I have a macOS updated to current Ventura software, I downloaded all of my V1 and V2 affinity apps from the developers site.
First I installed V2  Migrated V1 into V2  when prompted Then I erased all  V1 apps as best I could from Mac OS   I have yet to see what this did  or any effects this will have if any at all. Im interested in creating as much space on my computer as possible by getting rid of all  V1 package contents, cache, etc.
Can anyone tell me if there is a efficient way to do this manually and with out a cleaner. in my experience the cleaners still tend to leave a lot behind and id like to trash all of the old V1 contents.  I just can’t remember which folders I should check in macOS , any help would be great !

Im also interested to know about the best way to install/uninstall
1) Install/uninstall
A. Did you Uninstalled V1 affinity apps to include photo, designer, publisher, before you installed the V2 version?
OR
B. Did you Install V2 and then uninstall V1 apps after ?
Did you encounter Any problems? did you find a solution?
 
2) Migrate V1 into V2 
A.Did you migrate V1 into V2 when prompted ?  
OR 
B.Did you decide not to migrate  V1 to V2 and install plug-ins add-ons etc. afterwards ?
Did you encounter Any problems? did you find a solution?
 
*ANY INFOR YOU ARE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE QUESTIONS ABOVE ARE APPRECIATED 
Thanks !

So I have both Designer and Photo. I mainly use both for Digital painting and Matte painting or photobashing (concept art environment stuff)
I recently started using the isometric grid and the isometric tools in Designer to create blueprints for interiors before I do a painting of them in Photo, to get scale worked out
Anyways, I currently create perspective grids in Photo for painting over by using the star tool and overalapping 2 or 3 of them to create a perspective grid which I can then trace over and line things up to with the perspective tool.
After using the isometric grid & axis manager and plane tools in Designer, it would be amazing if something like that could be built for doing 2 and 3 point perspective grids in both programs.
An option for "Perspective" could be added to the Advanced tab in Grid & Axis Manager.
It would be awesome if had the following features/controls:
Choose 2 or 3 points (this would do for 90% of peoples use cases) Allow each pivot point to be moved in X an Y directions with sliders or by entering coordinates and seeing updates onscreen in real time as with the other grids Allow for each points lines to be different colors and opacities Allow 2 or 3 points to be constrained/mirrored by other points, so for example when setting up a 2 point perspective grid: moving the left point in, out, up or down would also automatically be mirror on the right side, without needing to position each seperately This is probably not quite possible, but if snapping to the resulting grid lines was possible that would be really useful. But even just having a visual grid to trace over while painting and positioning photos with the perspective tool for photobashing would satisfy me Really hope something like this can be added in future. There was never anything like this in Photoshop or Illustrator either, and it always seemed like such an obvious feature to me.
I love Designer and Photo. Really amazing products

+1 from here for the prescribed Hide/Show feature.

But otherwise I have to say that mesh warp seems work excellently with images. Nice tool to straighten (or warp) stuff.

I appreciate the possibility to open Aperture catalogue photos directly from the Media Browser window. But there's a big caveat : presently, only preview JPEG files are shown and opened in Photo whereas the referenced files (RAW in my case) stay invisible. Bug or feature ?

Everybody has different needs, of course. Why would I want to flatten layers while continuing to edit? Because when starting with a 120MB (or more) background layer, and then adding several adjustment layers along with a few pixel-based layers mushrooms my filesize to 1/2 - 3/4GB. Continuing an edit session at those file sizes really takes a toll on performance with my system. Therefore, when I notice things are getting slow I flatten all current layers and continue working. Certainly not a non-destructive workflow, but sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do. :)

Meb,
 
Any chance that Hide/Show All might be on or added to but just not listed on the official Road Map? I'm surprised that not many people are requesting this as it is one of the biggest time savers for me when using Illustrator. Being able to hide something with a simple keystroke and then being able to show it without having to mouse over to the Layers palette and toggle the Hide/Show button every time I need to hide/show something saves me an enormous amount of time. I'm still hoping that it will be added some time in a future release. I know that the development team is working hard and that they've got a full plate but I'm still hopeful for this. 
 
Just as an update, after my trial was up, I purchased Affinity Designer from the App store and I'm very happy with it. I have been thoroughly enjoying the program. I love how easy it is to adjust lines, a real improvement on the way other programs work. I also like the way Affinity Designer handles gradients, very interesting. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to seeing how the program matures.
