Thanks for your reply. I can well-understand this, so I'll plough through the sections and download each. I bought the book because I'm not especially fond of videos or e-books, and I like to be able to flip easily back and forth to refer to specific topics or parts of topics, which I mark in the book with book darts. I'll organise my samples storage on this PC to mimic the chapters, and that should do it. On reflection, having a mass of examples to sort out into folders is probably going to be more arduous than doing it one-by-one.

I bought the Photo workbook when it came out, and use it for reference often. However, I haven't as yet stepped through the tutorials, using the example files. It's about time I did so, and now have more disk storage and a faster PC to work on. I'd therefore like to mass-download all the example files (which I think are mostly zips) so that I have them all to hand. My question, therefore, is this: is there any central point to see a full list of example files which I can then select and download with my browser's Bulk Downloader extension? This is rather than doing this chapter by chapter.

I too would like a Rename option in Batch Processing. I download RAW and JPEG files from camera to a dated folder. I can then process the RAW files, open them, work on them and then save them as .afphoto files. Then, when I come to batch-process them to JPEGs, they will by default be processed into the same folder and thus overwrite my original camera JPEGs. I do not want this to happen, nor do I want to create yet another subfolder into which to process the .afphotos. A facility to specify a renaming mask for the JPEGs, either as an Affinity option, or as part of the Batch Process, is very desirable.

I would also like the option to have Undo/Redo buttons on the toolbar. As a Windows user, I have a number of other applications (word processing, to name but one) which need me to review changes to a document/file/spreadsheet/whatever. I may then need to reverse (Undo) an edit, and a toolbar button allows me to do this quickly and easily with one mouse action (rather than combinations of keyboard keys or pulldown menu options).

I have found this desirable feature lacking, and have been recommended to post in the Feature Requests section of the Forum, from my original post here:- https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/32106-saving-multiple-edited-files-as-afphotos/.

Thanks for the information. I thought that might be the case. It's no great problem unless I've opened a series of photos for edit, when I find that I'm losing track of which I've saved and which I haven't. Of course, the overwrite message alerts me immediately if I'm re-saving, but what would help a lot is if the current or focussed tab colour or tone were very different to the other tabs, rather than a slightly paler grey.

I'm a complete novice with Affinity Photo, but I've not been able to see an obvious answer to my question, which is this. I've opened 6 or so .jpg files and edited them. They are listed as tabs above the working window. I now want to save them all as .afphoto files (a sort of "Save All As" action). This is a batch job, and I have looked at the use of the New Batch Job command. However, when I use this, and look at the Sources/Add window, this opens to a folder on disk, which does contain the photos I already have open and have edited, but also some others. How do I save all the files I currently have up on screen and which I've edited, as a single action rather than saving them one by one? In effect, how can I batch my edited files from the screen, into a batch process and then to disk, without looking at folders on disk.
