I'm on Mac, using Affinity Designer 1.6
One thing these files have in common is they have multiple PDFs placed inside the Affinity Designer document. I'm using Affinity Designer to import and annotate PDFs of wireframes that were created in Sketch.
I should correct my earlier post: previously, I thought I couldn't open the files anymore. It turns out that the files do open — it's just that it takes my new MacBook Pro 30 minutes to open a 33MB Affinity Designer file. My fix was to split the Affinity Designer files in half. It's not ideal. I mean — Affinity should be able to handle large file sizes.
Thank you!
