[Publisher: Hide picture frames?]

I have a question about designer. It appears there used to be a convert to picture frame option but is has been removed in 1.7. I'm making a template for social media and I want it to be easy for users to swap out the photos I place as placeholders. How can i do that? I tried adding photos with the Inside the selection button but it doesn't seem to swap photos just puts another on top. any suggestions?

Thanks but I can't click the link in the photo you posted.  Still can't see the videos that work.

Where are these videos now because those links do not work.

thank you so i just now saw the file pop up in my search. but when i clicked it i saw this error messaged (see below) so i went to recycle bin and restored everything i deleted from that date i last had access to the file. now none of those images are in the file so idk how its linked but i was able to retrieve the file once i restored.  now my question is how do i find out what its linked to and unlink it. i want to delete clutter from my computer since I'm not using any external hard drive

In Affinity Photo, there is an auto save feature. It may be available in other Affinity applications also. The autosave time is default 300 seconds.
This is under EDIT>PREFERENCE>PERFORMANCE File recovery interval. So every 300 seconds it saves the file.

For Affinity Photo, the file is saved with an extension .autosave and file name is year date time .

In Windows 7, The location is C:\Users\unni\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\autosave
(Unni is my user name. For you, it will be different depending on how the windows is configured)

The AppData folder is hidden. So you have to go to TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS>VIEW in Windows  and enable show hidden files,folders and drives.

Once inside this autosave folder, find the file and copy it and then paste in desktop (for example).
Rename the file by changing the extension from .autosave to .afphoto.
Example : 20180909175347.autosave   TO  20180909175347.afphoto
(For Affinity Designer the .afphoto extension may be different. Look your other saved files for this data.)

Now open the file in the application. That's it !!

If you have MAC OS, it will also have a similar location from where you can recover the file.

Hope this helps !

@unni where do you go to tools>folder options>view at? in affinity program or on the computer itself?
