Hi yitwail, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Thanks for your report and file. The text was imported but it was positioned incorrectly (outside of the canvas on the top left). To find it zoom out a little to see the area outside the canvas, change to the Move tool and select the text from the Layers panel. I'm also able to reproduce the problem of layers in slide 2 being partially visible (depends on the zoom level). I'm logging both issues to be looked at.

Hi mrcavallo, This was already discussed in various threads, in particular this one. Maybe you can add the first point (clicking instead of dragging) as i don't think this was mentioned/requested yet. This subject is also listed on the Common Feature Requests pinned at the top of the Feature Requests section (check it for more topics). We are aware of those issues and considering making changes here later.

Hi t_klein, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can access Apple Photos library trough menu View ▸ Media Browser... in Afinity Photo. Apple haven't yet implemented the functionality to edit images using external editors, so it's not currently possible to save them back to Apple Photos.

Hello Dave, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can create horizontal/vertical/diagonal 45º lines, with the Pen Tool pressing ⇧ (shift). This is not available for the Brush tools only. We are aware that some tools/features are still missing. This is the first version. There's still a lot to add/refine/polish. Please check out Designer and Photo roadmaps for more info on what's coming.

Path to Selection workflow in Photo
MEB replied to cekuhnen's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
That feature is supposed to load a selection from layer's contents, not exactly converting a path to a selection, but works nicely in this case. Nice tip Peter. -
Hi agilefalcon, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Affinity Designer is a design application able to deal with vector and pixel data for graphic design. illustration, UI etc, however it's not intended for photo editing. Affinity Photo the most suited tool for that task. It's also not much different from Xara in the sense that most tools offer realtime editing (directly over the objects on canvas). However due to being a new app there's still some things to polish and a few features missing. Affinity Photo offers considerable more tools than Xara for Photo editing. It's also more powerful, although a little more complex too. You may want to give it a try since there's already a trial available. You can get it from here. Any questions you may have the just in forums.

Sharp nodes' handles
MEB replied to hukes's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hi hukes, stephen may, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can select the node with the Node Tool and convert it to to a smooth node pressing the Smooth button in the Convert section on the context toolbar. Another way is to drag the path near the node to position it how you want. This will create the corresponding control handles for the surrounding nodes. If you need to get rid of one of the control handles, press and hold ⌥ (option/alt) and click on it. -
Manual
MEB replied to Oxpeople's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hello Oxpeople, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) There isn't a manual, but we are planning a handbook for later. Affinity Photo Help cover all program functionality extensively. You can also check Affinity Review, our eZine with some in-depth written and video tutorials and a complete set of video tutorials for Affinity Photo available here. They are also accessible from here. -
Hi justwilliam, This is directly related with the antialiasing algorithms, not document size (although you can make the document bigger and then downsample it to mitigate the issue). Some of these lines are also in problematic angles, which doesn't help. Can you attach a copy of the file here so i can take a look (or send me a link trough PM as you prefer)? MattP is the most suited person to give you a reply regarding any possible improvements here for Designer.

Increase Precision?
MEB replied to Jens Krebs's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It's probably because millimetres is already a small unit, but i may be wrong here. For others (where makes sense) we display more decimal places. I've not filled a bug yet simply because i wasn't able to replicate it. I'm checking on other OS first. On mine (El Capitan) 25.25 mm and 100.25 mm both round UP to 25.3 mm. Where are you inserting those values? And which OS are you running? -
