What they are at least right with here is, that there are no by Affinity published informations for third party developers (there is no mini code API + doc) on how to extract thumb images directly out of Affinity files. - So third parties have to use OS related service routines here in order to extract thumb images from Affinity files. The later do OS related differ and aren't the fastest direct way to read/get the thumb data out of files.

Yes, poorly worded on my part.

I should have said that they think that the information withheld by Affinity keeps them from achieving 

what ACDsee, NeoFinder, Photo Supreme and others have achieved .

DAM devs and browser builders should humble down and accept the use of system preview services. Not all files need to be interpreted to create proprietary previews.
