it looks like it

Also strange is that the documents info window shows the icon correctly. Only in the finder and only with affinity apps, a blank icon appears instead.

Wrong. If no thumbnail preview is set for documents, the app document icons must be used. As it always was before 2.5.6

This is so annoying!!!!! And no solution in sight whatsoever. Would an update to Mac OS 10.15 maybe solve this? I do not like to risk this. My Mac is running fine - this nerving Affinity bug is about the only problem I have. From my experience, if I update with the hope to solve this, I will probably get a ton of other problems and who knows if it even solves the Affinity bug.

Mac 14.7.3 Af Designer 2.6 Sync styles has again ceased to work correctly: I apply saved styles to a new drawn path, then I click the green gear button for "syncing" these settings to become the standard. Next path I draw, has no style again. No matter how often I try, my styles do not become standard. I remember this has happened in the past. Then you fixed it, now its not working again.

Now updated to 2.6 The bug is still there. I am so frustrated!!!

While we are at it, I also noted that affinity documents with labels in finder loose their labels when saving them again.

Thanks. So when I understand you correctly, developers changed something in order to make app icons correctly work in Sequoia, but it messed things up in Sonoma, obviously. Well, I will see. I hope to upgrade to Mac OS 15 soon. ...but you know how it goes; every update you hope for something to get fixed but get a bunch of new bugs instead 😅

This is how I always had it until Affinity came with the update 2.5.6 (Thumbnails on for afPhoto, thumbnaisl off for afPublisher and afDesigner) Now I must deactivate finder-option "show preview icon" to at least identify af documents, but loose the photo previews Or let finder-option "show preview icon" activated, see the photos but no visual identification for af documents, which makes no sense at all

By the way, thumbnail icons are not useful for layout pages from publisher or designer, their content is usually too small to identify in a list of documents in the finder. Thumbnails really only make sense for photos where there is usually one single image over the whole icon size.

That is exactly the problem. Without "Save thumbnails with documents" the affinity apps have always and still must save a document with its affinity document icon, not a blank one, as if the document is not affiliated with any application. And no, saving it again now does still not solve this. The icons stay blank, also for new documents.

I just remembered another indicator that points to Affinity, because the icons worked all well exactly until after my update to Affinity 2.5.6 - instantly after that, all Affinity icons disappeared.

Ups I just found out that I did confuse Feedback with Reports and did in fact not yet post it there. So I did just now. Because again I hoped to solve it when I did the Mac OS update to 14.7.2 today, but still nothing.

Mac OS 14.7.2 Affinity 2.5.6 and 2.5.7 Affinity Document icons are not shown anymore, no matter what I do. I already used any procedure to delete the Mac OS icon cache, also made the OS update. Nothing solves this. I always need Affinity icons for afDesigner and afPublisher. Only for afPhoto I use preview icons. Only this way I have a good overview over my amounts of documents. I can change finder folders to not show preview, ONLY THEN I get the Affinity icons, but then I have no preview of the others. This started right after the update to Affinity 2.5.6 This bug is incredibly annoying. I already posted this in feedback and suggestions. (I thought I had posted it here in bugs but found today that I confused it with feedback).

That is what I did first, long before posting it here. But it seems nobody is looking at bug reports.
