Regarding ACDsee I was able to get Walt's batch file work around to work. Instead of typing out the name of the bat file, enter *.bat and then select it from the file list. Only difference is I'm using the 2022 version and it looks like your using 2023.

Same problem. I have spent the past several hours attempting to get my command lines that worked fine with Affinity Photo V1 to work with V2. I have several programs that allow me to launch an external editor and none of them like the new alias system. Specifying %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe or C:\Users\Dan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe ends with an error message that says "AffinityPhoto2.exe the file can not be accessed by the system". I can launch V2 at the command line with C:\Users\Dan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe or just AffinityPhoto2.exe so I am not sure what to think. Is Walt's batch file work around the only solution or am I missing something?
