Nice! Do you have an ETA on when the Export Persona crash bug will be fixed?

I think this is rather a response to the threadstarter...
It is good to know, though, that both options are there and easily accessible

Hi @Guntram,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Select the group in the Layers panel then in the context toolbar untick Allow selection to consider items inside a group in the context toolbar (it's the only button you ahve selected before the Convert to Curves button). It should then behave as in version 1.

Hi der.guen,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Select the dashed line go to menu Layer ▸ Expand Stroke (to convert the line to a curve/shape). You can then subtract it from the heart shape.
Another option you have is set the blend mode of the dashed line to Erase (the dropdown in the top of the Layers panel), however this will rasterise the objects if you export them to a vector format like PDF etc. To keep everything as vector use the first method instead.

Hi MEB,
thanks for your reply and help. The only reason to color the Layers is to set up an "own" structure and to make the Layer Panel more readable.
As you mentioned, there are so many different kind of "LayerTypes", I just do not get the reason why there should be a problem to give each Layer a color I want. Should be easy or?
As I posted this on feature request, again my request :)
Feature Request:
Abbility to set up an own folder Structure in the LayerPanel Window Set Different Colors to these folders and Layers Make the Layers searchable by Attribute or Name Please Make the selected state color more visible in the Layerpanel, at the moment its a dark "marineblue" which is hard to recognise on the dark ui
Find attached a comparison to Affinity and PS. The Layer Panel is just better readable in PS
Thanks for your replies so far.
Best regards
nod

Can´t see the reason why there is a restriciton for coloring layers. Most of my Layers are Symbols, and Fonts. :(
I am working on Windows. Nevertheless, changing the Highlight color system wide is in my opinion a no go, sorry.
As I mentioned. As the Layer Panel is a central work element it really could receive more attention regarding UI and usability. Would be great if serif could invest some time in here to refine this control.
Just my 50 cents ;)
