Leave what? There is nothing in DP that Affinity can use. If you understand what it means to create a new suite of apps entirely from scratch, then you should know that. Just changing the coding language won't do it because Affinity can't even understand how the old code works, much less adapt it to a radically different code base.
It is the same application made from scratch. In fact, 90% of the new features (not all) are already in Draw plus. And the new ones that come will be AutoTrace, and others that are already in draw plus. But it's okay drawplus was very good. If anyone doesn't believe me, download drawplus and you'll feel at home. Thanks for defending that they have done it since 0. Don't bother man (from now on I will no longer name DrawPlus). Versions of Illustrator and Photoshop changed engine and code and had to be made from scratch, but they needed the same developers to make the change. There must be a reason. I leave it there.
I also say that they are making a great effort.

But you are saying it is just a matter of reviewing the Draw Plus code & somehow adapt & modify it to run on the Affinity apps. Considering that the DP code won't even run on anything besides Windows at the very least means generating entirely new code to do that, not just adapting or modifying the existing DP code.
Of course, they will have to adapt it and write it in the appropriate language. Also improving it, removing centralized stuff, using proprietary framework libraries that your current core obviously uses, among other things... it's not free. Don't loop, leave it.
-
without the draw plus base that they have been working on since the 90s or so, it would be impossible to have built affinity. The same as adobe that they have been working on since a few years before. They could not have had the versions that they currently have.
-
I'm not saying it's simple I know. There are features that come over the years. No hurry.
-
before adobe xd was inside photoshop and then they decided to put it in another application. It was free, no.
They reused some of their code: yes. They had to adapt it: of course they did.

Again, it is nowhere near that simple because the code base is entirely different. IOW, there is no way to adapt or modify the Plus code; it would have to be completely written from scratch, just as they did with the Affinity apps to begin with.
Photoshop made much more drastic changes in terms of technology, code, interface and it was an evolution. Just don't change the name.
You could say that the current version has nothing to do with it, but it is still Photoshop and they were adapting their code. Of course you have to do it gentlemen analysts and developers. You don't want forum users to do it, many spend hours submitting bug reports.

There is much more to it than just 'refactoring the code.' Serif's older software ran only on Windows; the Affinity software has to run on 3 different platforms (Windows, macOS, & iPadOS), using a single native file format for all 3 apps on all of them, & so on. Affinity doesn't even use the same rendering method as any of the Plus apps or the same kind of memory management.
In fact, they share little in common besides coming from the same company.
all of us who had draw plus know that it works under windows.
Some Adobe applications also changed the rendering engine in some of its versions and it was still called Illustrator and Photoshop.
Serif wouldn't have gotten where it is without the Draw plus code. In 5 years it is impossible to do that.
Those who have not had Draw plus install it and see what I say (uncommon hahahaha).
We already know that it now works for 2 more platforms, it puts it on its website (we know how to read). Well let's leave the news from Wikipedia.
Let's focus, can you add an animation panel or something else to make animations?: Yes, if Serif decides they want to add it.
And then they will review the code that they already have implemented in Draw plus, and they will adapt-modify it for the languages and paradigms they use. Sure developers could not be copy and paste.
Note that I am not criticizing the company, it seems very intelligent not to have to reinvent the wheel. I use your software daily. -

It has, basically, none of the same code. So it's not really the same application, at all.
And it's probably not as simple as refactoring code.
I know, changing algorithms and code to different languages is tedious and takes a lot of work. But nothing happens, we are patient. -

Pero a diferencia de PS, Affinity no tiene una línea de tiempo incorporada u otras funciones similares basadas en el tiempo, por lo que tendría que agregarse antes de que sea posible cualquier tipo de animación.
You already have it done in Draw plus, you just need to refactor the code to incorporate it in Designer. Draw plus continues to be even more advanced. They are gradually incorporating these tools. If you look closely, it's the same application, but they made it multi-device and with a more pleasant and up-to-date interface.

¿Cómo manejaría, por ejemplo, un documento con muchos grupos o sectores diferentes, algunos representando un fondo fijo y otros la parte que debe ser animada?
Photoshop makes it perfectly simple. Draw plus even simpler (but does not export to gif but to a format not supported by current browsers)
-
After so many years Draw plus is still even more advanced.
Hopefully the code refactoring will make the ability to create gifs using the animation panel available to us.
We will attract many more users like animators and banner designers,...

It would be great to implement it in Designer. Before we had it in Draw plus.

Affinity keeps adding new features. This makes the performance problem increasingly difficult to detect. I would stop adding functions to the application and urgently solve this error (at least it works as well as V1) -
Gentlemen, Automated testing. So they won't forget anything. Yes, I know they use them, but I would add that it is better to wait than to present software with errors.

