Andreas Scherer Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 macOS Monterey version 12.6.2 Affinity General License version 2.0.3 This seems to affect all three apps, but I miss it most for APub: Right-clicking on either of the three app icons in the dock bar doesn't show any ”Recently used objects“, although inside the programs (ATTOW, AD and APub), there are such objects to choose from in the ”Recently used files“ tab of the project start panel. I reallly miss this functionality when working with two or three documents and want to open one with a simple mouse click.

MikeTO Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It's the same for me on Ventura. It worked well in v1 so it's surprising that it's stopped working in v2. I think this is the first report of this bug in these forums.

markw Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 This is all I see in v2 after a right click on the Dock icon before launching an Affinity app in v2. And clicking 'Show Recents' just brings up a message saying ‘No Available Windows’.

MikeTO Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 @laurent32 I should clarify - the bug is that the Affinity v2 app icons in the dock aren't showing recent items when the apps are closed. They show recent items when the apps are open, and even then only recent items from that session.

annamilano Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Almost half a year now and no fix yet. Any news when we can exspect the fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptujec Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Not sure if anyone is working on this. I sure hope so. If so I have some observations. I think the info about recent documents that the dock shows are stored in this file: ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner2.sfl2 Shortly after I close Designer entries in this file get deleted. I ran into this because I think LaunchBar is using the same information to display recent files when you select an app and press space. annamilano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james010101 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 This issue really bothers me, still present in 2.1. I really wish it was fixed after all this time from launch. Irks me to see it working on V1 and that I cannot access this simple macOS feature on V2. I sure hope it gets fixed soon. annamilano and Ptujec 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamilano Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Strange that isn't still fixed. Even with 2.1. Speaking of 2.1 - how do I update? I can't find any item in the setting to look for new updates and by starting affinity designer an automatic udapte won't happen. Edit: Just in the moment I wrote the lines above I got the Affinity Update 2.1 Mail.

james010101 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just updated to check, very nice that it's back but I still had to revert to 2.0 because of other minor issues but now I'm more hopeful those will get fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Andreas says, it is still broken on macOS 13.4.1. So it maybe is an OS issue? Or probably the combination of app and OS. Because for me Affinity Designer is the only app that does not show recent items properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
