Tschens Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hello, back from holiday where I developed a lot of pictures on my iPad, I would like to transfer the *.afphoto files to my desktop computer. Is there a quick and easy way? So far, I only found the solution using the "save a copy" function which is very cumbersome, especially since all files are named "Unbenannt.afphoto" (unnamed.afphoto in English, I guess). If there is no easier way, this should be among the upcoming ToDos of the dev team. Thx for any help. Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safoster71 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 in the process i've come up with, i use another app called "Documents" which allows wi-fi ftp. I enabled Wi-fi ftp in that app, then "save a copy" to a folder i have made in "Documents (the app), and then on the desktop go to the 192.168.1.x network address of the ipad and then drag the file to the desktop. This seems to work well, (although the desktop can only "see" it when Documents is active on the ipad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safoster71 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 i have just now discovered that the afphoto file made on a ipad is too "new" to open in the appstore's present version of affinity photo. The "beta" version does open them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tschens Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 This sounds even more complicated than saving a copy via Affinity Photo for iPad into the cloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safoster71 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 it isnt once you make a shortcut on your mac to that address. I made a "Ipadpro" folder in Documents, and can save files straight to it from ipad-photo and then retrieve it to the desktop through the shortcut.

Very good worround ;) But there is acutally a proper way to do it, or several ways (handoff/ iTunes/ better local file management) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
