walt.farrell Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 A screenshot of what you're seeing would be useful, and more information about which dialog and application it's happening in.

Hangman Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I'm assuming you are referring to the file extension in the Mac Finder rather than the layers panel in an Affinity app which for Affinity files always shows the Affinity file extension regardless of whether Hide File Extension is ticked or unticked under Settings (Preferences). Just checking the obvious, if you right-click a file in the Finder missing its file extension and select Get Info, is the Hide extension checkbox ticked?

There is a universal option on macOS to hide all file extensions but from your description, it sounds as though it's only affecting some files but not others, is that correct? Is the file in question one you created and saved yourself in Affinity Photo?

I assume you mean .afphoto rather than .photo? Out of interest, if you drag one of the .afphoto files into an Affinity Photo document, does the .afphoto extension show in the layers panel in Affinity Photo, it should as I don't believe it can be disabled... As far as I'm aware, you would have to manually hide the file extension in the finder to hide it's file extension.
