Thanks for the help. I hope it will be possible to do this kind of selection with lasso in the future.

Thanks. It seems a bit cumbersome, but it might be easier. If there was a way to select select and add multiple areas of nodes in multiple steps this could be much easier. But I guess this isn't possible. I'll try to demonstrate what I mean: q3.mp4

Yep. That's exactly what I mean. Ok, so it isn't possible.. Thanks for letting me know, I was going crazy trying to figure it out

The thing is that those nodes you have deselected will still be included if you try to make a group of the selection.

This is something I've been trying to figure out for a while, maybe someone here can help me. Typical scenario: I have a detailed svg file and want to select an item/person that i want to group together. Using the node tool I can draw a square around the object, but this usually means a lot of unwanted nodes are selected (If I could use the lasso tool this would not been an issue). After selecting all the nodes, I cannot figure out how to remove the unwanted nodes from the selection - only deleting them. I'll try to illustrate it in this video where I only want to select George's and remove the nodes around him. sf.mp4

Just gonna bump and expand on this since it's not yet fixed in 2.5.5. The issue seems to affect not only the warp group items, but also for shapes and in other places. As long as this UI click+drag method is used, the new value won't be set. See example. bugz2.mp4

I think this thread is needed. It's about a basic functionality that can have a big impact on the workflow for many users. It shouldn't be buried in the V1 archives. I have been wanting to be able to quickly find my named layers since I started using photo & designer.

2.5.2 is out and still no sign of the menu search function. Time to revert to 2.4. Thanks a lot, Serif!

Aaand I just realized we're discussing in "Feedback for V1" which Affinity probably never see anyways.

Using states is a very cumbersome way to do a search. Although I does work, I just want to quickly find my layer called "legs" for example. See the Assets panel, it has a very good way to search the assets. We need something like this for the layer stack! This thread has been going on for 6 years. Don't let it take another 6 years before this gets implemented.

Please bring back the help search. I used it a lot and I feel a bit distressed now that it's gone!

When applying a warp group to text, it always resets to the default value. I cannot set it to something else. screen.mp4

I am using the trackpad when working with affinity photo. I would like to assign the left mouse button press to e.g. the key 'z' so i can hold down that key while using the trackpad to move. That means I won't have to apply pressure to the trackpad to draw, but instead hold 'z'. Is this possible?

bbrother The post you refer to was created after my initial post, so how could I have found it? 😜

Awesome, thanks @loukash !! Works like a charm.
