Tripower Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 HI everybody, Like in the title described Affinity Photo will not start when my home server is shut down. I'm a Mac user and I shut down my Q NAP home server once in a while over night and sometimes over the day. I think this is a strange behaviour of Affinity Photos and shouldn't be like that. What can I do to use the program flawlessly? THX in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted January 12, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2021 Welcome @Tripower to the forums. Is Affinity Photo installed locally or on the home server? Have you recently opened/loaded any files into Affinity Photo that are stored on the server, if so try the following: Open System Preferences > General, change the Recent items to None or 0 If Affinity Photo opens, go into the apps Preferences > General and untick Reopen document(s) on startup. This will prevent trying to load any documents from the server when the app is opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripower Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Affinity is installed on my Mac's hard drive/Applications just like all my apps in general. I usually edit my photos on a second internal hard drive. Not on the server. However I might have done that at some time or recently. I can't remember. I took your advice and unchecked the "Reopen document(s) on startup." option. So next time I have my server down I'll be able to see if that works fine. I will report. Thanks bunches or your advise. I much appreciated it. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
