In Windows version yes. Presets after starting the application: Unfortunately, Show Favourites is not sticky.

For example Acrobat Extension for Chrome:

But since the OP writes "Most of my brochures are", I assume that he always creates the same documents/brochures, and in this case it is already worth creating his own Templates.

You can create your own Templates with the formats (and document settings) that you use most often.

You don't mention the problem with two layers in your initial post ("3. Move layer only to a new position."). However, moving with two layers makes no difference. Of course it could be an OS difference issue, but it's always good to confirm or deny. Try the same procedure with "move layer to new position" (your description was a bit vague) and see if the bug is related to your OS.

Interestingly, this option doesn't work properly because an ellipse with No Fill and No Stroke settings (or 0% opacity) is definitely not "visible". So the wording should rather be - objects with enabled Visibility 🙂

If you want to keep the maximum from the original scan, including its inaccuracies, but which make its more authentic, I recommend using a blue brush with a soft edge, and just iron the "spotty" areas a little and unify them.

If your artboards have the same size and are defacto "pages" (see also their naming), then use APublisher to create a document that works with pages. You can then set the margins, grid and guides for multiple/all pages at the same time using the respective Master Pages.

But the Move Tool is also a tool. So should there be a release to the Hand tool? Nothing can be done/caused by it except for moving the canvas/document.

As far as I know, Lightroom uses the SQLite database format, the characteristics of which are known as "ACID" (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and Durable), that is, it is resistant to data storage errors. This format uses a similar way of storing new/changed data as Affinity, where records are compressed only after reaching a certain limit of unused space, or on demand - the VACUUM command, see my previous link.

In the case of standard file sizes, i.e. on the order of hundreds of megabytes to units of gigabytes, this is a negligible effect. But if you work with really large files (ideally to external drive or with NAS :-), then the effect will be enormous. Therefore, this method of incremental storage is a standard technique, for example for database files. I once requested a feature that would compress a file on demand - unfortunately it didn't even seem to be understood.

Some "rat" crept in there 🙂

If you use the Flood Select Tool with zero tolerance, click to the middle of the blue area - you can see that the blue area is not uniform. Select the blue color with the eyedropper, select the Flood Fill Tool - tolerance 5%, and click in the middle of the blue area. Then the blue area is uniform. Edit: alternatively - you can set a lower tolerance for the Flood Fill Tool, and by gradually clicking in the blue area you can unify its color.

I've always admired Isabel Aracama's work - she can do wonders with ADesigner. For example: https://www.behance.net/gallery/31578563/1957-Chevy-Corvette-Roadster-Affinity-D-Vectors

Of course, as a developer/programmer, I know that testing and detecting bugs and problems is very challenging. And in many cases, when it comes to specific scenarios of operations and configurations, this is not even realistically possible, so the detection coverage will never be 100%. However, easily "visible" bugs in the UI? - after all, nothing could be easier to detect, because the bug is immediately visible! So these bugs could really be avoided. P.S. Thank you for your response 🙂

Hi @stokerg, I know I probably won't get an answer, but I'll ask anyway - how is this even possible? Especially with a light UI, there are a lot of these bugs of minimal or even zero contrast (see link/aspect ratio symbol in Document Setup). Don't developers verify this during the application development and testing process? Or are they using specific monitors with specific brightness and contrast settings so these bugs are not visible?

Just for interest - there have already been several requests for layer sorting: https://www.google.com/search?q=sort+layers+by+name+site:forum.affinity.serif.com Many users, including me, find this automatic reorganization of layers without taking into account the needs of the user on the Layer stack and thus also with the impact on the document rather harmful and dangerous. Sorting should be done on all layers, including Adjustments and live filters? On groups/Layers and their descendants? How will layers with the same name be sorted? according to the time of insertion? etc.

Only in APublisher, and must have same version ADesigner and APhoto.

Please unify the function and control of Flood tools. Flood Fill Tool: (why doesn't Blend Mode label like Tolerance and Source?) Flood Select Tool: I understand that the Mode is important for the Select Tool and therefore comes first - but why isn't the order of the other controls the same as the Flood Fill Tool? Why is the Source before the Tolerance, and in the Fill tool is at the end? Flood Erase Tool: Why Erase doesn't have Contiguous and Antialias options? I understand that it is possible to use the Flood Select Tool and then press Delete, but if the Erase function is already there, why can't it have the same options and thus the same function? Thank you.
