I am still having regular issues with boolean operations.I know this has been reported before but it's driving me insane, especially as it's a fundamental issue that's been happening for months. This is just one example of many similar issues I've had with boolean adds/subtracts/intersections. In this file I'm trying to perform a boolean add on two curves. No matter the position in the layer tree or the order I select the two curves I get strange issues and, as far as I can tell, the only workaround is to delete nodes until there is no longer a failure and then manually recreate the missing profiles. I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 (20H2) and Designer (1.8.5.703) but this has been a problem for some time and a full PC format and OS install hasn't made any noticable difference. This sort of problem happens with new files. I'm not sure I've seen it with existing files but I haven't made any particular effort to recreate the issues with older files. Given that I've seen problems and bug reports for boolean issues for many months I've stopped recommending Designer over other products and I'm getting to the point where I'm going to end up ditching the product, which is great shame because, in general, it is a program I love and have been delighted with. Unfortunately since v1.7 I just keep seeing major bugs with basic functionality and they don't seem to have been addressed with any success. Can you give me any hope that these sort of critical bugs will be fixed soon? Boolean_Add_Issues.mp4 Justice Hammer - PROBLEM.afdesign

Hello to all Affinities, my first message as an old reader of the forum. And as often said: "I like the Affinity-Software, but …" I am a little bit annoyed, that the boolean-operations still are very messy and unpredictable. I think, these are basic-funtions but there are very little improvements over the years. As you can see: the trapezoid shape combines inaccurate and the round shape combines in no way and disappears at last. Funny. I will gladly pay my amount for a more useful 2.0 version of your software. Please apologize my limited english. Best wishes from Munich, Germany and stay healthy imac 27- 2017, 32 gb RAM, MacOs Mojave Affinity4.mp4
