My copy of (recently updated) Affinity in Windows 10 does not allow macros to be added to the Library. Very strange! Clicking the "Add Macro to Library" icon does nothing at all. I had hoped this would have been resolved in the latest update, but not so.
Grrr!
I have over 3,000 images all requiring the same process prior to adding to a new publication. . . . .

Please make it much easier / possible to add a border with choice of colour and a choice of width (aka Key Lines) for projected images.
Typically, a default of white, 1 or 2 pixel(s).
These are demanded by most national and international associations when entering competitions or for general display.

Windows version when in Batch Job, does not show the Macro Library or allow macros to be accessed. This is an essential part of image processing for me and, I imagine, many others too. I suspect it is available to Mac users, however.

Affinity Photo v 1.5.1.54 Windows 10.1
Macros are saved as *.afmacro files. But Macro Library only recognises *afmacros files. So a saved macro is not visible to Library - import macros. In fact, an *afmacro file is entirely invisible to A.P..
Adding the missing final "s" to the file name does not cure the problem as Affinity Photo then declares the renamed *macros file as having an "Unexpected Macros Format".
A macro can be saved but not used again.
I have 770 images files in need of a macro-driven batch job. Please tell me I don't have to do it manually, 770 times.
Photo size vs. Quality / DPI

Affinity have got themselves in muddle here. DPI is an instruction to the printer defining the density of ink dots to be used in printing process.
The image on your screen is unaffected by DPI.
The screen image size and the ultimate printed image size are set by the number of pixels per inch, PPI.
PPI is the only dimension that matters - until you are printing. If you set the DPI below 4x the PPI the printer will reduce the amount of ink it uses and the image will print with less contrast and reduced clarity.
Print manufactures always quote DPI because it looks good on the box; Maximum 2,400 DPI looks much more tempting than the meaningful resolution maximum of 600 PPI. It's value is in the fact that the higher the dpi the higher the quality of the final printed image.
So ignore DPI unless you are in the process of printing. In any event most domestic printers generally default to 300ppi and 1,200dpi. Espom go their own way with 360ppi and 1,440 dpi
