Holger Ullmann Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Affinity Photo files are only displayed with the App Icon on the Mac Finder. This is a problem as I am used to identifying files using the image preview. There is no corresponding possibility to change this in the preferences. How can I fix this problem? Quote
Staff MEB Posted December 8, 2020 Staff Posted December 8, 2020 Hi @Holger Ullmann, @Karsten.G, Welcome to Affinity Forums Go to Affinity Photo Preferences, General section and make sure Save thumbnail with documents is ticked. Open and re-save the files that don't have a thumbnail/preview and you should then see it in Finder. Let me know if you still have issues. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Karsten.G Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Almost there. This gives me a picture in the finder, but when I go to file info and try to copy that index image to create a folder with that image, all I see is the affinity logo. Any ideas other than using the imag2icon app, which does the job? OS is Mojave and Big Sur, and with CS6 I never had that problem. Quote
Holger Ullmann Posted December 9, 2020 Author Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I work with OSX 10.11.6 I had already ticked the preferences. Strangely enough, this works with all other file formats such as Tiff, JPG, PDF, PNG ... But not with affinity files. Edited December 9, 2020 by Holger Ullmann Quote
ed-e Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 Preview is not able to open/display affinity photo image. I followed the previous suggestion, it does not work. Quote
akula7 Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Der Fall ist wieder aktuell. Die Vorschau der App der gesamten Suite wird unter MacOS Sequoia Version 15.0.1 nicht angezeigt. Und ja, die "Vorschau speichern" aktiviert sich für alle Apps, hat aber keinen Effekt. Gibt es da einen Trick? Oder ist das ein Bug? Mit der Version OS 14. war alles ok. Mac Mini, M2, 16 GB Quote

There is a known issue with Affinity apps and Sequoia, logged for V2 as AF-3857 and fixed in the just-released 2.6 Beta. It occurs because Apple changed the way that previews and Quicklook images are generated, and required application developers to implement new interfaces. I would not expect this to be fixed for V1, as I doubt Serif would consider it major enough. But only they would know for sure. Are you still using V1? If you have V2, then you should see a fix when 2.6 finishes Beta testing and is released as a retail product.

DavidLM Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 Yes, apparently a Sequoia issue because Clip Studio Paint has the same problem. Sigh. Quote
Slingy Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 (edited) Im using V1 and can no longer view thumbnails since Sequoia update, would be great if this is fixed in V1 too, as i'm unable preview anything and my file name choices are not holding up to scrutiny Edited November 29, 2024 by Slingy Quote
