I was wondering what 's really missing from Affinity products. The toolset is innovative, creative and highly precise I love that. But the workflow could be more fluid. What I really like in UI apps, I only see what I need at the moment. When I select a rectangle I see every property for that shape. Rounding, stroke, rotation, translation, colors etc. I don't have to see paragraph or character options at this moment. It's really unnecessary.
Do you planning to design anything like that for affinity? I've seen Adobe tried but it's not perfect. There is a few property missing from their dynamic panel. Here is the properties in Figma:

I'm not sure is that 1.8 related or existed before but I feel the bezier manipulations just a little bit unresponsive. I expect instant reaction but there is so much delay...
I made an example compared to Figma's responsivity to maniplulation. I tried to demonstrate it visible as possible but I think it's more like using a wireless mouse against a wired one. You can't see the difference but absolutely can feel it.

Apart from them being very handy, these icons are available in the other two apps, so it would be good to have them in Photo if only for the sake of consistency across the apps.

Hi Adam,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
The requests themselves were not "archived" and are still being considered by the dev teams. We had to a archive the old Feature Requests section because we decided to expanded/reorganise it to include sub-sections for each specific app/platform (rather than keep mixing all requests into a single section). The old one (this you are reading now) with all mixed posts was marked as archived.

Hi All,
I am Adam Simon from Hungary. I'm a graphic designer student since forever. Now I'm just before graduation and working for a software developer company almost half a year. I've been use Adobe applications since 7-8 years. Now I started to feel how obsolete, slow and complicated those. In the last few years I felt my designer tools holds me back to be creative and enjoy my work. Now I'm rather 3D designer because of that. I'm modeling a lot in Cinema 4D, but a software called Figma pulled me back. I knew a lot about App and Webdesign before, but I always felt struggling with Photoshop. Now I love to design applications, so I decided to give a chance for Affinity to create logos, flyers, illustrations again.
