Affinity apps thumbnails/previews in Sequoia

[Inspector Gadget]

Since upgrading to Sequoia 15.0 when files saved from Photo, Designer, Publisher no preview icon is available in the Thumbnail.  I have rebooted Macbook Air M1 but problem still exists. If I export as jpeg it shows thumbnail as normal. See attached. I never had this problim with Sanoma.  Anyone else having these problems.

Hi @Inspector Gadget,
This is a known issue that's already logged with dev. Apple has new APIs and extensions for generating thumbnails and Quick Look previews. We are working on the issue and hope to have a fix soon.

Thanks MEB.  Hope this will get sorted soon as it is very annoying especially when you have a lot of files saved.  It means exporting each one as a jpeg, opening it and copying it  in preview, click on info of the photoshop file and past as the icon.   Very time consuming as you will agree but essential at the moment if  you want to know which files are which. File attached.  Thanks for your prompt reply.

Sorry that should say Affinity Photo File

Gentlemen this issue is effecting our work when you have a lot of files 

its very hard to open many files to find what you want

if i may ask why the developers did not address this issue with the OS beta version so it will not affect your customers??

This is a maddening, massive usability problem and it is exactly what Beta developer releases are for. I constantly recommend Affinity / Serif products to very large groups of potential users but I will no longer do so if the team can't correctly time feature complete releases with Mac OS updates.

Yep-same thing happened to me when I updated to Sequoia on my M3 MacBook Pro.

Hi Guys,

 

Will Affinity address the problems that are posted here urgently or will they just ignore them.  This is not a very good reflection on the software, especially when end users recommended this product to their friends and customers.  I had a person call me today Sept 25.  He migrated to Affinity two months ago on my recommendation  and was very  impressed. He is now thinking seriously about going back to Adobe, as his comments echoed Fahed's sentiments exactly with regard to the beta version. As he rightly says, " whats the point of having professional software if you cant be bothered to thoroughly test beta applications with future updates on operating systems".  Im sure Affinity was well aware of Sequoia being released and had plenty of time to troubleshoot the software.

O ooo, come on AF! I have an urgent job to do today, including going through a bunch of afphoto's. No thumbnail- and quicklook picture is terrible time consuming and disturbs my logical lining up 🤯 This is of the atmost urgency (for me, and a lot of co-fans)

Can't be a hard to solve problem, ??

Succes, I too have a working-weekend 😆, Jos

Hello everyone, the same problem since the update to mac os15, and I wonder is this happening because Canva owns Affinity?

There is no reason to think it has anything to do with Canva's acquisition of Serif.

Please refer to @MEB's post above for the source of the problem.
