Opening AP2 beta in Adobe Bridge


Recommended Posts

I use Adobe Bridge as my DAM. If there is an AP file in Bridge and I double click it open AP2, not Beta, even if it was created in Beta. I want to change but I'm unable to find AP 2 Beta application. In Bridge, right click > open with > browse > C/Users/myname/.affinity/Photo/2.0Beta.  Plenty of folders but no application to tell Bridge to open AP2 Beta. It's the same for Designer and Publisher

Any ideas please?

 

Affinity Photo  2.5.3 / Publisher 2.5.3 / Designer 2.5.3

Affinity Photo Beta 2.5.5.2636 / Publisher Beta 2.5.5.2613 / Designer Beta 2.5.5.2613

Did you install the retail releases using the MSIX installer or the EXE installer?

Then, did you install the Beta release using the MSIX installer or the EXE installer?

If you used the EXE installers, then by default you would want to look in C:\Program Files\Affinity\something, probably. If you used the MSIX, it's difficult to find them, so it's probably better if you need to invoke the programs from other applications to uninstall and reinstall using the EXE installers.

Hi Walt. Oh, that's a lot of faffing. I think I'll just have AP2 Beta and Bridge open and drag and drop.

Thanks for your help.
