Like many other beta users, I just bought it! Great work!

I did both the terminal command and relaunched the Finder. Still won't show anything else but the Photo icon for .afphoto files, nor does preview (with the spacebar) work either.

I don't see any previews even after having done the terminal command - only see the Affinity Photo icon. What could be wrong?

No, it's a very simple file with just 3 layers, no groups... 146 Mb .aphoto file (and I've got 8Gb in my iMac)

Tested this, and deleted all cached info with Ctrl+option key... seems faster, but cannot be totally sure. What other speed-up tips are there?

I remember now that I 'cured' a similar performance issue around 2 months ago. Will try tomorrow and report back. FYI, it's not document-specific, and it did not happen with the same doc earlier... could be two releases back.

Latest release is noticeably slower than the previous one, especially in redisplaying changes... You can see it displaying rectangle after rectangle with the change in question applied. It's not lagging drawing or moving a brush or something like that, just the display of changed content, regardless of size of file or other external factors. Latest Apple updates are all installed to my iMac 2011 vintage, 8Gb memory. Known issue?

...and I've been looking for this for ages! Thank you!!!

Hey guys, I was testing this and it seemed to work quite well. However, opening the mask again (Refine mask) and messing around a little bit with the values suddenly caused the spinning ball and about a minute later AP crashed. Anyone seen anything like this before? I haven't had it crash on me for months... :(

Billtils, a good summary.... and as I said, for the time being I will stay with Aperture** as my photo manager. My use referenced photos with a reasonable sensible (date-based) folder structure, so I feel it shouldn't be too difficult to move to another option, but which one? Regarding point 4) I am waiting for them.... :) ** and yes, I have several backups...

As an Aperture refugee I can sympathise... but clearly AP does match and supersede Aperture's capabilities with regards to editing. The UI is (wildly) different though... What I am looking for is something to replace Aperture's management capabilities as well, not immediately, but medium term. Any suggestions? LR (which I don't like, not only for the subscription policy)?

Ditto... would be nice.

Like some other guys I use AP from Aperture and it works pretty well. My only gripes are with masks (can't see what I've done, unclear how to create and use... not sure what is best practice in this regard with AP... anyone?), and the lack of a decent printing dialogue.

Likewise, this is clearly broken... :(

This is fine for adjustments... but how about filters? For instance I'd like to sharpen something and then change my mind? This may be the case for making all filters into layers as well.... :)
