[iPadOS: external display support via Stage Manager]

I think the Affinity Suite on iPad is THE predestined candidate for utilizing the external display feature via Stage Manager. In fact that is why I bought an iPad Pro, falsely assuming this just works.

No idea how tricky it is to implement the feature but I think it should have high priority going forward. I for one would love to work in Designer/Photo/Publisher on iPad seeing my designs in all 5k glory.

I agree. This whole February I challenged myself to switch to 100% iPad Pro + External Display with Stage Manager. Many apps work without issues on the external display, but the entire Affinity Suite, after selecting what type of project on which one intends to work, all the menus and tools are gone. Move the window to the iPad screen, it’s all there. Move the window back to the external Display, and the menu and tools, buttons, and widgets are all gone.

20 days in, I’d really like to remain on this new iPad Pro workflow if at all possible. It’s a bit much to expect the Affinity team to fix this in the next 8 days, so returning to macOS is inevitable, but it’d be nice to know that it the near future this will be fixed.
