DBCAB Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Ive noticed that when I try to export JPEG or Tiff files the export dialog shows as affinity file not JPEG or Tiff. The resulting export is unaffected and the file format is either a JPEG or a Tiff just the dialog is incorrect under save as type while exporting.

This is caused by a Windows setting that hides or shows file extensions - that is turned on/off somewhere in Windows. When Windows is configured to show file extensions, it will look like this: I happily forgot all about where this setting can be changed. 😕 Mark Ingram 1 "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

The software continued to disappoint and not deliver.

Just thought Id post since I noticed it on export several times. Jowday and Mark Ingram 2

Linslusen Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Hi Mark, sorry to trouble you with this issue again, but today I dowloaded the latest versions of the Affinity Photo for Windows as well as the Beta version. The Affinity Photo download took about 4 minutes, while the Beta download lasted more than an hour. Surely there is someting wrong with the beta download.

Surely there is someting wrong with the beta download. The retail versions are served from cloudfront.net, which is a large provider of web-caching services and which has (I believe) server locations around the world which can be used to speed up the delivery. The beta versions are served from an Amazon AWS server, with one location on the East Coast, I believe. Additionally, cloudfront may provide a faster connection to the network. Both the server location and the server network speed would impact the download speed, and that probably explains the difference you see. Not something "wrong" with the download.

Abelnt Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 i do not know if is normal . . . But if i make a selection in a pixel layer, and put an effect like gaussian blur... the effect go to all layer, not the selection. ONEBYSTUDIO 1
telemax Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 I think that's the way it should be. But you can use Gaussian Blur Filter or Gaussian Blur Live Filter. You can also copy the selection to a separate layer and then apply Gaussian Blur FX.

Hi Walt, thanks for the explanation. A quicker download of the beta would anyway be appreciated.
