That is only true on Mac, I think, and even there Serif have said that it's appearance is a bug which will be fixed at some point. I would not depend on it long-term.

True. But if it is used that way in any applications, it is not correct to say it has no effect. Yes, we should be using PPI not DPI, but this is a lost battle. Language usage evolves, and influences technology. It's really the same thing that happens with the arguments about dictionaries and whether they should prescribe how words should be used, or describe how they are actually used.

The idea expressed earlier is that you doubld-click on the embedded object to open an editing tab for it, copy everything in that tab and close it, then paste it into the original document. Yes, the original is still embedded, but you can simply Hide it using the Layer panel, or Delete it using the Layer panel, and use the data that you copied/pasted. Or if you have Publisher, you can use the Resource Manager to "Make Linked". That function is new since this thread started.

Type autotrace into the forum search box and you should find many discussions, and many suggestions for other tracing programs. Perhaps one of them will work on your system. But where did you see that it doesn't work on a current macOS? This page says it should work on 10.11 or higher: https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-on-mac.html

Regardless, it is used by applications to determine the display/print size of objects.

True, but some applications will use the DPI to determine what size to display an image (just as a printer will use it to determine what size to print the image).

There isn't.

I think the point is that filters aren't displayed accurately when the image is zoomed out to less than 100%, due to the application's user if MipMaps. If you zoom out so you can see the complete image, you don't get a realistic view of what will export as the filter results change. I think there are ways around this, using Merge Visible, or applying/merging the filter.

It's not. Using the Persona is simpler and probably safer.

Right, but only if you have a Canvas, rather than Artboards

No. As NathanC mentioned, you can just switch to the Photo Persona in Publisher if you also own Photo. Or you can use File > Edit in Photo once you've got the editing tab for the Linked resource opened. Switching to the Photo Persona is simpler; just one click.

Affinity doesn't have any auto-tracing functions.

Pretty sure I tested with Acrobat Reader when I posted above. Perhaps you have some options set incorrectly in The Reader?

Thanks for the .afdesign file. If I Export that file using the PDF for Print Preset (or the EPS Preset, which seems to be the last one you used before Saving the file) I get the green background and the correct text color.

The Grow/Shrink dialog comes up where I last moved it, on Windows. I agree it would be nice if it worked that way on Mac, too. I think there are Mac-related discussions of other dialog windows that don't maintain the position set by the user, too.

Even if it is, it doesn't change the answer, really, though it does provide a workaround. The user can't update that list, either. But they could create their own Preset of the size they want, and access it in the My Presets part of the dialog. Or they could create a Template the size they want.

As suggested in the Forum Guidelines for this forum, it's good to search before posting. For example, here's a search for OM-1 RAW done via the Search box in the forums: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&q=OM-1 RAW&quick=1

Thanks. That seems to explain it.

Odd. It works for me, and I presume it also works for Mac users or someone would have mentioned it by now:

It works fine for me. Almost sounds like you're using the "cog" for the FInd field when you want to specify the formatting for Replace. That won't work, of course. You need to use the cog in the Replace field to specify the Replace format info. (Unless there is an issue for Mac that Windows doesn't have, but I think I'd remember a report of one.)

There are no other functions supported by Designer as far as I know. As you mentioned, you could use Publisher, which supports Tables.

Can you tell us more about how you're trying to do it? When I've done it, I was easily able to Align a row of the objects, then select the row and use Power Duplicate to make the grid of rows.

You could place one frame on a Master Page, put the words in it, and then apply that Master Page to any document pages that needs that frame.

Your Contents page should be a Table of Contents, as that is how TOC entries work, automatically. Alternatively, if you don't use a TOC, you can create an Anchor on your recipe, and a Hyperlink pointing to it on your Contents page. You would export it as a PDF, and the recipient would use a PDF viewer.

As a workaround, you can create an Artboard of the size you want, once, and add it to the Assets panel. Then whenever you need a different one, you can simply drag it from Assets onto your document workspace. Alternatively, you can create a new document of the size you want (e.g, A2) and choose "Create Artboard". Then copy that Artboard and paste into the document that needs it. But yes, it would be convenient to have more choices available directly, ,as you mentioned.
