So.….
About a DAM for the Affinitys?
This thread's contributors have taken this topic in a direction that eases the pressure on the developers. Yes, they are great, just like their products and it is true that widening the user base with Windows and iOS will, in time, improve the current products.
But, whatever alternative we consider, it would be fair now (in May 2017) for Affinity to reveal a fixed time-line for a separate DAM for their products to interact with.
Perhaps they aren't going to develop one?
Well, fair enough. There are many excellent reasons for this set of developers to avoid that direction.
But I've been following this thread since I was a beta tester and, frankly, waiting this long to make my choice (to wait or go elsewhere) is stretching users' dedication to the developers....
