Will be a free update from 1.9 to 2.0?
Ali replied to Eloy González's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
The one-off price is (and always has been) for the lifetime of the version. I don't know why you think that's not clear. Many other software houses operate in this way: it is not peculair to Serif. Serif is still a relatively small company and probably don't have the capacity to continue to improve their software AND support previous versions concurrently (and there are bigger companies who do the same, anyway). It is what it is: if you don't like it, take your business elsewhere. -
No rewards for being an existing user...
Ali replied to Rogermcarey's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
The only software I have on subscription is MS Office 365 and you get updates pretty much constantly. Serif's model with Affinity is perfectly fair, in my view: new versions don't come around every year, so you are going to get plenty of free updates (we used to call them 'patches') during the lifetime of the version. At the end of the day, Serif is running a business, not a charity, and if you want Serif sofware to continue to improve, then Serif need to be able to pay for good developers. It is what it is. I think just under £90 is pretty good value for the bundle they are offering. -
Existing V1 users to V2 license
Ali replied to Costela's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Aber beim nächsten Upgrade (vielleicht in fünf Jahren) werden Sie kein Neuling mehr sein ... Irgendwann muss man auch neu dazu sein, oder??? -
I have just upgraded to V2 and had hoped that this oversight in V1 would have been fixed, but alas it seems it hasn't, unless I am missing a setting somewhere. In PagePlus (which I am still using because of this shortcoming in Affinity Publisher) I could tick a box to export my document to printer's pairs (i.e. imposed) tin PDF. This option was missing in V1 - can someone please either tell me where to find it in V2 or confirm that it's still missing? Thank you.

This: (also British recognise) Petty nitpicking.

Recognise.

On the Facebook page where you reported this, you said this: Is this the case? If so, what happens when you skip this step?

Cross reference support
Ali replied to The Wook's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
No chance. You might get something (but nobody knows), however it will not be as sophisticated as it will be in apps that have been in development for many, many years longer. Keep your expectations realistic. -
Just in the interest of balance, I have used McAfee for years and never had any issues with stuff getting through. I don't get worked up about the occasional (maybe once a year?) false positive: better that way than not at all. As far as I am concerned, it does what it's meant to do and does it very well.

installed windows 11- cannot sign in to my account.
Ali replied to ian kelsall's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
How are you trying to sign in? Through the app? If so, run the app as administrator for now. Serif are looking at this issue (lots of threads about it). -
I think what the OP is getting at is a half-and-half image. Even so, it would probably be easier to blend this image with one of the cleaned barbecue, so having the 'after' image would help. If it were me (and it isn't), I wouldn't entertain obliging without having seen the before and after myself. I would not want to be a part of this sort of sharp practice, IF that's what it is. BUT, there is a lot of conclusion jumping going on here - feels a bit like a lynching before the OP has had time to respond to the allegations ...

They tried it once with PagePlus - as far as I recall, the tiered approach lasted for one version only. It did not prove worthy of the development time required. I would support the option for a simplified menu view (if it doesn't already exist) within the app, however, for anyone wanting just the basic tools. This can already be done with personalised settings, I think.

Just ignore me. I've only been typing in German for most if my life - what would I know?
