wow! look at us... 4 year old thread @fenix please try and post in english... it's kinda common ground (i'm from germany) - thx To recap the sentiment four years later: I don't mind paying for (semi)-regular updates. not.at.all! I work for a medium sized post-production company and we (sadly) are mostly reliant on Adobe Products. Thing is this: Adobe made a mess out of their whole suite... dating back to atleast the first CC suite. Usually we need to have at least 2 or 3 versions of every Adobe program installed to reach maximum compatibility with everything a customer throws at us. Problems with Plugins come on top of that... Now... years back, me and two coworkers started using just Affinity Designer and Photo because we do programming most of the time and just don't need/like newer Adobe tools. Turns out, because of file quality & size, app speed and easy (& joy) of use, today EVERY artist here "also" uses at least Affinity Designer to open/review almost all Illustrator files we get. Designer is able to open more .AI versions than Illustrator itself.... Long story short (also preordered Publisher, just because Designer & Photo ROCKKKK!): Thank you Serif! Even if you are a smallish contender, your Apps changed not only my daily workflow, but also the view of our company at Adobe pricing and politics.

Hey MEB! Thanks for clarifying! If your team in the end supports all three apps like you are already doing with Designer, everyone will be more than happy to pay for reasonable upgrades. And FYI, i just finished a medium sized project just using Photo (Beta) and Designer - i gotta say, once you find our ways around, the workflow is just awesome! Thanks again.

Hi Team Affinity! 1st let me thank you VERY MUCH for bringing real competition to the Adobe-driven world we live in. Most of the things I've seen so far in Designer and Photo are really awesome and i am really looking forward to future releases. Not everything can be perfect from the start, but with Designer you have so far proven you are committed. Which brings me to my question: Can you really keep things going with your One-Time Payment policy? Don't get me wrong, everyone including me loves that, but i suppose somewhere down the road (v2?) you will have to ask for money again, right? I really want you to succeed and personally i would'nt mind to pay an upgrade price - say every major version. Maybe its still far off, but can you say anything about that? Thanks!

Hi Plokhi, maybe i can help with this... First - thats what MEB said - select both shapes and make sure the stroke has the same width. Second and that's what i stumbled upon once: before you combine the shapes, make sure you have "scale with object" deselected in the stroke panel. hope that helps!