Sí, puede anidar mesas de trabajo para organizar cosas, pero la agrupación se ve más limpia que las mesas de trabajo anidadas
Grupo:
Mesas de trabajo anidadas, agregadas con la herramienta Mesa de trabajo -> Insertar por selección:
Que entonces si quieres moverlo:
no coloca automáticamente las mesas de trabajo seleccionadas en la mesa de trabajo recién creada, debe hacerlo manualmente
What a great test job. What patience.

No hay tiempo... Pago para usar un software que funciona. Tengo un trabajo, que no incluye pruebas de software.
Dejaré que Serif lo pruebe. Ojalá lo hagan bien.

totally agree, you are absolutely right. Please hire professional testers. Don't use your customers. There are users who have worked very hard to submit malfunction reports. And they don't do it because they want to, but because the application doesn't work.

OK, so I've waited for a couple of months and today I tried to use Publisher V2 again.
It seems like nothing has changed. At all.
I know most of you are probably using dark interface but I've been working in a light one for years, I'm just used to it.
And the new one is still horrible, can't get over it. The contrast is gone, the used fonts look strange, the icons are childish, not even talking about Layers panel...
Just check the screenshots.
What the hell was wrong with the little blue accents that they had to disappear?
I thought for a moment that the V1 interface was outdated - I just love it again! Still cannot use the new version, so I'm sticking with V1 for a while. Again...
These colors irritate. I don't know why they changed. they were perfect. Those red buttons (error messages) burn my eyes, they distract me and I don't take it off because I have to use them. The interface with the blue markup was perfect.
If something works why change it. They just change things that people were happy with. Now they have unhappy users for modifying the interface.

Prefiero la nueva interfaz de usuario a la anterior. El viejo se ha sentido un poco anticuado.
Me recuerda a cuando se mudó el adobe al piso, tantas quejas pero ha crecido a todo bastante bien.
it has grown because it is a killer software (freehand, fireworks). Affinity V1, you don't have to think to start using it. I've used Photoshop and Illustrator for 15 years and I still don't like their interface. People move to affinity because it's so easy to use and hooked. If affinity starts to look like adobe, I prefer adobe because it has better tools. I use affinity because I feel very comfortable and that's important. That being said I don't like V2.

Parece que este hilo se está calentando nuevamente, probablemente porque ninguno de los problemas planteados parece haber sido abordado en la reciente actualización de AP .
Lo mínimo que Affinity podría hacer es mostrar si el hilo ha sido leído por alguien de Affinity que entiende bien el diseño de la interfaz de usuario.
Esta actualización es un terrible paso atrás: simplemente odio usar V2.
Y no soy solo yo, hay cientos de publicaciones en estos hilos donde los usuarios están de acuerdo en que v2 es un desastre horrible.
You're right. I don't know why, but V2 doesn't hook me. I don't care about opening V2 than Illustrator. V1 could not stop using it. that version was addictive.

Había hermosas marcas de verificación en un panel Capas, puedo ver desde una Luna qué capa está activa y cuál no.
Ahora se reemplazan con horribles puntos grises oscuros y grises no tan oscuros en los que pierdo el tiempo haciendo clic para detectar qué está activo. lo que no está activo.(no puedo dar una muestra en este momento ya que se canceló el soporte de Win7)
Interfaz de usuario horriblepreviamente:
you're right. Looking at the layers panel makes me dizzy. The type of layer is information that is not necessary. And that point is not understood what it is. On the other panel you didn't have to think. This new one saturates my brain.
I want to enjoy, not think. Affinity don't be Adobita. UI V1 is better, it frees up memory to think about our projects, and not waste time on the program.

To be honest, even though I could also make use of an even more advanced warp tool, I would rather see resources being divested in more pressing features, such as vector patterns, layer appearances or explicit group/ symbol editing. The workarounds for those are more costly to me. If the live filters work as they are supposed to, I would say it's good enough for now.
vector patterns with symbols, that would be great. It would attract more users such as fashion designers. very useful also for any type of design.
-
Very good Affinity, I like the idea of not creating new panels like adobe and using the same ones we know. I wish it could be filled with vector symbols. With that we would have solved the vector patterns. It would be an amazing dream.

I like using Affinity Designer. It's a very good app. However, export quality and antialiasing can be improved.
export quality is bad in Designer and Publisher if you compare it to photoshop or illustrator. And the weight much higher than in those applications. Solution: I have to export it as pdf for printing and import it with Illustrator and export to png. Also a screenshot has more quality than the export. Please, affinity, can you improve this? I also think it is urgent.
I do not think it is very accurate to say that we use another application. Sooner or later all users will have the same problem.

Photoshop 1 and Photoshop 2023 are not the same application. In addition, there is also photoshop for ipad. Therefore you are in a similar situation photoshop for macOS, windows and ipad. Photoshop did not change the name. You do. But don't be offended, Serif workers. Adobe does too.
