Developing Plugins for Affinity Photo?

[khair]

Hi,

Is there any information on developing plugins to create effects and export other file formats from Affinity Photo?

As far as I know the plugins for Affinity were all developed for PS against the Adobe SDK https://www.adobe.io/photoshop/. But there are further limitations to what kind of plugin will work in APh, I believe its only the filter type, so think you can't make an export plugin, you should verify that.

Having a community of plug-in developers can really boost a program such as AP. It can help to add features that would otherwise make people look elsewhere. If you read the suggestions on this forum you get a picture of a large reservoir of professionals pulling for Affinity's products to progress to the point where they can be fully viable replacements for Adobe's cartel of apps. Please do what is necessary to fully unleash the community of developers to target AP for plugin development. 

Or else work on greasing the skids for utilizing PSD plugins if that is possible. My top vote would be getting Exr-io or something like it for A Photo.
