Photo Beta 2.2.1954 Mac open only one pic at a time?


Recommended Posts

Hi there, 

can it be that the current Photo Beta for Mac (1954) can only open one image at a time? Whenever I click on multiple images and say 'open' it only ever opens one image. After several attempts via the 'Open' menu it suddenly works, but not always. Strange behavior, I think. I can not explain better, sorry.

See videos.

There's a known issue with drag/drop. Perhaps it applies to opening multiples from Finder that way, too. Try Opening them from Photo itself.

It appears that way, but they are actually stacked on top of each other, and I can’t see how to show all the tabs.

Interesting! I have not seen that. Still a bug, though, right? :)

I would say yes.

Good catch. I too cannot figure out how to get the tabs to show. I most likely won't spend much time on this as I never actually work like that. I use File > Open...

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

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

I noticed this, because I loaded 6 jpg and png files, and only the last one showed up. Hmmm thought I. So I closed that one and presto, there was the second one.

no tabs showing, nothing indicating that it was part of a collection.

definately a bug. Mac desktop by the way. M2 Mini

Do you have the Window > Arrange menu item in the macOS Affinity applications? If so, and if it's available there as it is on Windows, perhaps Window > Arrange > Dock (or Dock All) would help.

You can force the tabs to appear by creating a new document. After clicking OK in the New dialog all of the tabs will be visible.

This is part of a broader issue in the beta - documents aren't being added to the Window menu when created or opened. I've confirmed that they're added to the Window menu in all of the 2.1 apps but none of the 2.2 beta apps.

I'm going to do some more testing.

You can also get the tabs to appear by floating the image you can see to a new window and then merging it back in.

Final point - if you already have tabs, for example create two blank documents, and then open 1 more document, it will be shown as a tab. But if you open 2+ more documents at the same time, they'll be shown in the active tab.

It doesn't matter how you open the documents, whether drag and drop, File > Open, or right click their Finder icons.
