Affinity Designer selection bug/feature request

[Berbank]

Hello,

 

I'm having some issues with selection using Affinity Designer. I may be using it incorrectly.

 

I have a group with a number of layers and I want to select all the nodes in the group. At the moment I could do this by selecting the group, then opening the group and manually selecting every layer and using the node tool. Which is fine but seems a bit inefficient and a waste of time.

 

If I select the object using the move tool, I can't then marquee select sub layers. I have to shift click and when there are a lot of objects this is impractical.

 

Is there a faster way to do this? If not, could there be a an option on the layer context menu to select the layer and all the sublayers? Or, even better, a a marquee select for within selected groups?

In Affinity Designer on Windows 1.5 beta, I can choose the Node Tool, expand a group in the Layers panel, click on the first object in the group and then Shift-click on the last object to reveal all of the nodes in the objects that comprise the group. I can then press Ctrl+A to select all of those nodes (without any other objects in the drawing also becoming selected).
