Maybe I just don't understand your description, but the solution for me is the procedure described earlier:
Unfortunately, this is not an optimal procedure, because the content of the artboard needs to be transferred to the new one.
At the same time, double-clicking on the handle points of the artboard bounding box works, but somehow strangely - it sets the size of the artboard to a square 🙃
Which is a shame, because it could/should do content-based sizing like a Text Frame.

Yep, that exception relates precisely to the improvement I originally requested.

Just to make this clear, you can use the Artboard Tool or the Move Tool to snap artboards to other artboards or objects inside other artboards. The only case where this doesn't work is when you are trying to snap the artboard to objects contained inside the same artboard.

I often resize artboards to match new variations in content, e.g. adjust artboard height after creating a design version which is bigger or more compact. Would be great if it was possible to quickly adjust the size of the artboard to perfectly match the content.

Hey!
Is there an easy way to synchronize color palettes so that I have the same colors swatches in all three apps (Windows Version)? Would be helpful as I work a lot with my own collections of colors and sometimes adjust them in one app but have to remember to do it in the other apps too... 
Thanks for the help.

I sometimes write in multiple languages, and when I use a font that doesn't support the language, Designer automatically chooses a similar font that supports the language I'm writing in. Is there a way to know what font Designer has chosen for me?

OK. Resolved. Apparently one of the linked files exploded in size from 2MB to 350MB whan saved with history causing load to be stuck.

Sounds like a reasonable enhancement to ask for in the Feature Requests forum

Just adding another voice for support for variable fonts. This is #1 on my list of priorities now.

Ok, so it exists under the node, which I would believe you even without the proof, but the real question is, HOW to get it out from under it? 
I believe there's no real way to do it, but if that's the case, it should be implemented soon..

Good call; Save As shaved off about 200 MB, but now I still have a 500MB file with only one 50MB image in it.

Hello!
 
I am a font designer and I constantly use the Application font folder in Adobe Illustrator. The folder I'm referring to is cited here in the section "About Fonts":
 
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/fonts.html
 
My workflow involves editing glyphs in my font editor, then exporting the font files to this Adobe font folder. This is important because I can test small changes in my fonts very quickly without needing to install and uninstall fonts to and from the system (which often requires a restart.) We're talking about hours and hours of time saved thanks to this folder. It's vital to my work.
 
There are other benefits to this folder. Say you've purchased a new font and you're not sure if you're going to use it very much, or just want quickly to test it on a single project. You can drop the files in this folder and test it out in Illustrator without installing the font in your system.
 
Is there a chance of seeing a similar feature in Affinity Designer? This feature is the only reason I still use Adobe Illustrator. Without it, though, I cannot fully make the switch to Designer. None of the competition offers this feature either.
 
Thanks for your consideration.
