Best regards!

It does, but I prefer to create the shapes there and then export it to SVG.

Best regards!

Having a shape builder tool, together with a Knife tool and a tracing feature for v2, will be a dream. But I am afraid I'm asking too much.

Don't worry, I can live with that. Even without some of these features, I am sure V2 will be an interesting release.

Kind Regards,

I would seriously pay for V2 just to get some of the major bugs fixed.  Especially those with no work arounds like the broken live filters.

Version 2 of Affinity Designer will load Affinity version 2 files as well as load Affinity version one files. 😜

Sorry I couldn't resist

I think somebody just has been sniffing some Nepeta cataria.

It must be exciting for all of you after a massive 9 long years of waiting! I wonder if you will get some of the features that the rest of us have had for over 20 years??

No you are right it's not. It's a difference between versions, presented as a leaked feature for comic effect

[N.P.M.]

Rather saw some spoilers but mostly see some spoiled.

October feels like the perfect month for the release of V2. Autumn is in full swing so people won't be outdoors all the time and it's before the holidays so people can get V2 as a gift from someone.

Interesting discussion this, especially about whether their business model is sustainable.

It appears to be perfectly sustainable to me without any need to even consider subscription or charging for updates between major versions. The market out there for this price level of product is vast, (potentially bigger than for Adobe simply because it is lower cost).

I doubt they are running out of potential customers, or anywhere close. And each time they add more features or make the apps more powerful, that opens up another raft of potential customers.

Just look at how often new forum members appear, and remember, like with other apps, the large majority of users will never register for the forum.

Going by Serif's last submitted accounts, they are a very healthy, bouncy little company! 

And so they should be.  They have a good, solid history behind them.

I and my piggy bank are definitely looking forward to V2 without complaint.

My work is based on this trio - Affinity software are damn good at what they do. Some of the feature are so mind blowing and make life so easy so hats off to Mark & his team for such a forward thinking software. Keep 'em coming...!

It looks that there is no more apple event for the Mac or iPad this year according to Apple follower Mark Gurman. So looks like the way is open for the 2.0 release in oktober😉. Anyhow, I enjoy version 1 a lot, so it only can become better!

True! I hadn't looked at it that way, which possibly goes to show I'm not very business-savvy.

I was frankly a bit worried about the sustainability of their pricing and still am not quite sure about that. I got the whole suite last year at a ridiculous discount (COVID special).

It now appears that I may be making the full switch, including unsubscribing from A****, sometime in October.

Quite right.

To others here....worry not, Serif are OK, thank you all for your concern. Those who want to throw more money at us (for V2) will have to wait a little longer, but new Version 1 customers are always finding us.
