Cannot Load LUTs

[grey]

I used to be able to load LUTs from only DropBox, but now I can't even do that. I have tried Google Drive, internal storage, DropBox, and iCloud and none of them work. Affinity Photo is up to date, my iPad Pro (2017) is up to date. I don't have adobe apps on the ipad, I tried restarting the ipad, I tried reinstalling DropBox. The .cube files just remain greyed out. 

Is there a fix for just... opening a .cube file?

I read changing the file extension to .cub will allow loading on iPad.  I for one did not encounter problem loading 10 LUTS .cube on my iPad Pro, 1.8.4 version.

I'm speechless... changing the format name from .cube to .cub seems to have worked. I guess I'll rename all of my LUTs then. 

Thanks Cecil!

Hi @grey,

Welcome to the forums

I can confirm this is a known issue and our developers are currently working to resolve this - in the meantime the workaround is to rename the LUT files, as Cecil has confirmed above. Many thanks!

Dan, is there a way to do this on the iPad? I'm not sure but I don’t think iOS allows you to alter file type?

Directly on the iPad? As far as I'm aware there's no way of doing this and it may need to be done on an external PC. We appreciate this is not an ideal workaround and our devs hope to have this fixed shortly - I'll nudge the issue again now.

Thanks Dan. Strangely FWIW, I’m not having any issues loading .cube in latest version.

Worked out that you can do this in Documents app👍 Copy file to Documents folder. Rename file extension then import by navigating to Documents folder.

Please clarify Document App.  Do you mean Files App?  If so, I could only rename, but not change extension.

Thanks for letting me know, that's really useful info

I believe DM1 is referring to 'Documents by Readdle' which is a free file manager app from the App Store!

Documents app by Readdle. If you don’t have this app I thoroughly recommend getting it. It’s the aswiss Army knife of file managers.

Thank you, I have Readdle, it clearly shows the lack of Apple’s Files App.
