Save as function


Recommended Posts

If it is possible, please can you consider making Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, consistent with Affinity Publisher in the way that it defaults the cursor automatically into the 'Save as" file name.

I know this may seem petty but I save each working version of a document with a new version number e.g. Test v1,afphoto, Test v2.afphoto, etc. until I have completed my final version at which time I will name it as a final version e.g. Test final.afphoto. This makes sure that I frequently save a new copy in case of computer crashes (not that I have many nowadays) and that I don't inadvertently over-write important changes. I know that I can move the mouse into the file name section to alter the name but I am very used to other programs defaulting the cursor into the file name box and the change would help my workflow. Thanks

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Rocky 2021.

You don't say what OS you're running, but on Windows I find that all three applications work identically in this area, and when the Save As dialog is displayed the filename field has the focus and the contents of the field are selected, ready for typing.
