Thanks, installing now. (but for now i don't have any issue yet)

Guys. Linux is the future. You may not see it at the moment, but you are trusting Apple way too much. What if your golden ecosystem breaks down?
 
The thing is that I know lots of people who would be willing to purchase this software for even more than the original price if it was available for Linux. The Linux community is not cheap. If there is a quality product that is worth it, we're gonna buy it. And I'm pretty convinced Affinity is. When I read about it, I was super excited because as a young alternative to Illustrator, Sketch and Vectormator, there would be a chance of Affinity being more modern and also supporting other Unices than only Mac OS. See, the world of Unix is so unbelievably huge, yet you are concentrating on such a tiny subset of it. The programming effort is tiny, many Unix programs are portable between systems without any modifications. Since Mac OS is practically a BSD-Rip-off, the programming effort of porting Affinity to Linux is tinytinytiny And you could be one of the first innovative companies offering a consumer-application for Linux, which would probably not only make huge waves in the Linux community itself, but also the whole industry, which will also gain you lots and lots of customers.
 
Unless you were dumb enough to use native Apple-APIs of course. Then you're f****d.
 
In that case I would advise switching as soon as possible, as painful as it might be. It will save you lots and lots of problems and lots of future pain. I can only advise you to look into Qt, which is by the way also cross-platform-compatible. Yes, I'm even talking about Windows.

I'm trying to print a file on the A4 in size 9cm x 5cm, more, the size is still going wrong, even in the new version, the impression left with 15cmx20cm
Totos are the files I create in Affinity Information, follows an attachment (Obs) This problem is since the first beta, in all versions gives error.

Hello biscuit,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Thanks for letting us know about the icons. Issue logged.

Thanks, installing now. (but for now i don't have any issue yet)

I installed this version, and now i canot use anything in windows. Before was ok. Bur now when i open the software the computer become SO HEAVY, and when is on full screen he loses quality and resolution.
 
(at this point i uninstalled all the adobe softwares to run only affinity and clean).

Keep the awesome work guys, cant wait to see this software running softly and cant wait for the affinity photo on windows too. :)

Status: Public Beta
Purpose: Stability
Requirements: None
Download: Here
 
We have decided to release the first update for Affinity Designer on Windows today - to fix a few significant bugs which were preventing some users from using the application properly / at all. Normally, we would release updates on a Tuesday - but we wanted to get these issues fixed before the weekend. Click the link above to download the new beta.
 
Fixes
 
- Fixed serious problems with all uses of fonts in the application.
- Fixed problem whereby the app would show the splash screen, then crash.
- Fixed installer problems - we think this should let people install who could not before - but let us know if you still cannot install.
- Fixed numerous issues with paths containing non-ASCII characters.
 
Thanks for taking the time to test Affinity on Windows - we'll be back with a new build early next week with even more fixes and improvements :)

Like many others, I learn by doing, not by just watching a video.  Your tutorials are excellent, but I can't find the photos used in the tutorials, so I can go through the tutorials step by step alongside with the presenter.  
 
It would be so much more effective to have a download folder with images used in the tutorials available so we can manipulate those images as we go along with the tutorials? 
 
Thank you in advance.

Hi C39KER,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Currently, you can have more than one document open, but you can only edit one at once.
Batch processing will come later.
