+1 for this feature
 
I work with 2 external monitors on my laptop at home, but then none when I'm on the go. Sometimes managing palettes is tricky. They end up in weird places when i change monitor configs. Would be great to be able to restore to a saved state.

I agree! I would also really appreciate it if the HDR and Focus Merge dialogs remembered their settings, and if the new image was titled using the names of the input images.
The way Hugin panorama stitcher does it is simple and effective: files are titled "FirstFileName – LastFileName.xxx" Otherwise I have to go back to the finder to copy the filename and paste it in before saving each new merged image.
Thanks!

I would like to have the ability to drag multiple images onto the Focus Merge window, rather than use the Add button to select the images from a folder.
Background:  I use an Olympus OM-D camera with built-in focus bracketing to focus stack my jewelry photos.  This works very well with the Affinity Photo Focus Merge feature.  However, you have to "Add" the bracketed images to the Focus Merge window, which means browsing to the sub-folder that contains the images and selecting the one's you want to add for merging.
When I import my camera images to the PC, the Olympus "Viewer" automatically opens and displays my focus bracketed images.  It would be much faster to simply select the images in the viewer and drag them onto the AP Focus Merge window rather than browse through sub-folders.  I'm able to select multiple Olympus Viewer images and drag them to AP Photo Persona, but this creates multiple individual image tabs.  Would it be possible in the future to drag multiple images into the Focus Merge window?

Awesome! Great to have updates!
 
And thanks for the free content. However, I wanted to note that the "tom-chalky-handcrafted-fonts-textures" download is needlessly huge in file size - most of the PNGs in it are not compressed at all. I recommend anyone who downloads it to run the PNGs through ImageOptim (on Mac) or PNGGauntlet (on windows). Many come in at around 66MB, but when I ran them all through ImageOptim, most compressed down to around 100KB. ImageOptim reports: "Saved 3.89 GB out of 4.07 GB. 95.5% overall (up to 99.9% per file)", which is pretty crazy :)
 
To Serif: Running ImageOptim on those files and re-zipping the download would probably help to save a little download bandwidth and a lot of disk space for users!

OK, for anyone on a Mac getting their Affinity software through the Mac App Store -> I had to create yet another account, this time in the Affinity Store to get the freebies. Thanks all.
