It is, indeed. Current layer system is basically an "object" system. I know the thread and posts in it are log, but it's worth reading and understanding. Not at all. Not even a bit. The issue is way deeper than that. Basically, for simple, one page scenarios the current system is ok. Once you're doing something more complex, you're lost in layers and have to move/order every layer all the time inside the layers panel. Also, layers are currently working only for a single artboard (or page in Publisher) while they should be working globally. So you could be able to have say German and English text layers globally for the whole document and switch between language versions just by hiding irrelevant language layers. You can't do that currently without creating separate language layers in each artboard/page instead of showing/hiding a global layer across all the artboards/pages which is time consuming and error prone. Having separate documents for each language variant and constantly applying changes in each of them would be irrational, you would certainly introduce errors and the work would be a bit too complicated. Currently you have to constantly keep an eye on the hierarchy and layer order all the time to avoid getting lost. Instead of designing you should focus on, you have to manage your project's layers all the time.

@ChrisSmere @walt.farrell @Pattou I think @JGD was quite clear about the universal layer concept in its own thread, so I'm linking it:

Again, I have to agree. The model Affinity currently employs is "closed box thinking" system while designers tend to think "outside the box". Affinity users are sadly forced to be limited and work inside the box with the current Affinity workflow, which goes completely against the basic design principles. Look at Designer in example - how come you cannot see/view the bleed area when you're working with multiple artboards? How can you design something when you can't see part of the artwork, that despite being cut off at the later stages is necessary to have a complete picture of the design you're working on? Where is WYSIWYG there? Why is Designer obfuscating your work? What's the logic in that? Who made this very design decision? Why was it never reconsidered? It does not make sense at all...

My bad, you're correct. However, when you downsize an image to 56 pixels wide, it's really natural for it to be pixelated.

@MichaelMeeuwissen Of course images become pixelated, since you're resizing them there to sizes like 56 x 42 pixels. You might want to resample them instead (via Document > Resize document menu). Also notice it's a pixel layer, not an image layer - thus the way you're resizing them is destructive.

@tiborsanta1955 That's natural behavior, the letter is displayed so you can set the font size, then it disappears and you should add your own text at this point.

IIRC it's just Invision Board message just showing how much free space is left for attachments.

@oliiix Official download pages for Photo, Designer and Publisher (Windows) allow you to download some older versions of the apps directly I believe. Go check the links out.

User @gabriel_komorov shared his little Windows .bat file that does all what you're requesting, I believe.

Hi @eobet Sadly nope, in Designer, they don't exist at all

You can easily change the default 1 decimal increment to any value you like in the Preferences > User Interface in all three apps

You're welcome. And also thanks.

Hi Serif, it looks like the issue I reported back in March was fixed just partially. The same issue occurs when trying to zoom when using the Mesh Warp Tool - see the screencast below. Thanks for a fix in advance.

10 days to taste this kinda cake isn't enough to find weak spots at all. You would have to dedicate your whole time to find out most of such bugs (especially this one), run dozens and dozens of scenarios... Research the forums? Not everyone is skilled enough to be able to explain his frustrations or issues. Many of Affinity users are unable to speak English. Many are shy to even attempt. It's not as simple as you paint it here...

@PJA11 well, you have to create a new document or open an existing one first - then you can use those menu options and switch personas as well

You can install El Capitan into a Virutal Machine on Mojave and run Acrobat 9/X (or any other such important apps) from there. I'm doing so with my Adobe CS 6.5, it's a bit slower, obviously, since you run two OS' at once, one virtualized, but better than nothing.

Well, as far as I know there's no way of changing the increment. Feel free to add a feature request, I also believe it would be good to be able to change this.

Oh yes, you didn't say what platform you're on, I assumed Windows. On Mac, it's CMD+ALT+Up/Down arrows indeed

Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down arrow No setting of the increments anywhere though, afaik

I would also add a reverse path feature (helps when boolean operations are failing).

Btw you can easily use forum's ignore feature and won't see my (or Jowday's or JGD's, make your pick) repetitive posts ever again. It's there exactly for that purpose. 

Indeed and I don't think there's anything wrong about that. Btw you can easily use forum's ignore feature and won't see my (or Jowday's or JGD's, make your pick) repetitive posts ever again. It's there exactly for that purpose.

I stand corrected, sorry for misinterpreting your words. I believe he was just being sarcastic. Well, after 5 years of patient waiting, who wouldn't be? Politics has nothing to do with business, this is clear business and humour. I'm not. I'm still locked in the Adobe ecosystem. I wanted to leave it, and Serif seemed to be helping. But it's sadly not... Since I can't rely on Affinity Suite, I'm mostly avoiding it. Getting back to it after each update to find out if it's already useable for me or not. Expand Stroke doesn't need work. It need to be completely rebuilt. Why I keep complaining? Because I was sold a most precise vector design tool available (and Designer isn't that tool). Until it does what it was sold as, I have complete right to complain. Or should I remain silent for next five years? Hey, but fanboys clapping their hands how awesome the tool is, that' ok, amiright? Those don't bother you, you donesn't seem to complain about those. But it's the very same song, mate.

I haven't noticed a single insult here, you seem to be a bit oversensitive, don't you think? Well, I'm a frustrated user who paid for "professional and most precise vector drawing tool" and that is clearly not true (now for years). Please, stop with euphemisms, Expand Stroke's current state isn't unfortunate. It's catastrophic. And it's not just current state, it's been like that for years and sadly, it wasn't Serif's priority to fix this. Instead, we got arrowheads and isometric drawing. How often will people use those compared to expand stroke? It's like the second most discussed feature on the forums. And I'm really happy that the dev is currently working on it. I hope he's gonna manage to fix it along with some other frustrating bugs. Please, begin to understand that when basic features are not working as expected (for years), blast of semi-useful features added in to market and sell the app to more people won't help the current userbase and will push unsatisfied people to voice their opinions. And they are entitled to do so. Not everyone is an uncritical fanboy. Some of us need to work, to rely on the tools we use. Honestly - every time there's an update, I'm happy - hoping that most of the annoying bugs will be fixed. Instead, I get another bunch of regressions or new bugs. It even seems that there are no testers in Serif. Fyi, this is how was AD marketed to me:

Come on, this is a known issue for years... For years, indeed.
