Hi @marciomendonsa,
Please see the FAQ below for a full list of where the resource files/preference file locations (Including the MS Store).
If you did originally purchase the apps from the MS store and you registered them against an Affinity ID, you can log in on the Affinity store and download the alternative versions (MSIX which is essentially the same as MS store, and the .EXE/MSI installer files similar to V1) so you're not just limited to downloading via the MS store.

When Will AP haver AI todos?

Uncheck the Wet Edges.

Hi @marciomendonsa Sorry for the delay, we're very busy at the moment.
This post from our MD Ash should hopefully answer your questions regarding app updates.
 

Dude, it worked!!!!   thank you!!!!

Insert C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.0.0.1640_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App\Photo.exe where shown.

Where in darktable are you configuring this? I've looked through preferences but didn't see it. I've not tried to configure my darktable yet and would like to try (4.1 dev nightly). I don't typically pass files back and forth but would like to see if I can configure it.
Confirm your Photo exe is in the same location via this procedure: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/170526-file-path-for-affinity-photo-start-exe-file/&do=findComment&comment=978644   So far the examples I've seen in the forum here have been the same, but just sayin' ...
Also, just an idea... but you might (?) need to paste the entire path/exe line into the Name field of the Explorer window. If there are any spaces in the path, quote the entire line.

Try C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.0.0.1640_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App\Photo.exe
It worked for me with FastStone, unknown whether it'll work across the board. Results have been mixed on the forum.

Dear, good morning. Yesterday I installed my new version of affinity photo (version 2) via the Microsoft Store.
Now I can no longer use it as an external editor in Darktable since I no longer have the path for the application executable.
 
 In my previous version, 1.10, acquired on the Affinity website, did not have this problem since the executable is in 😄 \ program files \ Affinity \ Photo \ 1.0
After a lot of struggle find a zero-size Affinity Photo (AffinityPhoto2.exe) executable in 😄 \ Users \ Marcio \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ WindowsApps. However, the application (Darktable) is unable to access it.
 
With version 1.10, acquired on the Affinity website, everything worked well.

Hey! Great, Alfred!!! Thank you so much!

Switch off the Wet Edges option (“Arestas molhadas”).

Just because...

The last real update has been a long time and the only updates made are fixes. When will we get a real update on Affinity Designer, Photo and Publish?

Lucky man. The files are quite large, and 100% cpu util is the target, not a bug.
An app capable to fully utilize all cores is the best you can get - if it does some useful task.
otherwise you could wait 8x the time with 12.5% utilization.
only if the cpu goes crazy without doing anything useful it is a problem.
the only think to check is edit >preferences >performance. Coul you upload a screenshot?
If possible, activate hardware acceleration there and check again.

Hey, James !!
Thanks a lot for the help!

Hi @marciomendonsa,
Can you go into Preferences for Affinity Photo and on the Tools section you have an option for Tablet Input method, what is that currently to?  Also can you try the different options in that Drop down and see if one of the other options improves things  

(Affinity Photo) Restore the active selector to the default (black / white).
Dear, studying the AP shortcut keys, I found that the 'X' shortcut key toggles between the primary and secondary colors set in the active selector. It turns out that during the editing of the images the black and white colors are very used for masks and the like. Is there a shortcut key that makes the active selector go straight to the black and white colors?
In Gimp, the behavior is similar. The 'X' shortcut key does change between colors, but there is also the 'D' shortcut key that makes the active selector go to its default, black and white.
 
Thank you all.

Hi all, to accompany the 1.8 updates for the Affinity apps, I'm going to be releasing one tutorial video a day on YouTube—all videos are already available on the website here: https://affinity.serif.com/tutorials/photo/desktop
I'll be updating this thread for every new video released. Hope you find them useful! Here's the first:
PSD smart object import

There isn't really an answer, as long as it's meets the minimum spec, which it does the apps will run. Performance is difficult to advise on as each system is different in terms of hardware and software. Just ensure you have the latest graphics drivers installed and the system is up to date on Windows updates and you should be fine.
Our developers have just added initial support for hardware acceleration (needs to be enabled in Preferences > Performance, "Enable OpenCL compute acceleration") in our 1.9 (1.9.0.733) beta of Affinity Photo for Windows. As well as a benchmark feature to show results for vector and raster modes. These are still in early development and will continue to be worked on throughout the 1.9 beta phase. The betas versions are available for existing users of Affinity apps and are installed alongside the existing version for testing.

There are...
Layer > Show
Layer > Hide
commands, which you can add your own shortcuts to.

There is no way to this. I am fairly certain that It has been requested.
EDIT: I am shown to be wrong.
