Hello, I have experienced this several time in multiple different Affinity Designer documents and on two different Mac Operating systems. First, here are my specs: - MacBook Pro Retina 13 Inch Late 2013 - Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3 - 16 GB RAM - Intel Iris 1536 MB Graphics Card Here is what happened I was in the process of creating a system swatch pallette. I first changed the swatch pallette to list view, medium size swatches. Then, I renamed the swatch pallette, created 5 colors, and then renamed one of the colors which was 4th from the top. When I tried to move the swatch from the 4th position to the top position, the program crashed. I restarted the program and the same thing happened. I then tried to open the file up in Affinity Publisher, and repeat the process.... same thing. I am using no attached peripherals when this happens.

This has been my experience and if there is a screenshot you might share please do. But on my side this is what Ive experienced. You are right that I gotten it to snap to the bounding box itself... but I am referring to the ability to be more precise by having more decision making ability. For EX: While it does snap to the bounding box itself, lets say that the stroke of an object is set to "Outside". And lets say that the object is snapped to a guide. Well then the snapping location will be on the outside of the object.... but inside of the stroke. And because there are situations where I don't like the look of an inside or middle stroke, then it would be nice to have the option of being able to snap an outside stroked object.... to the outside of the stroke itself. That example would satisfy the number 1 I posted for that scenario. Because what currently happens in that same scenario.... is that the outside stroke.. overlaps outside the snapping point. And this example is only for scenario 1. If there any buttons or switches I am missing to make this happen please let me know and would be grateful. Thanks

When changing the position of the stroke on an object using the stroke alignment panel (Inside, Middle, Outside) please provide the ability for the object to snap to either the Inside, Middle, or Outside of the object when snapping is activated. Currently the way the program works... when an object has the stroke aligned to the outside, then the object still snaps to the inside edge where the fill or image begins. If the stroke is aligned to the middle, then the object still snaps the the fill edge, so the stroke is on top of the snap line. And the same is true for the stroke when aligned to inside. So please allow for any one alignment option of the stroke to be combined with any one snap position. This would result in 9 possible alignment-snap combos. 1) Stroke Outside - Snap Outside 2) Stroke Outside - Snap Middle 3) Stroke Outside - Snap Inside 4) Stroke Middle - Snap Outside 5) Stroke Middle - Snap Middle 6) Stroke Middle - Snap Inside 7) Stroke Inside - Snap Outside 😎 Stroke Inside - Snap Middle 9) Stroke Inside- Snap Inside Thanks, David

Affinity has been extremely forward thinking with their Photo and Designer.... I prefer the speed and ease of use over Photoshop and Illustrator. I have become aware that Affinity will be coming out with Affinity Publisher soon which is also exciting. But if Affinity can produce a video editing software that has the same speed and ease of use as their other products, I would be extremely excited. There are practical things I think Affinity would implement in their video editing package that the other big name brands (Final Cut Pro, Premiere) would not conceptualize. And the same would be true if Affinity made a compositing software. So please please make a video editing package and compositing package that gives me an excuse to stop using Premiere and After Effects! With all of these apps combined... not only would Affinity become a Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign killer..... but a Creative Cloud killer in general!

1) A wider variety of selection tools.... especially for Photo. Photoshop still has superior selection tools in terms of both how many they have, and how they are implemented. Affinity Photo is awesome.... but a more diverse set of selection tools would make it that much more awesome 2) The ability to change the size of of the thumbnails in the layers panel. This would help for those projects that have lots and lots of layers. 3) The ability to color code layers, groups, and folder groups in the layers panel. This speeds up workflow in that a user can quickly scan lots of layers by color instead of having to read the name of every layer.

I would like to build on the idea of arrowheads being added. This was covered to some degree by a different poster but I want to add a couple of things: 1- Arrowheads being added to either end of the Pen Tool one the Bezier has been drawn. Different arrow head type option and can also make an outline around the line. 2- The arrowhead tip automatically snaps to shapes used as nodes to make diagrams (like what can be done in MS PowerPoint, but if Affinity does it.... will be way faster. 3- Basically a way to make fast decision tree diagrams and nodes.... Thanks! David
