Affinity Photo V2 manual outdated - controlling automatic selection behavior


Recommended Posts

Hi there

My apologies if this is not a 'bug' but I thought it was better here than a feature request.
 

Issue
I am following the latest online V2 user manual for Affinity Photo V2 (I have latest version installed on Mac).

Manual -> Selecting
Direct link: https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/LayerOperations/select.html

The manual states:


To control automatic selection behavior:

  • On the Move Tool's context toolbar, choose one of the following options. These let you optionally select only layers or groups on the page, or just from the Layers panel (on-page selection is prevented).

    • On (default)—objects and groups can be selected on the page or Layers panel.

    • Off—objects and groups can be selected from the Layers panel only.

    • Layers—only layers can be selected on the page, while grouped items will be selected as if ungrouped; both groups and layers can be selected from Layers panel.

    • Groups—only groups can be selected on the page; both groups and layers can be selected from Layers panel.


It looks like the software has been updated and it is not reflected in the current manual: there is now an auto select checkbox and a dropdown (default/layers/groups).

 

Thanks
