Recommended Posts

Hello to all.

How to add your own favourite image banks in the Stock sub-window?
Thank you for your explanations.

Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?

Hi @Pyanepsion,

this is not possible at the moment. But it could be a feature request.

From my own practice I don't mind to use a browser interface and download images from there. But I do not use this very often and I understand that an integrated solution can be useful.

I think one of the problems is the image banks either get bought out and or they change their terms of usage, Unsplash began demanding licence fees for their API so they were subsequently removed from Affinity's Stock Panel, this happened in the version 1.10.1 update: 

If you added an image bank to Affinity, who is going to pay those fees should the image bank you added do what Unsplash have done?

For this reason I doubt making a feature request will get you very far.

What Affinity lists by default is fine, but I would actually like to add more links to image banks, paid or free, to have them directly at hand.
