artnok Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 Strange bug since a few updates, Affinity always wants to connect to this fancy server location... Is there a workaround or something we can do? N. Quote
artnok Posted December 9, 2023 Author Posted December 9, 2023 This happens when : • I'm opening Affinity Designer • After having closed a document (I have to click four times in a row on "cancel button" And it came out of nowhere... I firstly thought it was related to some documents I have directly saved on Google Drive. But it still happens when nothing is related to dropbox or google drive.... Quote

artnok Posted December 9, 2023 Author Posted December 9, 2023 Ok, but why does it display those boxes for a while ? It's becoming annoying. Quote

Because you have configured something in your system to display them. You can change that configuration and allow the applications to communicate without prompting.

artnok Posted December 9, 2023 Author Posted December 9, 2023 Never had those types of messages before. And I don't see what I could have done that would have forced this type message... Anyone with that behavior except me? By the way, this absolutely the only app that displays that type of message over dozens and dozens of other apps I'm using... Quote

loukash Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 @artnok, what you may want to try is rebooting your Mac in the Safe Mode which should purge most of the system caches. Here's how: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh21245/mac Then reboot again normally.
