Patrick Bell Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 I have just installed Photo 2. Where is it installed? I need to know since my LightRoom external editor still points to Photo 1. Its not in Programfiles\Affinity where Photo 1 is. Quote
Staff stokerg Posted November 11, 2022 Staff Posted November 11, 2022 Hi @Patrick Bell, Please see this FAQ Quote
Patrick Bell Posted November 12, 2022 Author Posted November 12, 2022 Using the direct "pointing" to C:\Users\pat\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe shiwed this - even when logged in as Admin Probably because ..WindowsApps is a system folder I then tried the following "Use a helper .bat file: start /b affinityphoto2.exe %1 exit I named mine LaunchAffinityPhoto2.bat and saved it. Then I point to that bat file from the other programs that need to invoke Photo 2." From Lightroom 6 it invokes Photo 2 but crashes photo Clearly a bug in Affinity Photo since what worked before fails now because of the new way that Photo gets installed. I'll ask for a refund until it gets fixed I cannot work this way, the extras aint worth the effort of locating the file from Photo 2 editing and saving then back into Lightroom to import for cataloguing. Of course if Affinity cam up with DAM... Quote

It's a bug in Lightroom failing to launch our application, however, I've written an aflaunch app which can work around the problem. Please see here: Quote
mjw Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 maybe a bit picky.... could you set the icon to the Affinity 2 Photo version? Quote
