Mojave, Catalina and Apple Photos are currently not working, as designed.  I also have problems with iPad Pro and AP USB drive, if that is important to you.  I enjoy AP as a hobby, not a professional, so I can afford to wait for updates, which will follow.

Hi VectorCat :)

The main Catalina issue we're aware of is as Cecil mentioned, when using AP & Catalina we're currently unable to save back to Apple Photos, although our developers are looking to fix this asap.

AFAIK there are minimal other 'OS specific' bugs with Affinity and Catalina, but the forum search provided by Psenda may help here.

This section of our website is due to be updated very shortly and will include Catalina 10.15 in our official list of supported operating systems :)

Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.

If you require urgent assistance, please create a new thread and a member of our team will be sure to assist asap.

Many thanks :)

Is there any new information about Affinity Products and how well they work with Catalina?

 

Thank you!

I just put “Catalina” in the Search box for these forums.  Several entries.  Personally, I don’t see any reason to gum up my iMac with it.

This is true for every OS. It is always up to the user to decide if he needs the latest OS/application to work.

One concern regarding updating the OS is about security updates. 

When Apple ceases to supply security updates I upgrade to a new(ish) OS. That hasn't happened to me in yonks though.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Except that if you buy a new Mac, it probably will not run a macOS version older than the one originally installed on it when you bought it. There are hacks that sometimes make it possible to install an older OS version but since older macOS versions may lack hardware level support for some of the subsystems in the newer Macs, that older OS version either may not boot the Mac at all or cause instabilities or other problems.

Personally, the only reason I would like to run Catalina is for the Sidecar feature, but since my iMac is too old to meet the minimum requirements for that, I have no good reason to install it.

As far as I'm aware, the main issue (and only Catalina OS specific that I can currently recall - although I'm certain there will be a few others) is the 'round trip' saving to Apple Photos. This is still with our developers to be fixed, however we're hopeful that the next beta version (and therefore retail update) should fix this issue for all users - both Catalina and non Catalina users alike!

Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.

My first macOS was March 2019, Mojave.  Always a Windows user, started UNIVAC 1050-II, 1966, my old Dell Studio and monitor were cremated. I jumped on the iMac and 5K monitor.  I agree totally with Dan C, Apple Photos and AP problems.

My first Mac OS was System 7.1, first released in October of 1992, long before Apple switched to Intel CPUs. The first Intel Mac I owned was a 24" 2008 iMac, eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6) but not to Lion (10.7) or beyond because Snow Leopard was the last OS X version to support Rosetta, which allowed Intel Macs to run many PPC apps.

Catalina is similar in that it will not run any 32 bit apps.

Well actually my first Apple OS was the ROM based OS in my Apple II, back in early '79.  Then went to DOS.  Ah remember what it was like to have whopping 16KB of RAM in your computer, which included screen memory.  And another 16K cost about $100.  But when you hit 48K you knew you could do anything without having to worry about running out of memory.  But saving your programs onto an audio cassette was a nightmare.  When the first floppy disk was released I rushed out to get one.  Imagine being able to save 113.75 KB on each disk, it was heaven.  Later I would drool over the hard drive I saw in computer stores, it actually held an unimaginable 5MB, wow.  I couldn't justify it, there was no way I'd ever need 5MB storage.  What a waste to pay what was being asked for something so impossibly huge.

LOL! Back in the heyday of the 'classic' PPC-based Mac era, it did not take me long to almost fill the OEM 230 MB drive in my 'pizza box' style Mac Centris 660AV. I wanted to replace it with a Power Mac 8600 tower, in part so I could add a second aftermarket drive to its free 5.25" bay, but the 8600's were in short supply so I ended up getting a SuperMac S900/200 (a.k.a. the Pulsar 2000) clone instead.

By the time I retired it a few years later, I had added to its OEM 2.1 GB drive two rather pricey high performance 1 GB HD's to it, both connected via a faster aftermarket "UltraSCSI" PCI card for a total storage capacity of 4.1 GB ... & all three drives were close to full. :)

Hello VectorCat,
If you are referring to the problems between AP and Apple Photos playing nicely together under Catalina then, no, this still hasn’t been fixed yet.

I beg forgiveness @Pšenda that my failed attempt to quote R C-R post above failed, one which I do find puzzling that you felt a need to post that it was the only post that did not contributed to Catalina + Affinity.  If you had alternative motivation, be specific.

And my post was about @Gear maker's post about the first Apple OS ... which was in response to my earlier post about my first Mac OS being System 7.1 ... which was in response to your post about your first Mac OS being Mojave ... which was in response to my post about new Macs not being able to run older macOS versions. O.o
