Problem to create a link to Affinity Photo 2 in XnView MP

[Marc Braine]

Hello, I wanted to create a link in XnView Mp to open the images directly 
in Affinity Photo 2. I went to find the executable file and I inserted it
but unfortunately it does not work while the link for affinity Photo Ver 1.10 works correctly.
Can you help me ?
Thanks Marc

You need to link it to C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe  instead

replace <your user> with your windows user name in your case i see from the first image it is marcb so C:\Users\marcb\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe

I hope this helps you.

Thank you SpiffinJay for your quick reply but
unfortunately it doesn't work because the system gives me an error message "The system cannot access the file"?

If anyone is still looking to link Affinity Photo in XnView I found this method also worked.

I hope this helps.
