This is a feature request.  I would like the ability to have separate units of measure for paragraph spacing (want in inches) than I have for character font size (want in points).  I understand that the units can simply be entered into the field (25 in) even if points is selected, but that’s not ideal.  I would prefer not having to continually go into the preferences user interface and checking/unchecking the box for displaying units in points.  When I’m formatting books, I use inches for paragraph spacing, so I don’t want to see points listed there.  Of course, my font size under the Character pallet needs to stay in points.  Please add the ability to control the Character and the Paragraph pallets with different units of measure.

Hi and welcome!

Those go usually here into one of the forum sections here ...

... and in your case either for all Affinity Desktop tools, or a specific section one!

However, hopefully your request will be moved by a moderator into the right forum section then.

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

You can enter "0.25in" into the spacing box and that will be accepted.

Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
