You mean this?

Isn't this a problem with downloading the installation package? If I have the installation downloaded, it took me about 6 minutes to "install" the MSI/EXE version 2.4.2.

To confirm the assumption that an object other than the edge of the page is being captured, try turning off the option Snap to object bounding boxes.

Because the global snapping options are for object manipulations and their tools, https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/pages/DesignAids/snapping.html whereas these options are specific to curves and the Node Tool. https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/pages/DesignAids/curveSnapping.html

No, the need to choose a transparent document/canvas background has always been there. https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/pages/GetStarted/NewDocument.html

However, as you can notice, the relevance of the offered results decreases significantly (Export assets, Brush drawings, Photo management, etc., where the word Speed or Startup is included, but not in the context of "Startup Speed").

These ideas have been here many times, for example:

To find relevant posts, just use your Topic title in the search. https://www.google.com/search?q=Startup+Speed+site:https://forum.affinity.serif.com

It is interesting, however, that you justify your request about the need for a bitmap by saying that "another application" cannot use another format. Therefore, if you have this problem - that another application does not support another format, then I would see it as logical to request modification after this other application. I understood your request correctly, rather you misunderstood my recommendation. Since one of the first requirements to support the BMP format has been here since July 8, 2015, it can be concluded that adding functionality to your application could be a more convenient and easier way. And that's also because the addition of other formats to an application that "requires" an outdated format would be quite logical and very beneficial for the given application. But it's up to you which path you choose. Best regards.

So isn't it better to use one of the many threads dealing with native Affinity files size, including comments from developers/moderators, rather than using the thread about PDF export?

I'll just add, that File Explorer can pin frequently used folders, so it's not a problem to easily reuse project folders.

Zkusil jsem se podívat do popisu v Helpu, ale vůbec netuším, kterou volbu myslíte. https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/pages/Panels/paragraphPanel.html

Alignment Handles. https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/pages/ObjectControl/align.html

Just select this option and check if the *.docx files start appearing in the selection.

I am glad that we agree that the right way is to expand the import of other non-obsolete formats. As you can see here, Trimble/SketchUp has no problem with them. https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/importing-and-exporting-image-files
