I just update affinity Designer and now I am unable to open and of my designer files. It states they contain elements from an older version. How do I open my documents? Designer should be backwards compatible. How do I find the version to open my files?

Hi @Lindygee,
Welcome to the Affinity Forums!

Indeed, the apps should be backwards compatible. What platform are you using and what are the two involved AD version numbers?

Can you upload a sample .afdesign for a test on a different computer? And a screenshot of this error message?

macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1

Hi, I'm having a similar problem, I think. I last opened this file in 2021, but Affinity Designer won't open it now. I'm running Affinity Designer 1.10.5 on a Mac Mini M1 chip OS 12.6.

Hi @ldecher,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble!

When I use Get info, it tells me the file is only 4KB

Unfortunately it sounds as though significant parts of the file have been lost - though I'd certainly be happy to double check this for you.

Can you please upload the document to the below link for me:

Once uploaded, please reply here to let me know. Many thanks in advance :)
