How to launch Affinity Photo v2 through another software? (namely RawTherapee)


Recommended Posts

First of all: sorry for my bad english, I'll try explain to my best.

I just bought Affinity Photo V2. Everything's fine, exept the fact I don't understand if (and how) there's a way to set a path to the executable that's working:

In RawTherapee's preferences, I can set the path to the exe of an external editor, to which RT "sends" a tiff with my pp settings applied to continue to work.

Until today, that path was "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe".

I already discovered how to see what's in the WindowsApps folder, and I found the AP V2 exe. Problem is that I can't use that exe to launch AP v2 (got an error message)

Now I'm really struggling to find out a workaround for this problem...and if I won't find out one, I will have to ask for a refund and continue to use AP V.1.

Thanks to everyone who will try to help.

I think it was hidden after some users reported that the technique described there wasn't working for them.

Update, now it works.

Where RawTherapee asks for the path of the external editor's executable I wrote:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.0.0.1640_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App\Photo.exe

...which is what I thought I already did yesterday. I think I didn't copy correctly the entire path.

 

Hope this helps.
