Why not just provide a better message than 'try again' when a mix of the two are installed?
Information about the version and type of installation (if there are multiple variants) primarily belongs to the About dialog - that's the purpose, after all.
Of course, the application can try to provide more detailed information, but it can often be quite complex and inaccurate - see the effect of application sandboxing and their isolation of the OS from the environment and other applications.

I'm not sure why it matters at all.
Because "sandboxing".

If you would be willing to provide some screenshots to confirm there's no mixture, here's an approach that would gather the information reliably:
- Start the apps as you normally do.
- Start Windows Task Manager, and give us a screenshot of that window.
- Expand one of the Affinity application entries, and right-click on the first line of the expanded entry. Choose Open File Location. Give us a screenshot of the top of the File Explorer window that you get, with the location bar showing.
- Repeat step 3 for the other two applications.
Too bad this information is not part of About.

why was OpenCL hardware acceleration on Win always enabled as default .
I was also very surprised that after the negative experience with the introduction of hw acceleration in MacOS, they left it on by default in the Win version, where problems could naturally be expected due to the countless number of video controllers and drivers.

I think they should look at it more from a casual/less knowledgeable user perspective. An experienced user can handle it, and the default setting does not suit him anyway and he has to adjust it.

Plus, we did not believe in online converter services at that time due to privacy matter.

it grates to see 25% off the full suite but not individual applications.
I think this is a completely standard and unsurprising business practice that you can encounter in everyday life - the discount for one yogurt will be lower (if any) than the discount for the whole package.

My point is that the DPI makes a huge difference to the file size (and to the resolution).
Yes, but that's not the OP's case - please read his first post, where it says that the resolution of the image is given and fixed (2993 x 7703 pixels), so there's no point in discussing the obvious fact that if I increase the resolution, I will of course increase the file size.

There are no vector graphics in this picture.
The JPEG on the left is 72 DPI, the one on the right is 300 DPI.
Please indicate their resolution (ie how many pixels they have), the DPI size is not important. As OP write, the target resolution of his image is 2993 x 7703 pixels, and they will remain whatever the DPI is. For a JPEG file, the DPI value is just an entry in the metadata.

DPI does not play a role in raster (non-vector) formats, and has no effect on file size - pixels are still just the same pixels.

This is just a public service announcement:
Serif explicitly announced that V2 would not be backwards compatible with V1 when version 2 was released more than half a year ago. There are many threads here on the topic of backwards incompatibility.

Looks like I did some thing silly.
For example, you typed 88 (press twice key 8 on numeric keyboard) thinking you were entering a numeric value in an edit field.
This is the most unfortunate "gadget" that unfortunately cannot be turned off 😞Or hoover mouse over Opacity field, and scroll the wheel, thinking you're scrolling the canvas/document across the screen - also a very unfortunate solution.

you need to know that it's Snapping
This brings me back to the idea that I presented here years ago - why is such a very specific function that rather confuses the user (mainly by its expression - see dozens, maybe hundreds of posts) enabled by default? If the user is knowledgeable and wants to use this function, he can turn it on without any problems - he knows what it is and therefore knows where to enable it. But it's a big problem for uninformed users - what is it? why is it here? reinstalling didn't help! what should I do with it?

I'd never have worked that out myself.
A small tip for using Google search here on the forum, which very often provides relevant results even when a "general" query is entered.

You don't care, and I don't see any signs that you take criticism or take in the knowledge of others. Just a mental wall.
I have to ask again - and why are you wasting your precious time here? Banging your head against a wall doesn't seem like a rational thing to do.

So, what is wrong with that
Topic title?
15 minutes ago, morabira said:You should read, look and analyze before making any comment.
If you had read my post and analyzed it, you would have found out that I am talking about different thickness of segments (as stated in the title of your thread), not automatically generated smooth transitions. So writing in response to my post about transitions is completely unnecessary.

It is great if there is a tool that automatically generate the smooth transition like I propose.
Sorry, but I understood your request "Make it easy to make each line segment has different thickness." completely differently. Different segment thicknesses, not automatic smooth transitions, was what my post was about.

As a V1 user, I didn't have to learn anything at all when switching to V2. That is, apart from completely new functions, which is true for every version (even V1 got new functions, which if I wanted to use, I had to learn them).
