[Affinity v2.0 and Windows 8.1]

Is there a way to install the new interesting Affinity v2.0 on Windows 8.1?
(My system is running well, so I want to keep it and I don´t want to spend some days to setup Win 10 where some Software of mine doesn´t work (what I tried some years ago))
I tried this:
- I tried to install Net Framework 4.8 without success to install Affinity v2.0.
- I unpacked the msix Install file and tried to find a setup file without success.
- Windows 8.1 doesn´t recognize msix files, just the former msi files. I also couldn´t any software to make Windows 8.1 capable to install msix files or to convert them to msi- oder exe-files.

Are there any ideas or suggestions how to install it on Win 8.1?
Thanks a lot!

[Macro recorder doesn´t record all commands]

Ir would be nice, if the macro recorder would also record commands like copy and copy reduced etc.

Delete commands in existing macros would also be great. Actually you just can set them inactive.

Thanks a lot.

[Thumbnails panel to show all open files in AF Photo]

A Thumbnails overview (e.g. thumbnails panel) additional to the tabs or included in the tabs would be very nice to switch between all open files! Also a possibility to rename the tabs without saving the file to get a tab name.

A function to arrange all windows ( e.g. of 14 open images) would be also good. Like Arrange windows (images) side by side, stacked. The actual windows function is not satisfying and not a real help to work with many open files (for Documentations etc.).

Thanks a lot and keep on going with your good work!

 

[Toolbar settings - size, more commands, 2 rows]

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

I´m fully aware of the possibilities you wrote about point 2. and 3.

 

But for the horizontal toolbar there is just one row possible and there are also just a small amount of commands available you can add to that toolbars.

Like I wrote I miss at least undo, redo and some more.

 

[Photo - Switching between open documents with thumbnails]

Its for the affinity photo windows version.  A thumbnail overview to switch between open documents (Like now with the tabs) would be very useful.
I don´t mean the possibility of more open documents in tiles vertically, horizontally or so.

[Toolbar settings - size, more commands, 2 rows]

I miss some toolbar settings like:

 

1. Icon size small, medium, large  (because its very depending on the monitor and its  resolution)

 

2. More Icons for commands like Undo, Redo and lots more,. Best would be if you could choose free out of all commands.

 

3. Two or three rows for the toolbar. Until now just one row is possible.

[Photo - Switching between open documents with thumbnails]

Until now there are tabs used to switch between open documents.

If there are many unnamed open documents (like I do for collections etc.) the overview lacks.

It would be much better, if there would be an thumbnail overview to select between the documents (line in Serif Photo Plus)
