Hi guys at Affinity

The title is "nomen est omen", just for proof and visualise what I did, please check the video, Metadata is not exported with Slices of Export Persona, even if this is checked:

Hi @Pšenda, thanks for the hint. I never check this myself. Why should I? The checkbox describes the intention very clearly. - Well, good to know, it's flip-flopping into the opposite of that what's ones intention to achieve by ticking that checkbox is. A typical example of a 100% contradiction 😜

For the convenience to all other occasional readers of this post: If the page instead of slice is checked, it turns into a "...will be..." - to me not logical. More like "Fascinating" 🖖

The insertion of metadata depends on the exported object.
If it is the whole/original image, then the metadata is inserted. If it is only a part/slice, then the metadata is not inserted.

It could certainly be made clearer - for example, enable the checkbox only for the whole/original image, which allows the insertion of metadata, and disable checkbox for slices, that do not allow the insertion of metadata anyway.
Alternatively, at least change the color of the Info icon depending on whether the metadata is inserted or not.

Yes, exactly, it is like it is. However, to me it makes no sense to differ. I want my metadata also in the exported slices. The checkbox status is saved like set to each slice. So, it makes no sense doubled how it is handled currently.
