Renceslaw101 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I have an issue where when I want to add a photo from Unsplash using the stock photo tab - I get stuck on “downloading” and I have to close and re-open the app. I can search Unsplash fine and see the images to choose from but cannot add them to a canvas. I can add from Pexels and Pixabay fine and without issue. I have tried closing other projects, re-starting my iPad but still encountering the same issue. Has anyone had this issue? It started a couple of days ago and hasn’t stopped. I haven’t installed anything new or anything to interfere. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAppsUser Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I can reproduce the same behaviour. I can also observe my router from where I work: it flashes for a second and then nothing, as though the download request is not passed, or (I suspect more likely) denied. I suggest you download unsplash via their website. - - - - - - - - When I saw this had been added to the apps, I thought: "that'll be prone to issues, only needs the 3rd party to change something" so I don't bother using it. I go direct to the sites. I also find it odd that you drag from a tiny square preview... how can you judge it's a picture you actually want? If I was one of these third parties, I'd see this as likely to lead to a spike in downloads. I'm wondering if Affinity has been detected and blocked as a spammy download bot by unsplash.

The word "professional" fits us all - amateur, semi-pro, beginner, advanced, middle, beyond it all, and on....., because professionals are tolerant.
