firstdefence Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just to clarify, Palatino has used the Mac Spotlight feature to search for any afdesign files on the system, the circled text is "show all in finder" and clicking this will bring up a list of all the afdesign files on the system.

But she is talking about .ai-files in her headline. Not sure if she made a mistake there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same method can be used to find Ai files, so get Spotlight up Cmd + Space and type: ai scroll down the list to the Images heading and click on that heading, all the ai files on the system will be listed in finder. Obviously if you know the name of the file you are looking for it's going to be easier to type the file name not the extension. You can further drill down by right clicking on a file in Finder and either open that file in the default app or Affinity Designer, you can also locate it by clicking on Show in Enclosing Folder SUBH 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.4.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
