redtom Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 When saving a file, Affinity Photo is creating a separate file each time I press cmd S, almost like saving as. I noticed this when I navigated to the folder I had saved my file to and found lots of copies of the file. I am saving to iCloud Drive. As I'm a newbie I thought this might be a versioning feature but I have since found that it shouldn't be happening. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Does it happen if you save to a different (non-iCloud) directory? If not, then it seems more likely that it is a versioning function performed by iCloud.

redtom Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 No it doesn't happen when I save locally. iCloud doesn't save multiple copies with any other application I've used so I don't think it's an iCloud versioning function. For example I've been saving Affinity Designer files on iCloud and it doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
