AffinityMakesMeSad

OK, so you move from one billion dollar company to another multi billion dollar (and ugly) company? Good luck if that’s your move…

Why why why do you relate to Indesign in this thread?? It's really really Off-Topic... Affinity Publisher isn't Adobe Indesign, so, what's the point??

Good luck to you if you should make this kind of software suite, without any manual because you have made the applications intuitive! Probably you would have employment everywhere among all big software companies… But, you seems not be living in reality so this will never happen… RTFM.

But, your attached document isn't made in Affinity Designer v.2.50 beta 1 - so, how could you use Line Width Tool then??

Yeah, Logic Pro id da shit!! Bought it when they reached version 10 back in 2013 ($200), and now, 11 years later, it’s v10.85 and I haven’t paid a penny for Logics updates since then! Incredible!

Ok, but, if it’s so, why have Serif struggled to take Affinity Publisher to the iPad in the first place - doesn’t make sence!! iPad version of Publisher is around 95% of the desktop version - pretty strange priorities from Ashley concerning the planning of resources in the team…

The only thing to complain about concerning Affinity Suite is two things: 1. Very very basic functionalities has still not be seen in this Suite after so many years - why? 2. Why have Serif Ltd holding off several new features to iPad, but released on Mac and Windows? Bad priorities…

This reply from Patrick is really funny… Why shouldn’t the head of Flourish have nothing than positive things to say about Canva? He’s not neutral, he’s part of this konglomerat Canva International (soon to be bought by Adobe Inc.)…

How many of you out there that is negative around this buyout of Serif Ltd? It seems that PC have been waking up and starting treathen us if we continue our replying around our negativism…

Ash - everything "you" promise here, is that written in a buyout-contract between the former Serif-owner and Canva? Because - if it ain't an written commitment, there's nothing that can't be changed down the road... You may excuse me, but I'm enormous skeptical to all this Affinity/Canva future...

No, it can't be the money that brought Serif Ltd mentally broken... Serif Ltd as a company has earned more than 45 million pounds (50m dollar) the last three years - pretty good for a really small company. So, where have all the money been going? Not to speed up the slooooow development of Affinity Suite...

Good suggestion! I use the app CrossOver on my Macs to run “old” Windows application (can’t install Win on another drive because I have Apple Silicon CPU:s on my Macs)… CrossOver is fantastic - I can run so many Win-apps not present on Mac platform - Xara as an example - also many special utilities that I need. Nice to avoid a real Windows computer and just stick to Macbook Pro, iMac and fabulous big iPads… https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover/

Favorite in reprise: Thanks to the great member @Bit Disappointed

Best reply ever! We are now eagerly awaiting the answer what have changed since 25 of mars 2024? How come that we all of a sudden are important for Caffinity??

This pictures say it all - almost every Serif staff will not survive this storm, just Ashley and his friend that have gotten some floatingwests…
