Support for .af files for images

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but since Affinity is rising as a possible Photoshop competitor especially since it became free, I think it would be a good idea to also have .af files (.psd equivalent for Affinity) to be usable for image textures for those who are switching over

That really depends if it is an open format. Often application specific fileformats are not suited to be exchanged with other software as they require the original application algorithms.

But let’s first see the adoption of Affinity in the industry.

Hmm, that's fair 🙂‍↕️ Hopefully it does take off though, since, at least in my opinion, Affinity serves as a really good competitor to the respective Adobe suite, but hopefully in the future, this will get looked back on then!! Thank you
