Garden-User Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hello, We are currently using the Affinity Photo and Publisher Version in the Test-Mode. They both look very promising. Affinity Photo is the first Program that we found that can handle PSD-Files with Layers and is still able to read / write them. I mean even our "Benchmark" File that is a PSB-File with 2,5 GB Size is handled perfectly. Sure we must fine tune some Elements afterwards but hey 95 % was imported correctly. The last 5 % are only minor details that took 5 Minutes to "change". Out biggest "Downside" with Affinity Photo is this one: The Software uses the same Icon for every supported Filetype. Why is there not an Icon for a PSD, a RAW etc. File? That would make the Software nearly perfect. Yes I know this is maybe a minor detail, but hey sorry that this is so far the only Downside we found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hallo @Garden-User and welcome to the forums. The icon displayed in your filing system is an operating system property, although many programs will set their own icon during the installation process. I use Windows 10. It used to be fairly simple in WIndows XP to set up the icon associated with a file type. Microsoft has made this progressively more difficult. I am not sure if it is even possible in WIndows 10, though I expect it is possible through the registry. You might like to look at this site: How to change the Icon for a certain file type in Windows.

Garden-User Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hallo @John Rostron thank you for the welcome, sorry for the late answer. I have worked in the past days alot with the Affinity Products and they work great. Regarding your Answer, well I have used / tried to use the Programm, but every time I want to chance an Icon it gives me an Error that says "Error 2: The System can´t find the specified File." The Icon File lays in the Documents Folder next to the Program file. But hey I assume that it is an error in Windows 10 Version 2004... Maybe we will get Individual File Icons from the Developer Team soon. I mean the Port to Apple Silicon is not time consuming 😋 and that comes from a Person who don´t use Macs but is very exited to see the new Apple Silicon.
