    Chul reacted to Patrick Connor in Affinity Publisher 2 for Windows - (2.2.1)   
    We are pleased to announce an update for the Windows release of Affinity Publisher 2, version 2.2.1
    This build is available as a (sandboxed) MSIX application installer and as an (unsandboxed) MSI/EXE traditional installer.
    Please see this FAQ thread for instructions on how to access the unsandboxed MSI/EXE version.
    The changes in Affinity Publisher 2 for Windows 2.2.1 (made since the last release Affinity Publisher 2 for Windows 2.2.0) are listed in this FAQ forum post:
    To get notified when any new releases are made please follow the latest releases thread by clicking here
    UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (free for existing customers)
    The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in Help > About Affinity Publisher ). 
    If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store — each time you start the Affinity Store software it will check for updates and offer any available update. The Windows builds only automatically checks once per day. In the Help menu there is a manual "Check for Updates". The latest update will install over the top of any earlier version, with no need to uninstall. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "Download" button in there. Alternatively, this new release (and previous versions of Affinity Publisher for Windows) can be downloaded from this link (those installers are NOT for customers who made Microsoft Store purchases).
    If you've purchased from the Microsoft Store — Microsoft Store updates are done automatically by the operating system (each time you start the application). If this does not happen for you, open the Windows Store app and click the three dots in the top right corner of the app and then go to Downloads and Updates. Click Get Updates. This should hopefully force the update to show.

    Chul reacted to Return in We are live, and thank you!!!   
    Maybe because what get's released is so underwhelming and decades behind compared to other software and not thoroughly tested by real users.
    That's why it is never going to be what those users expected and that's why they are pushing.
    Don't come with that same old same old argument its a small team adage because that is really getting stale.
    There are numerous smaller, even one person, developer teams that get things done for multiple OS's.

    I do not know if the subject will come up in the search function, but this topic of 'road maps/feature plan' has been explained and discussed by the forum moderators 'ad nauseam'.  Why worry about v3 when v2 is currently being developed, improved and released?  Lets give the developers a break.

    Hi All,
    We have just made 2.2 live across all App Stores and our website. As always, the feedback we have received from you all during this beta has been an incredible help in both shaping the new features as well as squashing many bugs!
    The build we have released is the same as RC3 (build 2005), meaning for the time being whether you use the latest beta version or switch to using the release version they are the same. If you anticipate taking part in the next beta you may wish to keep your current beta version installed, as this will be updated on auto update when a new beta is available. This will either be a 2.2 patch if we feel one is needed, or moving straight onto a 2.3 beta.
    It would be impossible for us to do what we do without your support, and I just wanted to say a huge thanks for everything you have contributed to this release.
    All the best,
    Ash

    Every artist I know and follow is ardently against generative AI. There are serious ethical concerns in how Adobe and others have obtained the data, as well as legal ambiguity that leans toward being unable to copyright the resulting images.
     
    It's gotten to the point that digital artists who grew up on Adobe products are boycotting them completely now. And a lot of those artists are picking up Serif's products to fill that hole. I've personally been recommending the products solely because they don't support AI image generators. This is a serious issue for creatives and it absolutely drives the decision to purchase Serif's products.
     
    Even ignoring the Ethical and potential legal issues, it just makes sense for Serif to differentiate itself from the competition hy giving artists what they want-- a program that doesn't actively promote theft.
     
    All the crypto/nft/AI grifters can get their  image generators elsewhere. Please keep it away from one of the few good alternatives to Adobe.

    This thread is old, but in case anyone still using AD v1 wants to duplicate a lost brush, I found that is it paint with a different brush, and then copy a line previously drawn and paste its style on the new line (Edit | Paste Style), it changes to the lost brush.

    Yesterday, 2nd Aug 2023, we accidentally released the 2.2 beta release to retail users on Windows, which prompted users to download and install the 2.2 update. We have since removed the update.

