🤔 Snapping via a circle to lines won't really work here (see for example this related thread).
Other tries/workarounds would be ...
- to draw your lines with a double (even distributed distance) compound line brush
- to draw symmetrical with the help of symbols
- to enhance your line stroke and then expand stroke, afterwards to remove the applied fill and set instead a stroke color. Then remove on both sides the end line nodes which close the whole outline shape
- to draw one slightly thicker stroked line and use an third-party auto vector tracer to perform an vectorization outline trace of your line drawing
- ...
- ... and so on, possible other ways ...

seit 5 Tagen habe ich ein Problem mit allen 3 Affinity Apps. Nach drei oder vier Befehlen stoppt die App und meldet "Keine Rückmeldung"
Ich nutze Windows 11
Ich habe keine Veränderung an meinem System vorgenommen.
Du selbst explizit vielleicht nicht, aber Windows update u.U. - Was tun?

Die apps einmal via der NO OpenCL Methode starten ...
... und schauen ob das eine Veränderung bringt.
FERNER nach möglichen generierten crash reports ausschau halten und diese hier dann zeigen ...

Wenn das nichts bringt, dann das MS .Net Framework checken und gegebenenfalls reparieren lassen ...

Falls das auch nichts bringt, dann die Affinity apps auf deren Initalwerte zurücksetzen ...

Change the available color representations via the color menu (top right) from tint etc. to wheel (or sliders etc.).

What iPad program would you suggest
QuoteiPad tracing tools:
- Adobe Capture
- Vector Q
- Vectornator
- Vectorize!
- ...etc...
-
There are many different ways to do so. - See therefor ...

Hmm 🤔, I have the impression that the correction path portion (the connected dashed lines) which is added/connected to the already default straight line path, is overall performed/done in some bitmap result manner. And thus if the dashed correction path portion is left in there (aka not explicitely removed before exporting), the whole then gets rasterized on export here.
-
Good point, I can see just one difference of a square fill here, which is applied if the correction path is removed.

Same issue on Windows. Viewed at anything over 100% and I get the issue. Enabling Pixel View also stops it from happening. So it's not just a Mac issue.
No surprise here, as the same portable agg based rendering code is used therefor.

There is no workaround to smoothen out this process either?
Beside what I already told above for ADe, AFAIK no. - Other than that you would have use some third-party tool as a workaround, which then offers to do what you are after for images here (so things like ImageMagick etc.).

What I am looking for is to have 3 slices per image and easily duplicate them onto other images/canvas in Designer (same document).
Right now it would require me to redraw them for each image manually.Yes, as there is sadly no copy/duplicate functionality for slices.

I was looking in the export persona if instead I can just use an image once and draw 3 slices on it instead.
Yes, that's possible.
There are also other workarounds possible, like using three different sized layers (4:1, 3:1 and 2:1) of one image in a doc. Or using some batch export with accordingly setup macros ... etc.

no that's normal if it cant find one
Does that mean it doesn't check first if there is/exists a Wintab32.dll at all, before trying to load that into the app context...
... or is it just the written out app log output which is formulated like that, somehow unfavorable as a failure then?

If they take an OOP approach while code, and I bet they do
Yes of course they do. - Same as some of the libs they use, like the underlayed used 2D rendering graphics library (Anti-Grain Geometry - AGG - a free platform-independent graphics library which features anti-aliasing and sub-pixel resolution etc. written in C++).

Photo's default tool is the View tool. I rarely use this tool in any app so I was wondering if there's a way to change Photo's default tool to the Move tool.
Not via settable app defaults so far, as there's no changable properties setting for that in the app defaults. Meaning, it's actually directly app internal coded that way and so unchangable/settable from outside. And app UI wise it's also not settable to be the default.

Probably because within the Affinity UI concept, Studio panels generally operate live, each attribute change being a history/undo step.
Whereas the floating Alignment popover window has the Cancel/Apply buttons so that you can make all alignment attributes in one step, then either cancel or confirm. It's a different UI approach, and in my opinion the right one. There are individual alignment commands available by other means – menu, keyboard shortcuts, context toolbar – if needed.
The whole is more a matter of coding and UI setup.
For example, the FX panel stuff does also perform direct/live changes, can be undone via the apps undo/redo operation stack, I can also detach that, so make/use it in flowable state and it just has a close button. The same can be done with the top alignment panel if wanted.
Further, it's no big deal in coding to place the already available UI elements and their associated (bound) function calls, from one panel type onto another one with an additional close button. - In case of the actual alignment panel, if wanted, it would be just needed to make it also detachable from there where it actually is, in a manner how can be done with the FX panel stuff.

Not even the weird wintab thing at the end? I haven't had that tablet installed in literal years and don't need it anymore. I couldn't even find it installed anymore on the computer anymore.
See ...
... check after that wintab32 failure, try if installing the tablet driver solves the problem. If not report back here.

Here is one screenshot from export and one from the result.
What do you think ? What I'm I doing wrong ?
Nothing, as I said before ...

Further, if you reopen the by ADe generated SVG file then again in ADe, you will usually see which layers & which group layer contents has been rasterized to image portions!

Circling back around to this. I did that step but I'm not sure where/how to access such a log.
After starting Photo --font-cache-logging, look under/inside %appdata%\Affinity\Photo\2.0\ if there is then a log.txt file inside.
And just for completness here, another fonts related cmd line option is starting the apps via --disable-font-preview-cache.
