I've noticed this, as well. What gets me is when I say; double-click a Master Page to edit the contents I get an "Embedded [M]' tab opening to the far right. When finished with my edits and I close the tab, it should return me to the tab from which the object was opened and not the left-most tab as it does now. When working on multiple documents, I often find myself wondering "Where'd this come from,"

Okay, Sorry for going silent but I was unable to worry about this for a time. Is there a good way to uninstall all the affinity apps? I have Publisher from the Affinity Store since beta tests. The Designer I have was from the Apple Store, but I installed the Affinity Store version over it (and it works fine). The Photo app I have was from the Apple Store with the Affinity store installed over the top. This one is giving me the problems and I had to restore the Apple Store app version from Time Machine to get it to run. Should I use a hybrid approach to @V_kyrs directory locations for each app and simply delete all those directories? Being on Monterey I cannot do an erase and install, like the old days, and would prefer to avoid that anyway.

I've tried resetting ALL user settings, then deleting the AppStore version. After installing the AffinityStore version aPhoto will not launch. It either crashes with an crash log or just bounces in the dock then disappears. I gone through all the storage locations listed in a previous post and repeated this same replacement procedure - to no avail. I'd rather not have Designer and Publisher be AffinityStore versions and be forced to use the AppStore Photo. It seems the next step is nuclear and format and re0-install macOS and all apps. (That seems a bit ridiculous and overkill.) What am I missing? To recap: I downloaded Designer from the AffinityStore and installed it over my AppStore version - all runs fine. I download Photo from the AffinityStore and install it over the AppStore version - CRASH. What is the difference between Designer and Photo that one installs and the other does not. Is there any instructions for totally removing the AppStore version? (I've tried repeatedly, obviously I'm missing something.) Thank you to @V_kyrs for the help with directory locations. Thank you all, Joe

I've tried several things to get this running. I launched Photo with the control key pressed and then left the first three options checked and added the las Clear Act Data. The app crashes immediately upon h]clicking the Clear button. I tried it again and this repeated the above only adding the Reset Font Substitutions. Again, an immediate crash upon clicking the Clear button. Restore the Apple Store version to the applications folder from Time Machine and it runs fine! So this leads me to believe there is something wrong with: 1) My copy of the download (which I've downloaded twice and stored in different drives. 2) Photo has different install parameters than Designer and therefore file when trying to replace an Apple Store copy. (I say this because the exact procedure for updating the Apple Store copy of Designer with the Affinity Store copy worked flawlessly.)

I recently decided to give Affinity some more support and bought Designer and Photo from their web store. I already owned Publisher from the web store but had Designer and Photo from the Mac App Store. When I installed Designer everything installed and ran fine. I was able to complete the registration and verification. Unfortunate the same did not happen with Photo. I copied the downloaded file to the Applications directory. When I launched it, I got the open downloaded Apple prompt and immediately upon clicking to confirm... crash and log is posted. I have attached three such log files that came from my different attempts to install it. Steps I took were to drag the downloaded copy over the fresh installed copy. Move the broken app to the trash and re-install. Then I tried re-downloading to a different folder on Macintosh HD, and installing from there. I suspect something went wrong with the conversion from Apple Store to Affinity Store versions, but I don't know how to read these logs. I did go and verify my fonts as suggested elsewhere in this forum, but they all check out OKAY. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My idea for Affinity to complete the suite would be something akin to the defunct Adobe Version Que. I was using Zoom by Evolphin but they dropped Mac support and I didn't want to by a PC for a server. Right now I use the Finder and tags along with the macOS built-in versions and Delta Walker - not a good solution IMO. I would like to not only browse/search for photos, illustrations, and publications (easy with Affinity's common file) but also search for and compare versions. Both graphical and textual comparison would be good. Support for other file formats would be a bonus. I think once the "affinity" portion is done for the Studio, then other formats could be added. ... and let me put my ma,e on the list for beta testing

Big thanks from me too. I can't wait to banish CS6 to the archive.
