Dragging images from the web to Affinity is having some problems


Recommended Posts

When I drag an image from the web to my artboard it now shows up as a link (please see attached doc) instead of the image that I'm trying to drag over. I don't why it's doing this, never had this problem before. Any adivice?

 

Also, I was working on a file in Affinity Designer and when I saved it, it automatically opens now as an Affinity Photo doc...anybody else had this problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Marc

Hi Marc,

The URL is via Google search.

Perhaps you need to be on the site that has the image.

You can easily change the default app for opening .afdesign files, using Get Info by right clicking on the file. However, this will make .afphoto files open in Affinity Designer!

The best option for now is to right click the file & choose Open With.

Thanks Paul. I appreciate that:)

 

But I am still having problems dragging an image from the web to my Affinity doc for some reason..it used to work and it does work with the other software I have in Adobe and Sketch...just kinda wierd that it doesn't work all of a sudden. It started last week.

 

Here are 3 screenshots:

 

First one works in PS, Second screenshot works in Sketch, third screenshot is in Affinity Designer.
