YorkyDon Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 I have been trying to join the Affinity 2 beta testing group and followed the links given in an email from Serrif. I have downloaded the Designer and Publisher but cannot open either app. Does anyone know if these apps will run with macOS 10.15.7?Affinity Publisher 2 Beta.dmgAffinity Publisher 2 Beta.dmgAffinity Publisher 2 Beta.dmg Quote
Hangman Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Hi @YorkyDon and welcome to the forums... I believe the Beta's 'should' run on Catalina... this is the tech specs page for the current retail version and I'm not aware of any changes to the minumin specs for the Beta versions... https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/full-feature-list/ What happens when you attempt to open the apps, do you get any error mesages or does nothing happen at all, even after a reboot of your Mac?

YorkyDon Posted February 25, 2023 Author Posted February 25, 2023 The apps load ok, but when I select the the app icon it bounces to indicate it is opening but nothing happens. So dissapointed as I love the apps and wanted to contribute to the beta forum. Quote
Hangman Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 This might just be on the first run of the apps, I recall they bounced in the dock about 37 times prior to opening the first time but once opened once, they then open as normal after that... I don't know if you've let them bounce that long of whether they simply just never open even after 37 bounces...

What does "load ok" mean? What do you mean by "I select the app icon...."? Are you perhaps trying to run the application from the DMG? Have you perhaps run the applications from the DMG and so those are the icons in the Dock? Are the applications in the Applications in the Applications Folder? Can you run them from there?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
