Hey,
I recently found out about Affinity Designer and I'm already in love with it. The snapping features are exceptional.
But I got one request. I frequently need to align shapes by positioning one anchor over another. If the objects are just lying around, this works great: I select all shapes, switch to the node-tool, re-select all nodes and drag the node I want to align.
If the objects I want to align are grouped, I have to doubleclick the group, select all grouped shapes one by one, switch to the node tool and proceed as mentioned.
The problem is, that since there is no isolation mode, you have to select grouped shapes individually instead of just rectangle-select them.
There are two possible fixes:
1) Selecting the node-tool while having a group selected will keep all grouped objects selected.
2) Having an isolation-mode for allowing quick re-selection of the grouped shapes.
Is there anything planned?
