Paste layer style

[Laganama]

Hi,

I have some trouble with pasting the style to objects in Affinity Designer/Publisher 1.9.3. The stroke color, width and style doesn't corespond to the source layer. I use the standard Ctrl-C > Ctrl-Shift-V method.

Shouldn't the Paste Style function works to groups as well? I mean coppying the style from single object and pasting it to the whole group. Maybe there would by some mischiefs with different types of objects containing in the group? I'm just asking.

If you ‘Paste Style’ when you have a group selected in the Layers panel, you’re pasting the style to the group instead of pasting it to the objects contained in the group. You need to expand the group in the Layers panel, click on the first object and then Shift-click on the last object so that all of the objects are selected: you should find that Paste Style now works as you expect.

I see that the probleme with pasting the style to a new object possibly occurs since the Scale with object option is checked. When unchecked, the pasted style correspond well to the source obj. I'm using Mac version of AfPub 1.9.3.

Similarly with layer Fx. The size of the effect depends on the obj. size. I would prefer to maintain the Fx settings acros multiple sizes. Maybe the Scale with object option in Fx could potentialy switch the behaviour?
