Artistic Text to Paragraph Text and vice versa

[Pixlers]

Adobe Photoshop has an option to convert Paragraph Text to Point Text (Artistic Text) and vice versa.

It is very useful at times.

Hope to see this feature soon on Affinity Photo! 😅

This question and request was asked several years earlier, last year:
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/80489-is-it-possible-to-convert-an-existing-artistic-text-layer-to-a-text-frame-layer / comments & tab = # comment-424239

I have the impression that Serif is not interested in this topic.

It also seems to me that in the Serif programmers group there is no person who works professionally on these Affinity programs - people who would know what really needs to be changed, improved or added to make the program really professional.
I know that programmers are working all the time, but the latest beta versions are only minimal corrections of broken things.

In my advertising and graphic company I work on Affinity programs on Windows and on Macs. The computer is on 24 hours. We design 95% on Publisher and Designer, the remaining percentage is CorelDraw, to which I have to import exported pdfs, because only CorelDraw works with machines: vinyl cutting plotter and laser plotter.
So every day, every few minutes I have to fight adversities and deficiencies of the program.

In my experience, Serif generally introduces new functions in major releases (1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, ...). Minor releases (1.8.3, 1.8.4) generally contain only bug fixes.
