Exported files aren't closed immediately

[IanSG]

Exported files aren't closed until either the document is closed in AP or another export is performed.

Hi IanSG,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

I'm not sure I understood you. What do you mean with exported files are not closed? When you export a file Affinity Photo saves/writes it to the folder you have chosen. What remains open is the original document but this is by design. The document is only closed when you explicitly close it. Am I missing something?

Hi

 

OK, try this - export an image as a PDF and, without doing anything else, try opening the PDF file.  You'll get a message saying the file is open in another application.  The exported file isn't closed until the image is closed in AP or another export is done.  I've tried this with a few export formats and found the same issue.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the clarification Ian. I'm having trouble reproducing this on my system but I'm still trying/looking into it.

If it helps, I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise.

I've just applied the latest Windows updates, and what was a rock solid problem has now gone away!  Who'd be a developer!?  ;)

Glad to know it's sorted out. Thanks for the info Ian.
