Apps playing weird with the finder


Recommended Posts

This is a common issue in all Affinity suite, being Designer the most recurrent offender.

The three apps works very weird and randomly with the finder.

Sometimes they remember what the last folder was, sometimes not. So you must be very careful to where are you exporting or saving the documents, because is a bit random lottery. Sometimes it use the last folder, sometimes it goes to the folder used some documents ago.

Sometimes they add the last used folder to Recent folder list, sometimes not. So you export a document and sometimes the export folder appears in recent folders on system dialogs, sometimes no. Totally random and a big nuissance, specially when you try to attach the file in a mail and the folder doesn't appear on recent folders, and you must search the file the slow way.

When you close documents before quit the apps, there is a uncertainity about finding all documents open again next time you launch the app. Again, totally random, but in this case more, because the documents where closed, ehem, as physically and intentionaly closed! I'm finding reopened documents continually, as if the app could not clear it's in use file or temporary file list list after closing it.

I can't provide steps to reproduce this, as is totally random and it happens simply working with the apps. I tried to find a pattern or a meaning to this, but not, is a totally random issue, as a lack of communication with the finder. Maybe it could be related to working over a network drive (It happens both over AFP and SMB) but again, it fails inconsistently.

If I can give you more info, simply ask.

Cheers!
