Beautiful font. Hope we'll get support for the variable fonts as soon as possible.

That's a hard/tough decision to take, as the M3 Pro SoC in the new Macbook Pro's are known to be significantly slimmed down now. For example their RAM binding transfer rates (M3 Pro = 192 bits/153.6 GB/s and M2 Pro = 256 bits/204.8 GB/s) have now decreased due to the omisson of a 4'th mem module (see below article reference). All in all the M3 Max SoC looks better here in contrast when compared with a M2 Max SoC, instead of the M3 Pro SoC when directly compared with the M2 Pro or M2 Max SoC.
Here's a partly translation from a german article about the new M3 chips use in the Macbook Pro line now ...
Apple-Chips: Der M3 Pro ist der diesjährige Verlierer (the original DE article)
Partly translation:
Usually I would say the newer the better (aka for M2 vs M3 chips/SoCs), but I'm not sure if that overall also applies here then for the M3 Pro SoC then versus the M2 Max SoC, thus you have decide on your own which one to finally take!
According to the above shown it probably won't offer a better/faster memory binding in performance, at least not for the M3 Pro SoC as that one is hardware wise reduced now!
Other than that both should be fine working horses for the Affinity suite.

See also some of the Max Tech Youtube comparison videos, which usually give some performance etc. overviews between M3 and M2 and the like.

... etc.

That may be the best solution to the problem. Thanks for the advice.

Hi @Amontillado,
It lets you import several types of addons (brushes, assets etc) at once from a folder rather than import each type one by one from their respective panels.

Time flies by fast and I'm obviously still living in the past. 🤥 

FYI:
https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/
See first row under “Amazing apps for every workflow.” and find “Affinity Publisher 2 iPad”.
Unfortunately, nothing (yet) in the App Store.

when round-tripping from C1:
if you open a .tif and cmd-s you can overwrite it with the .tif  extension. 
if you save your .tif file as an .afphoto so that you have the opportunity to adjust your adjustments later, AP will not allow you to export it to the original .tif file and insists that it now has to be a .tiff file.
I for one would greatly appreciate it if AP left the file naming to me and did not enforce it's opinions on naming conventions.
 

For anyone wondering about this, attached is a video which should give an idea of what happens when you use the different resize handles.

We have not decided on the minimum spec yet but Affinity Publisher does not need Stage Manager to run on an iPad.

I bet that the Affinity Publisher for iPad will be realised during the WWDC22. 🤓 That should be just in time for the summer. 😎 

Hmm, I think I still would prefer three different applications that could work with each other through the Persona Switching.

Hopefully the iPad version of Publisher will still work on non M1 iPad Air.

@walt.farrell I asked the people at the Affinity Customer Service about a week before I ordered a copy of the Affinity Publisher Workbook at Black Friday sale, and they gave me the following answer to my question »How often are the Workbooks updated?»:
»To date we have not yet updated any of the books other than a few grammar or formatting errors when the books required a reprint to restock.»

Would be great to be able to both import from and export to IDML.
