can you use FCP with two screens? yes. can you tear off panels and move them from screen to screen? yes. can you use both of those functionalities also with logic pro x? yes. can you use two screens with any of affinity v2 apps? no. end of conversation. limiting users in a professional graphic creative/production environment to a single screen is a deeply regressive decision. with large screens being cheaper and cheaper, most professional users are accustomed to multiple screen setups, plus ipads for macos/ios environment. as you try to paint it - this is not a windows vs. macos rant. this is a basic app/os functionality. what is next? affinity v3 will not have a node selection tool? or layers? also, whatever you prefer is not relevant. from the beginning of GUI, macos has this functionality. if a developer introduces a different functionality in his software, it is his obligation to offer both options to users and let them decide which one they will use.

"I personally hate the Mac way to have no application frames..." that is your opinion if you spend your whole day in just one app - it is a 100% legitimate one. on the other hand - if you use 2-3-4 apps in parallel, dragging and dropping objets from one to another, taking files from folders and dropping them on the artboard.... whatever you think is not important. window mode has been an industry standard for 30 years. same as cmd+C/cmd+V/cmd+X... space for hand, cmd+space for zoom, option [alt] button for modifiers.... if window mode was not an option in v1, i would not have bought it, switched my workflow from adobe to affinity etc... now, updated to v2, strips me off a basic app functionality. how to use dual screen setup without separated mode? whatever....

"If for some reason you need this specific functionality, please continue to use Affinity V1 apps." that is a bulls#@t answer "separated mode" is a basic apple mac functionality since the beginning. after 30 years of using all my apps without background covering my view of desktop, folders and other windows/apps, please do not tell me you are that vain to call it "specific functionality" and instructing buying customers to downgrade.

i would like to second that feature. +20 years in design for printed media. inability to link images is the deal breaker. file size is a very serious issue when working 70x100cm@300DPI layout. updating bit-mapped images in PSD or AP and refreshing in AD is regular workflow. as matthias said, one image is shared among many layouts and/or documents. illustrators, UX designers, even web designers might not benefit from that feature, but in print production that is the deal breaker.
