When will Perspective tools be available in Affinity Designer even though they are already in Affinity Photo?

[RawPower]

I was wondering when a perspective tool might be added to Affinity Designer. I know it's available in Affinity Photo, but it would be helpful to have it available for use in Designer.

I am open to feedback on this suggestion.

Perspective and its editing/correction is specific to photos, so it is quite logical that this feature is included in the photo editing application.

If extraordinary you need to use it in another Affinity application, so it is possible to use a quick switch with "Edit in Photo ...".

I've found a lot of lack of consistency among Affinity Suite programs.

This is one of them. We still don't have Non-destructive Mesh/Perspective in Designer, but there's a Perspective Live Filter in Photo... 🤦‍♂️

Even a very basic 'destructive' vector distortion tool would be great and really should have been available years ago - still no light at the end of the tunnel

But OP requires a bitmap Perspective tool from APhoto ("I know it's available in Affinity Photo, but it would be helpful to have it available for use in Designer").
"Vector" transformation tools (such as Mesh Warp Tool) are, of course, something else, and have been required repeatedly and for a long time.

Two weeks!

Everything you need will be done in two weeks. (See The Money Pit.)

Seriously, no one can tell you 'when'. And there are already other threads about this. While we anticipate possible new features, our contribution should be well thought-out ideas about how the desired feature should work and perhaps how it could improve upon standard-fare. 'Perspective Tool' is vague because 'perspective' is a broadly generic term. Multiple treatments exist for 'perspective' drawing, some more geometrically valid than others.

The most exciting 'new wrinkle' I've seen in the 'perspective' context in a long time (since the advent of FreeHand's Perspective Grid, which was much later poorly mimicked in Illustrator) is Lazy Nezumi; a utility application that acts as an 'interface overlay' to geometrically translate your gestures to most any 2D graphics program you're using. But that's an entirely different thing from an envelope-based warping feature.
