same basic problem: can't see text selection highlight. But with this unusual twist: If I zoom out, I can eventually see the selection. Thankfully the text is still legible. Font size has no effect, it is solely tied to the zoom scale.

I would like to suggest some revisions to the "Lock children" feature, that admittedly cater to how I would prefer to work, but I image it would be generally good for all. 1. Hold "Alt" while dragging grips to temporarily toggle the default behaviour set by the checkbox AND/OR, add the ability to assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle the setting. 2. Have optional sub-settings, similar to snaps drop-down, which would allow people to choose what is locked, when locking is on. (Position, Rotation, Stretch/Scale [+lock aspect], Skew... perhaps even similar options for affecting fill gradients and patterns) The reason for this is that I almost always want children to move and rotate with the parent, but almost never want them to alter their size, or rotation, or skew. Yet with the current setup, I find myself constantly needing to toggle the setting even though my needs almost never change. Thanks for considering this idea, and thanks for a great product!!

Definitely buy Affinity! Both products have their strengths, and inevitably each with have features not present in the other. The only thing that I truly miss when working with Affinity is Inkscape's AMAZING node editing. For example: Insert = add new nodes at midpoints of all selected nodes Ctrl + click node = cycle thru node types ! = Invert node selection. Grow or shrink node selection; spatially or along path. Sculpt selected nodes based on distance from drag point. (ie, elastic distortion) Node hovering along with any transform shortcut-keys (eg: scale or rotate) will perform the transform using the hovered node as the base point! (Although, this is a larger problem in general about Affinity's lack of nudge controls for scale and rotate) Nowadays, I always work in Affinity by default. But if i've got precision node editing to do, i've got to decide if it's worth the effort to pop-out into Inkscape. Also, maybe it's just my install, but the Affinity node editing doesn't seem to work as advertised (specifically thinking of ctrl+drag curve out from node). Anyway, like I said, buy Affinity; you'll end up loving both and dreaming of a collab.

The ability to real-time edit embedded files is fantastic! Is it possible to do the same across Designer and Photo? (If so, I can't figure it out) To clarify, what i mean: having a parent Affinity Photo mockup open, but the child design open in Affinity Designer and see edits in real-time just like if both were open in the same app. Something like: right-click "Open in Designer" (Ultimately, I'm imagining the child as a separate linked file; but is such a thing possible for the embedded Designer content as is currently implemented?) For now, I'm just hitting Designer>Save, Photo>Replace, ad nausium. (using two separate files) Thanks! Lovin' these apps more every day!
