Afizan Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 I was running ipad OS 14.2 when I updated Affinity Designer 1.9. That update changed all my .afdesign files preview to AD icon. I can't see previews anymore. Tried to solve the problem by deleting the App then updating the ipad to the latest 14.4, then re-installing the latest Affinity Designer app, but still, that does'nt solve it. I can't work without the files preview cos I named all my .afdesign files in running number (see attached). Can somebody help please? Thank you. Quote

If not, Its possible that you have installed another app that has possibly taken control of this preview feature. For what it’s worth, I can still see previews of the afdesign files on my iPad after updating. As an example, Adobe apps have had a habit of affecting Affinity. Any of those installed recently?

DM1 Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 What files can you see a preview of? Do you have Affinity Photo installed? Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Afizan Posted March 5, 2021 Author Posted March 5, 2021 I could see previews of photo files, pdf, and others but not the .afdesign files, only AD icons appeared. I have not installed Affinity Photo. I have deleted most of my designin Apps, only left with some unrelated apps. Quote
DM1 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I’m out of ideas🤔 It’s very odd but sounds like an iOS issue more than an Affinity issue. I can only suggest deleting any apps that you have installed since the update. Maybe the mods or another user will have a better recommendation. 🙁 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
