peachi Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hey, a .afphoto file is corrupt, too. It`s the second time... Can anyone recover it, please? I`m using win10 and saved on an external hard disk. (Remember.. if anyone download it, you are not allowed to use it for any project or something else.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 17, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hi @peachi, Welcome to Affinity Forums I've edited your post to remove the attached file. I've already got it with me and will log the issue/pass the file to the dev team t0 see if we can recover it. Next time you need to send a file directly to us (without posting it publicly) simply request an upload link and we will provide one for you so you can keep it private. Regarding your issue, please avoid working directly on files stored on external USB sticks/drives, and cloud synchronised folders as they may cause corruption/issues in certain circumstances. Copy the file to a local drive, work on it from there then close the file and move it to the external drive to prevent these issues from happening. peachi 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your support @MEB, the reference and editing my post. In future I will avoid it. Apart from that, I love the affinity apps. Thanks a lot!!!

If you do a File > Save as... to a new file name that usually gets rid of any redundant data in the document which can lead to dramatically smaller file sizes There are a lot of threads regarding this on the forum but don't worry it's perfectly normal Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Nothing to do with me, I'm just the creative/design guy around here. For anything technical I send it across to my IT guy (below) He did mutter something about recreating the first 64 byte header, looking for null values and rehashing the checksums, if that make sense to anyone Joachim_L 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
