By the way, all files,no matter on which drive they are located, now display the proper thumbnails. I have not tested this across the network but Im sure if I log into this desktop from another machine and browse the files, they will display the thumbnails. https://www.advancedinstaller.com/msix-troubleshooter.html Above is the site where you can download the MSIX Trouble shooter and instructions

Problem has been solved by uninstalling all versions USING THE WINDOWS UNINSTALLER and then reinstalling Version 2 (MSIX) . Do note that the installation requires updated Microsoft Visual C++ files (image included). If you are still having issues download and install the MSIX Trouble shooter and follow the instructions. It will analyze the MSIX, will determine dependencies (how I found I did not have the required C++ files installed) and will make the process simple and easy Note the version of the MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ files required for the MSIX Affinity software to install properly. to recap: Uninstall all versions but use the Windows 10 uninstall. run the MSIX trouble shooter with Administrator rights and follow the instructions. It will determine if you need any dependencies isntalled. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ packages if needed. reboot run MSIX troubleshooter again and let it install the Affinity V2 MSIX file This should solve any problems and restore viewing the thumbnails (do not forget to set that in Affinity preferences (save thumbnail with file MUST be checked) Make sure your Folder View also allows use of the thumbnails

I am having same problem, no thumbnails visible. I have installed the Beta and Version 1, rebooted computer and issue did not resolve. I have cleared the thumbnail cache, rebooted, and issue is still there. thumbnails for all other applications show but no thumbnails for aphoto files. Is this a known issue> ? Any workarounds? I recall the same issue happened with Version 1.0 but was eventually resolved. thank you laz

Well, here we are again...no thumbnails visible in Explorer from Version 2 of Affinity Photo...installing the Beta and reinstalling Version 1 did not solve the issue. And yes, I have set Folder view properly. Any ideas? Is this a known issue?

Jesus Christ...I spent 1 hour trying to work this issue out and it's something as simple as disabling CapsLock....why dont you savvy guys write a small handbook of 'little' details like this for us poor users....

I am having the same plugin issue with Affinity 2 (after the latest update) I point the 'add' to the correct location \on the drive where my plugins are located and they show (upon reload of Affinity) as 'working' but when I attempt to use the\m they are greyed out and unavailable. I still have Affinity version 1 running and the plugins function properly with that version. HELP

I have reset my wireless mouse by removing the battery and for some reason this seems to have solved the problem. at least give it a try

this happens to me while using a mouse in Windows 10, Affinity Photo V2. the circle denoting size of brush disappears and only the cross hairs are left leaving me unable to determine the size of the area being painted etc. Any fixes?

Same issue...the brush remains a cross-hair and I can see the brush changing size in the properties panel but the cross-hair remains unaltered in size. The issue happens intermittently

Please look at the thread on 'fixing the MSIX issue. I found the solution (at least to my issue) by using the msix troubleshooter which let me know that I did not have the updated VC LIB package installed. Once I updated the LIB package, the installation went without any problems laz

I tried all the 'fixes' listed in the forums and this is what worked for me: You probably do not have this updated VC LIBS package installed which is the following (with download link) Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102159 download the package if you have the Microsoft App installer enabled, clicking the downloaded appx file will install it. check to make sure the VC LIB file was installed by looking at your list of installed programs (Settings, Apps, Apps and features) as shown in image file below: REboot your machine and then try installing the Affinity msix file if you cannot install it with the method above, then try using Powershell as described in the article below (this is the method I used) make sure you run Powershell 'as an administrator) https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-install-unsigned-appx-app-package-using-powershell-in-windows-10 I hope this helps but I still think Affinity should create a traditional loader for those who simply want to use the software and not have to go through all these hoops (I spen the better part of my morning, not doing post processing, but figuring our how to get this to work laz

I also cannot seem to be able to install the package despite having the latest Windows 10 version (Windows 10 x64 Professional V10.00 Build 19044 ) , the App installer available and my Windows Update enabled. Please, I love your software (Affinity Photo) but I dont need to be a software enginerr mucking around in the Registry to be able to run photography software. Please, Please, please, create a traditional installer as if now I am unable to run software (Affinity Photo V2) that i have paid for and was looking forward to using the software laz Please, do not suggest 'solutions' from the other thread, not every solution works in every environment and I have already tried those with nil success (like the on changin a value in Registry, using the MSIX Trouble shooter, etc SOLVED BY INSTALLING UPDATED CV LIB PACKAGE - SEE OTHER THREAD
