    worlok got a reaction from chbrier in Affinity affiliate scheme   
    Nothing wrong with an affiliate program morally or otherwise. I'd love to actively promote it but why do it for free? Isn't my time worth anything?
    So please create one.

    Hi @worlok,
    Thanks for your feedback! We use separate locations for this as not all customers want the same content installed for all 3 apps - however we can certainly appreciate that some may and we hope to look into an option to use a 'common' area for this data in the future

    worlok got a reaction from Alfred in Oil painting effect or plugin   
    I use Affinity Designer for tshirt design creation and also for craft stuff I do for my wife for kids birthday parties and school things - I love Designer and I use it 99% of the time. I use Photo for specific photo things that I then pull into Designer.
    Sometimes you want a one click effect and see how that works. Saves time. I do do long hand things with brushes and stuff but sometimes a filter is all one needs or wants.

    worlok got a reaction from SrPx in Affinity products for Linux   
    I do tshirts on Amazon and other POD which is my main use case for Affinity. If I manage to sell enough in future maybe a new Mac is in the cards, but I planned on turning that money into Bitcoin/Ethereum/etc first so I guess I'll just rough it.
     
    Actually my 2011 macbook exports the designs to PNG pretty quickly. It's not like I'm making 3D movie stills or anything. 16gb of RAM and SSD are the big things that keep my machine relevant.
    Just that, you know about obsolescence etc. It happens..

    worlok got a reaction from SrPx in Affinity products for Linux   
    Thanks for the well thought out response. Actually, if I can't run it on the bare OS I'm not interested. Having all those layers including a secondary OS...  I've used VMWARE and VirtualBox and all that stuff in my previous IT career and even in software test9ing (where I am now) and honestly it would be nice to see linux versions but without them I'd just use Windows or Mac.
    At one time I was so anti Microsoft (post Windows NT SP 2 fiasco) that I used Linux as my laptop OS at the software company I worked for and used Windows in a vmware vm to use things like Outlook mail and MS office apps. I had that flexibility in my job they let me do it. It was a small company and we were ALL nerds with nerd cred, from the VP down to the lowest laptop provisioner...
    If when the times comes I can stay on Mac I will. If not I will use Windows. All I was saying is that it would be "nice" to have that other option although I understand the reasons why they are not doing that.
    That being said whjile I bought Mac and Win licenses I use the Mac licenses the most because I prefer the Macbook. (early 2011 i7 with 16gb RAM and new 500GB SSD I replaced the old drive with a few months ago - non retina running High Sierra - not upgradable to Mohave, dammit - but that doesn't matter)

    worlok got a reaction from wobmann in Can't Select Multiple Masters   
    Trying to select multiple master pages for duplication but using the command key with clicks or selecting the first master then holding SHIFT and trying to select the last master does not select all masters. It only lets me select one at a time. Surely a bug?

    worlok reacted to Old Bruce in Enhancement Suggestion: Adding pages in staggered ordered groups   
    Create your various Master Pages (Lined_Page, Blank_Page, Lined_Page_Graphic_A, Lined_Page_Graphic_B, etc.). Create your 100 pages.
    Select the pages you want Lined_Page applied to (do this by command clicking the pages in the Pages pane) then right click/control click one of the pages and from the context menu choose "Apply Master..." and choose the Master Page in the resulting dialog's dropdown menu. You can even apply more than one Master Page to a single page or groups of pages using this method.
    If you shift click to select a large range of pages you can then command click to de-select a small number of those pages. Say select pages 5 through 20 with shift click and then deselect pages 6,7,12,17 & 19.

    Yes, thats about it.
     
    In the print trade I got asked to print files from all sorts of weird software and odd platforms. Acorn, MacOS, Windows even Amiga. But never once Linux. And yet, over 10 years ago the other platforms were well established for graphic arts users. Mainly Mac and PC, 10 years on, virtually nothing has changed.
     
    When I was more interested in Linux, about 10 years back I thought (and hoped) it would make a big impact. But 10 years on, nobody I know uses it (except my daughter because I gave her a laptop with it on). When this debate started I asked people I know, at random, and they either hadn't heard of it, or thought it was just for Internet stuff and geeks. And for the most part, that is true.
     
    It doesn't matter how much Linux is actually used under the surface, The typical home user doesn't know or care, They just go to their local shop and buy a Windows PC. PC shops prefer to sell more Windows machines with maintenance agreements, anti-virus software, maintenance software and breakdown insurance to boost profits. To them Linux is a  total waste of time.
     
    Personally, I think the abundance of free stuff is a big part of the problem. As well as being labeled as geeks, users are labeled as mean. And where is the profit in dealing with mean people ?
