Not sure where you got the truly from, no Corel Draw has a whole host of advantages over Affinity, but I do understand great things take time to construct, so, being a loyal Serif customer for years now I decided to go the Serif route. "especially if the hope of an importer was truly the only advantage Affinity has for you over Corel Draw". As you clearly point out, in 5 years time it may no longer be relevant, Photoplus and Drawplus nothing more than an unsupported distant memory by then? dpp file (even a stand-alone one would be sufficient) so a loyal user of earlier Serif products does not have to start all over again to create a product they already build that is designed to be re-useable and tailor-able.Īs it seems you are unwilling to devote time to writing an importer, will you at any time be opening developer up to third party plugins? perhaps there is someone else willing to devote the time, if you allow them the opportunity. I, too, hope that Serif sees this as a deficiency in their thinking and development design and creates a file converter for all elements (layers) of a. So this is not a 'solution' nor an answer to the actual question. NONE of these formats preserve the layers so I have to start all over again from scratch if I want to make a modification. I am smart enough to know that I can export my PhotoPlus and DrawPlus photos into any number of formats and import them into Affinity.

This 'solution' does not address the question asked. Now a less complete response to Tony B's response to my question.

APPARENTLY YOU FORUM AUTOMATICALLY SIGNS ONE OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND. WHEN SELECTED 'ADD REPLY' I GOT AN ERROR AND LOST ALL THAT WORK. ARRGGHHHH - I JUST SPENT A HOUR WRITING A POLITE AND COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THE POSTING THAT SUPPOSEDLY ANSWERED MY PREVIOUS QUESTION.
