[multiple issues..] I still love Affinity Suite 2, but ugh... the issues

 I still love Affinity Suite 2, but ugh... the issues

1. FOUND IN:  Designer, Publisher, maybe in Photo as well.
the border around artboards/palettes/canvases/whatever you call it..
THIS DRIVES ME INSANE AS I NEVER KNOW IF the edge is showing an error from my work or the program is just not fully thought through...
NO BORDERS! EVER!

Screenshot showing the PS grid..   ..

a zoom-in  in Aff Designer2/Publisher2.. notice there's no stupid border ?!



2. FOUND IN:  Designer, Publisher, maybe in Photo as well.
A. moving layers around with artboards being used.. the layers jump up and down the layer stack  and become auto grouped and or placed into artboards.   JUST STOP IT !
B. When moving multiple layers up and down in the layer panel using a mouse.. ,  ..there's too many issues to report this is excessively bugged.

3. Exporting  from the programs
Let us turn off the Export-panels' rendering preview!!!!!
I have huge EPS exports that cause my system to hang from your bad decisions!
Let us turn off the preview



I'd add more, but I doubt you'll even care about these.

@.eb as @MEB outlines in this post

"In Designer, that line indicates the canvas or artboard (in artboard based documents) limits and is always visible so you can see where the page/artboard ends and the pasteboard (the area around the canvas /artboard) starts. In non-artboard based documents you can "enable" the pasteboard area going to menu View > View Mode and unticking Clip to Canvas.
In Affinity Photo there's no pasteboard area, these lines which may appear in one or various sides (and vary with zoom level) are a side effect of how we render the document on screen - they don't affect the exported files."

In reference to the layers issue, do you have a screen recording thats shows the issue?

Changes to the Export window have been discussed and may be something that's updated in a future update/version.

Hi Lee. Thanks for the reply. I was frustrated and I am glad you didn't take it personally.
As for that post referenced.. all I get from that is that people are telling Affinity that we don't like the forced border and Affinity is replying with; MLEH.

We just don't want a forced border. Any veteran/skilled dev will agree.  -> Non-optional borders on critical UI is a persistent harsh irk.
What if the border color(RGBA/Alpha is the point there) was configurable (globally) ?  

• As for the layers issue, I made a note to make a video to send in to Affinity.  (I was under a rush so I had no time that day.)
There's people talking about some of the issues somewhere.. I forget where at the moment.  Here or Reddit.

• Changes to Export window : Good to know.

Thx Lee.
