Bartelmy Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 My thumbnail manager for images (FastStone) will automatically send an image to Photo provided that I know the path to the exe file. For Photo 1, this was easy enough. However, I am struggling to find a usable path for Photo 2 (and Publisher 2 for that matter). When I track through the file system from the User folder on the C: drive, I eventually hit a dead end because an accessible path appears to be unavailable. Can someone enlighted me on this - otherwise I have to keep using copy and paste to get images into Photo 2 - or use File, Open. I agree that this is not a huge problem but it is an inconvenience. Thanks. Chris Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartelmy Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Thanks. Unfortunately (as others have noted) this path is flagged as inaccessible when I attempt to locate it in my thumbnail viewer. I have to say that this does seem to be a strange limitation in what I have purchased as an upgrade from version 1...I hope that the path to the various exe files can be made available in a future maintenance release.

Or, wait for the forthcoming EXE/MSI installer, probably in 2.0.4.

Staff Dan C Posted February 9, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hi @Bartholomew, Apologies for the delayed response here! Just to confirm, the MSI/EXE versions of Affinity V2 are now available and should hopefully resolve this issue for you. You can find out how to access these below - I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
