the account site looks basically the same, that there's more below really wasnt obvious, I mean who expects more options for windows especially after having been taught that af2 comes as msix. I never thought they'd make exe installers. altho calling it msi and being an exe is weird lol I mean an exe and an MSI are really different things

yeah looks like this. only an MSIX for windows, a DMG for mac and QRs for ipads.

affinity 2 only seems to come with an msix in the downloads, I cant seem to find any exe files for af2.

everyone is looking at each other and taking what they think is nice. And I would highly doubt that MS and mac decided to make things like virtual desktop or clipboard history or whatever part of their OSes just because something like XEROX or whataver it was called had it 30+ years ago. they are likely looking at currently available systems and what features users like there.

It has certainly been mainstream enough to not die.all of the other systems died and I doubt windows or mac would now look at extinct OSes to copy from rather than a system that sure is in the minority but well and alive

steam has been brought up many times. is it so bad to not accept it as an answer?

well linux introduced those features to the mainstream when it comes to OSes, and yes while the precise question was what started in linux after that he said more precisely that they came on linux "before PC and mac". where with PC obviously windows is meant. because that's what ppl have been brainwashed into assuming being the same.

exactly that's what I am trying to say.

maybe linux didnt "invent" virtual desktops, clipboard tracking and several other things but among the big 3 (Windows Mac and Linux) linux was sure the one that has had it the longest, and likely improved upon it enough that it was brought to Windows and mac. like sure xerox atari and whatever may have been earlier but none of them are really around nowadays.

I at the very least voted and commented on the reddit threads. I am not a fan of registering everywhere with my real name so I have not registered for wine, but I hope at least the reddit stuff helps.

Likely helps that English isn't my native language (and insults are rarely taught at school). The only way i have heard gimp before was gimping an image as in "badly editing" it. But that it's an insult to disabled ppl actually hurts. Regarding the off topic issue, yes talking about gimp in the context of affinity photo and Linux is imo okay but let's not take it too far.

Wtf? How that? I am classified as disabled and have no idea how gimp could be bad.

okay, checked that link saying that the sets here in the forum are not the full library versions... kinda confusing

where to find that

well I think he means in regards to the server's OS.

thanks. i was working on this with someone else, and apparently he got the idea from a tutorial that the transparency gradient which is used on other places which needs to be uniform across them can be set as some kind of template that way. I just made a mask rect, that way it can be easily copied over.

Hello, so I have a project and for some weird reason all new shapes seem to have an inherent gradient-thing that seems like a mask which I cannot remove and any fills I apply will be only applied upon that. it's really weird and frustrating tbh, as I have no Idea what's going on.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/24/21302213/apple-silicon-mac-arm-windows-support-boot-camp both sides basically give a big middle finger. Apple doesnt want alternative boot options apparently and Windows Licenses ARM only to OEMs.

okay. well I would also love affinity on Linux, especially with W10 being what it is and 8.1 only running till the start of 2023

if you have coins and bills as your affinity fund wouldnt that be kinda useless as you cant just run into a Saturn or whatever and buy a box, although I really wouldnt have anything against it (although the obvious problem would be the extra cost lol)

couldnt at least for reasonable sizes the entire doc be kept in memory so it doesnt have to result in that?

I have this sometimes too especially if the network share loses connectivity for a bit. (but it was designer on Windows) I can see why an error message is needed if it cant save, but SERIOUSLY, forcibly closing the document is NOT the right way to go about it, rather spawn a save as dialog.

precisely. it was probably changed when they introduced the new logos.

hello, just wanted to note something less about the program but rather about the beta test itself apparently with the re-branding of 1.7 there are no beta specific icons anymore and even the title you can see in the taskbar just says "Affinity Designer" which makes it really ugly since there is only one true place where you can see that you are in the beta and that is the splashscreen which is also used in the about panel. I think this can easily lead to confusion for people who use both on the same machine and should be fixed sooner or later.

@Estrobeda well I can see why they wont officially do a wine version because then they would quite literally come to w(h)ine when something doesnt work which might not be the fault of serif/affinity.
