I'm loving Affinity Photo so far, I am looking forward to replacing the pirated PS at home with a legitimate app from a developer I don't hate....
 
So far, the first hurdle I've come across with experimenting with Affinity: There doesn't, as far as I can tell, seem to be a way to non-destructively warp text. I've been using Mesh Warp as it's the only tool I see for the job, but an equivalent to a Free Transform would be suitable in order to have feature parity with Photoshop in this area. I do a lot of stuff with text, and being able to distort it non-destructively is a small feature, but a make-or-break one in my book.
 
- Create Text, type in whatever.
 
- Use the Mesh Warp tool to change it.
 
- Text is no longer editable.
 
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I can choose to make text still editable after deforming it?
 
Thanks
