Affinity first has to open up the RAW and turn it into a.afphoto, a process which even in 1.7 takes many seconds for just a single image. That still would be prohibitively slow in comparison to programs which write settings into sidecar or database. They could give us batch processing inside the Develop workspace. afphoto one still couldn't exchange RAW file with settings with anyone else. They could make the RAW workspace non-destructive. So what could Serif do within the current system? Even if your machine could handle this load – as there's no sidecars and no database there no way to transfer settings from one image to the next. There no way to sync editing operations on 20 or 30 RAW files at once with Affinity Photo – a daily demand for many photographers. What works instantly elsewhere would take forever and very likely make your system unresponsive. All operations are performed on an embedded file, which as soon as you press the "Develop" button loses its RAW characteristics. The whole prodedure of editing RAW inside Affinity Photo is totally geared towards editing one file at a time. I'm curious why the sofware architecture prohibits edditing large amounts of RAW files. You all have an opinion on this, right? :o) Thanks to all who already voted! It was great if all the +140 other people who already watched that Poll cast their vote as well. It meant having to have the respective editing app open to browse suitable assets! Even having clones of that browsing module sitting in all three Affintity apps would be very unelegant, programmatically. Having a browsing Persona inside Photo/Designer/Publisher as suggested here is frankly what I considered a very poor solution. But those who need RAW files could use that same tool also for editing large amounts of RAWs in ways which are utterly impossible with Affinity Photo, due to its software architecture. From here you could send the file directly to Affinity Photo / Designer / Publisher. There's other DAM however, which work pretty much like Bridge or XNView and let you quickly browse whatever files you have on disk. Thanks for your vote and opinion comparison with Lighroom as a catalog based program where you first have to import your files into a database is maybe not ideal: That importing process may get perceived as a needless complication indeed.
