Need Unicode Support for Bangla Language.
This thread is about saving to external drives, so your post about lack of Unicode support for Bangla doesn’t belong here. (None of the version 1 Affinity apps offer Unicode support for any Indic languages, and that hasn’t changed for version 2).

Looks like those email addresses are each for a specific developer, possibly the team lead for the app.
Yes, that’s exactly what those email addresses are: MattP for Designer, AndyS for Photo, and AdamW for Publisher.

6. Repeat it with the last edge.
The intersection of the three straight lines should be the rotation center. Place the rotation point there.
The third straight line will intersect at the same point as the first two, so it isn’t needed.

Couldn’t you establish the centre by using a three-pointed star, suitably adjusted?

Any idea how this was done for the Affinity workbooks.
I’m pretty sure the Affinity workbooks were created in PagePlus, Serif’s older and more mature DTP software. The first version of Affinity Publisher didn’t have suitable features for consolidating chapters written by multiple authors.

This is why the name "AI" is fairly crass and childish - machine learning models don't think at the moment, they're not intelligent.
The name “AI” doesn’t strike me as even remotely childish. It literally stands for “Artificial Intelligence”, as distinct from real intelligence: that’s what the Turing Test is all about.

@Old Bruce, I read it exactly the same way! That’s why I attached a screenshot of the artist’s tweet where he wrote:

What OS do you use?

Except today, 14th Dec 2022, the Affinity home page says:
Launch offer: 40% off until 25 January 2023
The offer period was extended a few days ago.

Thinking about this further, if the train has a code number, in a similar way that aeroplane flights have a flight number, then this could be used after the
Please consider a train.
sentence.
If the train has a code number, you can dispense with “Please consider a train.” and instead simply incorporate that number into the specific sentence; e.g.
QuoteThe destination of train #007 is as follows.

One reporter said about people having problems finding out what is happening, particularly if they are visiting from abroad and don't know English.
So I am thinking that if there were some standardized localizable sentences, such as the following, each with a symbol ans a code number, that could be helpful.
----
Please consider a train.
The destination of the train is as follows.
The scheduled departure time is as follows.
The new departure time is as follows.
The train is cancelled.
The train will leave from the following platform.
----
Even those six localizable sentences could be very helpful to someone who does not know the language of the country where they are travelling.
How do you envision the sentence “Please consider a train.” being used?

I wonder why, given that they had chosen to look at the thread …
I imagine that many people will open the thread with the expectation that the poem will be visible on the web page, and that upon seeing the words

If you’re connecting via a VPN, try switching it off.

A good suggestion, as long as the original file doesn’t contain any editable text. Text in an Affinity file is rasterized on export to PSD, so it will no longer be editable when the PSD file is reopened in an Affinity app.

Most of the files are listed as ‘Nul kB’, so it’s hardly surprising that there’s nothing to see!

Welcome back to the Serif Affinity Forums, Michael.
What is the name of the font, and where did you download it from?

Not a big deal (in fact, very small deal) but "Initializing" is spelled in the British manner in the loading screen. My locale is en-US.
The silly thing is, “Initializing” is perfectly acceptable in British English. In fact, it’s the preferred spelling for Oxford Dictionaries.

It's just one click/tap to hide it.
I know, but that clearly doesn’t suit everybody!

You can toggle the command controller on and off using the icon highlighted with the red box as shown here.
The problem is that there doesn’t seem to be a Preferences setting to keep it hidden until further notice.

Please choose a different font. I cannot be certain that your company is called Sarah's Pretty Plagues instead of Sarah's Pretty Plaques.
I suspect that a ‘g’ would have a curved descender like that of the ‘y’, but I agree with you. The difference between the caps height and the x-height in the current font is so small that ‘a’ and ‘d’ (and ‘h’ and ‘n’) are just barely distinguishable from each other.
@SarahK Here’s a possible alternative for your consideration:

The ‘mystyle’ font is free for personal and commercial use.
