norbinw Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Whenever I select 3 files on the desktop and right click open with designer (PDF), it opens 2.. If I select 6-7, it opens 4. Seriously, it's annoying AF and it's been around for quite some time. Photoshop opens them fine, so it's not a Mac Finder thing.. Intel Macbook 16", latest OS.

Staff Lee D Posted October 5, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 5, 2023 I can't seem to replicate this on my macOS system using Designer V2 (2.2). If I select 4-5 PDF files and use Open With > all of them open, some quicker than others depending on content/multiple pages. Does it matter which files are selected? Do any have security applied? Do they open in Designer individually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbinw Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Because it happens randomly... This morning I tried to open 3 files, 2 opened. then 7 and 5 opened. Files are not locked, and open individually. I have tried the SAME files now, and all opened. This is as random as the pressing export to export, yet nothing happens bug.. I will try to take a video of it next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 On Sonoma? Are the files all downloaded from iCloud or whatever cloud you're using? If iCloud, click their iCloud status icons to download them before trying to open.

This wil make waiting less long for the user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 This is a known bug, AFB-7077 which originally only affected Designer and Publisher on Monterey... It still exists in Publisher V2.2.0 but appears to be working correctly in both Designer and Photo v2.2.0... You mention in your first post that you are using the latest OS, so are we correct to assume Sonoma? If so then this would appear to be a regression in Designer since I can't see AFB-7077 listed as having been fixed in the bug fix lists.

Hangman Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 For me, it is dependent on whether or not you've had an Affinity document opened prior to opening the multiple PDF files. If you reboot Designer or Publisher then select multiple PDF files, right-click and select 'Open With' then they all open... If you reboot Designer or Publisher, create a new Designer or Publisher document, then close it (leaving the app open) when you then select multiple PDF files, right-click and select 'Open With' this is what I get... Results After Creating a New Document and then Closing the New Documenty Leaving Affinity Designer or Publisher Open One pdf selected - one pdf opens Two pdf's selected - one pdf opens Three pdf's selected - two pdf's open Four pdf's selected - two pdf's open Five pdf's selected - three pdf's open Six pdf's selected - three pdf's open Seven pdf's selected - four pdf's open Eight pdf's selected - four pdf's open Nine pdf's selected - five pdf's open Ten pdf's selected - five pdf's open Eleven pdf's selected - six pdf's open Twelve pdf's selected - six pdf's open norbinw 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.3.1.2217 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1.2217 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1.2217 Affinity Designer Beta 2.4.0.2256 | Affinity Photo Beta 2.4.0.2256 | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.4.0.2256 Affinity Designer 1.7.3 | Affinity Photo 1.7.3 | Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 MacBook Pro 16GB, macOS Monterey 12.6.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
