VarrusKane replied to CarolineL's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
They are probably doing what Gamemaker will do with their new version of software. Current version is buy once use forever but next version will be subscription based. Just like how Adobe did it when they migrated to the CC versions I think. It was inevitable really. Corel does it too, although you can pay once... ~$800. RIP indies. -

I can confirm that I have 1 normal Publisher entry and 2 separate beta entries too. -
Hello everyone! This saturday our servers' files have been encrypted by EKING ransomware and I'm afraid that my Affinity product license files might got out in the process. None of my local files were damaged, only the network volumes got encrypted up to the letter "M". I quickly removed everything related to Affinity from my PC at work. What's the general approach when something like this happens? Should I be worried? Since my license can only be used at most on 5 machines, if people on the internet gets hold of it, will I get blocked somehow when I try to use it later? Can I install the Affinity suite back? Thank you for any info you can give me.

Hi, the title says it all I think. I tried to import our quarterly product catalogue which we work on in InDesign. I tried to import it as an IDML in Publisher 1.8, but the following things happen: Have to wait several minutes (3-5) to even see something happening, after dragging the IDML file onto Publisher. When it opens and I try to move any image (snapping turned off), it takes about 4-5 seconds for Publisher to move that image over. Cannot save the file as .afpub, Publisher just hangs. The images the catalogue uses are wildly varied in size, from small 72 dpi all the way to A0 size 300 dpi images. The IDML file with all the linked files is roughly 7 GB in size. Now, I understand that IDML import is a very new feature. I'm just trying to figure out if it's on my end or it's a generic problem. If I import roughly 100 images from the same catalogue into a newly created Publisher document, then all is well, everything's snappy and I can save it easily (it only takes about 2 seconds, just wow), also it opens in about a second or so. Also, you guys are making great strides and I did not regret buying the holy Affinity trio. Thanks!

Hi, At the office I do a lot of online banners in Photoshop which require a lot of variations in size. My workflow usually consists of placing and embedded image onto one of the artboards (I have about 10 artboard / PSD), converting it to a smart object, then going into the smart object and masking out the background of said product. This a a huge time-saver in the long run. I can copy-paste the same smart object all over the place and all the things I do inside the smart object get updated on all of them. I know Designer's Symbols feature is somewhat like this, but I'd like to be able to do this in Photo since its raster tools are superior. Also when I used ~6 symbols in a single AD document with about 10 artboards, it was very unstable, meaning AD crashed frequently when I tried to modify the symbols. My question, will Affinity Photo or Designer include something like Convert to Smart Object (I know they use nondestructive placement by default, so no need for smart object), so that we wouldn't need to create a separate AD/AP file, save that and manually place it inside the document? OR is there something similar which I do not know about?

I wouldn't hate on Affinity personally. We have to take into account that Affinity's very small compared to Adobe and also, they don't milk you for $52.99 a month, like Adobe does. Affinity Photo is tremendously good value, but everything has its downsides. I agree though that it shouldn't take 2 years to add proper support for one of the biggest manufacturer's camera.
