SVG files fail to open in Affinity Photo 2

[René V.]

I've just installed Affinity Photo 2, and tried to open the SVG files that I've been previewing earlier on today in Affinity Photo 1. Strangely enough, I now get an error message:

'Failed to open file [...] A temporary document file could not be created'

If I open these files in Affinity Designer 2, the problem does not occur. Could someone please resolve this, as I would very much like to use Photo as my main preview tool, and it's the easiest one to work with for me?

P.S. I just discovered what caused the problem. When I tried to open a JPG with Photo 2 for the first time, it got intercepted by the 'AVG Internet Security' app, which marked it as 'Suspicous activity'. Once I whitelisted the action, the JPG was opened correctly, and I could then also open the attached SVG. Strangely enough, AVG did not kick up a similar pop-up when I first tried to open the SVG files and got an error message. So issue resolved, but it might be good to display it here anyway, in case other users with a similar configuration run into the same problem.
