Joachim_L Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Maybe covered elsewhere in the dungeon of this forum? Are there plans do add plugin-support for Designer? I would love to see the plugin for my Mimaki CG-60SR III cutting plotter working with Designer.

Joachim_L Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 The date an official member of Serif answered was in December 2016. Nearly three years ago. Maybe they changed their mind?

Sparkway Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yeah this kind of Plugin Option would be awesome, same for Summa Cut Plotters... Serif could grab a hole bunch of Signmakers around the world, to ged rid of Corel Draw.. Which still has the look and feel from the nineties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideCircle Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hi! In my opinion plugin support is something Serif will have to implement if they truly want to survive in the long run. But unfortunately I get a feeling thet they don't always seem to listen that much to their users and it's also very quiet from them when users mention plugin support... marsjo, Sparkway and Jowday 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkway Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 This could really push them forward in the production companies (not only focussing on designers), for print production and cnc technics... i would love to see this development in this direction... try to keep this tread alive.. just211 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmpessoa Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I'm trying to draw a bit of attention to a very simple API but one that could be really powerful. I believe the more support it gets better the changes we are heard this time.

Tourmaline Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Would like support for the Astute Graphics line of plug-ins! They enhance Illustrator greatly. Sparkway and mackleys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmpessoa Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I would not count with support for any existing plugin for any other app. Adding support for plugins is already hard enough; adding the same support provided by another platform requires an additional layer of code translating what the plugin expects to what the program actually provides and little can be done if there is anything the program cannot/will not support. When plugins are supported by the Affinity suite, I expect nothing different from it supporting their own set of plugins and providers of existing toolsets may choose to port their code or not. But remember once the door is open others may provide similar or even better extensions.

But I guess with plugin support for Affinity Photo a larger area of potential customers can be attracted. But there is a market for all those having e.g. a vinyl cutter and are forced to use either some weird applications or plugins.

just211 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Being in "day 1" of my testing period it is pretty clear to me that at least "Photo" and "Publisher" would be capable of replacing the current used A-suite. In case of "Designer" I do have concerns because of a Roland Plugin that I have to use on a daily base with Illu.

Hopefully as Affinity development continues and it becomes more popular, plugin makers will want to make their plugins compatible with Affinity Photo and work with our developers to achieve this. Fontself, a plugin to create fonts in Photoshop and Illustrator has contacted Serif back in 2016 itself. Yet, we didn't hear anything +ve from Serif! It's quite sure that there will be more plugin-makers who're interested to extend support for Affinity products.
