[Text layers in old Photoshop psd compatibility]

Text layers in Photoshop 7.0 psd can't be red as editable text.
Would you be able to improve this?

[non-UTF encoding layer name conversion on PSD import]

Also conversion of non-UTF text layers in psd created by old Photoshop need to be implemented.

[How do I convert a selection into a vector shape?]

+1 for this feature.

[Modifier key to delete line(s) between selected nodes]

Would be nice if you cloud add modifier key to delete line(s) between selected nodes instead of deleting selected nodes when press the Delete key without using "Break Curve" and select separated curve before delete.
Lot of users from Illustrator are confused with current workflow, so this could make easier for them to adapt to Affinity
 

[Copy > Paste Fx Causes Rescaling of Drop Shadows]

I know I know.
Waiting for the fix for a long time.

[Strength of unsharp mask filter]

Maximum strength of unsharp mask on Affinity seems to be far weaker than Photoshop.
Is there a reason for this?
I may not use such strong unsharp mask often, but I wondered why.

[Square color wheel]

+1 for square color wheel

Square one gives us more precise and flexible picking especially when it's ClipStudio style.
Also rotating triangle is little annoying.

[Shape Builder tool]

DrawPlus, predecessor of Affinity Designer had shape builder.
So it's not that Serif can't implement it nor don't know it.
just fyi.

[Affinity Photo on iPad - selection to layer with mask crash]

According  to someone on Twitter, it happens only when "Output" is "New layer" or "New layer with Mask."

Environment

iPad Air 3rd gen (MUUR2J/A)
iPadOS 13.4.1
Affinity Photo 1.8.3
Using with Apple Pencil

[Affinity Photo on iPad - selection to layer with mask crash]

Another topic.  also I saw the same compliant on Twitter

 

[Showing EXR metadata]

Would be nice if you could add an ability to show EXR metadata also.

[Suggestions for Japanese UI]

FYI
Members of the Affinity user group in Japan are willing to help translation task directly with you.
Regardless of whether paid job or not.
There are many members who are an English speaker and professional in the design industry, so they may be better than translators you are using.
That makes the translation more accurate and proper quickly.
Let me know

[Asian Punctuation Line Breaking Problem]

Personally I don't use vertical layout much but yes, it's very, very common for Chinese, and that includes peoples in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Yeah, me too. I mostly work with website related thing so vertical writing is not necessary.
But since almost 100% of publications including media such as book, magazine or newspaper in Japan is using vertical writing so people always put Affinity down just because of it.
Really pain to see it. I wish vertical writing didn't exist.

[Asian Punctuation Line Breaking Problem]

Someone created buzz about Affinity among Japanese Twitter users, lucky for you.
But also complains about vertical writing  come up like tidal wave at the same time.
Really hate to see this. just fyi.

[Suggestions for Japanese UI]

This is not translation for UI, but there is an awful typo on the checkout screen of the Serif Store.
When you add Windows version of Photo/Designer to the cart, they're shown with a description that says Mac.

[Cropping many lines at once (designer)]

Doesn't seem to work. Worked with a couple lines, but any more than a handful and it goes wonky. If combining a number of lines, they seem to join ends and make a funky pattern.

I suppose this is the wrong forum because it's a different company's app though. I'll keep looking into it. 

As far as I know cutting dozens of lines works at least.
But it may not work in a complex situation.

I think it would be better to just use clipping path on lines to make them look like it's cut.
Something like the picture you posted may be too complex.

[Feature Request - Alpha Channels (AGAIN!)]

Also please let us create a selection by cmd/ctrl clicking a channel.
Right clicking a channel to create a selection is awkward.

[Pen pressure does not work]

I have DISABLE  ` Use Windows Ink for table input `  and now it works fine! I have read on this forum that I need to have it enable because Affinity requires it.

There are two methods for pen input on Windows 10. WinTab(classic) and Windows Ink(modern)
if you disable Windows Ink in Affinity, WinTab will be used which is not accurate and fast compared to Windows Ink.
In order to use Windows Ink in Affinity, you have to enable Windows Ink in your Pen Tablet driver.
 

[Pen pressure does not work]

Did you enable "Digital Ink" in XP-Pen driver?
or you should be able to find "Windows Ink" checkbox somewhere.

[Unsupported 16-bit]

I checked its 64 very positive it told me it don't support it

You don't see "ARM-based" or "Snapdragon" on that screen, do you?
if you see, that's ARM platform that can't run 64 bit apps.

I can only see that it will do a single line at a time. This might not be the place, but if you can explain how to do multiple lines at a time, that might help. 

You need to "combine" lines before you cut lines with a object.

Preselecting a brush preset only works with brush-based tools, so it doesn't work with the Pencil or Pen Tools or with quick shapes like rectangles, cogs, or stars.

However, if you just want to preselect the stroke color attributes, you can do that using the Defaults > Synchronize defaults from selection button on the toolbar, or via the Edit > Defaults > Synchronize from selection menu option.

There are people who want to switch a variety of stroke styles quickly, so would be nice if there was preset feature like brushes.
I already posted feature request as another topic.

It seems to be working here -- I can add the stroke style of a selected vector object created with the AD Pencil Tool to the Styles panel in the usual way.

I mean before you draw. like brushes.

[Wacom pen right click doesn't work]

1 minute ago, Dean Reardon said:

I am having similar issue also....with mouse as well as with pen.
With the mouse: I click Alt+right mouse button and I get a little double circle for hardness and width but I actually have to also click the left mouse button at the same time to get width or hardness to change

With Pen: I click Alt+right mouse button and I get a little double circle for hardness and width. Moving left/right/up/down does nothing and if I touch the pen tip to the tablet my computer gives off a bell tone and my double circle disappears and changes to a single circle. I have a "New Huion 1060 Plus" from 2016 so that might be the issue but I have updated to the latest driver that works with my tablet. I have absolutely no problem for zooming if I set a button to "z", I can touch the tablet and move back and forth to zoom in or out.
I only wish there was a way to reset the brush width/hardness key shortcut. And using the [ or ] makes such small incremental changes to brush size. Why would the "Alt+right button" be hard coded into the product while there are many others that users can change?

Kinda Frustrating.

Try to disable Windows Ink option in Affinity's preferences.

Corel Draw can crop open curves by using boolean functions with closed objects. I can't remember for how many years already.

Actually Inkscape also does it which is free.
