.aco and .pat files

[Darcy101]

Hi Guys 

Just a quick question is there anything in development for installing .ACO  Swatches from Adobe products into Designer, Photo and Publisher also the ability to import .pat  files the latter not to  concerned about. 

.aco would be a game changer for many companies considering the jump to Affinity.

Many thanks

I would also find it very useful if Designer & Publisher could import ACO swatches.

It would be good to see a response on this request / suggestion especially as it was originally raised in July last year. Even if it's a "Sorry, not at this point in time"

Serif generally does not disclose their future plans. And therefore they generally do not respond in this section of the forums unless they need to ask a question to clarify the request, or unless the user making the request has misunderstood how the Affinity applications work.

Other than that, the only possible responses would be:

• No. (which they do not like to say)
  or
• Possibly someday, but we can't predict when.

Requests they want to include could happen quickly (if they happen to be working in that area and the request is simple and compatible with existing functions) but more likely could take several years, if they ever do appear. And in those intervening years something else could happen that would change their plans and further delay it. So, generally, they just say nothing. This part of the forums is for us to provide input to Serif's planners; not for them to provide feedback to us.
