For some reason, and for a long time now (months at this point), when i have Affinity Photo installed on my ipad, it steals the file associations for .afdesign files away from Designer. The icon shows as the purple icon for designer files, and if i tap them to open them, they open in photo. If i delete Af Photo, the Designer files return to having their proper blue icons and open in designer, but if i reinstall Photo, they revert back to opening in the wrong application. I've attached a screenshot of my iCloud drive files on my iPad showing .afdesign files with purple photo icons. It's a weird bug for sure. I've tried removing all files from the icloud folders, deleting the icloud folders, reinstalling the apps and recreating the icloud folders by saving new files in the apps, but photo still takes over afdesign file associations on ipad. Desktop is obviously unaffected.

Affinity Designer documents open in Affinity Photo, not in Designer, when opened from the Files app on my iPad. I am using iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 3rd generation, iPadOS version 13.6.1. Can I correct this?

The badge for folders on my Mac iDrive do not line up with the proper app images. The Affinity Photo Badge is used for the Designer Folder. Any ideas on how to rectify this? Is this a bug?

Hi! i have an issue with the iCloud folder of Affinity Designer on my iPhone. I use Affinity Designer, photo and publisher on Mac OS and save my files on the iCloud folders, no problem on the Mac OS side. When I go in the file app on my iPhone, the iCloud affinity designer folder is nowhere to be found. if I go in my apple id iCloud settings on my iphone, I can see that that I have 2 affinity photo folders saved on the cloud (the first is the correct photo folder with .afphoto files, the second is the designer with .afdesigners files in it, yet labeled a affinity photo folder) I tried deleting boths, starting from scratch the 2 iCloud folders, no luck Hope someone can help! Thanks!
