In AP for windows then you export  image (File -Export) the default pop-up window "Export settings" lets you make some fine tuning and then you press [ Export...] button and "Save as..." dialogue with the last used directory opens. 
Some times you need to  save alternative copy of the image at the same location as original.  Some times within dedicated export folder.
So it could be a pain to jump through all the places. 

It would be nice to
1)  have this special dedicated catalog in preferences (or even better in presets) 
2)  let user choose with special switch were to store file :
last used folder save with original (editable file name with auto rename rule and no influence on the last used folder) save within dedicated export folder  Or at least it could be just one more button next to  [ Export...] which will sounds something like [Save with original]

I have been using Affinity Photo since mid 2017 and overall love the program but do have some issues with the UI, especially the RAW engine develop mode.
Exposure has this nice slider with an edit box containing 2 digit precision  which is extremely helpful.
My complaint is that things like Blackpoint go black very fast in full 1% increments, so why don't we have the same 2 digit precision control for the other sliders too?
Having retired from the programming profession after over 30 years, I know for a fact that although 0 to 100% may be the range, creating a double precision floating point variable to control it is not rocket science.    I like very precise control in RAW development.    At the moment (for 18 months now), I've been forced to export into TIFF and bring back in for any semblance of control over such rudimentary features.
Please consider putting in those boxes and give your users the ability to precisely control these aspects of the RAW development process.   It would surely shorten my workflow.
Thanks for listening.

it's great to be able to dbl click on the slider to reset the value to default.
how about using the mouse scroll wheel to change the value of the slider?
TIA!

It really bugs everyone who does raw editing.   I know they've read some of Alan Cooper's work since they have major tasks named "personas" which is straight out of his material.   Wonder why they didn't also pay attention to what he said about such message boxes insulting their users?    A conundrum to be sure. LOL

Great idea, also bugs the hell out of me. Far too often I open the wrong file and have to click more than once to back out of my mistake. I know I should be more careful in choosing which files to open. And at times I get called away and just want to cancel the opening of a RAW file as part of the shutting down of the computer.
+ 1 on the checkbox.

I have been using affinity since mid 2017 and overall love the program but do have some issues with the UI (comes from being a programmer for over 30 years).
After answering Yes to this dialog an uncountable number of times, please put in a way to make it go away.     It was useful for about 3 times and since then a major annoyance.  

If your programming staff doubts my word, Alan Cooper (inventor of visual basic) has quite a lot to say about this subject in "About Face" (still available in the first edition from Amazon last time I checked).     Modal dialogs like this for rank beginners are ineffective at best and very annoying to anybody with more than an hour's use of the RAW engine (which is quite good)
Thanks for listening and hopefully this dialog can be given a check box to make it permanently disappear from my work flow.   [/rant off]
