@KarinC, sorry!… I intentionally blurred my visual. But ask @jmwellborn, @Xanadu and especially @Circulus. For my part, I withdraw, not thinking that my original assembly would provoke so much reluctance. But hey, the time is for reversals of minds and priorities.

I apologize for this post which was simply intended to illustrate the indignation of more than a thousand English musicians in the face of a threat to culture here as everywhere else, with a composition which paid tribute to them through a simple graphic play... That's all. 😶

@Circulus, you are talking about politics: we are talking here about musical culture and only musical culture. We do not, a priori, have the same values. And when I look at all these English artists, I see all my heroes.

@Patrick Connor, sorry... I'm a bit lost with Serif, but I maintain my attachment to these softwares. Good luck.

🇬🇧 ...(Google translate, sorry) some very personal remarks that only commit me. I try to be careful, but I still have questions. • The delivery of version 2.6 includes an AI function. Mastering such an innovative and new technology may not be given to just anyone. • The overhaul of the management of pages and boards in Publisher with this version 2.6 took a lot of time and does not seem perfect in use to date: it is perhaps that the programming base had not anticipated such an evolution, an evolution that is nevertheless essential for any page designer of books and other multi-page paper media. • If we look at the number of versions of the software in the suite (see the table below), maintaining these 15 variations is perhaps a very (too) complicated undertaking. • The acquisition of one company by another is often a major destabilizing factor for companies and their employees. The arrival of Canva in the equation, with certainly its own technical and financial requirements, may have insinuated doubts and questions in the minds of both companies. And it is indeed the giant CANVA that bought Serif. • Offering the software of the suite for free (for a period of 6 months) is commercially attractive, but one can wonder about the loss of revenue that this implies. A loss of revenue that can lead to a restriction of human resources for IT development. Similarly, offering for the purchase of a single license the 15 variations a single price, without additional cost for the user. • Reliability problems, from yesterday (still not resolved to this day) as today with this version 2.6, all software have them. But, if we read here on this forum so much negative feedback from users, we can legitimately ask ourselves questions about the reliability of the suite. • Finally, offering an identical software solution to two categories of users (image professionals and individuals at home) may not make sense, since these two categories of users do not have the same requirements and expectations at all. I therefore remain cautious when using this valuable software suite that I love for the individual work of an individual at home, with a long experience as an image professional. 🇫🇷 ...quelques remarques très personnelles et qui n'engagent que moi. J'essaie d'être prudent, mais je me pose quand même des questions. • La livraison de la version 2.6 comprend une fonction IA. La maitrise d'une technologie aussi innovante et nouvelle n'est peut-être pas donnée à n'importe qui. • La refonte de la gestion des pages et des planches dans Publisher avec cette version 2.6 a pris énormément de temps et ne semble pas parfaite à l'usage à ce jour : c'est peut-être que la base de la programmation n'avait pas prévu une telle évolution, évolution pourtant indispensable pour tout metteur en page de livres et autres supports papier multipages. • Si l'on regarde le nombre de versions des logiciels de la suite (voir le tableau plus bas), maintenir ces 15 déclinaisons est peut-être une entreprise très (trop) compliquée. • Le rachat d'une société par une autre est souvent un gros facteur de déstabilisation pour les entreprises et leurs employés. L'arrivée de Canva dans l'équation, avec certainement ses propres exigences techniques et financières, a peut-être insinué des doutes et des interrogations dans les esprits au sein des deux sociétés. Et c'est bien le géant CANVA qui a racheté Serif. • Proposer gratuitement (pour une période de 6 mois) les logiciels de la suite est commercialement attractif, mais on peut s'interroger sur la perte de revenus que cela implique. Un manque à gagner qui peut amener à une restriction des ressources humaines pour le développement informatique. De même que proposer pour l'achat d'une seule licence les 15 déclinaisons un seul et même prix, sans surcoût pour l'utilisateur. • Des problèmes de fiabilité, d'hier (toujours pas réglés à ce jour) comme d'aujourd'hui avec cette version 2.6, tous les logiciels en ont. Mais, si on lit ici sur ce forum autant de retours négatifs des utilisateurs, on peut se poser légitimement des questions sur la fiabilité de la suite. • Enfin, proposer une solution logicielle identique à deux catégories d'utilisateurs (professionnels de l'image et particulier à la maison), n'a peut-être aucun sens, tant ces deux catégories d'utilisateurs n'ont absolument pas les mêmes exigences et attentes. Je reste donc prudent quand j'utilise cette précieuse suite logicielle que j'adore pour les travaux individuels d'un particulier à la maison, avec une longue expérience de professionnel de l'image.

