Feature Request: Wrap Text In Shape Container

[ApplicationError]

The ability to have text automatically wrap within the boundaries of a shape / close curve. 

 

I'm a ex-Photoshop and ex-Illustrator user, having switched almost entirely to Affinity Designer; big fan. Most of the time I create "infographics" to visually communicate business concepts and data points. The ability to have multi-line text automatically wrap within the boundaries of a shape would be amazing - doing this manually is a pain... and unless I'm certain I won't change the size, I avoid doing it manually.

Affinity Designer already supports this. Select your vector shape and use Layer > Convert to Text Frame. Alternatively, select it then click on it with the Frame text tool.

 

Affinity Photo doesn't have the menu option, but does have the click-with-Frame-text-tool shortcut.

This feature is not explained in the documentation, and the lack of clear commands and/or documentation costs me billable time. I have just struggled for an hour to do a very simple text wrap, and I am very angry about it. I expect better from Affinity.
