iMatt Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Creating files in Publisher and can save as per usual. When using "save as" command, I cannot see my previous files as icons. Thus it becomes difficult to see what I am replacing. Just tried this in Designer with no issues. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMatt Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 No idea if this proves anything. However, as you can see there is only one file which I saved yesterday. There should be sevral others. The drive is working fine and these files can be accessed in Windows Explorer on their own. They become invisible from within Affinity Publisher.

walt.farrell Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I've never seen that happen. But try changing your File Explorer "view" mode, over on the right side, to something else (Details might be good, but play with the other options, too). But there's another odd thing in your screenshot. The "Save as Type" is truncated, it should show like this: What release of Publisher are you running?

iMatt Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Using the latest 1.9.2.1035. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMatt Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 I think I know what the problem may be. Although saving in Publisher, the files have the afdesign extension rather then afpub. Hence the reason Publisher is not seeing them. Will have to rename the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMatt Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Okay. Seems to be working now. Publisher is seeing and opening up Designer files. Re-saving them as Publisher ones. Thanks for the help. Pšenda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