    If you've installed this update, please remove this version and redownload 2.1.1 from our website here. Please note any files edited and saved in 2.2 will not reopen in 2.1.1. If you do not have a back up of the file, you can signup for the beta version here.
    If you're being prompted to download the update and getting an error, please follow these instructions to stop the message from appearing.
    I know this will have caused some confusion and will be incredibly frustrating for affected users but our QA team are currently investigating.

    This post is designed to be an aid to knowing if you are using the latest version of Affinity Version 2 applications on your platform.  The thread is now locked so if you "follow" it you will know then we release a new version on any platform. Version numbers are displayed on the About dialog (or preferences in iPad builds)
    NOTE: I will update/edit this first post as new releases are added.

    If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer to download and install any available update. For the macOS release, in the application main menu there is an option "Check for Updates". Alternatively, you can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "download" button in there. Updates are installed automatically (or manually by installing the new version over the old) Previous builds do not need uninstalling first. New installations of paid software downloaded from the Affinity Store requires LICENSE ACTIVATION to use.
    Software downloaded from the Mac App Store, Microsoft Store and iPad store do not require a license activation and are updated through the relevant store: 
    If you’ve purchased from the Mac App Store— updates are done automatically next time you run your software after it is available in the Mac App Store. However, you do need to be logged in with the same Apple ID you used to buy them. If this does not happen for you, open the Mac App Store app and go to the Updates page and then Store > Reload page or press CMD+R. This should hopefully force the update to show. Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world which can mean it may take up to 72 hours for your update to be available.
    If you’ve purchased from the Microsoft Store— Microsoft Store updates are done automatically by the operating system (each time you start the application). If this does not happen for you, open the Windows Store app and click the three dots in the top right corner of the app and then go to Downloads and Updates. Click Get Updates. This should hopefully force the update to show.
    If you’ve purchased from the Pad Store— Your Affinity iPad apps should update automatically next time you run them. However, you do need to be logged in with the same Apple ID you used to buy them. If the automatic update does not happen for you, go to the iPad Store app and go to Updates. Once you’re there, tap near the top of the screen where it states 'Updates' and then hold, pull down and then release. This should manually refresh the updates page. However, don’t contact us if the updates are not available for you yet—Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world and this can take up to 24 hours.

    Affinity copied the Duplicate shortcut of Command+J but not the zoom operation mechanics?
    What was the thinking behind that decision making?

    No, I'm saying that this kind of frequency of software issues shouldn't occur, ever, and if it does you should consider moving on to more reliable software. Especially for the things this lady is working on.
     
    For unexpected hardware failures and the infrequent but common crashes of software, one should backup. But the frequency with which one might consider backups for these kinds of concerns is more like daily than the "every time I save" that the OP was/is heading towards, because of the frequencies of issues she's having with the software.
     
    But I think you knew that.

    Then you DEFINITELY deserve better, the best, in fact.
    I'm not sure what that is in terms of the compromises between performance, stability and features in the desktop publishing space of today, but what you're experiencing sounds horrendous. You really do deserve to not worry about the sanctity of your creativity with media of memories.
     
    I don't trust iPhoto, or Lightroom,  having had similarly bizarre experiences with both of them on a Mac, so can't recommend either of them as a backbone for your memories prior to creative endeavours with them. Though I do love the productivity of working with Lightroom, I don't trust its archiving. 
    As for layout software... Keynote and Pages, both free for Mac, are far more powerful than people generally think of them to be, but also tedious in the extreme, and it's a bit hacky to use them beyond their intended purposes. 
    Was the older version of Affinity Publisher more stable for you?

    Haha, yes it is indeed frustrating. Thanks for understanding. I do believe that Serif offers a lot for what you pay. True, it isn't perfect. Corrupted files have left me in tears of losing precious hours of work, on a regular basis. But as a SAHM in a one income family, I appreciate what they offer.

    I'm not sure you should continue using a program that treats you and your works, and treasured memories, in this manner.
    Don't put up with it, start finding alternatives, I suggest. This isn't acceptable when there are more stable alternatives.  You shouldn't have to utilise versioning and backup systems for this kind of frequency of software issues. You deserve better!
