Delphi

So, moving forward with new upgrades and updates, will this be the norm, or are we going to get another surprise of only-app versions? I got a refund but will like to purchase again if I can count on this always being a Windows application, too. (I do understand that this depends on Microsoft not being so tone death as to go Apps only in the future.)

What this tells me is that this company is really not listening to their customers. I purchased the entire suite of V1 and requested as many others for WebP to be added and it was never added to the V1 applications. So I can't even say I will continue to use it because I will not, hopping to other applications to be able to use simple features like that is not what I want to do. I may as well continue using the applications that provide me with everything I need. I still wanted to support them and went in blind and purchased the V2 apps (unknowingly) because they finally added WebP. I want the application I am going to finally settle on to come from a company that will also listen to its customers and provide them with all the tools they need and requested along the way. I know many requests will not be able to be added as it depends on many factors, but adding a file format, as WebP, is not one of those cases.

Why should I spoon feed this info when it is all over this thread or have to explain why I need this to be a regular application? I have no beef with you, but you need to understand people have long standing workflows that this breaks.

I decided to do these steps and I got a shortcut on the desktop with the ico, but when I right click on the shortcut to bring-up the properties to see where the ico for it is located there is no way to do that! I can do that with the shortcut I created. So, seems the way I did is superior.

So I should have known all of that and then lets forget about all the other issues this is bringing to customers and their workflow as explained here ad nauseum. You just decided to skip over all of that.

Wow, this forum is getting so tyrannical that even the act of Liking posts is censored/controlled. I just wanted to express the sad emoji for you from a Like. Looks like I am only allowed once a day now. Since I haven't heard back from the refund department I just installed Photo 2 and then added a shortcut on the desktop and had to create an ico file. I grabbed the icon.png from the MSIX file and created one from it. All this just to get a shortcut with an ico on the desktop.

II just decided to install Photo 2 and report here when I saw your reply. People are saying here that you can install anywhere. That is not the case. I too can vouch for this and if I have to jump thru hoops to change where I can install it, that's a problem, that's just one, then you have the other valid issues mentioned in this thread also.

Thanks, but I opted for a refund. First, they never added WebP as an option to the version 1 apps and now this? I don't need to pay a company to make my life more complicated than it needs to be. I will stick with the open source programs I currently use, they have more respect for me and offer all the file formats I need. They get the job done. I was willing to continue to support this company but clearly they have other ideas that don't include potential customers like me.

I purchased the Affinity V2 Universal License and now I am disappointed to find out about this! I should have read through the forum first. I too would like to know if a normal application installer will be offered.

Yeah, how do we like to use the "evil" WebP format! How dare we save a .PNG file that is 973KB in size into a 37.1KB file size for use on our websites to make them load faster. The gall!

It ads a lot and the compression is the best there is. I have made my websites load faster by compressing 300KB and 100KB images down to as much as 60KB to 30KB. Not offering this feature is the reason I hardly use Affinity products.

I just purchased all three Affinity programs and I am disappointed that WebP is not included as an output format, so I add my voice in asking for it to be added.

After reading and listening to praises for Affinity Photo I decided to take advantage of the low prices and purchased all three applications. I hope I too can praise the software as much and use them as my primary software for all my image editing.
