Alexandre Valensi Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Hello everyone ! How are you doing today 🙂  I put this message because I have a big issue.  I'm using the V2 of Affinity Photos, Designer and I would like to know what does this message means please ? Each time I want to save as a PNG file I have this message, I save in somewhere sometimes it's working 😞 I'm a little bit confuse.  Thanks by advance.  Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted August 31, 2023 Staff Share Posted August 31, 2023 Hi @Alexandre Valensi, This message can indicate that the app is having a problem embedding the document's metadata in the final file when exporting to PNG, if the metadata of your exported .PNG is not a concern or required, you should be able to untick 'Embed metadata' in the 'Advanced' section of the PNG export menu which will allow the export to complete without any further problems. Alternatively if you could provide a copy of the problem .afdesign file we can take a look and see if the cause can be identified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I think it could also indicate that the cloud service managing that folder ("Creative Cloud Files") is somehow interfering with the writing of the metadata. In that case, Exporting to a different folder, not managed by a cloud service, might work. You could then manually copy the file to your desired destination.   Alexandre Valensi 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC:    Desktop:  Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090   Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad:  iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that would do it. Have you tried saving to a folder that is not managed by any cloud services?
