Hello, I need to insert lots of images in the book header. It's a flipbook animation, with 30 different images and it repeats over and over. Is there any automated way of inserting all of it instead of manually applying and aligning each one? Thanks!

We all get that you don't need or consider AI an important feature and I agree there are other priorities. Still, it's up the company to make its market research to know the demands it could provide for. They know better than us. About a Linux version, I'd like it. However, it doesn't considerate the current users, while other new features do, so it's less appealing unless they're missing a good niche, which I believe they are not, since Linux users have other open source alternatives and most Linux users aren't going for paid proprietary software. But just for curiosity sake, based on what you consider a Linux version more important and viable than AI? Are you aware of the costs not only to port it to different Linux kernels but also to keep it always up to date and compatible with its drivers? They would have to hire a keep a new team dedicated to it. Believe me, it's way different than implementing a resource that most graphical softwares are already doing. I'm not saying that AI is that top priority, but certainly isn't lower or less viable than a Linux version.

It's a possibility, yes. Like a subscription add-on, like DaVinci Resolve Cloud solution, where the app itself doesn't use a subscription model.

I agree that Serif have its own goals and targets, no question about it. However, about the AI trend, it's up to them to decide if they need to pursue it or not. To those who alleged it could be difficult for Serif to do it: You know the filters in Affinity Photo? They were mostly developed and coded by Serif itself. But most of those AI software or implementations you see in other apps over there are not coded at all. They are open source models, hence that's why we see millions of new apps everyday using this technologies. If we can see a 13 year old make an AI art app based on those models, I'm pretty sure Serif is competent enough to do the same - if they decide to. So please, stop treating it like it is rocket science, because it's not.

Does it have to be binary, like one or other? Does Serif have like only one or two employees? Have you ever heard about development backlog and roadmaps?

I'm saying that there's a reason people moved from Photoshop to Affinity, like why people moved from Premiere to DaVinci Resolve. And from that, Adobe learned and moved to improve it. That's part of the game. You can't get too comfortable thinking you're king. If Serif realizes they're losing ground due to not having AI implemented, you bet they'll do it.

It's not a question if it's art or not or if you like it or not. It's a business model decision and simply, if Serif does nothing about it, it will get behind others.

Hi Carl, thank you. I hadn't seen that previous message and it seems to have worked. Thank you very much.

It appears to have worked. Thank you! Any clues on why this happens with hardware acceleration on?

That's exactly it, when I open any of 3 apps and try to open or create a new document, the program suddenly quits. It's not the first time it happened in my PC, I even formatted it because of it. Now, it's happening again. I really want to ditch Adobe package, but in times like these... how could I? Luckily I still have Adobe apps here so I can work.

I'm on Windows 11. Until some time ago, both Designer and Publisher were working fine. But now, when I'm inside the apps and try to create or open any document, the app quits itself, no error message nor anything. I was using a beta version, but then I tried the trial version and the problem continues. Please, can somebody help me how to fix it without having to format the system? Thank you.
