Contact Affinity - plugin developer

[Roberto1972]

Hi,

 

I understood Affinity and FilterForge both finally got in touch with each other, which is awesome.

Now I'd like to abuse this opportunity to let know that Harald Heim from thepluginsite.com emailed Affinity on Tuesday Januari 10th, also for the sake of Affinity compatibility of his plugins.

Hopefully someone from Affinity reading this could double check if Harald's request came through.

 

What I understood from some plugin developers they are mainly interested in (an NFR license and) how to make their plugins being recognized as a 'known' plugin in Affinity. Next to other technical stuff obviously.

 

PS: I noticed some plugin developers and potential (even Photoshop!) users are held back from buying Affinity because there is no trial version available: somehow Serif managed to attract even Photoshop users as the word goes around online that Affinity has some very interesting features making it worth to use Affinity as a complementary product to the workflow of PS obsessed users  :) . Who could have ever imagined that: being able to get any interest of the Adone-only community?

 

Perhaps good to reconsider having an Affinity trial available?

It has been mentioned quite a few times that the Windows trial versions will be available soon. They are not quite ready yet because they are working to eliminate some bugs that were discovered in the current Windows retail versions.

 

Regarding "known" plug-ins it is my understanding that this is something they (Affinity) add to the app when testing shows the plug-in works without any (major) issues. Supposedly, when the app is launched it "phones home" to see if the list of known plug-ins needs updating.
