In the past I could download my photos to my desktop, view them, them place them in a folder.  Now I can't view them because they show up (upon download to desktop) as the Affinity symbol.  How do I stop this?

Which OS?  On a Mac, you can click on one of the files and use the keyboard shortcut CMD-I (capital i) to "Get Info."  In the Get Info panel that comes up, you can select the default application ("a" in the screenshot) to open these types of files (based on their extension, essentially).  Once you choose the new default application, the option to change this setting for all files of this type will be enabled ("b" in the screenshot).  On my Mac, I have JPEGs set to use the Preview app, which displays their thumbnail as their icon within the OS.

I’m not a Mac user but I’d be surprised if you really have to type a capital i (i.e. Shift+i) for this.

On Windows you can right-click and choose ‘Open With...’ from the context menu.

You do not need to type a capital I - I just clarified that because the forum uses a sans serif font that could also look like a lower case “L”.

In the MacOS, you can also right-click on the file and select Get Info from the contextual menu, or select the file and go to the Finder menu File > Get Info.
