V2 Photo opens on recent rather than account


Recommended Posts

For me it does not do this. It opens on Account, New, or Recent, whichever one I last used. But if I use a different pane it will open on that next time. I'm on macOS.

If I remember correctly that's how it works for me on Windows, too. (But I'm away from the PC at the moment.)

It does for me as well. I'm on macOS Catalina.

That's way it works for me as well. I'm on Windows 11.

Is it possible to set a keyboard shortcut to the "Recent" panel?

No, but you can set one to File > Open Recent which is different but similar in some ways.

Alt+Shift+O opens the Recent panel in APhoto

In Designer and Publisher, you can assign your own shortcut

(Windows 11)

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Specifically, it is the File > Open Recent > More... menu command. Since I use it quite often, I changed it to just Option+O (where Option is the same as the Alt key on Macs), & set that shortcut for the other 2 Affinity apps as well. It still takes a little mental effort for me to remember to use Option+O rather than CMD+O but since there is no way to set the apps to default to opening anything but the New tab on start up it is better than nothing.

Nice, I wasn't aware of the menu item  File > Open Recent > More... and set it to CMD+O. 👍

I considered setting it to CMD+O but since that is the Mac standard for the File > Open command, I decided it would be too weird for the Affinity apps not to use it for that; thus, my choice of Option+O.
