icloud files no longer open in affinity photo

[Brooke H]

previously, when i saved a document to the icloud, i could go into the icloud files system and click on that document. it would then open back up in affinity photo. This no longer happens. now i have to use the import function, which creates duplicates when i try to save again and completely messes up my workflow. There is no way to set affinity photo as the default opening software for this file type, for some reason. Is this a problem on affinity photo's end? Is there any way to resolve this?

Hi Brooke H,

Welcome to the forums

We haven't had anyone else report this if possible could you provide a screen recording demonstrating the issue?

Thanks

Hi Callum, this bug has been reported (in different ways maybe) in several threads. Basically iOS no longer links .afphoto or .afdesign files to the related affinity apps. As shown in attached screen recording the file does not open in Designer as it should do.  Same issue exists in Photo.

Ah yes I've just found where this is logged in our system it should hopefully be addressed soon.
