wrc04 Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 I had two folders for Affinity Publisher in my finder. Any new files I saved were saved in them both but my original files were not found in either. When I used Affinity Publisher to open an existing file, it found the right folder right away. So that was strange. I managed to get all my files into one of the Affinity Publisher folders and it seems to be working fine now but it is missing the icon on the folder. The other strange part is the second Affinity Publisher folder is still in my finder and when I double click it open it is empty and shows a file path to Affinity Publisher 3. I don't know what that means but I thought I would at least report it. I've attached a screen shot. When I try to delete the folder I get a warning. I've attached that screen shot too. Is it safe to proceed so I can get rid of this second folder? Thank you. Quote
walt.farrell Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Perhaps the "3" was simply a counter added automatically at some time to distinguish between an earlier folder named affinitypublisher and another named affinitypublisher 2, so you don't have 3 folders named affinitypublisher.

wrc04 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Posted October 14, 2023 Hey Walt, yeah I was figuring that was probably what it was about but I just wanted to double check incase it was something else. I never saw 3 folders at once but that would account for my main one not being present in the finder at time the other two were. One thing I forgot to mention was when I was in the middle of trying to figure out all this multiple folder situation, I logged in to my iCloud account via my browser and my Affinity Publisher folder is no where to be found. I still don't see it. Doesn't make any sense. When I create, save or sync a file it is working in my finder and it is showing up in on my iPad as well. So the syncing is working but there is no folder or sign of it on iCloud.com. Any ideas why this may be happening? There is no option I can see on iCloud.com to search for folders. You just have to scroll through the files that are visible, so that is stupid and inconvenient in this case. Thanks for any ideas Walt. Quote
walt.farrell Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Sorry, but I have no other ideas. Someone with more Mac and/or iCloud experience than I may have something for you (I hope).
