It could be a bag, but with those sloping sides it looks more like a handbag/purse than a shopping bag.

You’re not wrong. Please see AF-6025.

Some of us would put on weight just from looking at that!

I obviously can’t speak for the OP, but I wouldn’t want to lose either of those controls!

@Hangman listed two steps: What are the four steps to which you refer?

Each of the current Windows versions of the Affinity apps offers a choice between MSIX and MSI/EXE, and between x64 and ARM64.

Do you have any way of testing that? We can see the largest numbers mentioned on these forums in relation to any given issue-tracking project, but more often than not we don’t even know whether an issue has been reported as a bug to be fixed or an improvement to be implemented, and some bugs may be trivial things like spelling errors. If you see a tag like HCL-1234 you may be able to work out from the context what the issue description might look like, and the discussion around it may tell you something about its severity in terms of its impact on the user, but without inside knowledge we can’t say whether it’s a high or low priority issue from the developers’ point of view, and we only know that an issue has been fixed if a Serif staff member or the Affinity Info Bot tells us about it.

Affinity Designer is a hybrid vector/raster drawing app, but (unlike Affinity Photo) it doesn’t support Photoshop-compatible ‘Effects’ filters. Manipulation of vectors in Affinity Photo is relatively limited.

Likewise for me, any connection with the US flag seems tenuous at best. The blue is much paler than the blue on the flag, the stars are four-pointed with curved sides instead of five-pointed with straight sides, and there are no stripes.

Off topic, “Mi-Cho-Ko” doesn’t work well in English as a name for sweets!

How small is the image? Does the problem also occur with larger images?

I don’t see how you can avoid printing twice where the lines meet, unless you break up the circles and remove any overlaps. And if you do that, you’re pretty much guaranteed to introduce gaps unless registration remains perfect throughout the process. If you want to do a Boolean “add”, you need to “expand stroke” first. And that comes with its own problems…

You could have asked here before making the purchase, and/or you could have found out during the (woefully short) seven days of the trial period.

It absolutely should not be integrated into the typeface! An obvious example is guillemets, which are properly separated from the enclosed text by spaces in France but not in Switzerland or Germany: « guillemets » «Gänsefüsschen» »Gänsefüßchen«

There are variables such as spreadwidth and spreadheight that you may be able to use. Affinity Designer 2 Help: Expressions for field input

Also not “Postponed” or “Won’t Fix”.

The child layers are rendered invisible by the invisibility of the parent layer. What you’re asking for is like putting some unlocked boxes inside a bigger box, locking the bigger box and expecting to have continued access to the contents of the unlocked boxes inside.

I can’t help noticing that you haven’t been specific about what “Certain layers” refers to!

Are logged issues ever removed from the issue tracking system??

Why copy and paste? Doesn’t a crucial issue deserve a link to the previous discussion so that we can see what other users have already said?

Does it also fail with PNG? Are you using APh version 1 or version 2?

As @Ali wrote in reply to your OP: Please at least tell us which version of Windows you have, and the make and model of your graphics tablet. Does AD2 still crash if you don’t launch it until after your tablet is connected?

In Pen mode, click (without dragging) at the start point, and then click (again without dragging) at the end point. Alternatively, use Line mode or Polygon mode. *fixing
