Affinity Photo usable when not connected to server.

[km.au]

It takes about 5 minutes to open

Preferences window opens after a couple minutes

 

All because when working on the road Affinity can't find my server. Why does it even need to?

Hi @km.au,

Thanks for your report!

I can confirm our team are aware of slow loading times for the Affinity apps currently, due to a change in the way Apple security scan their apps in Catalina onwards:

We hope to have this addressed I'm a future update, I hope this clears things up

I'm not sure it's that. 

A Window will pop up saying it can't find my NAS / server. 

The server is online but I changed the SMB connections and macOS itself doesn't have an issue connecting. 

However I can't find any reference inside Affinity Photo to where, how or why it is accessing the old smb address?

Can you please provide a screenshot of the dialog you are seeing?

Unless you are loading a file, or have stored the Affinity app on your NAS, I would not expect the Affinity app to be accessing this when opening, and this isn't something I've heard happening before.

Many thanks in advance!
