Pattern preview like in Photoshop

[kirk23]

It's so much more convenient than pattern  layer in Affinity.   Best feature in Photoshop for years .   I'd love to see it in Affinity photo . Working same non-destructive way for a hole document.    

Affinity Photo already have affine  filter.   It just needs to be live as a first step.

Well, at least I figured out I can use symbols  from designer  and  a macro that  would do 8 extra copies and shift  them around  . First one up and  next ones clockwise  if selected down from the top in the layers pane.    Share them here  if anyone need it.   You  can save the symbol as an asset and then replace  the image with your own.
