I've created a project in Affinity Designer and I'm in the process of attempting to export my graphic elements but I'm finding the slice tool refuses to snap to anything other than the middle of the artboard. Is there a way to enable slice snapping to objects or guides at least? Unfortunately creating slices with the objects selected doesn't work for me either because the slice tool for some reason thinks I want to include the parts I masked off :wacko: I'm really stuck here at the moment, so any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I've just started using Affinity Designer for Windows but I've run into a few issues that are quite puzzling (Note I'm coming from Photoshop / Illustrator). I've discovered that the eyedropper icon that appears in the fill area needs to be clicked and dragged to pick a color but is there not an easier way? I've made a gradient and I'd like to sample a color from another object but right now I need to select the handle for the color I want to change, use the eye dropper to select the color and then click the color to apply it. Is there not simpler way to do this? (i.e. not having to click+drag AND confirm my selection).
