Caius Nocturne Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Initial stuff Using Affinity Designer. Using the latest version as of time of writing (2.3.0 from Affinity Store). Can be reproduced. Pre-existing documents seem to be unaffected. Software details Windows 11 Home (22H2 - 22621.2861) OpenCL HW acceleration off Issue is unaffected by whether this is on or off. Some hardware details Ryzen 3600, Radeon RX 570 8GB, 16GB Memory. My computer has 2 Monitors in action during this test. I also have a Huion Kamvas 16 2021 connected (with screen disabled) I think this bug emerged after I updated to Affinity Designer 2.3. How to reproduce The attached video demonstrates these steps: Make a new document where the preference is to embed images. Add an SVG to the file. This SVG will be described as 'Embedded' in the toolbar. Save the file. Close Affinity Designer. Reopen Affinity Designer with the file. The SVG will now be described as 'Linked' and will behave as such. If the source SVG file was deleted between sessions, the SVG is now gone from the document. Something I also show in the video is how even if you go to Resource Manager and tell Affinity Designer to embed the SVG explicitly, it will still behave as linked the next time the document is opened. And the next time it is opened is an important distinction here in the way this bug works - when I keep the session of the file going after adding the SVG, the SVG will behave as embedded, even when I delete the original file. It's only in the next session of the file that it will behave as linked, and the SVG in the file will be gone. Not that it should matter, but the SVG I used in this example and have attached (1f635_etc_dizzy_face.svg) was itself made and exported from Affinity Designer 2.3. 1f635_etc_dizzy_face.svg test1.mp4 A larger test with more files In the attached screenshots, I have performed another experiment with more than a hundred SVG images produced by differing earlier versions of Affinity Designer and found similar results.

walt.farrell Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Looks like it's already reported, and logged as af-1416, and apparently fixed in the 2.4 Beta when that arrives.

Staff Affinity Info Bot Posted January 3, 2024 Staff Posted January 3, 2024 The issue "Saving a file with a PSD embedded automatically switches the policy to linked when re-opening the file" (REF: AF-1416) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.3.1.2212". This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
