Well, I did actually notice, but not until after I had posted about the other one, so I decided not to rub salt in the wound by coming back and posting about it.

Keynote and the website make it clear that Studiolink doesn't actually run all the apps as one but allow access to the functionality of the sister apps from within the application you are working.
"With Affinity Publisher, you can directly link to your other Affinity apps through StudioLink. The first technology of its kind, this revolutionary feature takes the pain out of publishing by allowing you to instantly switch to the advanced photo editing features of Affinity Photo and precise vector tools of Affinity Designer without ever leaving the app."
As Rick G said, do the heavy lifting in the app and once you're in Publisher (for example) tweak if needed. I don't believe there was ever any suggestion that Studiolink was going to create one massive super app that can do everything. Personally I wouldn't want that anyway.

Come on. Ha ha. Spotlight is a one sided marketing channel - classic parfumed propaganda. The (indeed nice) gfx is isometric work - what Designer does support rather well. Of COURSE that will be highlighted by Serif. (But besides that, how many of you do isometric work? I see almost none here.). The lack of advanced (and often requested) features - just look at the starving featureless boring toolbar - is extreme and paying customers are allowed to have an opinion about that. Spotlight is paid for or filtered opinions and articles. Remember the articles with  artists showing some work done in Affinity... but who work in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in their REAL professional life outside the propaganda. Because they are indeed professionals. They use professional software from Adobe - not budget software made by Serif for small companies and mostly hobbyists. 
Let people voice their concerns about the product(s). Let them have their personal style. If it is not personal you don't have to comment. What really is interesting here is the input costumers have and the reaction (or lack of reaction) from SERIF.
What is interesting here is not what @JGD is WRITING. It is was Serif suddenly is HIDING.
Let SERIF handle their COSTUMERS. You are not part of the equation.

In the Windows version of APhoto the Refine button is missing from the context toolbar for the Flood Selection Tool. It's there for the other selection tools. 

You can collapse panels by double-clicking on the panel's header.

Or rather, “Comming soon!”
 

It only took a few seconds to replace the green blurred background with seeds !
Of course, for the result to be less rude, it would have been necessary to spend a little more time and to take a less wide brush (here flood 7 px, and selection brush 8 px). My graphic designer was right to have me known Affinity (yet it is a fan of Adobe softwares).

@JGD I am not going to tell you to stop giving criticism and making your concerns heard, since that's what these forums are for. However, I do think you have a bit of an attitude problem, which naturally will rub people the wrong way (just see the previous posters' reactions for that), and even when I agree with stuff you say it feels like you are antagonizing people when they give differing points of view that do not align with your opinions. Heck, I decided to simply ignore your reply to me in this thread because it gave me the impression that I would get on your bad side if I disagreed on any point, regardless of the subject.
You really take things way too personally. I would not be surprised if you take what I just said the wrong way by giving me a long-winded speech about how you've been wronged on so many levels and why everyone should feel the same way. I am not interested in fighting you, and I hope you keep giving out criticism, since I've seen you write some good feedback. Just try to be a bit diplomatic and understanding of others' points of view. The vast, vast majority actually wants the same thing as you by wanting the Affinity Suite to improve.

Hi,
I usually keep images of illustrators I like or admire, and sometimes, if I have time, I try to redo their work to learn new things.
Those 2 examples were perfect to test the new isometric tools of Designer. And a pleasure to do.
This one, from David Wildish, was fun and full of memories of Nitendo 64 and playing with bro and cousins


 
This one is from Sir Carma, from his serie Carved Cities. Some others memories, when I was a student and we used a 1cm cardboard to make models, and it kind of remind me of perpective courses.


The difficult part was to correct the colours in AD (selective correction adjustement behave strangely with black — strokes that needed to be redder — on an RVB image…)

The staff have mentioned many times that while the Affinity developers would very much like to include editable text in PSD exports, there is no ETA for if or when that feature will be added. This is due to the complexity of the PSD text format, to Adobe's incomplete documentation of it, & to their belief that an incomplete implementation that can cause problems with PSD exports is worse than none at all.

It's also available for iOS

That's actually a good point. I'll chat with the documentation team and see if they can ensure any reference to macOS features is linked to and displays the content but mention that it is a macOS only feature. Everyone should be happy then! 

What the hell do cars have to do with ... Oh, Auto = Automatic

I think this is a sensible use-case. I switch between macOS and Windows regularly, and often search for things related to the OS I'm not currently on.

We have no issue with our customers mentioning and recommending software to others, I appreciate your hesitance here but provided you aren't trying to sell the software or providing a referral link etc then you're welcome to name any software you deem is relevant to the discussion  
 
(apart from Ad**e, the lesser mentioned the better )

Fiddlesticks.   The other half of the world, roughly  3.75 billion, is a rather large potential customer pool for the first few years.   "Patience is a virtue," to quote somebody or other.   In my book, the Affinity developers have done a remarkable job and I am sure will continue to do so.  Not every feature requested by every potential user has made it into Designer, Photo, and Publisher yet.   Yet.  As time goes by, all three apps will no doubt become even more sophisticated.
