v_kyr got a reaction from Frozen Death Knight in afthumbs - Extracting PNG Thumbnails from .afphoto and .afdesign files ...
Here's a afthumbs.py Python3 script which can be used to extract PNG thumbnail images out of Affinity files.
The afthumbs.py script can be called either by passing over a Affinity file as argument directly ...
... or in an interacting mode just like this ...
If the script does find a PNG thumb image it will extract it and write it into a pngs/ directory!
Here's the afthumbs.py Python3 script for download:
afthumbs.py Have fun!

v_kyr got a reaction from manikandan in File Corrupted
Well, what you see is probably a preview of the embedded PNG thumbs of that file. - To be more precise here, there are 40 PNG thumbs inside ...
... at least that's what my afthumbs tool tells ...
... and concluding from the huge size of those embedded PNGs (all in all 6.81 GByte) ...
... I don't wonder that that file gives problems when trying to reopen.
Why did you attached the file then here at all in the forum?

v_kyr reacted to David in Яuislip in GIMP file exported to Photoshop's PSD format won't import into AD
It's Indexed color which I suspect is stuffing Photo
If you convert it to rgb with Imagemagick
magick Plus42.psd -colorspace rgb Plus42IM.psd
then it opens in Photo
Plus42IM.zip

v_kyr got a reaction from PaoloT in Affinity was not responding on my Mac, I forced quit application, now, AFTER RESTARTING Affinity, the files I was using are now MISSING!!!
Depends on the APh version (1 or 2) and from where bought (Apple Store or Affinity store).
V1 from Apple store:
/Users/username/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/autosave/" V1 from Affinity Store:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Affinity Photo/autosave" Do a MacOS Spotlight search after "*.autosave" file locations!

v_kyr got a reaction from flobnoit in 8 Years Later, Still NO AutoTrace (convert raster image to vector)
Well it's overall not that easy at all to build some outstanding good own tracing algorithm. And most people who are often giving their two cents here in the forum, either way seem to don't know much about bitmap-to-vector tracing in general. - BTW, AI capabilities aren't needed to get and determine some halfway good tracing quality, there are some older tracing algorithms (>= 7 years) which are quality wise still unmatched by nowadays (more modern) implemented tracers.
Comparison of some tracing software ... etc. (we also once compared some of them here in the forum in some older threads) An algorithmic and output quality wise even nowadays still hard to beat vector tracer is VectorMagic. Also the Inkscape's included, by their dev team custom color quantisation etc. optimized Potrace & Autotrace based tracers, when setup and used the right way, do produce good quality results. They just lack some better UI usability.
And Affinity? I doubt they will ever can compete here, since as I already mentioned, developing a good tracing algorithm from scratch is no trivial task at all and reusing something already good existing here is mostly associated with a payment of license fees (for example in order to reuse Potrace in commercial products one needs a specific payable licence)!

v_kyr got a reaction from stokerg in Affinity Photo crashes on start on new Mac mini
Couldn't read the supplied dump file, but the initial error message is usually enough here to suggest, that the internal APh app LINK for the libcocoaui lib might probably have not been restored the right way from the backup.
You can check that when navigating into the above (yellow shown) app folder.

v_kyr got a reaction from walt.farrell in CIELAB D65
NO and you for sure won't find any for cielab, as the conversion D65 -> D50 is already performed internally through their Profile Connection Space for modern ICC profiles. - You will find some for sRGB as iccMAX references instead.

HAPPY ENDING!
I tried to use the search suggestions posted here but none of them worked on my mac. Nevertheless, luckily I found an old copy of my template in perfect conditions.
Thanks everybody for your support and help suggestions. Nice to have a support community on this GREAT Photoshop-alternative, image editing software.
Sincerely,

v_kyr got a reaction from Oufti in Halloween I + II Assets
This time I share here my Halloween Assets I + II set, these assets are mostly vector based silhouettes with a few exceptions. The two sets do contain various things in order to create some spooky Halloween graphics.
The corresponding assets files:
halloween1.afassets halloween2.afassets
You can for example do things like these with those Halloween assets ...
- Have fun at Halloween!

v_kyr got a reaction from R C-R in How do I convert a selection into a vector shape?
LOL, actually I highly doubt that. Since in some own recent tests it didn't come close (in terms of accuracy and overall color recognition & generation quality here) to the for example used >= 7 years old algorithm in VectorMagic.

v_kyr reacted to R C-R in Adding Pixel Layers to Vector Layer With Transparency Gradient Not Applying to Pixel Layer
There are two different places you can drag the layer to so your "whatever" in no way makes it clear which one you are doing.
If you will just post a screenshot of this part of the Layers panel with the parent layer fully expanded, this would tell us what you mean, but you still stubbornly refuse to do even that, so I think I am not going to waste any more of my time with thrying to help you with this. Life is too short for that.
