[HEIF (HEIC) format support on export]

Doesn't the use of any file format depend on what you are going to do with it? Let's say you have your completed file stored as HEIF. What are you going to do with it? Print it? Show it on the web? Share it with other people? Does your printer accept HEIF files or will you be converting them? Do web browsers support HEIF natively? I ask 'natively' because I don't want to install a plugin just to see your file.

I would prefer saving files on my NAS in HEIF rather than RAW.  I have plenty of storage space, would prefer the added color depth and features of HEIF over jpg, and would only convert it to jpg when sharing on the web. Likewise, I don't want to open my RAW files unless I absolutely have to, since they're 10-20x the size of an HEIF file.

It should probably be pointed out that HEIC is patent-encumbered and cannot be legally used in software in some countries (USA, etc.) without royalty payments.

Because of this it will be poorly supported (if at all) on Linux and other open-source platforms.

I wouldn't recommend using it.

Balls. Really? I believe you but do you have any supporting documentation for this claim? I'd love to read up on it.

I 100% agree with this.  There's a tool online you can use to convert between them, but WHYYYYYY

[Enabling Dial support causes a crash]

Took me a minute to track this down, but checking the box in Tools preferences to enable Dial support causes the program to crash whenever a document is loaded or created.

In lamen's terms:

This:

<EnableRadialControllerSupport>True</EnableRadialControllerSupport>

Causes the app to crash.

[Pinch to zoom]

Ok, I found the problem.

The issue is that I enabled use mouse wheel to zoom.  Unfortunately, it doesn't differentiate between the mouse wheel and touchpad gestures.  I consider this to be a bug.

[Pinch to zoom]

Just Affinity.  Specifically, just Photo.  It works fine in Designer and Publisher.

[Pinch to zoom]

Somehow my trackpad pinch to zoom and two-finger gestures have reversed.  Pinch to zoom now scrolls the canvas vertically, and two-finger swipes zoom in/out.  What the heck did I do, and how do I fix it?

[Specify selection size]

And this workflow doesn't seem the least bit insane to you...?

[Specify selection size]

Ah, ok.  That works.  It's pretty counter-intuitive, but it solves my problem.  I don't suppose it's too much to ask for a way to specify a ratio, rather than a pixel size? Say I want to select a 4x3 box, but I don't know what pixel dimensions?

[Specify selection size]

Yep; I think you're misunderstanding.  Let's say I have a photo, and I want to select a 100px x 100px area of that photo.  I have no way to precisely do that.  I would like to be able to specify in the marquee tool that I would like that exact pixel size of a selection.

[Specify selection size]

When using the rectangular marquee tool, sometimes I know the exact pixel dimensions that I need to be selecting.  I would like to have the ability to specify a selection box size and/or ratio, rather than simply dragging an area.
