LivMore Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Affinity Publisher will not save, save as export or open any of my files. I checked for updates but it is up to date. I don't want to close the program and risk losing any work I have already done. Somebody please help! I am on a deadline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently you could copy your Affinity user data system folder (or selectively the folder "autosave") to another location. In case you needed to close / relaunch APub then the files of type .autosave may get renamed to type .afpub which would possibly allow to open them if they contain enough data. Another option after a possibly required app relaunch might be to create a new empty document (same specs, e.g. page size, colour) and try the option menu "Document" > "Add Pages from File…" and choose a renamed .autosave file.

LivMore Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 Thanks so much for this info. I will save it for future reference. I just shut everything down and reopened the program. Luckily everything had saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Glad you managed it to work! – Can you give some more specific feedback what happened? This could help to understand the issues + give hints for other users in such a situation: a. What happens in each of the attempts to "Save", "Export", "Open"? (any message, process bar, …) b. Has the affected document been saved before the issue? c. Is any of the involved files stored on an external disk (e.g. network volume, cloud, usb-stick)? d. How did the document open after the app relaunch: as usual document – or restored after your dialog window confirmation?
