Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 15, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 15, 2020 From 3 pm GMT on Thursday 24th December 2020 until 9 am GMT Monday 4th January 2021 the Serif company is officially closed. There will be some light coverage of the support channels during these 12 days, but most staff are taking time off whilst the offices are closed. Customer Service and Technical Support tickets will take priority and queries about bugs and beta builds will be picked up in the New Year. Unusually, the way the year has panned out a number of staff have not been on holiday for obvious reasons so some are also taking annual holiday now before this company closure, and so it is fair to say that from this week there will be fewer staff here on the forums. Please bear with us if you contact us during this time and potentially for a short time after the annual closure, whist we deal with any backlog. Thank you in advance for your patience and we will make every effort to address your queries in the shortest time-frame possible.

Chris26 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hoping you all have great wine, good cheese, and plenty of laughter with a dash of silliness this christmas. Patrick Connor and Dazmondo77 1 1 Quote Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed. Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener. Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I feel torn because I keep hoping the items they've added since 1.8 are not all that are going into the 1.9 RC. I hope against hope there are improvements to the boolean operations, pure vector brushes, text warp, vector eraser and blob tool, and blend tool are also coming out in 1.9 that are secretly being finalized and they need more time after the holidays to accomplish this. I know it's a far-fetched hope, but it gets me through. If I'm wrong, and they continue the pace of adding one or two tools critical for our professional autonomy from Adobe with each release; then it's going to take another decade before Designer can stand on it's own - and that would be depressing Asfak Mahmud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
