It’s probably not going to happen for a long time, unless they decide to make it a priority. Was never likely for v2 in my opinion.

mrqasq Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I happily paid for universal license, without even reading what I bought beforehand. I'm so happy I could once again say to Affinity - shut up and take my money. Thank you! StillSneezy, jmwellborn and Dangerous 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Windows, you'll get a prompt, tho. Asking you, if you want to open the original or if you want to create a copy (because once saved in V2 format, V1 apps can't open the file any longer). »A designer's job is to improve the general quality of life.

Grabbed the CC and purchased it without looking at the rest. And so far, I am a light interface user. Because I get headaches from dark mode (yes I do). And the light interface of version 2 is not great. If I may. For the rest it is discovery time. Set all the settings to the previous version. So there shouldn't be a too large learning curve. Anybody else weren't able to download the iPad version? Mine says it is the wrong e-mail. Weird. Edit: It did work. Downloading now. I am very excited though.

VanRies Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Is it me, or are the apps (Mac and iPad) incredibly fast in comparison to the previous version? Ipad apps looking very smooth. Dan C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_Wolf Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Very satisfied with the Affinity suite and surely NOT disappointed! We cannot have it all and some things have to be left to be looked out for in a future release. I would also liked a blend tool which was also on my wish list. But I do understand we cannot have it all. Something has to be left to look forward too. Thank you Serif - Affinity team for the excellent work done! This is a super-great new release. Indeed, something "big" happened today. Chris StillSneezy, Dan C, thedivclass and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfriis Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Saved me some money. Not buying into V2 suite (have V1 licenses for iPad, Windows and macOS). No longer using V1. V2's still too limited for MY use cases. YMMV. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still does not support basic feature of LTR Indic Language 🤐. And yes Serif offer a great price. 😀 They had said pre-v2 on Twitter iirc that this would not be ready yet as type is coded in a way it makes it difficult to implement. So probably will be a bit.

I’ve been using it for a while and for what I’ve done it doesn’t get gummed up or crash, but then I’m not using all its features (although others have). So I’ve not been concerned about starting new projects in v2 rather than sticking to v1 to be safe and personally don’t see a need to load up the old version any more.
