They won't so it's "no bother."

Yep, we should start seeing new 1.7 features implemented into Publisher.

I see the current version 1.6.5 Designer/Photo aren't compatible with Publisher 1.7

So I have Affinity Publisher 1.7 but Designer and Photo 1.6.5...interesting.

It's not an alpha so it should be pretty stable.

Getting close to the end now. Here is to hoping for a long BETA cycle.

Linux users will never get cutting edge software until they are willing to support its development with something other than wishing.

Yep, there is always OpenToonz but not recommended for the faint of heart or beginner; difficult with poor documentation.

Affinity Photo: Plug-ins Support

Yep, the proof is in the pudding.

Looking forward to the ePub 3 features.

Yeah, I think I would be looking at Hit Film during the interim.

For an After Effects alternative I use Hit Film.

The bottom line is that not one Linux user on this forum has given $1 to support Linux builds of Synfig Studio since my posting.

I think the best bang for the buck has to be Pinnacle Studio.

You can use Synfig Studio with your Affinity products now for FREE!

I'm not an outsider looking in. I use Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon edition.

Ah, a perfect snapshot of the mindset of an average Linux user.

Yeah, I more interested in the ePub features.

Ha, they will buy not. Smith Micro put out an Anime Studio Pro Linux version for 1 maybe 2 releases and dropped it for lack of sales. Xara released a Linux version and it died also. Several companies have tried the Linux market and then killed them off for lack of sales. You now have several groups that are actively trying to develop software for Linux that matches what is available in the commercial market and they are struggling because no one wants to support them. I hear users here say they can get half million dollars for a Linux version but I say they are dreaming. Just look at Synfig Studio the premier 2D animation software being developed for Windows, Mac, and Linux. They barely get $50/mo worldwide in support. If just 10 users on this forum would donate a mere $5/mo for its development then they will start nightly Linux builds of Synfig Studio. Do you think you can get just 10 people on this forum willing to part with what would be about the cost of a cup of coffee. It won't happen and surely wouldn't be very prosperous for Serif to release a Linux version of their product line. When it comes to putting money down this is when Linux users go into hiding.

I am hoping for a long delay. The longer the development cycle the longer I get to keep my money!
