add the basic features, and I don't even dream about a shape builder tool or recolor artwork... these are all in VS and that's a beta app. UI is clunky, but the vector engine is great. So, man up Serif! 

Hi WhiteX,

This is a known issue that is with development. I'll get your comments passed along and get the issue bumped.

Unfortunately, as you can see with one of the major new feature they've added to APh lately (astro protography stacking), their focus still is attracting new enthusiastic hobbyists with fancy looking features rather than focusing on making the apps reliable tools for professionals.
I also wish they'd focus a bit more on adding "dated, yet needed" features to their apps instead of adding stuff which cut a fine figurine on websites and PR texts.

It’s kind of got to the point that the only way I can fathom out why we don’t yet have any form of vector distortions is probably because it can’t yet do it - I gather they started development in 2010, and for any software company who decides to build brand new vector design application aimed squarely at pros, vector distortions / Free Transform / Perspective & Warp Tools or whatever you want to call it would be pretty high on the features list, my guess is they must have been working on this from the start and maybe judging by the problems with boolean operations in the past maybe it’s still too glitchy for release - it will be seven years since release on the first of October —— gradually losing faith

Relative is relative, I know. But Serif was founded in 1987 which is ancient times for software developing business.
