Patrick Bell Posted November 11, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bell Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bug in Lightroom failing to launch our application, however, I've written an aflaunch app which can work around the problem.

mjw Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 maybe a bit picky.... could you set the icon to the Affinity 2 Photo version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
