ChrisJW Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Why is it that when I work in Affinity Photo 1.8.3.641 and save my work as *.afphoto, I get the Beta symbol in the bottom RH corner. I also get the same symbol when working and saving in Affinity Photo 1.8.4.676 (Beta) which seems logical. Regards, Chris Wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Windows bases the icon on the file extension, and each extension can have only one icon associated with it. Generally that seems to use the icon for the last program that registered itself to handle that kind of file. So, probably, you have installed Photo Beta more recently than Photo, @ChrisJW.

ChrisJW Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Thanks for that. I think that was the case with me. I received a message saying that a new beta version was available and downloaded it. Does this mean that when the next Affinity Photo is available, that the BETA word will be missing on the .afphoto file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It should also disappear if you reinstall the non-beta Photo. What you do need to check on is what program opens your file if you double-click on it. Is it the standard Photo or the beta?

John I reinstalled Affinity Photo non-beta and yes the icon is now showing with the .afphoto logo without the beta mark. Thankyou.
