Why do you say "no doubt"?
Because I’m a master of the unwarranted assumption, of course!

Understood. It’s a pity that the forum notifications system doesn’t flag up edits, but I don’t think that’s something Serif can tweak.

Yes, the newest video showed another attempt at using Merge Selected.
As you’ll no doubt have seen, I edited my post to reflect that. I didn’t watch the newest video until after I posted!

Question 2) Is there a way to underestand If there is open curve or not?
As I said in an earlier post:
On 8/21/2023 at 12:15 PM, Alfred said:Your screenshot shows that the ‘Break’ button is active, which tells you that one (or both) of the selected curves is closed.
When you select a closed curve with the Node Tool, the ‘Break’ button will be enabled. When you select an open curve with the Node Tool, the ‘Close’ button will be enabled. Those two buttons are never both enabled at the same time.

I very much doubt that you used the Merge Curves command that I suggested. I think you tried something else with the word merge in it.
Quite correct. The video posted by @Mainecoon364 shows an attempt to the layer option ‘Merge Selected’.
On 8/21/2023 at 2:13 PM, lepr said:Edit: Looking at the online help for the iPad app, it seems the commands Merge Curves and Separate Curves are missing.
Both of those commands are available via the ‘Operations’ section of the Edit (‘…’) menu in AD1 on iPad.

The color profile of the Affinity Document is RGB.
What happens if you change the colour profile of the document to CMYK before importing the image?

I Joined them without Breaking first, above. Or were the Curves not Closed then?
I didn’t download either of the OP’s files, so I’m only going by what I saw in the video and the subsequent screenshot. If you were able to join two curves without breaking them first, they must both have been open.

I am making transfers for models but the lettering is not a current font. I am therefore tracing images of the letters.
Where did you get the images from? It’s quite possible that you could find an existing font which is similar enough to save you a ton of work!

Join Button does not appear on the Context Toolbar
Your screenshot shows that the ‘Break’ button is active, which tells you that one (or both) of the selected curves is closed. You cannot join closed curves, so you need to break them first.

By the way, developers develop what is decided must be developed - they don't design user interfaces.
OK, so I misspoke. I should have said that default behaviour is, by definition, whatever the developers have implemented. Better now?

Default behavior should be entirely up to the customer.
Default behaviour is, by definition, whatever the developers have chosen.

Given that the developers will have their own ideas about what should happen with a single shortcut keypress and what should happen if one or more modifier keys are also used, I see nothing wrong with enabling the user to swap things around so that their preferred behaviour is easier to invoke.

Is the knife tool available in Designer V1 for iPad too? I only can find the slice tool but that doesn’t work like the knife tool.
Although the video title (and the topic title for this thread) is ‘Slice, Dice, & Design: Knife Tool Tutorial for Affinity Designer’, the Knife Tool is actually new in version 2.

There is a light version of the Calibri font
Just to be clear, Calibri Light is one of the full-featured weights in the Calibri family, not a ‘light’ font in the sense of being limited in some way.

I think there was a feature request made at some point to change the text to something like “Affinity Photo 2 version 2.x.y is currently the newest available.” to make this more clear, but I can’t find it. (Or maybe I just imagined it.)
Or even simpler, “Affinity Photo version 2.x.y”. If the major version number is included with the minor version and build numbers, there’s no need to state it separately.

I would personally lose the 'apostrophe-s' from the end of “Accounting” on the top-right of the front(?).
So would I, for whatever it’s worth. Less negotiable is this apostrophe on the second page:
QuoteRemoval of Bank Levy's
It’s plural, not possessive, so it should say
QuoteRemoval of Bank Levies
Also on that page:
QuoteNegotiate …
Asking …
Requesting …
Offering …
Filing …
I recommend changing the first one to “Negotiating”.
For a consistent punctuation style, you should replace
Quotea "flat" (fixed) fee
with
Quotea “flat” (fixed) fee
i.e. curly quotation marks instead of straight ones.

Can you confirm that you have a licence (either individual or universal) for the retail version of Publisher 2 on iPad? You can’t use the iPad customer beta if you only have, say, a licence for the Mac version of APub 2.

I'm a binary person, I like a yes or a no! 😂
At least no crashes! 👍🏻
If I have a choice between a yes or a no, and no crashes, then give me yes every time!

Do you really switch between dark and light modes for the user interface, or is the first one perhaps from Photo V1 instead of V2?
The V2 icons have a dark border, the V1 icons don’t.

To enable palm rejection: go to Preferences, open the Tools tab, and switch on ‘Touch for gestures only’.

The positioning problem has been reported numerous times. Many of us agree with you that the position shouldn’t matter, but it currently does.
‘Force Pixel Alignment’ works as you and I would expect if (and only if) ‘Move by Whole Pixels’ is disabled. When ‘Move by Whole Pixels’ is enabled, it overrides ‘Force Pixel Alignment’.
