Please modernize app updating prcoess

[iamjsterling]

I keep hoping, praying with every update that your suite of apps will allow me to update the app from WITHIN the app rather than sending me to download it.

Every time I am sent to a download link feels like a time machine to 1994.  This is literally one step short of sending me to a BBS to download  product patch.

PLEASE modernize this - it's woefully and unnecessarily tedious.

I truly love your software, but this alone is becoming so annoying to me that I'm considering dropping your apps.

Hi iamjsterling,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Thanks for your feedback. We already do this on macOS and do plan to implement it on Windows as well (for users who purchased the applications through the Affinity Store). Those who purchased the apps from the Microsoft or Mac App Store can already update the apps through the app store update mechanisms.

Please consider changing your Forum username to something else to prevent spammers from harvesting your e-mail (now done by moderator). To do it go here and set a new username or click your username in the top right of this forum's page, select Account Settings, click on the Display Name link on the left and change/set a new username (on the right).

MEB, It may be better to tag a forum admin (like me) into these threads as "New Members" do not have the rights to change their username, a privilege they get only when become full members (4 posts and 5 days). This block aims to stops spammers changing their username after their first post is approved.
