Tim C Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 I recently purchased Affinity Photo v1.10 from Apple App Store just a week or so ago. Starting a few days ago, I started getting permission issues when truing to save or export a photo. I see on forum apparently issues with Affinity downloaded from Apple store. Regardless HOW do I fix this? this is getting really annoying I can't save anything. Quote
Staff MEB Posted August 17, 2021 Staff Posted August 17, 2021 Hi @Tim C, Welcome to Affinity Forums How many fonts do you have installed on your system? Are you using a Font Manager? Can you please take a look at this FAQ and see if the solution proposed there works for you if that's the case please? Thanks. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Tim C Posted August 17, 2021 Author Posted August 17, 2021 I installed no fonts, there are whatever fonts came with the product? When I look at it, it scrolls for pages, assuming well over a 1,000 Quote

Speaking of lots of fonts that most Mac users would not be aware of, Big Sur (and even Catalina) automatically installs a few hundred fonts, so the Affinity font menu will show a lot of fonts. But those are all located in approved font locations. Just a PITA because many cannot be deactivated at all and even the Supplemental fonts require TypeFace font manger to deactivate. May not resolve this person’s issue, but will clarify where a whole load of “mysterious” fonts come from!

Tim C Posted August 18, 2021 Author Posted August 18, 2021 the only thing I added was the free software to do things like rainbows, snow, fog, etc. that came with purchase... it must be a font issue. I created a new brush so I could watermark, and that is when issue started. when I deleted the new brush, it seems to have stopped., Quote

Tim C Posted August 19, 2021 Author Posted August 19, 2021 how do I find out which are 'approved fonts'? there's nothing in affinity that highlights that? IS that a MAC list? and how does one reconcile that? Quote

Tim C Posted August 19, 2021 Author Posted August 19, 2021 I was responding to the previous comment above, from nwhit. wrote.. "so the Affinity font menu will show a lot of fonts.

While yes I do have FCPX on my mac as well. this has been on my machine since last year. thanks Quote

I'm afraid your gut would be wrong. No fonts come with the Affinity applications. A quick search indicates that FCPX provides 72 fonts in 53 families, which could show as several thousand individual fonts in a font listing, depending on how they are organized and listed, and how many families each font provides.

And, more importantly, if Affinity enumerates (and Opens) them as several thousand files, that could trigger Saving and permissions problems due to the sandboxing applied by macOS to applications obtained from the Mac App Store.

Tim C Posted August 19, 2021 Author Posted August 19, 2021 Interesting. thanks for all the help, I will explore that avenue. I know I will never use all these fonts. Maybe if I reduce the number of fonts within affinity, it will help situation. Thanks Much. Quote
