After using Affinity Designer for about 6 months, one of the most issues I really hope Serif would update in the future is auto rename the artboard/layer based on original artboard/layer name likes "Artboard 1 copy 1", "Artboard 1 copy 2",...
Affinity Photo also need this feature for sure.
From this article:
For now, the main effort is on getting Publisher out of the door early next year. After that, Hewson says there will probably be an asset manager to organise Affinity files, perhaps in 2020. In the meantime, Serif plans to work on extensibility, to open up Affinity so third parties can write plugins and links, historically part of the appeal of Adobe’s and Quark’s success. “If everything goes well we may have that capability towards the end of next year, 12 months away,” says Hewson. “We will then be wanting to talk to people who might want to take advantage of that. There are very specific high end use cases for print.”
So, there is a possibility for us to see Astute Graphics' stuff in the Affinity world.
Best regards!
