I don't know of an easier way than that I'm afraid.

The blue shape isn't closed. Click on this option when using the Node Tool (A) to close the shape. Then with the Node Tool selected, mouse over the line and left click and pull to the right slightly and the node handles will appear test-adjusted.afdesign

I don't know about H1 tags etc but Font, Size etc can be viewed by turning on Character and Paragraph Panels under View > Studio

A very good source for images is Pixabay a great community of very generous people sharing their art and photos.

Hi all, I'd like to request location links to things like the brushes, assets, swatches files etc in the Preference Panel. So links for those files would have a Show In Finder button on a Tab maybe called Presets Location or something similar.

Welcome to the forum, when opening the New Panorama... option and clicking Add in the window that pops up do you see an option for Media in the side bar, normally at the bottom of the sidebar and underneath Media it would say Photos, that's where you would access your images for the Panorama stitching.

Swatches panel The Swatches panel makes it easy to use predefined colours, and also to define, store and reuse your own selection of colours. About the Swatches panel The Swatches panel stores your recently used colours and lets you access a range of predefined palettes, each containing solid or gradient fill swatches. These can be selected for use with various tools and for applying directly to objects. You can also create and store your own swatches as custom colour palettes either for the document, application or system-wide, as well as import any exported Affinity .afpalette from other users or import Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) palettes. As well as accessing palette, you can create global and spot colours, and make colours overprint. Your registration colour can also be customized. Swatches panel: (A) Colour 1/Colour 2 (left) or Stroke/Fill colour selectors with colour 'none' swatch and 'swap' arrow, (B) Colour picker tool and picked colour swatch, (C) Category list (showing Application, left, and Document, right), (D) Category colour palette swatches, (E) Search, (F) Panel Preferences, (G) Opacity control, (H) Recently used colours, (I) None, Black, Mid-grey and White swatches, (J) Add current colour to palette as a global colour, (K) Add current fill to palette, (L) Registration colour, (M) Global colour, (N) Overprint colour, (O) Spot colour. Markings which distinguish specialist colour swatches: (A) Global, (B) Overprint, (C) Spot. Like the Colour panel, the Swatches panel has different states depending on the active Persona and on the selected tool. The large colour swatch selectors indicate the currently selected colours. The Swatches panel also shows None, Black, Mid-grey and White swatches, recently used colours and an opacity control. Swatches are organized into colour palettes by category. To add a customized registration colour for professional printing, click Panel Preferences, then select Add Registration Colour. Preset colour palettes (available from the category list pop-up menu) include macOS colour palettes such as Apple, Web Safe Colours, System, and Crayons. To list swatches by name instead of thumbnail, click Panel Preferences, then select Show as List. Colour selector swatches In Draw Persona, objects have stroke and fill properties. The stroke colour is represented by the cutout colour selector swatch (A below). The fill is represented by the solid colour selector swatch (B below). Here's the swatches that you'll see for vector and pixel tools. The selected swatch selector is at the front. In this illustration the selected colour selector swatch is: (A) Stroke, (B) Fill, (C) Foreground (Colour 1), and (D) Background (Colour 2). The active swatch is whichever is shown in front of the other. You can quickly switch between swatch selectors by pressing the x . These swatches change appearance for some vector tools. Fill Tool: When selected, only one colour selector swatch is shown to represent the fill only. Vector Brush Tool: When selected, the panel shows foreground and background swatches that can be swapped by clicking the adjacent double arrow. Working with palettes The ten most recently used colours are automatically added to the panel on a temporary basis. You can permanently store custom colours and gradients that you use most often in any of the palettes or you can create custom palettes to host them. Although you can add colours to any of the predefined palette categories, we recommend that you always create your own. The following types of palette exist within Affinity Designer: Document—these palettes are saved within the current document. Application—these palettes are saved within Affinity Designer. These palettes are available to any Affinity Designer document. System—these palettes are saved to your operating system. These palettes are available within Affinity Designer and other applications installed on your system. PANTONE®—these palettes are based on PANTONE® Colours. These palettes are available to any Affinity Designer document. Saving and deleting custom colour palettes To create a new palette: Click Panel Preferences and choose an Add Palette option. From Panel Preferences, you can also rename and delete the selected palette. To save a colour or gradient to a palette: On the Swatches panel, select a palette from the palette pop-up menu. Do one of the following: -click an object, then from the pop-up menu, click Add to Swatches and choose to add colour from fill, stroke or both. Select Add current colour to palette. Use the Stroke/Fill colour selector to target the colour. To edit a saved swatch:To delete a saved swatch: Generating a palette from document You can generate a palette from the colours used throughout your document. To generate a palette from document: Click Panel Preferences and choose an option from Create Palette from Document. A new palette is created (named after the document) using all the colours currently in the document. Sharing custom palettes You can also share custom colour palettes for use by other Affinity users. To export a colour palette: To import a colour palette: Click Panel Preferences and select a palette type from the Import Palette sub-menu. Locate the file you want to import and click Open. The newly imported palette will now be available to choose in the palette pop-up menu. Using the above method you can also import palettes from Adobe applications (such as Illustrator, InDesign and PhotoShop) using an Adobe Swatch Exchange file (*.ase).

Fair points, but I'm sure if such a thing was to be considered the dev's would eliminate most if not all of those issues with a first release. Having a central sync space that updates a local source would be a bonus if done right. I doubt there are many instances where the lack of an internet connection would be a hindrance, if only for the short term, I would suspect that syncing would be done when one had access to a WIFI port, that could be pretty much anywhere in the modern world and even in such places as internet access is not readily available it would be available at some point. If you were working on a project and required an Asset that say somebody else had created or added, you would be in communication with them anyway and would find an access point to facilitate asset transfer. Internet access is a workaround problem that would be dealt with by the Asset Access'ee, As the saying goes, " Where there's a will, there's a way".

Dropbox is cloud based but I've just used Dropbox and Mega as an example for both Mac and Windows users alike, I'm sure Mac users would easily benefit from such an option. Many apps seem to be able to cope with modified files from one computer to another so I can't really see that being much of an issue.

Would be cool to change the storage option of Assets to such as DropBox, Mega etc. so they are synced to all your Affinity designer versions.

Do you come from the land down under, Where women glow and men plunder?

That's some serious pen work lol! I can imagine you drawing to Flight of the bumble bee Must be hard to decide when a work is done?

Awesome art isocult. Have you got much more to do? If I was being picky I'd say he looks like he's got a fake tan, tone it down bit, maybe desaturate a bit and put some detail into the whites of the eyes, they look too white, they need some shading. Like the texturing of the pores and you have his expression spot on.

Would be a nice show piece for Affinity.
