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

Dat kun je instellen onder "Paragraph"-> "Justification". Maar wat is nu een "mooie standaard" instelling?
Zkusil jsem se podívat do popisu v Helpu, ale vůbec netuším, kterou volbu myslíte.

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

Whilst I agree Trimble could include other file types, it is a very basic program and perhaps bitmap format is the only one that is simple enough...
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.

and also store them uncompressed in the documents when they are added embedded.
The degree of compression of images when exporting to PDF is set here:
This also significantly affects the size of the resulting files, so without knowing the parameters of the exports, comparing the outputs is completely pointless.

Is the problem related to this?
If so, why another thread with the issue context being lost?
HW Accelleration is off?

DPI is irrelevant unless the file is printed, at which time it can be set to anything, since it is just metadata that the printer may or may not use.
You are making the baseless assumption that the OP is working with "pixels". If you work in units of length, then changing the DPI is completely essential and annoying. See dozens of cases and requests for redress, such as:
And many, many more.

When I use New from clipboard, I always get the same size in pixels of the copied object
In pixels yes, but not in same source DPI, so then object change its dimensions.
It's a shame, and it's been requested many times, that Afinity doesn't respect the DPI of the inserted/created object - even when the object is copied from its own application.

Now Edit > Select All
In the Windows version, it is not available in any application.
Edit; Select All is available in the Select menu, but in the case of Artboards and more complex hierarchies, the deletion is not complete.

if you want do delete all except the selected layers, copy / create new from clipboard could do the trick in simple cases. Unless Affinity says “clipboard not suitable for new document” for unknown reasons.
Of course, there may be some specific situations, but it might be useful to use the Group button on the Context Toolbar (Move Tool). This will group selected objects even from different Artboards so they can then be manipulated. Alternatively, the other layers can then be deleted more easily.

Good point. But Ctrl+H is still hide, not Invert Layer Selection.
You are right - I understood the meaning of the request more as hiding selected layers. Unfortunately, I did not know the details of the request, because the OP did not provide a link to the previous discussion and thus did not provide forum users with additional context.

You mean this?

That is Hide, not Delete.
Topic title - "Invert layer selection".
First sentence in post - "It would be nice if we could invert the layer selection."Do you have any advice for mass deletion?

Ctrl+H?

and thus it is very easy to forget about it, continue the development of the image and then export it with that layer still deactivated.
In my opinion, the permanent indication of this status is unnecessary and in many cases completely distracting - the Layers panel will be full of yellow exclamation marks. But since it's an incorrect export issue, it could be indicated in Preflight, where some checks can optionally be enabled - a check for disabled layers could be included, and could be very useful. Preflight is currently only in APublisher, but it could easily be in all applications - checking before exporting is useful everywhere.

HW Acceleration is off? (in application preferences).

This is obvious for a small number of users.
There are certainly a lot of users who don't even know there is a version 2, or that there was a version 1 before, and that if they have "Affinity", then there are actually three different Affinity applications whose help is specific and in many ways non-transferable. Likewise, many (perhaps most) users don't even know that there is any online Help :-), so it's actually pointless to worry.

To get something like the ‘club’ in the original image you might have to use a combination of the two methods.
I think that to create the original "club" symbol, the method through the star is useless - it creates exactly symmetrical tips, so there is no place for the stem of the leaf. Otherwise Star Tool makes nice "bubbles" 🙂

with some text saying "V1 Help" or "V2 Help"
This is already obvious today, you just have to look for and perceive this information, so as Alfred writes - always (even if the text is over half a page), someone will not notice it.
18 hours ago, MikeTO said:from search engines to avoid Google from returning v1 help pages above v2 help
Not only for searching on the forum, but also for searching in the online Help, I use the Google search engine, with the "site:" parameter. Here it is clearly specified which version (and which application) I am interested in when searching:
https://www.google.com/search?q=some+text+site:https://affinity.help/designer2For searching in "any V2 version application" the Help structure would be more appropriate "https://affinity.help/version2/designer2".
Affinity Publisher resulting file sizes - HUGE

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?
