Thanks for the update. Even though I got the app moved and working. I still prefer to have control of drive/folder location and whether I want to update or not at each update notice. So, I would use the MSI over the app. Thanks

Well, against my better judgement. Installed the apps and moved them to another drive. They are working Hoping that everything will work when updates come. They should, but I have never been a fan of windows apps. Still ain't. Even though Inkscape has better features, it does run a little clunky. But hey, they have bitmaps tracing!! Hope we see that from affinity before v3

I was not talking about after moving it on whether it can be updated after being moved. I know once its moved its moved, If you remember, you were the one that showed me I could move it. Don't u remember? And, I was talking about having the option to select drive (or folder) when I initially installed. I was answering somebody else who said they were given that option.

I was not given an option to choose my own install drive or folder. Several people have stated the same thing. Not sure what you saw.

Sorry, but there is no word from Affinity of this fact yet if you move to another drive.

As I stated above... Yeah, not good enough though Still a lot of questions concerning updates and such like. I emailed Affinity directly, they still haven't responded yet.

Precisely. I have to have installation control to manage SSD space. I guess Affinity don't care about losing customers. That tells me everything I need to know. Another company going the way of Adobe. Its sad.

Yeah, and this is why "Moving" the app to another drive instead of SSD is a no-no for me. I have to limit what is installed on my small SSD and I don't want to have to do these work arounds every time there is an update. We need more info for people who need to move the apps to another drive that also creates a "WindowsApp" locked folder.

Yeah, I already posted above that there is one. Thanks

Yeah, I went back to v1 as I migrate to Inkscape, Sribus and Gimp. Then I am done with Affinity. I never thought of doing the Trial because.. 1) I assumed that Affinity was EXE installs, not window apps. They didn't even tell us this was going to happen. Back a few years, Adobe did a similar thing in not telling users that their program would only work on Windows 10. Made a lot of people mad because they didn't announce it and lots of users installed to only find out it wouldn't work on Windows 8. 2) Their wasn't any ground breaking new features, so, why would I need to try it first. This is so lame.

I just reinstalled v2 to test. It does have a Move button in Settings on Windows 10. However, you still can't specify where it goes. It automatically creates a WindowsApp folder, with locked permission. So, that means on every update you have to go through this process of "moving" it. Still not I want to be done. HATEIT

Also, someone mention that for MSI, you have to install each program separately. Well, you still have to download separately with v2 also.

I totally agree with Keith's remarks. ... I don't want Alias' ... I want to be able to control my install path at install time ... I shouldn't have to use "Move" in settings (haven't seen that I can do a move in Windows 10 with v2 yet) ... This is a PC not an App device ... Who cares what MS has to say. ... Most bad installs either are Affinity issues or Users who don't take care of their PC's health Ridiculous!

For v1, windows 10, there is no Move button. Can someone post a screenshot of v2 from a Windows 10 pc.
