Bug “apply image” used in a macro

[erdi12]

If the “Apply image” filter is recorded in a macro and as source a layer the opened image is used, the pixel 
of the layer were recorded and used as the source when the macro is played back. 
The layer is saved when the marco is recorded. I expected that the relative position of the layer 
will be used as the source from the open document, corresponding to the document when the macro was recorded,
it is reproduceable on new documents.

That is common with macro processoing in Affinity Photo, and affects many areas. Often, an operation will remember and record the result, and use that when the macro is run in the future.

For example, start with this file, and create a macro that selects the top layer, does a Copy, and a Paste:

If you run it, you will get this:

 

Now start with this file instead:

 

Run the macro, and you will get this:

And that is exactly the problem and not a feature.

Yes, but there are already Feature Requests to improve macro processing.
