Uwe367 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 If i save from a part of a file a file as .afselection and want to open it later for continues using, photo, designer and publisher tells me, that this is not an affinity document. See attached Screenshot please. Is it a bug or am i doing somethimg wrong? What sense does it make to save it, but could not to open it again if i need it? If i want to open it, this file would not shown in the List of what i can choose. The message displays when i choose in Windows the option "open file with..." and then choose one of my affinity apps. It´s not only kind of the Beta Apps, it also happens in current versions. Quote Have a nice day. Ich wünsche einen schönen Tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 How did you save it? In that same menu, is there a way to open it?

Old Bruce Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Wow! How and when did I miss this getting added?

Uwe367 Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 First of all.... No, this is the Photo Beta 1.10.5.1342. No newer Version. In the Select Menu you have a possibility, to save a selcetion as channel or a file. See the screenshot please. Then you save the selection as, for example, test.afselection. For far, so good, but if you want to open this file, this format is not supported, it is not displayed in the select menu if you want to open a file. If you choose, in Windows, right click on the file and "Open with...", then choose affinity photo beta, the app displays the message that this is not an affinity file format. Quote Have a nice day.

PaulEC Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Use the item below "Save Selection" in the Select Menu: "Load Selection From File". You load the selection, you don't open it. ice_video_20220814-164400.mp4 Uwe367 1 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 : Windows 10 Home Affinity Publisher 2 : Affinity Photo 2 : Affinity Designer 2 : (latest release versions) on desktop and iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the opinion that the file can be opened normally and i didn't have the "select menu" for it in mind at all. Quote Have a nice day. Ich wünsche einen schönen Tag.
