Anthony M. Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hello, I am currently trying to open a set of files on my newly updated 1.8.3 Affinity Designer. The message I received was "The file includes features from a later version of Affinity." A part of this set was 18 low complexity images. Out of the 18, I was only able to open 3 of the design files. The other 15 gave the error. I not sure why 3 out of 18 would work as they all used the same design method to be created. I can post a file of design file that worked and a couple that did not. Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue. broken 1.afdesign broken 2.afdesign broken 3.afdesign Example that Works.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted July 8, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi Anthony M. Are you double clicking the files or using File > Open? Have you tried placing the files elsewhere (such as on the desktop) and opening them from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
