I for one actually view this as a big plus. I use Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer both at the same time very often, and being able to move between them faster or have them side-by-side now in Stage Manager is a big upgrade. And those who don’t want it or don’t want this issue can switch Stage Manager off. It’s only an issue when Stage Manager is switched on, but hopefully they’ll fix it so that it’s not an issue then either.

Maybe. I also have had the same happen when I switched on the “More Space” mode on iPadOS and switched it back off again. It could be the update, but I think it was more about the restart to install the update cause I’ve had it do the same before when I switched on and off the “More Space” mode on iPadOS. I can select already purchased and it logs in fine, but it’s kind of weird. I just wanted to make sure this wasn’t going to cause a problem with my license or something.

Today I installed an iPadOS update, and after the iPad restarted, the Affinity apps were requesting to be activated. I entered my password, etc. and it opened with all the files I had open before the update. Is this the way it’s supposed to work, or is this a bug? I selected to link the app with my account when I originally activated it, and so I don’t understand why it would think it needed activated again. Thank you for all of the improvements you’ve made with V2, the quick menu is a huge productivity boost, and most of the shortcomings of the V1 iPad app for my workflow have been fixed almost perfectly in the V2 release! I actually use the iPad apps for my primary design work! Thank you for your time! 👍🏻

You’re right! I thought it would stay, but it didn’t. Good to know, thanks for the recommendation! I use Stage Manager a lot, so I’ll probably just work around it, but at least I know a way to fix it! 👍🏻

Thanks for the idea, but apps in fullscreen still have the same problem. The 3 dot menu is always present whether you have Stage Manager turned on or not.

I’m really enjoying the V2 versions of the Affinity apps, but the 3 dot iPadOS window menu blocks options in the Affinity menu bar at the top, and every time I try to click or tap these options, it opens the app window options menu instead of selecting the option I want in Affinity. I’m hoping an update will solve this problem soon, thank you!
