There are so many posts that Affinity thumbnails are not there if stored in OneDrive and viewed in File Explorer in Windows that is is incredible. So many people have this problem. Affinity is blaming Microsoft ("they should allow the thumbnails in OneDrive app"). Microsoft is blaming Affinity (yes, there is a post somewhere where the technical support of Microsoft states something similar to "Afinity should get compatible with some thing that creates the icons in a certain way"). But really, to wait for Microsoft could take another 30 years, there is no point. Affinity should push to find a workaround. There are small 3rd party apps enabling SVG or PSD thumbnails, something like this could be done with Affinity files. It just would be good for Affinity/Canva/developers not to be defetist, pesimistic, give up but try to find a way. After all, it is a serious problem hindering any professional work. How do we want to get more professionals on board if basics do not work? If I am an amateur with 5 files to edit, no problem for me. If I am a professional with 1000s of files that have to be backed up (in OneDrive for example), it begins to be unusable because of this one "detail" which is not detail at all if you work at scale!

This registry edit does not work on the newest version. First, the path does not exist any more. It seems that the new path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Affinity\Photo 2. Secondly, what should the registry key name should be? "No Update Check" or No Update Check? Both do not work anyways. Is there a new way how to achieve disabling the update window?

Dear Gabe, OK thank you! Btw, is there any other way to blur or feather a mask like this?

Steps to reproduce: 1) open a photo 2) add a mask layer - works 3) paint on the mask layer with any brush with black/white - works 4) (Let us say you want to blur the shapes of the mask you made.) Add Fx to the mask layer, like gaussian blur - does not work. There is no effect on the mask.

Dear Paul, thank you, yes I have been using your macros V3 for some time now and it is very useful! If you could add painting a pen stroke with a selected brush, that would be super useful, too. But if in the future there will be the smooth StudioLink on iPad with the whole trinity, that will be just amazing. I like what is Serif doing more and more.

Hi, thanks, I have now seen some videos showcasing the StudioLink, very impressive!

As a professional graphic designer who seeks to replace Photoshop and Illustrator by Photo and Designer, I would have these humble suggestions what to add to Affinity Photo for iPad: Possibility to switch off spellcheck in global settings. It is annoying to switch it off in the Text Studio every time after opening a file. Select all visible pixels of a layer by one click. Text on a path (so we can make a curved text). Paint a pen stroke with a selected brush. More filters (like image to sketch etc.). I know some of these features were allready rejected to add by the developer because they have said, Affinity Photo is just for editing photos and we should use Affinity Designer for design. Dear developer, please, reconsider this. I have, and I believe many others these days, been using Affinity Photo as a replacement for Photoshop (and Designer as a replacement for Illustrator). If we want to make a design primarily based on raster graphic, or prefer this way of work more, we go to Photo and make the design there. If we want to make something typically vector, like logos, we go to Designer. You do not need to be afraid that we will not use Designer because we would make everything in Photo. We just need a raster focused tool with also vector tools (Photo) and vector focused tool with raster tools (Designer). In other words, replace Photoshop and Illustrator, that is it. If you want to win us, please, reconsider viewing Affinity Photo as just a better photo editing tool. Also please consider, that we are already using some of these features in Affinity photo by means of macros. There is a famous set called "Mud's Macros v3" including e.g. Slection from Layer, Pencil Sketch filter and Text on a Curve. Hopefully this will be understood by the developers. I should also say that you did already a great job!
