Ever since i upgraded to Monterey and downloaded the new Affinity Version i cannot export anything anymore in any Affinity App. Needless to say this is CATASTROPHIC. I essentially cannot do my work anymore! The rollback to the older version of affinity didnt change anything either and that means i would have to downgrade the OS, which would take forever!

I first upgraded the affinity suite, then updated to monterey, then tried downgrading the affinity suite to the version bevor.

Cant export anything. The dialog pops up and i can set everything as usual, but as soon as i click export nothing happens.

I dont think i tested exporting on before i also upgraded to monterey. 

 

Yes i can see the calculation of estimated file size

Nothing happens after clicking export. The export dialog just disappears but where the dialogue for where to export the file to should appear, nothing happens. It doesn't freeze or anything either. 

Saving the affinity changes works fine, but doing "save as" doesnt work either.

With your hint i tried setting up "full disc access" for affinity designer and it still wont export.

As i said - No Dialog box at all. And actually yes, other apps like PS seem to have the same problem. In PS just nothing happesn when clicking save. Export dialog stays open, but when i click Save, nothing happens. So im guessing this emphasizes it to be more of a OS problem, than Affinity. Do you have any idea what it could be? 

I upgraded from the last version of Big Sur.

Ok this is actually weird: So i tested more apps to be sure and it seems like Affinity photo and Adobe Illustrator are fine whereas Designer, Publisher and Photoshop are not.

So then im kinda clueless why that is...

Edit: InDesign is fine too. So then i tried opening files i usually did in designer with photo and tried exporting, which seems to work fine.

And google doesnt give me anything about this issue either. Kinda helpless here... :/

I dont think its that. My network was reachable and besides that i pretty much always save on my disk in specific client folders. MIght have no choice but to rollback -.-

So for everybody that has the same Problem: Apparently it has to do with external Monitors. For me, if i disable the monitor it works. Some seem to have success with resetting the SMC on mac. I didnt though.

This is killing me.  Can't export or save anything.

Beta doesn't help.

C'mon, Affinity.  Please fix this.  I make a living using your program for work and I can't get my work done, now.

Same here. Affinity Publisher 1.10.4 (fresh installed on a new machine) Monterey 12.0.1 / MacBook M1 Pro 16mb / 

Export: shows you the file options panel, upon clicking export.. box vanishes.. then nothing.

Save as Package: After Summary box, the next box pops up, but all black.. // Command "." does cancel the box / keyboard 'Enter' pops up the normal message asking that it needs an empty folder, etc. // So this one is functional, but just 'blacked out' 

@ Serif. A speedy fix is very much appreciated.

Fix for "Export" and "Package" issue

In Monterey, the culprit is your second monitor setting as Main Display

  • Go to your Mac Preferences
  • Displays / Display settings...
  • Set your MacBook as default monitor.
  • Set external monitor as Extended display

This will bring Affinity back to normal

Hello!

I've tried this but it is a "temporary" solution, I've lost the dialog again even in this configuration

Also, I need my Cintiq to be Main Display...

 

Any other trick/fix here?

EDIT: Found... Beta 1.10.5 should mitigate
