I'm pretty sure that Macromedia and Freehand also saw a bright future on the horizon... So yeah, a subscription based V3 is just around the corner.

@Patrick Connor @Ash Can you say something about, why you have raised the euro price drastically compared to the pound price? I still don't get it - a year ago it was practically identical and the exchange rate is more or less the same. I bought my six Affinity licences from the Affinity store... so there are no Apple €/$ price tiers.

The UK price included taxes and is GBP 89.99 - around 103 €. We have to pay 119,99 €.

Yes. The app bundle, too. Affinity Photo V1: € 49.99 -> € 54.99 -> € 64.99

48.99 GBP = 55.61 EUR -> MSRP 54.99 EUR 59.99 GBP = 68.07 EUR -> MSRP 84.99 EUR

Nope - They just drastically increase the euro price without touching USD/GBP prices in relation. From the old Photo 1.5 video:

I wouldn't call it "big features" to get absolut basic functions that should have been included in the 1.7 launch version. I started with InDesign CS2 from 2005 - I don't know a dtp world without "save as package" or templates. Maybe my expectations were too high for Publisher's release und now I'm disappointed to pay again for more basic features like span columns or global layers they are still not present.

Designer was a 7 year version cycle... Publisher was launched in June '19 as 1.7 and got to 1.10 in August '21 and still lacks of essential features for magazine production. Most of Publisher's updates were just bug fixing in the past.

I may have mentioned that topic a few times in the past... But you talk about new features in V2... Well, it's still not gonna work. To get [ or ] you have to press ALT GR + 8 oder ALT GR + 9. It's simply not possible to use the keybindings as it is intended. You have to change it to "Ö" and "Ä" like bad boy Adobe did it.

Yep... I did it, too. A year ago... Nothing has changed...

Thanks god, I'm not the only one. This. First I think this behavior is a bug in Publisher, not a feature. It makes no sense at all.

Well, while the missing parts are translated now some things hasn't change in 1.7.1 Ther are still the Mac modifier keys, the inconsistent syntax (Strg+ 2, Strg +3 etc, but Strg0, Strg1), Missing space characters (Strg+ vs. Strg +) and the broken keyboard shortcuts (Strg + > and Strg + < etc)

Inconsistency: it has to be 12,5 – not 12.5

My favorite topic, keyboard shortcuts - now Mac OSX edition. ;) Comma and semicolon are on the same button... so "Show Guides" does not work and open "Preferences". "Show Grid" (cmd + ') does nothing. Angle brackets are one the same button. So cmd + > and cmd + < are basically the same. ;) Right and left square bracket: ALT + 5 = [ ALT + 6 = ] There is no way to get square brackets to work as a keyboard shortcut.
