[API and Development Guide available?]

It's cool that work is being done on this. Thank you so much.
Any form of support for writing plugins/scripting would be VERY appreciated.

The "UXP Plugin API" is too modern and not supported by APh.

You just saved me a lot of time because I was about to start learning this.
Thanks for the responses. I think I know what to do now.

I'm trying to get the new Stable Diffusion Photoshop plugins to work at all in Affinity Photo 2. They're very new, and do not load or even appear in the plugins section.

I was experimenting with some very old photoshop plugins I found online, and they're in a 8bf format and it seems to get recognized by the plugin loader.

So does this mean that new photoshop plugins are not compatible with affinity photo 2?

I've been having no luck with the .ccx files. The plugin manager doesn't recognize them and extracting to their own folder doesn't seem to work either.

So...they support 3rd party plugins, but don't offer any support for that support?

Is there a reason?

I recently starting using this software when I transitioned from 3D art [blender] to 2D art.

I often used the Blender API to write simple plugins that could automate repetitive tasks. I had no knowledge of python before this, but managed to learn enough to write code that did what I needed it to do.

I've been having a lot of issues finding anything similar to an API for Affinity Photo 2; There are a number of things that I would like to automate, but I have no idea where to even begin writing code for this program.

Also, there are a few plugins that were written for Photoshop that I would like to use for Affinity Photo 2, but they do not work at all. If I had access to resources for making plugins specifically for Affinity Photo 2, I would be able to fix these issues.



Why does it seem like there are no resources for writing plugins for this program? If they do exist, where are they?
