Yeah, I have worked support before and this is fairly hands off. With my particular issue it really does just feel like the verdict is "well, too bad". I'm still going to use affinity unless this starts to happen with higher frequency, but maybe I wouldn't have invested in these products if one of the bullet points was "You may lose access to your files sometimes and that is too bad!". Hopefully they fix it in a future update.

@DM1 So using this method it would save over the .afphoto file instead of creating new ones every time?

@Paul Mudditt I cannot send anyone the file, because I cannot access the file in anyway that I am aware of. I also do not own a mac desktop. @DM1 I created the file, put in a few hours of work, then returned to the gallery and now I can't open it. I could have saved a copy before going back to the gallery, but that likely would have been corrupted as well. Or I could have been saving out copies from the gallery as I worked, but that would be a pain to do for every photo. I don't see a way to save .afphoto files out of the "sandbox" unless I'm in the gallery so this situations seems basically unavoidable because of the unconscionable way files save on the iPad. @Dan C 1. I'm using an iPad Pro 12.9" (2017) and it says the software version is 14.2 2. It was saved in 1.8.6 3. It was saved on the ipad itself 4. I'm using iCloud backup, but apparently I would need to wipe my entire iPad to see what is in the backup.... and I don't even know if an uncorrupted version of that file would be in there. Unfortunately, I can't send you the file since I cannot access it. I appreciate everyone's help. I do hope this can be resolved. Thanks, David

Whenever I try to open a particular file in Affinity Photo the app minimizes and when I open it again the initial splash screen is there and it seems like the app has restarted. If I try to save that file the same thing happen. If I duplicate that file the same stuff happens with the duplicated file. I uninstalled and reinstalled affinity photo, but that didn't change anything. There is nothing special about this file that I know of. Just a photo edit the same as all of my others. Is there any way to open this cursed file? Is there any way to export the file without using the app itself so that I don't have to redo everything? Thanks, David

I'm speechless... changing the format name from .cube to .cub seems to have worked. I guess I'll rename all of my LUTs then. Thanks Cecil!

I used to be able to load LUTs from only DropBox, but now I can't even do that. I have tried Google Drive, internal storage, DropBox, and iCloud and none of them work. Affinity Photo is up to date, my iPad Pro (2017) is up to date. I don't have adobe apps on the ipad, I tried restarting the ipad, I tried reinstalling DropBox. The .cube files just remain greyed out. Is there a fix for just... opening a .cube file?
