Hopefully their DAM will incorporate StudioLink too and be able to use Photo or Designer right inside the DAM if needed.

Canva bought Serif. Linux didn't make a competing offer.

Doesn't the Lenovo Yoga 7 16in weigh over four pounds? That is not a very usable tablet. That is just a laptop without a keyboard. The 13" Microsoft Surface Pro at just under 2 pounds is a little better, but still a strain to hold for very long. The iPad Pro and many Android Tablets in the 11" range weigh just over 1 pound. I think weight and price are the biggest reasons why an Android version is wanted. The stylus pen might be useful, but it shouldn't be mandatory on a tablet designed for finger touch like the Android and iPads are designed to do. There are plenty of times I carry a tablet without carrying all the accessories. So it is nice if all the apps can work reasonably well without the accessories.

I haven't had a Mac in 10 years, so I'm curious as to what you are seeing it do? Can you put a screenshot of the "multiple tabs in one window" and what you doing that closes the one you aren't looking at?

The iPad apps have a different interface that is better suited for interacting with your fingers instead of a mouse and keyboard. Here is a 30 second video that Affinity made for Affinity Photo 1 when it debuted. Here is a much longer video really exploring the interface in Affinity Photo 2.

Posting about the competition on the Affinity forum might not be clever, but I seriously doubt Affinity would avoid a platform because of potential competition. If they were afraid of competing they wouldn't have picked the most crowded markets first.

The problem is the Affinity apps aren't finger-touch friendly like they are on the iPad. It would be nice if the Windows apps had an alternate interface like the iPad apps that could be triggered manually or automatically by Windows Tablet Mode.

I just tried downloading again and it worked for me.

Well the bug is still in V2.5 apparently. I'm having this same problem 10 years later.

Does their Photoshop plugin work in Affinity Photo? https://github.com/gruppe-adler/PaaPhotoshopPlugin

What I had attempted to say without so many words is, the help file obviously leaves out OneDrive, Google Drive, and Adobe Creative Cloud Drive, so presumably they aren't supported. Therefore, I wonder if those will be added as future manually linked services in upcoming versions of the Affinity apps or if those cloud drives have OS level support like iCloud does and will be seamlessly integrated at some point. Or I guess maybe they'll never have support added. What @walt.farrell replied basically just reiterated what was obviously derived from the help file.

Stating the obvious.

Thanks. Now I'm wondering if OneDrive, Google Drive, and Adobe Creative Cloud Drive need to be added, or do those services operate more like iCloud.

I noticed in settings > Linked Services of the Affinity desktop apps there is a link to Dropbox item. I did that and the apps appear linked to Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps Afterward I was expecting to see Dropbox in the browser, prompt me to launch the appropriate Affinity desktop app without having to download the file first, but it doesn't. Dropbox just says it cannot load the file type and has a regular download button. Just like before. What is this Linked Service supposed to do?

This mostly likely falls back to the chicken and egg problem. Pretty much everyone chooses the OS based on the apps they can use, unless the OS somehow starts getting in the way.
