Any chance of: 1.) Stroke width not being behind a menu? The width slider can just be there on the screen all the time. 2.) Stroke color - why can't this be accessed via the color picker? How about something like right-mouse dragging over the color picker to set stroke color? Or even a hotkey-mouse combo for stroke width. Or letting those objects be part of the screen customization. I know these seem like little things, but most times when I'm working on something I find the stroke details to be a constant irritation. Stroke: Instead of this: How about this where the slider is always visible: Color picker for stroke:

To flip your canvas - won't flip horizontal / vertical or rotate 90° work for you? I've got rotate 90 hotkeyed which works quite nice.

That helps, but how to invert the vector mask layer? In the example below I want to use the mask to create a round hole in the green layer, but the mask isn't working like that and there's no way to invert it (presumably because its using opacity rather than 0-1 white black.)

If I'm using a shape (circle, pen tool etc.) as a mask, why can't the mask be inverted or its color value changed? It's either on or off, you can't change the fill color to 50% grey for example. You can't invert it. Doesn't matter what color the fill on the shape is, it always creates the same mask. White fill. Black fill. Both create the same mask. (I don't want to rasterize the shape...I want to keep the shape as a way of being able to manipulate the mask)

Rasterised later, select a region to cut...paste onto a new later and there's a white border where the pixel selection was. Why? At certain zoom levels it disappears, and it doesn't actually export as part of the image, but it's really distracting seeing that in the canvas.

Yeah cool that's it. Thanks.

Every now & then when I'm changing brush size using the hotkeys + mouse it'll change to this and get stuck like that. Not sure why it does that or how to revert to changing brush size again. Have to exit Affinity each time it happens. How do I avoid it going into this mode - all I want is to keep it changing brush size.

Another quick example of Refine not working great. Starting with this image: Selection brush gives me this: So I go into refine, do the thing... And I'm left with a mess... And this is why I never use refine. Because it almost always frustrates me with the result and I end up doing it manually. Am I missing something obvious here in the Refine settings?

Please can you change it so that when I click ''SWAP'', the labels After & Before also change. Also I've got no idea why you put After on the left and Before on the right - it's so counter-intuitive that way. I'd like Before on the left and After on the right, and even though I can achieve that with the SWAP button, the labels don't change.

Please could you consider adding an eyedropper tool and access to a different color picker? It's so arbitrary how Recolor can't grab colors from elsewhere and how it uses it's own color slider instead of the default color picker I'm using. I'm often using Recolor to get a layer to match the color of something else in the workspace and it's wierd how I have to eyeball the color I'm aiming at instead of just being able to pick it.

Same. I like the idea of a refinement tool - but it's not nearly consistent enough, it almost always produces undesirable results for me.

Can you maybe post an example picture?

Bumping this. Is there a way to disable the toggle / cycling behavior? I want B to be for Paintbrush and nothing else but it keeps cycling to another tool. Edit: Found it :). https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/81249-solved-option-to-disable-returning-to-previous-tool-than-pressing-on-tool-key-second-time-there-is-already-such-option/

Affinity Photo 1.7.2.471 Previous versions allowed adjusting font stroke width. Can't find that option anymore. Am I missing something?
