App Store compatible app

Post by skipapple »

Hi, has anyone found an app on Apple's App Store that will open older Freehand (3.1 and up) files? Is there one that is usable? I'd like to be able to open older files and maybe just change the fonts.

Also, for creating simple things, I wonder if Affinity Designer is useful or not.
Thanks!

As you can read here, it is a chore to open FreeHand 3+ files: http://www.justskins.com/forums/moving- ... 95638.html

In OSX Mavericks, I have Sheepshaver installed running OS9 and FH3,5,7, and 8. I had to convert hundreds of my old files to FHMX that way. I don't know of any other apps that can open your files. :(


I like Affinity Designer but it doesn't open FreeHand files well at all. Leaves out a lot of objects.