@IItirtartar: “Now everytime I open Designer a window pops asking me to update to 2.6.0. I looked for an option to disable update checks, and I didn't find it. Nice. Did I miss it? Does somebody know if update checking can be disabled somehow, please? ” If you've already launched and used version 2.6.0, reinstalling version 2.5.7 "might" cause problems, I think, but that's just my opinion. So, be vigilant. For my part, I went back to version 2.5.7. But, I had previously saved my configuration on an SSD, just in case. Here are the files and folders on macOS that make up the Affinity apps installation. Again, this is just my experience and I was able to get my 2.5.7 apps working again, just like before trying this 2.6.0 version: In the "Preferences" folder, three files: “com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner2.plist”, “com.seriflabs.affinityphoto2.plist” and “com.seriflabs.affinitypublisher2.plist” In the "Applications Support" folder, three folders: “Affinity Designer 2”, “Affinity Photo 2” et “Affinity Publisher 2” In the "Group Containers" folder, then "6LVTQB9699.com.seriflabs": “v2”

I'm afraid that with this episode number 6 of season 2 of the long-awaited Affinity Suite, we should exercise the utmost caution. The writers seem to have worked insufficiently on this new story and the introduction of a new actor in the person of Canva has, perhaps, shaken up the already established production process... Affinity.Suite.2025.S02.E06.NopFiNAL.DivX Otherwise, adopting the same attitude as with major macOS updates while waiting for versions x.3 or x.4, especially on production machines, seems to me to be responsible, even essential in order not to waste our time and nerves. In the meantime, I'm sticking with the previous version. #StayOn2.5.7 The next version can only be better and more solid.

Slow startup time?

Parfait @Vladimok, j'espère que la situation va perdurer : je m'en vais de ce pas brûler un cierge... 🙂 -
Very pretty: this simplicity is definitely very elegant.

...on pourra aussi appliquer le principe de précaution appliqué aux produits Apple comme à son système d'exploitation : attendre la version x.1 ou x.2 et laisser aux équipes de développement le soin de réparer les bugs relevés par la communauté devenue béta-testeur !… -
Slow startup time?

🇫🇷 Bonjour @Vladimok, pour ma part, j'ai abandonné la recherche de solutions. Il faut dire aussi que je ne dispose pas d'un bagage exceptionnel pour trouver des solutions, mis à part une quarantaine d'années sur macOS qui ne suffisent pas devant ce fournisseur et ces outils graphiques si particuliers. Puisque l'on est entre nous, j'ai même imaginé récupérer les versions non-officielles des programmes pour voir si la situation évoluait dans un meilleur sens : mais, une nouvelle fois, j'ai abandonné l'idée. J'ai installé la version 2.6 hier soir, APRÈS avoir réalisé une solide sauvegarde sur SSD de ma machine. J'ai fait quelques tests qui ne m'ont pas convaincus et j'ai abandonné : j'ai réinstallé la version 2.5.7 et replacés tous les fichiers système par la sauvegarde. D'autant que si l'on suit quelques fils sur les forums, de multiples bugs sont toujours présents et de nouvelles fonctions ou implémentations semblent très “tordues”. Je vais partir du principe que la version 2.5.7 fonctionne bien sur ma machine et que j'ai maintenant confiance en cette version que je “maitrise”. Pour les fonctions avancées que l'on utilise tous de temps en temps, je passerai par d'autres outils ou d'autres bidouilles. Pour l'essentiel, et par rapport à mes besoins, cette version 2.5.7 est “viable”. Et puis, j'en ai marre de devoir me prendre la tête !… 🇬🇧 Hi @Vladimok, for my part, I have given up looking for solutions. It must also be said that I do not have an exceptional background to find solutions, apart from about forty years on macOS which are not enough in front of this supplier and these very particular graphic tools. Since we are among ourselves, I even imagined recovering the unofficial versions of the programs to see if the situation evolved in a better direction: but, once again, I gave up the idea. I installed version 2.6 yesterday evening, AFTER having made a solid backup on SSD of my machine. I did some tests which did not convince me and I gave up: I reinstalled version 2.5.7 and replaced all the system files by the backup. Especially since if we follow some threads on the forums, multiple bugs are still present and new functions or implementations seem very “twisted”. I will assume that version 2.5.7 works well on my machine and that I now have confidence in this version that I “master”. For the advanced functions that we all use from time to time, I will use other tools or other tinkering. For the most part, and in relation to my needs, this version 2.5.7 is “viable”. And then, I am tired of having to rack my brains!… -
