markw Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I have projects containing both raster and vector elements and would like to switch between Designer and Photo while working. However the "Edit In…" option is always greyed out, even when the appropriate element/s I wish to edit is/are selected.How is this supposed to work?I have both Designer and Photo current MAS versions on OS 10.8.5.

Staff MEB Posted September 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hello markw, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) The command File ▸ Edit in Photo/Designer will send the (entire) document to the other program no matter what you have selected. This seems to be working correctly in Yosemite and El Capitan so i believe this issue is specific to Mountain Lion (and eventually Lion). I will raise this with the developers/team. Thanks for your report. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi I am also having the problem of the File Menu Option "edit in photo" option greyed out in both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo. II does not matter whether the AD/AP are new blank documents or older documents the problem menu option is still greyed out, I am currently using macOS Sierra 10.12.1 on a MacBook Pro (early2015) with 8MB Memory and 250MB SSD thou its a continuing problem from the previous Yosemite OS but I am unable to say when the problem started. My Affinity Designer is ver. 1.5.1 and Affinity Photo is ver. 1.4.3. Any solutions will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi Mikee, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Affinity Designer 1.5.1 uses a more advanced file format that's not compatible with Photo 1.4.3. This is why you are not able to currently use the "Edit in" functionality. Initially we intended to update both versions of Designer and Photo (immediately after) but due to some issues/crash reports with Designer we end up delaying the Photo update to prevent repeating the same problems. If you rely on the "Edit in" functionality for your work, you can install both Affinity Designer 1.5.2 Beta 3 and Photo 1.5 Beta 8 on your computer and continue working as usual. Just remember to keep the respective Mac App Store versions installed since they are needed to validate/run the Betas.

KipV Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I was having this problem a lot in previous version betas and with the MAS versions. The current betas work fine for me in El Capitan.

Thanks for your report. Hi, MEB I think I have the same problem as it seems, I have Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. The problem is I installed both software with the same version, namely the latest version 1.7.1.404 and when I want to use the options in File> Edit in ... apparently not, even though both of these software together open a file that I am currently working on. My work relies on both modes, Pixel and Vector. do you have any suggestions or feedback? I`m using Operating System Windows 10 Pro Version 1803 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have answered: A) Try a beta version B) Open the file directly in the other programme C) Same behaviour on a different machine?
