How do you release master page image on a file page, I want to do this without altering the Master page. I used to able to do this in InDesign, but am unable to find out in APub.

There are a bunch of such file & folder locker tools, which do mostly work with some applyed underneath running encryption/decryption agorithm. One of those (a free one) build-up for a bunch of platforms is for example ...
Thanks, but I have downloaded the Encrypto.app which I am using to easily add a password to folders/files. Thanks for your interest.

Garry, I am going to use a free app (Encrypto) to solve my issue, thanks for your interest.

Why not?
If you can give more details about the situation then we might be able to help better.
I want to prevent other people from accessing my Affinity Photo files, a simple password is want I would like. The Zipped idea sounds an easy way of achieving this, I just cant fine a way to apply a password to the Zipped file.

On Windows (and I assume on Mac OS, too) you can change the file's properties to 'read only'. That way you can open and view a file but you cannot save changes back to that particular file. The file remains unchanged.

I need the ability to prevent viewing the file.

If you don’t want people to be able to open the file then just don’t let them have access to the file.
Simplistic, but not workable in my case.

You answered my suggestion by this. You do not want other people being able to seeing the file's content.
A simple way could be to ZIP the file and use a password.

Great, but how do you apply a password to a zipped file, I have searched but cannot find it.

OK, thanks for the clarification
-
I am sorry Walt, I do not understand your reply. When I say lock, I just want to prevent other people from opening the file, if Affinity Photo does not do it, maybe there is a small app that does.
-
Is it possible to lock an Affinity photo file, I would like to make a quick lock (light security) without to many computer contortions.
-
Walt - great tip, really makes my working of images faster and easier.
-
Terrible brush lag in AP2 made artworking really unpleasant so tried [Preferences]->[Performance] and disable [Hardware acceleration] - well it seems to be working for me.
-
Please do make the layer lock absolute in Affinity Photo, as an artist it causes me endless issues. When concentrating on a complex artwork it is so easy not to notice that you are colouring the wrong layer and you have to revert to where the error occurred, which can be a long way back resulting in lost work - so frustrating!
-
A total shut down and re-boot seems to have cleared the problem for now, but thanks for your support.
-
Just found that another program I use (Fotomagico) which have been using for years also does not respond the 'Command S' save keyboard shortcut, looks like this may not be just and Affinity issue.
-
Not sure I fully understand the 'menu utilities' and what that encompasses, I have not installed any third party small programs like the ones you have mentioned other than a Xerox printer driver.
-
My normal 'Apple' keyboard shortcuts like Command Save and others no longer work in Affinity Photo, they still work in with non Affinity programs. This has happened recently - see X against the shortcut fields in preferences window on attached image.

MEB - This morning I tried moving the Adjustment palette again, this time I left it docked to the left of the working area and it seems to be working. As a right handed person its not what I would choose, but it will do until Affinity fixes the problem - see attachment. Thanks again.
-
Did as you asked, negative result. Tried deleting the palette and opening again, moved it to various locations and redocked and negative again. Is this a general problem with Affinity/Big Sur or a problem across the OS spectrum.
-
As stated previously, it does not work on my Big Sur system, I have to use the menu or the icon at the bottom of the layer palette. I have been informed by AffinitySupport that it is a known issue and will be rectified in the next upgrade, lets hope that is soon. I work swiftly with open palettes and although the workaround is easy enough to do, when you have to do it dozens of times a day it is a pain. See my attached open palettes image.
-
I purchased it from the Apple Store, at the time there was no alternative.
-
How do you go about doing that if you do not have a copy of 1.8.5, I cannot find a download for this older version on the Affinity site.
-
We seem to have established that some of us think the new 'default' double click to get an adjustment dialog to show is not an improvement. In my case even more so as it does not work on my AP, has anyone any idea how I can fix it so it does work?
-
AP 1.9.0 - This new way of opening an adjustment dialog does not work on my Affinity Photo, I managed to get one adjustment dialog (Brightness/Contrast) to do it once, after that is would not do it again. I have gone through all of the adjustments and it does not work at all on any of them.
Also, on the previous version one click on the Adjustment Levels brought up the adjustment dialog, this new system (which does not work for me) requires two clicks before throwing up the adjustment dialog, this is less efficient. However, I will settle for the new working indirect click system if it can be solved.

Walt, sorry if my request was unclear, but you successfully guessed what I wanted to do and I have now done it. Thanks.
