jreisman Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I'm noticing both v1 and v2 of all three apps appear to be installed. The v1's are much larger files (Gig+) while v2 is much smaller (e.g., v2 of photo is 119mb while v1 is 1.06gb). Is the v2 app an incremental addon application or are both somehow installed, each a separate application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 You have both installed, and they are completely separate. If you're on Windows, I just think it does not show the size of V2 correctly.

jreisman Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Thanks Walt. I don't know if any upgrade that leaves the old version in place. Kinda silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us want to keep both versions available for various reasons. Those reasons have been explained in a few other topics. jmwellborn 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are separate applications. And if V1 were automatically replaced, there's be no way to migrate things from it when you run V2.

jreisman Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thank you Walt and R-C-R. I never really thought about that. I’ll research the reasons you reference. Have a great day! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAppsUser Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Not silly at all. It was my first thought when considering risking money and a tonne of artwork going for version 2. While apps are at such an early development (v1-2), upgrading is a deeply risky act. An app at version 4 has settled down in the fundamental structural ways, and is what it is. Earlier than this, and there can be big consequential structural changes. In my view, if the direction the apps have taken in v2 is still plagued by some big holes in Serif's grasp of professional workflows and concepts, then I go elsewhere. My decision is that I'm willing to back serif on a v1 to v2 leap, with high hopes the huge potential is being realised. BUT ONLY IF the risk of being without any access to the v1 files I've built up is zero. Thanks to @walt.farrell and @R C-Rthe risk has been clarified as zero, so I'm happy to support Serif one more time. jmwellborn and walt.farrell 2 Quote - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Words are crude implements, difficult to get perfect, easy to get tied in knots with, and often - usually - misunderstood, which is why 'tolarence' is the best word of all.
