Awesome! Worked a treat...and after another false start, works on all .afphoto files. Thank you.

afphoto version 2.0.4.1701 - Publisher version 2.0.0 - Windows 10 When double clicking an .afphoto file, it launches Publisher. It does this every time and has become really annoying. Help, suggestions, etc, welcome...other than drag and drop as that is a work around I already use -- when I remember I can't double click (usually when I see Publisher launching).

Unfortunately the fix didn't last long. It has now returned to its original outlined state. 😞

Well that's interesting. I tried it and the outline was still showing up. However, when I changed back to Light Mode, the outline has gone. So thanks for the fix...even if it didn't occur the way you thought it would. 🙂

Kinda hard to miss. It's like that prickle in your sock. Thanks for trying to help.

In-program, all icons behave as they should. It is outside the program that the Publisher icon misbehaves (i.e., taskbar, start menu etc)

No, no change to the icons on the taskbar. This does change when in the program and I click on one of the others, the 'highlight' moves to the chosen program. But the taskbar icon remains as pictured. It never changes, even when I unpin and then pin it again.

Why does my Publisher (V2) icon have a dark grey outline? A minor niggle in comparison to what else is transpiring, but annoying nonetheless. Anyone know how to fix it? I have pinned/unpinned, started/restarted & then pinned/unpinned icon to taskbar, but it remains different to the Photo & Designer icons. OS Windows 10, icons pinned to taskbar.

I guess it largely depends on what you're used to. And the "New" window is the least of it. The other windows that open on top of the document you are working on are a different ball game and are really annoying when they pop up on top of your document so you can't see...as mentioned earlier.

I use all that inner space to name what the preset is for. For example, if you used a site called Intergalactic Shadenfreude which needed a banner of 1063x227, then the space can easily be used to name the site and say what the preset is for (i.e., banner). It could just as easily be listed, as you suggest, thus saving space, but is there really a need since the window automatically disappears the moment you create the canvas/artboard.

Careful what you say buddy, some of us are bloody animals!🤣😂

I guess there's always going to be a tradeoff...as unhappy that can make us at times. Ooo, I love that one too! And the way the HSL covers the image so you can't see what's going on...unless of course you have the Navigation panel open, then you can see what's occurring--in minature. I need new glasses.🧐 Another favourite is the way the layer panel opens on the right side of the screen 95% of the time. Then BANG! Out of nowhere it's open on the left. Really disturbing when you're in the zone.🤪 Thanks for the links. The one about floating panels explains exactly what happened to my studio--I accidentally undocked the entire group of panels. Who knew I was a magician? I can make things levitate without trying.😂

Yes. This is a problem, the need to move one panel to access the full content of another panel. And I guess, this is one of the reasons the Studio couldn't be locked even if there was that capability. But it's annoying to have to do that and often causes unplanned 'rearrangement' of panels. Sometimes inserting a panel into another unintentionally, 'splitting' the main panel, so options of the main panel then sit below the accidentally inserted one. Having to chase them around the UI is time consuming. Less so now that the Preset button is sorted.😂 I guess there is a price for everything. If we want the capability of moving panels around, then we have to expect that they will wander sometimes. Okay, so I just learned there is such a thing as Resource Manager.😆 Obviously not a feature I've needed--yet. And what do you mean...useless icons? Mine opens to "My Presets" and I have nearly filled that 'large area' of which you speak.😄 Not having to recall and enter all those presets is a godsend.

😄 No worries!
