By AdamW, September 21, 2018 in Report bugs in Publisher beta on Windows. Any problems actually using this version please make a new topic in this forum and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. In fact the filename hasn't changed since the first public beta, it's always been. Sep 9, 2018 - Affinity Publisher is a publishing program for Mac and Windows that allows you to create single- and multi-page documents. ![]() I just wish they would get on with it. Like others, I purchased Designer and Photo expecting Publisher to follow, but 'NO'. I have been a Serif user since PagePlus3 and now use X9 to produce, among other things, our parish magazine. For me, a suite of compatible programs is essential but Serif seem to be doing all they can to drive me, and doubtless others, away to what I will call the dark side. How to get winrar free. ![]() Come on Serif, let's at least get one complete suite in place before you start expanding your client base. For years there was only the 'PLUS' programs available in Windows and I would suggest that with the Windows user base this was a very profitable and limited line. Now that they have moved into the Mac arena they appear not to care about the needs of their former supporters. Pushed back until the end of 2017? How simply ridiculous.

Hello Yogi9409, Unfortunately, you are wrong. This SerifPlus line was actually not profitable at all. That's why the decision was made to start a new product Affinity. If you search these forums a bit you will find that (by their own admission) the new line is at 10 times as much profitable and that was even before they decided to develop the Affinity Products for windows. Another reason to not develop the SerifPlus line any longer was a very old code-base, meaning, too much effort would have to be spent to modernise it, so better start from scratch. And so the decision was made to start afresh. Everybody is a bit impatient regarding the Publisher but there is nothing we can do except wait. For years there was only the 'PLUS' programs available in Windows and I would suggest that with the Windows user base this was a very profitable and limited line. Multiple times in the Affinity forums the staff have implied that maintaining the Serif Windows product line is no longer profitable, which is probably why they started developing the Affinity line. They have mentioned that it uses an entirely new code base, designed to significantly improve responsiveness & to use fewer system resources compared to other similar apps (including the Serif ones). Tony Brightman, head of Serif Labs, said in an article in Affinity Review #1 (which apparently is no longer available?) that it started as a research project headed by senior developer Andy Somerfield (who sometimes posts comments here) & that 'The aim of the project was to create a memory management system capable of high-end photo editing on an iPad with only 80MB memory available to the App.” The project was a success & eventually resulted in the release of Affinity Designer for Mac.
