Let's not beat around the bush here: the real problem is there's not a one-stop-shop, set-it-once-and-fuggedaboutit toggle box where you can just change the interaction model altogether – kind of like the one that allows you to switch between Ai's and Corel's selection tool paradigm – and be done with it. Now multiply layers by the dozens and objects by the thousands, and do the math. And perform extraneous mouse movements and clicks, and do constant object-dragging in the Layers palette, for every. They fall apart because then you have to repeat them with every. It doesn't work (or not without you wanting to just defenestrate your computer, that is).

I know this for a fact because I did do a lot of such projects, and I tried to recreate them on AD to the best of my ability.

And while these workarounds may work for projects with very simple artwork, like the squiggly line demo you've just shown, they immediately fall apart with multi-universal-layer documents. It's the whole going back-and-forth between being outside and inside of artboards that's the problem, because… trying to stay outside of them is “contrary” to Serif's philosophy, you are basically fighting against the application at every corner. Also, what you've just suggested, I had already figured out on my own (and some variation of it is probably described by myself somewhere on this thread, albeit without illustrations), mind you. And really convoluted, inelegant, not that flexible ones at that. Here's the issue, and if you carefully re-read what you've just wrote and even what I wrote you'll understand, because it's pretty much self-evident: iconset folders.Īnd since Affinity apps don't support the universal, Apple HIG-compliant method (or even a non-compliant contextual menu, like in Adobe apps) of right-clicking on the file name on titlebars or tab bars to locate the files on the Finder, I always have to reopen the export dialog, and sometimes even to reopen the file, just to figure out where the heck did it end up that time. Since Affinity Designer is still a bit limited for my uses but already great to do quick edits on PDFs, I've been using it a lot, along with Publisher to add vector stuff (such as signatures) and do other edits to documents exported from Word and other apps… But I also use it a lot to create macOS icons (I just hate seeing apps with non-Big Sur-looking ones, so I've been customizing the late-comers), and time and time again I end up exporting letters in. And if my nit-picky and grandiose feedback history is anything to go by, that really is saying something. Of all the minor but recurrent annoyances with Affinity apps, this seems to be the one I run into and confuse me the most.
