pcdlibrary Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 When trying to open a JPEG file, the only option is text files??? Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Sounds like you are trying to Place a file, not Open it. If you have a Text Frame selected, or a Text tool active, the application may prefer text files, by design. There are some other situations where that may happen, which I think are recognized bugs but I don't recall the details. What application, release, and OS are you using?

It can be confusing: when you place a file, it reflects 'open.' Quote

That may be something the application can't control, if you're on Windows. What's important is how you initiated the operation.

Just guessing but I think that just means it is Windows' way of saying it is can open the file so Affinity can place it in the document.

I have often wondered why the convention wasn't 'Choose' when we place or import files in documents. This is for all applications on all OSes, not just Affinity ones. markw 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
