    As frustrating as it is, I think it's default behaviour in MacOS, so that might explain why it's happening in Affinity and why it perhaps (I don't really know, I've never tried to write any software!) isn't as simple a fix as we think it is.

    I am a programmer and I can tell you that the OS has nothing to do with it.  The reason they don't do it, is they don't want to do it. All OS's have a way to get the path.

     

     

  2. Screenshot file names provide description to go with the description below.

    TIFF file exported from Capture One has a very strong moire pattern in the couch fabric that the subjects are sitting on. The moire is not apparent when editing in Capture One, but it is evident in the TIFF file opened by 2 of 3 downstream programs. See the steps below. 2 of 4 (including Affinity Photo) if you include opening the tiff file in CO20.

    I am not sure where the issue is since it doesn't appear in XnViewClassic, nor in Capture One if you open the TIFF file in C20. Details and screenshots included.

    1. I develop a RAW file in Capture One 20
    2. When satisfied I process it, export to tiff
    3. There is NO moire pattern in the Capture One application
    4. I open the tiff file in Affinity Photo and there is a brutal moire pattern in the couch
    5. I open the tiff file in Windows Photo Viewer and there is a brutal moire pattern in the couch
    6. I open the tiff file in XnViewClassic and there is no moire pattern in the couch
    7. I open the tiff file in Capture One 20 and there is no moire pattern in the couch

  3. I have a picture of a busy street from before the covid lockdown, and the same street nearly empty after.  I want to put them in the same image side by side (actually I'd like to do an overlay with a slider effect but the side by side is good enough). The problem is I can see a simple solution for this other than to double the width of the canvas and position the images. Is that it?  I see lots for advanced users to compare the same image before and after but not before and after of a view captured by two different images.

    Bill Bill Bill, hold your horses here...

    Almost every bigger software company ignores Android as a platform for developing software... Not just Serif...

    Show me some links of big software companies that has released software optimized for Android tablets, OK?

    Adobe? Microsoft? Ableton? Korg?  

     

    Adobe Lighroom. How's that sunshine?

    And I've installed it on my Android device. It was free. I'd rather not have, but I have no intention of buying Apple.

    The whole notion that Apple is the best platform for media editing is two decades outdated. It was from before the Pentium chip and had to do with memory segmentation in the old 8086 processors (yes I could write in Assembly language at one time... probably still could but I don't want to).  Memory segmentation led to poor performance. The Motorola processors used by Apple computers at the time didn't have memory segmentation so were faster; better for processing stuff requiring large memory allocation. Like media files. When the Pentium came along Intel fixed the problem and Apple no longer had that advantage. Now Apple uses the same Intel chips that Windows uses. And Android uses plenty powerful processors on the flagship devices.

    There is nothing about Apple that is particularly better than Android devices for mobile and Windows devices for PCs/laptops, except maybe financial returns since their fanboys will pay top dollar for what is essentially average. Which means there are more Android devices because there aren't that many suckers out there with the kind of money required to buy Apple. Which makes a good reason to offer Affinity Photo to those on Android. Because they are smart enough not to want to buy very expensive things that aren't worth the money. And Serif advertises itself as the low cost alternative.

    Any more questions?

    One more important thing: The piracy on Android platform is widely know, and, for developer that can be the easy choice to choose iOS over Android...

    Develope software cost a lot of money, and just now tablet money is where Apple is...

    I think you need to provide a citation for this. I work in software development and follow this type of thing, and what you say is news to me. You sound like an Apple fanboy.
