Affinity products for Linux
IanSG replied to a topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
According to Pixeluvo's website there isn't a Linux version! -
I've had intermittent problems with an SD card - it was amazing how the only times it failed were when the shot mattered! I haven't had to apply it yet, but since then I've had a zero tolerance policy towards card failures. Rather than formatting the card in your camera, try using the SD Card Association's formatter on yourMac - the error checking is more extensive.

Affinity Photo Export
IanSG replied to Wags's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I'm confused - exporting isn't available in the develop persona, and you can't switch to the export persona (or any other) without developing the image first. Why do you have to do it now? Aside from the file size being much smaller than expected is there something wrong with the exported image? Sorry, more confusion! If you're starting with a RAW file and then saving, the output file will be .afphoto and much bigger then the source file so I'm not sure what you mean by "the same result". -
Hi @Fixfocus and welcome to the forums. As I've already mentioned in this thread the timing's down to Libraw, not Serif. Using Adobe's DNG converter might provide a workround, but the the GH6 wasn't supported when I last looked about a week ago. Adobe's last update was in February, and they usualy work on a 90 day release cycle. I've no way of knowing how accurate it is, but it's rumoured that Panasonic changed the GH6 firmware shortly before the camera went on sale and this is causing delays. Libraw's release cycle is longer and is much more influenced by public demand. If you're going to try crossing your fingers I think you'll end up with very painful hands!

Not going to happen! Serif, along with many others, use LibRaw to provide RAW support so the timing's out of their control. Adobe seem to have much closer links with the camera manufacturers and will probably always be quicker to offer support for new formats but they're not there yet.

HDR merge problem

As of a couple of minutes ago the Panasonic GH6 wasn't supported by Adobe's DNG converter - it will probably be several months before LibRaw (and hence AP) supports it.

Affinity products for Linux
IanSG replied to a topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
I don't see Win 11 driving people away, and certainly not into the arms of Linux. I know one person who's "upgraded", and he's monumentaly unimpressed - everyone else is ignoring it. fwiw my guess is that MS will extend the support period for Win 10 and hope that the number of people who can't use 11 drops enough that they can be ignored. -
File damnage
IanSG replied to Aureociel's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
As I said, I'm not a Mac user so I don't know much about Time Machine. A good backup system will enable you to recover from the total destruction of your computer, and it will enable you to recover individual files that may have been "corrupted" months ago. It may be that your best option is to use more than one program. Sorry, I know even less about that. -

As @carl123 said, set up regular backups, and test them. Modern drives use SMART to check that they're working ok. I'm not a Mac user so I can't recommend any software but there must be something you can download to perform regular health checks. -

All university cities, and we all know that university students are too poverty stricken to buy software and therefore producing Linux versions wouldn't be commercialy viable. 😉
