That's how I see it:

Thanks for providing that for me! My apologies as your understanding is correct, for strokes in the 'middle' of the appearance stack, neither behind/in front options are required, therefore neither are selected and this is expected behaviour.
Just to confirm, the file you have provided, does this show the same Stroke/Appearance error for you? As opening this file here shows the same values for me in both locations.

still no news on any updates or betas?

Hi @Alex de Kyburg,
No, the closest thing you have is the Smooth button in the context toolbar for the Node Tool. The first passage/click removes coincident or collinear nodes if there's any, then further clicks will refit the line adding or removing nodes as necessary, so not exactly simplifying (reducing nodes/complexity).

Noticed that, yes. Too bad there ain't some shape analysis allowing to keep the designed curves as is, by acting on the nodes characteristics... But, of course, I guess this is just an idealistic dream. 😇

It would be great to be able to manually reorder Symbols.
Right now, I can't change their order, which, when working with a lot of Symbols, gets confusing fast.
Maybe even different options would be useful:
- Order manually
- Order by name
- Order by layer depth
- Order by time created (right now, default and, in my opinion, least useful)

Still an issue as of 2 years later, but another workaround is to click the symbol, click the symbol tab, click the Sync button to unsync the symbol, and then you can hide it. But you won't be able to resync the hide/unhide after that.

This appears to still be an issue. When I hide an instance of a symbol, all instances are hidden.

Hello? I also very much want this feature. While I do have the desktop version (and the other affinity properties, photo and publisher) I spend the vast majority of my time on my iPad. I’m super glad to have an option that isn’t Adobe, at the same time, having features like uploading palettes is pretty important too. A little help here please.

2022 and this feature to import swatches to the ipad version still isn’t available? I had to save the various color palettes I have to a document from my Mac affinity designer but then when i bring it to the ipad i see the palettes in that document but if i want it in the application I have to use all the colors individual to recreate the palettes shm when will a simple import function be available??? This thread was started in 2018 and we are going on to 2023…

Affinity Designer on iPad is super useful but its kinda cray this feature still isn't in there, just sayin

Hi @transitdiagrams/Chris,
Thanks for your report!
I suspect this is due to your Decimal Places for Unit Types setting in Preferences, if you navigate to Affinity Designer > Preferences > User Interface you can set the number of decimals for each unit type.
However I believe the Appearance Studio should also be using the User Interface setting and is expected to report with 1 decimal place (when 1 is used in User Interface), and that's the behaviour I'm seeing currently on macOS and Windows -

This continued to work as expected, even when setting my macOS & Affinity app to German, so that commas were used as the decimal separator, therefore I'm unable to replicate this currently.
I can also see in your screenshot that neither 'Draw stroke behind' or 'Draw stroke in front' is selected in the stroke panel, which is also unexpected and something I've not seen before.
Are you able to provide a sample .afdesign file which shows this issue please?
Many thanks in advance  

Hi @Willy Pimentel, @ThierryMbp15,
Thanks for your report. I confirm the app is indeed crashing in Ventura when opening a PDF (and .Ai as well). I'm checking if we already have this logged and will do so in case it's not.

macOS Ventura is not officially supported at this point.

No
No
IT still does everything you bought it for.
Bye, if you are going, it's a shame as there is a lot more to come from the Affinity range. We have not given up we are just developing some bigger stuff

Seconded. This just threw a wrench into a document I’m workin on today.  
Is this still not possible?

I was so happy to discovered Designer handle Symbol and then so sad to discovered it is missing swapping. 
 
I am creating a card game with many instances of the same symbol on each cards and I was hopping to create my deck in a sec. I’ll switch back to Adobe Illustrator for this one.

This is ridiculous. RULERS!

😅 This is reminding me of vectornator when they allowed you to change your preferences to your liking but when you started a new document you had to change all your preferences all over again.  It was SO annoying!             

This is really annoying. Same goes for the Node Tool settings at the bottom.  Why are they reset whenever you re-open the document?  Did some actually say it's a better idea to do that and everyone agreed?  Who wouldn't expect to have the same settings kept as they were whenever they re-opened their documents?

I find it also annoying that you always have to turn on the grid manually whenever re-entering a document. Also an icon for the grid would be a nice to have, maybe combined with the snapping tool in the left bottom corner toolbar.

Thanks 😃 I am pretty sure they are working in the background. I was just wondering as normally Serif is "louder".

Our developers are still working away in the background as explained here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/158382-when-will-the-next-beta-version-be-released/page/2/#comments
 

at the moment nothing seems to be happening for any Affinity app... I am wondering why?

any news?
