The V2 deal is great!
For me, I don't need an image manipulator. I need something like Affinity Designer for Linux. But InkScape is not what I like to use every day.

Still no solution?
The simplest export name is not possible?

in all fairness, the number of linux users is in the several billions (that were able to be counted, which is quite difficult to count when linux typically doen't track users). How many of those people need a photo editor I dont know but it'd be unfair to say there's only a few hundred.

I don't come to you at all.
But I know, I will be happy to use PS in the browser.

Affinity missed his change.

It turns out that everyone has been really amazing and Affinity Photo is now at position 13 within the top 20 with 131 votes. By continuing to encourage our contacts to use their three votes for this app, I think we can realistically get Affinity Photo into the top ten.
Well done everyone!!

I am now pleased to report that our combined efforts so far have put Affinity Photo at position 18 within the top 20 and that is good news.
We can still do more though. We can let our Linux friends and colleagues know by social media, messaging services and email that we would very much like them to help out by registering with Wine, going here https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=39311 and then voting for this app by ticking all three boxes then that would be a very great help.

You convinced me to vote for Photo. Since you can change your 3 votes at will for any product, it was no problem to change that.

You don't get it, affinity photo already has the bugs attached to it. The Affinity suite has the same core code, and it's that code that's bugging out (working on the artboards, making new documents). I have barely used affinity photo myself and i'm also an affinity designer user mainly but consider this: if hypothetically no one here has an account before now, and they use their vote for this only, we only need 130 more people to vote (AP has 18 votes at the time of this comment). If we split the votes up it's more than double that to get both to 407 and even more if we also have publisher people vote for that app separately.
For this purpose of porting the suite, one app should cover most bases as they share a large chunk of their code. That's why I said earlier to keep the votes contained in one app, not because I'm a Photo user.

I gave up on Serif providing Linux versions some time ago, but always read the comments in this thread that get sent to me via email. It's an interesting discussion.
I have often wondered whether Serif are setting themselves up as a buyout target for Apple or Microsoft. Why else would they sell their excellent software so cheap, other than to build a critical mass of users?
If this was the case, one could see why a Linux version would be a long way off on the their roadmap. 

It's more complicated that just "testing on WINE" during development. Do we train up all devs to learn how to use Linux? Do we purchase new machines to use? Do we train up the QA and tech support teams? What about marketing, or offering support when there are inevitable problems when customers run it on WINE? 
Also, I don't believe it's our responsibility to ensure that WINE works, that's the responsibility of the WINE developers (if the Affinity applications work on Windows, then they should work on WINE). 

Sure, JavaScript is growing. But not Linux.
lol, déjà vu
Man, I am talking only about Linux on desktop. Linux enthusiasts don't like closed software like Affinity. They like to make thousands of different distributions, which all are the same but not compatible to each other. Wine works also against Linux. All that prevents Linux to grow on the desktop.
You need 2 steps to grow Linux:
1) Focus on only 1 or 2 distributions; with one standard
2) Support software companies to bring their professional software native to Linux.

Ask the Linux Foundation if they want to pay 100k to Affinty to support a Linux version.

Thank you!
