00maxx00 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited November 9, 2022 by 00maxx00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00maxx00 Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited November 10, 2022 by 00maxx00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00maxx00 Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 update: the .bat workaround described in other threads works much better, and both with sw that wants the user to write just the path to ap's exe (like RawTherapee) and with sw that wants the user to navigate to the exe (like faststone and dxo photolab).
