add affinity publisher and then the .apub extension. It MIGHT show the thumbnails.
Have a look at this thread, it might help.
 
You also might be able to manually add the formats in xnviewMP
 

Unfortunately that didn't work, only a placeholder.

You could try to add the Affinity formats into the list of supported formats and the thumbnails might turn up. 

Would certainly welcome support of the Astute Graphics suite of plug-ins.

I put it in the Affinity Photo forum first but then realized it's needed for the whole suite as well, hence the second request to make it available to the whole suite.

Apperntly it's not a priority. Most bugs are fixed fast...Or it's a very complex one wich takes time...

Splash screen is not important! I don't work with it or can't make pages with it. So, in short: nothing to worry about.

With application sets you can make a set that will be activated for that specific application. So you can make a set of fonts specifaclly for affinity designer for a certain project and activate those fonts in suitcase fusion. It's the next best thing next to auto-activation.

Auto activation only for some Adobe products.
But there is a workaround build in for programs that can't be used with auto activation, so it is still quite simple to activate fonts.
 
I use it for years now and the latest version is very fast and well designed UI. It's one of the best font managers out there.
I put in a request to support the affinity products for auto activation a long time ago, so, who knows.

There's nothing you could have done. No matter what you've done, there's always people moaning.

I am quite sure that registered users of Affiniry Photo or Designer will get an email about the beta being released!

The limitation is your memory installed. If I remember correctly, you can set the amount of RAM used by the application.
Under "Preferences"---"Performance" you can set the amount of memory you want to be used by the application. If you set it higher, you are able to load more files simultaniously...Or work with larger files...

Vector packages are heavely used for font design, so Affinity designer is no exception.

I really like the Affinity Spotlight web page.
 
Interesting reading, especially about the developers.
I hope this way a lot more people can understand that it is not a trivial thing to develop new software and why it takes a little longer sometimes then people want it to take.
 
Lots of good reading stuff and inspiration!
 
Keep it up.
 
Thumbs up from me.

If you have more then 1 Microsoft account, then yes, that is possible. But it's not something Serif  want you to do...

Personally I would opt for a stable basic layout program. You can add bells and whistles later.

People are more likely to get a piece of free software then paid software and hence you can build quite quickly a 6 million userbase. It's a bit shady that one of the competitors is free now...
You don't get it, do you. If there's an announcement on the Microsoft store website about serif's Affinity Designer then it will fetch far more recognition then other ways. This is free advertisement on a massive scale.
 
"I share the considerations of Serif why they don't want to send out e-mails to Affinity Photo users that don't own Designer."
I concur, it's about Designer but don't you think any of the contestants are trying to maximize voting? ( one of em is free now and has an automated voting system build in)
 
Mac users are just 10 percent of all computer users and Windows based users is way larger!
The more people read how good and innovative Designer is, the better.
I've seen lots of programs like Todoist over the years and to be honest they are all quite the same.
 
If Publisher is going to be as innovative as I think it will be, then they can use all the attention and possibly potential new clients. This will ensure income for the developers and the development of future products.
 
Today's software market is a tough one considering the competition. It's not like when Adobe started, when there was nothing.
I think Serif took a very brave step to take on the Gigant on it's own home turf and at least they give you a way of getting out of Adobe's grip on your wallet.
I personally think my 2 votes are just a small token of appreciation of the hard work they have done and the hard work there is still to be done in the future.
 
YMMV.

Voted twice, used another account today...

Ok. Personally I can't see why a program like Todoist should win. Nothing special or real innovation.
Problem is that todoist has 6 million users...

Yup, psd also has the same limitation of 4GB. Wink. Another hint of it's origins...
They(Adobe) created the .psb file format for large files. Larger then 4GB...
