Hello Dan C. I had recently clean-installed everything on my mac, but had unwittingly installed V1 Affinity apps. I just installed the V2 apps and it everything is working as it should. Thanks!

I am suddenly unable to open a file I last worked on in 2020. Instead, I'm met with the message in the screenshot.

I would love to be able to drag any image (jpg, png, tiff, etc.) from DevonThink 3 into an open Affinity Photo, Designer, or Publisher project without a text layer being created instead of the expected image layer. If I drag an image from DevonThink 3 into any of the above mentioned Affinity apps in order to create a new project from that image, it works just fine. However, when I try to drag subsequent images into that project, a text layer is created instead of an image layer. Yes, copy and paste is a work around (sigh), but in my workflow, I am used to dragging images from DevonThink 3 into any other editing apps without issue. It seems like this should be an easy tweak, considering the initial image dragged to create a new Affinty project works fine.

Yup, responded to your post. Copy and paste does work, thanks. I was responding to R C-R's post about the image files I've tried.

Copy and paste actually does work. I guess I can do that instead. Thanks.

I can't drag JPEG, PNG, BMP, or TIF. Those are the only ones I've tried. They produce empty frame text when dragged in Affinity Photo and Designer.

Thanks for the quick response. I am able to drag images from DEVONthink into the following apps: Word 16.16 PowerPoint 16.16 Apple Motion 5.4.1 Hype 3 Logoist 3 Gimp 2.10 PhotoShop CC It would be great, in my workflow, to be able to do the same with Affinity Photo and Designer. Draggable_Image.m4v

I've recently begun using DEVONthink Pro Office as my image database. Upon trying to drag any image files (png, jpg, gif, etc.) into Affinity Photo 1.6.7 from DEVONthink I found that I could not do this easily. Instead of the dragged image creating a new pixel layer in my project, a new text frame layer was created instead with no sign of the image. So, (1) I have to drag the image out of DEVONthink onto my desktop and then, (2) drag it into my Affinity Photo project. This should be a one-step process.
