Edit in Photo... opens Photo with default interface

Recommended Posts

If Photo is not running and opened by selecting 'Edit in Photo...' under the File in Designer (v1.7.3.481) menu it opens without any preferences. If Photo (v1.7.3.481) is already running it maintains preferences. Maybe this has always been the case, if so is there a way around it?

Please clarify what you mean by "without any preferences".

It should open the same way Photo would open any time it starts up, and does, for me.

Hi Jonopen,

I've tried this myself, and it is working correctly. My docked toolbar and customised UI were then loaded. Would you be able to get a screen recording to show the behaviour you are seeing please? Have you tried closing Photo down with the layout you prefer and then using Edit in Photo?

Hi Sean, here are a couple of screen recordings:

photo-not-running.mp4 This shows what happens when Affinity Photo is not running and is opened from the menu link in Affinity Designer.

photo-already-running.mp4 This shows what happens when Affinity Photo is already running in the background and opened with my preferred layout.

Note: For some reason the menu option showing the 'Edit in Photo...' does not display in the screen recording, but it definitely looks ok when I'm viewing my screen.

Affinity Photo, Designer (and Publisher) all purchased from the Affinity Store. As far as I can remember I’ve never used a trial version of any of the apps. I have used beta versions in the past though.
