Is it safe to upgrade to Sonoma on Mac Mini M2

[JenPeepshow]

Hi everyone,

I am currently using the Affinity Suite 2.42 on my Mac Mini, Ventura 13.6.6. Is Affinity supported if I upgrade to Sonoma?

Are there any deal breaking bugs? Quite nervous to upgrade...

Thanks in advance

Many of us are using Sonoma now. I'm having a macOS-wide issue with spell checking but I'm not having any Sonoma-specific issues with Affinity. There were some issues when Sonoma was in public beta but those were fixed a few versions ago.

I updated my Mac Studio M1 Max from Ventura to Sonoma 14.4.1 a couple of weeks ago.

No deal breaking bugs.

The only issue I'm having is that once in a while with certain files Affinity Photo doesn't relinquish all the RAM it grabs when I quit the program.

But the way I use the program pushes it harder than most people are likely to push. These are files with >75 layers, and they use a large percentage of the 64GB in my machine.

Hi Nick,

thanks for the feedback. I had seen some posts regarding the pdf export being bugged, have you experienced this?

I have not heard of any Sonoma-specific export issues.

Thanks so much for your advice, I'm going to take the plunge!

I haven't (because I don't export PDFs), but even if this were an issue, all you'd have to do is right-click on a file in the Finder and use the Quick Action to convert it.

My prediction is that you'll be fine with Sonoma - which isn't to say that the version before 14.4.1 wasn't a total mess, because it was!
