Why do I have two versions of Affinity Designer?

[awakenedbyowls]

I bought some new brushes and have been playing around with creating my own brushes

Now I've got some saved files from the past day opening up in AD 2.4.1 on two different looking versions of AD showing up as slightly different looking icons on the taskbar with different sets of pixel brushes showing and I have no idea what the hell is going on

Does anyone have an idea what might have happened here? Attached is a screen shot of the two icons showing on the taskbar for basically the same program and the two different looking versions of AD that I have open now

I just realised one of them is V1 - but I didn't think it looked as much like V2 or I don't remember it like that? I did initially think this was what was going on though but the interface looked more like V2 (I can't really remember what V1 was like now)

Maybe because these brush sets I bought the other day were designed in V1 and somehow (I don't know why) I've ended up working on V1 again without realising?

I think I've figured out what might be going on - I was opening files I thought were .afdesign files but were actually .afbrushes files

Still don't know why one of them was opening up V1 though?

I'm sure this OS is designed to mess with your head
