Affinity Publisher will not open files created from another user account on same PC


Recommended Posts

I have two user accounts on my PC and at times I experience awkward moments when attempting to open an .apub file that was created while working in the other user account, a message will pop up indicating that I don't have permission to open the file (Refer to attached image). I am only able to open these files if I run Publisher as Administrator. But again I don't want to do this as this will restrict me from clicking and dragging images from the desktop to place into Publisher. 

Note that these are intermittent occurrences but all the same annoying. This only happens with Affinity apps. How best can I overcome this challenge?

In File Explorer, right click a file you can't open when using the other account, select Properties and the Security tab, then check what permissions have been set for other users

 

(Windows 11 - procedure may be different on different versions)

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.
