Hi, I am new to affinity for about two weeks. Today I was exporting some photo's to be printed and after the third one i received this message: "An error occurred while exporting to : ~/.../../photo.jpg Metadata could not be embedded." The file does not export so i have no jpeg. I am able to save the file in Affinity format no problem. I have done this from both "file -> export" menu as well as the export persona. A couple of points: 1. I never left the application between a good export and the failed export. 2. I have permissions to write files in that directory (mac el capitan) 3. I have plenty of free space. 4. It happens on all photo's now regardless if they were in affinity or not. 5. I have since closed all photo's exited and restarted. Same error on all photo's i try. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
