Spidermarc

On Win10 with designer v2.2.1 In a document I can select with simple clicking a Png, frame text, a group of curves, but NOT not frame text "masked" with a png (when the png is dropped on the text layer thumbnail without rasterizing to mask first). When the PNG is rasterized as mask first and then dropped on the text layer thumbnail, the mask effect differs and the move tool "auto select" works as expected. Also when the PNG is dropped the text layer name (not on the layer thumbnail) the "mask effect" differs again and the move tool "auto select" works fine. I apologize for presumably using "mask", "masked" and "mask effect" wrong. Affinity Designer 2 2023-10-31 09-48-04.mp4

@ NotMyFault and fde101, many thanks, that indeed works for me ! (meaning it technically works and my chaotic brain can cope with it)

Hi Dev team, Please enable re-editing/tweaking the gradient tool on all layers ( especially on mask layers, not just on fill layers) This would massively improve my workflow

..So, I`ve just also installed The Firefox add-on Dark Reader. I understand that Invision probably has limitations obstructing this forum from offering a proper dark theme. As customer I would have been happy with a short statement from Serif that acknowledges the problem, specifies the roadblock (Invision?) ,points at the workaround and assures that action will be taken as soon as possible . This request being ignored whilst my eyes hurt reading the forum does not invoke positive feelings towards Serif...

Please make the crop ratio mode sticky in the very next beta. The current situation is mega frustrating and the request is around since more than two years
