Thanks a lot for help! It works with switching this off and re-selecting objects. Hope there is a keyboard shortcut for this modifier.

After selecting several objects from different layers, when I try to move them all at once by click-dragging, one object moves and all other stay in place. Only when I click-drag topmost object they move all together. Recorded a video: Affinity Designer Bug.mp4

Also, if layers are color-coded (orange, red, etc.), snapshots remove all the information about this. If I have 100+ color-coded layers, it's problematic to return to the previous snapshot.

Right now, they lack few very basic features: - Key shortcut "add a new snapshot." I have to open the panel and aim for the tiny button instead of one click. I couldn't find any shortcuts in Preferences. - Double-clicking on a snapshot loads the snapshot. Right now, again, I need to train in aiming. - Shortcut for "new document from a snapshot". Or maybe double-click with modifier. Also, symbols in snapshots don't behave properly. If I update the symbol in the last version, it will be updated in all snapshots starting from the first.

+1 for this feature.

Yes, gradient stops, thank you. It should be very easy and minor thing since it's just a property. Affinity already provides saving color palette from selection or image, which is a much more complex task.

Thank you, Graphite Addict. Placing a new symbol requires much more energy when the symbol is complex and is nested inside groups and layers. In big projects, this is a very daunting task. I'll provide another example. I have a symbol with 30 objects inside, 7 of them tweaked (complex infographics part). I open the project in few days and see that I need to revert 3 of them to the original version. It's more logical to look inside the symbol in the layers panel and re-sync 3 out of 7 with an orange dotted line than to delete the whole symbol because of it and place another. There might be an even better way to handle and organize symbols, but this software behavior is intuitively expected when looking at the layers panel.

While working with symbols and editing some instances, sometimes there is a need to revert and inherit properties of the original symbol. Now the only way to do this is to delete the instance and copy the original symbol again. It would be more handy to inherit the original property from the object in mother symbol.

+1 for this feature.

Please add a minor feature when I select an object with gradient and "Add color as Global.." to add all colors that produce gradient to global. E.g., it consists of 5 primary colors, and the button will export all 5 colors to the swatches palette in one click.

+1 for searching layers by name.

+1 on this. Using styles with the same logic as text styles would be a massive time-saver for appropriate tasks.

Yes, thank you. I tried it in Publisher, and it works perfectly found a bug already. But my initial question was about Designer, as the topic conversation suggests.

Any news on Bleed Preview?
