Danel got a reaction from Thorsten Zimmermann in Extremely disappointed that this installs as an "App" and not regular software program
Our future is in the hands of big business, which uses its monopoly to submit us as they to they pleases.
It is a gentle descent into a trap . In the long run, it is likely that most software creators will impose subscriptions on customers.
The alternatives are free software, of which Linux is one of the engines.
Affinity is riding the consensual wave because of the too small Linux market; it's a pity; it would be the beginning of a dike bursting.
But one can dream... There are many people who use gimp because they have nothing else.
The low price of affinity is a serious asset.
In the meantime, let's not have too much tenderness towards our supplier, it's only a company that exists to earn money with its products and to support its employees.
It has no feelings; only interests... and that's normal.

It couldn't be clearer: a little shot of fire extinguisher to put out the fire...just a little shot. After the 14th, we'll do as we please.
God Mickey, master of the App, we bow down at your feet, but take no notice of the beggars who hinder our steps towards you, we will make them bend.

Hello,
When you buy a tool of any kind... camera for example, you don't ask the customer to be an expert in electronics and optics to assist the design shortcuts of the manufacturers.
The problem with computers is the tradition that comes from the origins of this tool and that forces us to think that a customer must also be a geek or at least comfortable with the intricacies of this technology.
Affinity is a tool and nothing else, no more than Win11 or OS thingy:
you buy, you install, you use the tool.
The expertise lies in the handling of the tool and not in circumventing the inadequacies of designers who still think that it is the clients who must adapt to their whims and not the other way round.
Mickey Mouse has instilled in people's heads that it's normal to buy buggy, poorly designed products...and this idea persists.

Oh dear!
I had forgotten that to use Affinity products, there were prerequisites:
To be a computer engineer with a specialization in Mikey11, to study the specialized Affinity forums and not to have any contraindications for benzodiazepines!

I have the same problem: I can't switch a raw from Faststone to affinity 2.
This is a very big problem for my workflow.
I will now advise my club not to migrate to this version until we have an exe.
Is it possible to cancel this sale and get a refund?

Danel got a reaction from Snapseed in Affinity products for Linux
Ok, thank's a lot for your answer...
It's really a big problem for me because my PC is too old to continue using the current software (14 years old) and I absolutely don't want to go on with Mickey and the apple...

I don't really understand how hard it is to migrate to Linux; the Mac OS is a Unix derivative, so the migration shouldn't be that hard, right?

Danel got a reaction from nschall in Crop in original shape
Good morning, sir,
Yes, that's exactly it.
Of course, I couldn't find any settings to change it and that's why I was asking...
When you work in a photographic format and you want to crop a scene, in most cases you want to keep the original format.
In my opinion and experience, it's very rare that people change format or adopt an unconventional format...
At least it would have been convenient to keep the original format or to be able to set any default format.
I come up against this problem every day and I find it more and more painful.
Are there any reasons (that I don't know yet), to keep this kind de parameter ?
