AffinityUser58 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Affinity Designer will not let me save a file i am working on. I can "edit" in in Publisher or Photo. Also, I don not see the Publisher or Photo Personas in Designer, i do see them in the other programs Quote

AffinityUser58 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Posted October 13, 2020 Any idea why i can't save a file? Quote
Alfred Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 What error message do you get? Which version of macOS (or OS X) and which version of Designer are you using?

AffinityUser58 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Posted October 14, 2020 No error message, when i click save or save as, nothing happens I am using the latest versions of mac os and designer Quote
AffinityUser58 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Posted October 15, 2020 Alfred Do you have any suggestions on why i cannot save a file in Designer? I have the latest versions of both Mac OS and Affinity Designer. No error messages Quote

Not without any clues from an error message. Perhaps a Mac user will be able to point you in the right direction.

GarryP Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 When you use menu “File → Save” (or the keyboard equivalent), you shouldn’t normally see anything happening, except the “*” next to the filename disappears. When you use menu “File → Save As…” (or the keyboard equivalent), you should get a file dialog asking you where you want to save to the file to. If this doesn’t appear then it could be possible that the dialog is on a screen which isn’t attached to the machine, so you can’t see it. While the file dialog is open you shouldn’t be able to do anything other than use that dialog so what happens when you use “File → Save As…”? Can you keep using the application as normal (unexpected behaviour), or do you need to press Escape, or something else, to continue (which would tell me that the dialog could be open but can’t be seen)?

AffinityUser58 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Posted October 15, 2020 Garry Thank you for responding. I don't see the dialog box. I can continue to work. If i "close" the program, i see a dialog box that asks me to save the document. When i click the save button, the dialog disappears. If i try to close again, i receive the same dialog box. I suspect you are correct, the dialog box is open but is not visible Quote

I suspect you are correct, the dialog box is open but is not visible Try following this advice from Mac OSX daily, you may have to try a couple of times to get it to 'stick'. Tip: Move the save dialog window once you can see it after resizing the display. https://osxdaily.com/2013/08/14/move-window-back-on-screen-mac-os-x/ Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

AffinityUser58 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Posted October 15, 2020 thanks The article helped Quote
Marcello - Twinsfineart Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 1 - do a screen shot of your work - just i case it will be lost you, at least have a reference - most definitely will be not - 2 - force quit affinity 3 - reopen affinity and select all your files to be recovered 4 - as you select the file you want -save as - menu opens and you just save where desired Quote
