Serif can't make the URL input window for generating a QR code wider, and you're demanding that it also show the logo in the QR code? Seriously?

So far, after 1 year, there is no sign that any of the money from Canva has helped Affinity grow.

I have been using Affinity since 2015, so I can compare the quality now and 10 years ago.

I searched Canva's website for any information about Affinity, but there's nothing about it except for the information from a year ago about the Serif acquisition. I wonder if Canva is ashamed of this acquisition? Even this year at the Canva Circus, there was no information about Affinity.

I see this from observation. After Canva took over, the quality of updates deteriorated, and communication with Serif deteriorated. A few years ago, the program was indeed updated, adding new features without any glitches. Even based on my feedback and ideas, a few improvements were made to improve the program, but now I see that any feature requests are pointless because they won't be implemented anyway. We can only pray that new updates don't break the program (which has been happening all too often lately). No one knows how many people work at Serif now, and no one will. Serif is true to its motto: "We know, but we won't tell."

It looks like there are only ten employees left at Serif.

As I said, after Canva's acquisition, Serif retained those who couldn't solve this problem.

I wouldn't count on Serif being able to do things like that. Now that Canva has taken over, there's no telling how many employees are left.

Cobalt Dragon - maybe Serif should hire you for their company. You've done something Serif can't. Or maybe, for a reasonable fee, you'll do a feature for me - for Windows 11 - that Serif won't do, and I suspect there's no one there who can do it.

Unable to download Beta version 2.6.4.

Will the update to version 2.6.4 take place in early 2026? I'm asking because I want to hire an employee for my advertising company and I don't know whether to give up on Affinity and send the employee to use CorelDraw or Adobe software. I wouldn't want a new employee to get used to software that may not be developed. At the moment, there really is such silence that if it weren't for the fact that in this thread, for the first time in a long time, a moderator mentioned something about an update - I would have thought Affinity was dead.

All of the things you mentioned were only done a little, on the principle of getting users off my back, they are not fully finished despite the requests and insistence of users. I still believe that the former Serif does not use the programs they made.

I don't know if you know, but each of these 3 programs is really one program that only has functions blocked for the user. Different ones for Publisher, different ones for Designer and different ones for Photo. You can see this by opening in Photo, for example, a file made in Publisher in which there is a Data Merge Layout with a cut-down editing option, or, for example, you can open files with Symbols or files with Artboards made in Designer. I have Publisher in version 1 in which Serif mistakenly gave the Pages panel to Persona Designer. In version 2, Serif already removed this panel. I also wrote for 5 years to make 1 program. I also offer my money for it - nothing for free.

OK. Good to know he's okay.

That's not an answer. And my next question - Isn't Ash the Director anymore?
