exporting Multi channel EXR not possible

[maxen]

Can't export any multi channel EXR file. Get the error:
"An error occurred while exporting to: ..."

Hi Maxen

This is working, however it is reliant on how you've named your layers so you do need to make sure these are correct.
The attached file exports correctly for me.

MultiChannelEXR_Export.exr MultiChannelEXR.afdesign

Is this intended???
And are there other extensions I should know?

This is intended - there is a great post from James Ritson (our Affinity Photo product expert) covering the export of EXR, its naming and why it has to be done this way here:

Thanks! Would be nice, to get a more clear error message. If it said "no .RGBA-Layer found" I would have known what to look out for.
