DonQuixote Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 I searched for a possible answer for this; and if I missed it, apologies all! When I open a V1 file in V2 Beta, I get this popup: No matter what I choose, whether Make a copy, or Continue, the file opens OK; but, I cannot save it as another file. My save commands are grayed out. Then I tried to make a copy of the original and rename it in Finder. The problem still persists since the copy is a V1 file as well. Also, I cannot export it to edit it. Anyone have a work around for this? Is this a bug or no? Quote

I'm on a Mac, running Ventura 13.2.1. I don't believe the OS has anything to do with this, as I made some discoveries: The problem only shows when I attempt to open .afphoto files I download from Serif. These are practice files that went along with the Affinity Photo Student Workbook that is now out of press. I was going to practice some of the lessons; as I have been feeling a bit rusty with some techniques the book had covered. When I attempt to open files that I had used for V1, they opened fine with the ability to save or save-as. Therefore, either we have a bug with reference to those particular files; or the files are not compatible with V2; which I find quite unlikely. I can open and edit anything else. It's just weird. Plus it's not the Beta version. Just the latest version of V2 behaves the very same. Not sure what the issue is on this one; but for instance, here is a link to one of the downloadable files: https://affin.co/mamtor. (if the link doesn't cause a download, try typing the address directly into the URL bar on your browser). That will download a folder containing a .tiff and an afphoto file. Please try to open the .afphoto file, and see if you experience the same thing. ~Jeff Quote
walt.farrell Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 For copyright and licensing reasons, those Workbook files are Locked to prevent Saving, Exporting, or Printing. You can see something similar with the Samples available from the V1 Welcome Screen.

DonQuixote Posted March 4, 2023 Author Posted March 4, 2023 Thanks Walt! I wondered if that were the case 🙄. Good to know it's not a bug! Subject closed. ~Jeff walt.farrell 1 Quote
