It's in a zip archive. Zip archives don't auto-expand into a different folder. (Although you can set a hidden preference if you know how.) And technically, applications can be lauched from almost anywhere, not just from the /Applications folder. Although frankly, I don't know whether Monterey and Ventura are now more restrictive than older MacOS versions.

MikeTO Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Note that the Designer beta is a DMG while the Publisher and Photo betas are ZIP files, so the installation method is different. It's not important that they be the same but somebody not paying attention might double click the extracted app from a zip file thinking it was a DMG. walt.farrell and MarvinR 2 Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.5 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters Affinity 2.5 for macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted December 12, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi Harry, As others have said, this is just because it was delivered as a ZIP. This won't happen when we upload it up to our store, its just quicker/easier for us to deliver it like this for a beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
