Bernard B Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi, Is it possible to run Affinity photo with a command line and with possibility to send pictures directly in the panoramic tool by example.

R C-R Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 On a Mac, it is possible to open (launch) the app using the Terminal command open /Applications/Affinity\ Photo.app, but there does not seem to be any way to pass any files to it. I suspect the same is true for Windows.

I've also tried several variations of it with no success. Have you by any chance discovered the latest way to open an Affinity application via the Terminal? My OS is Sonoma 14.4 if that makes a difference. Thanks! Appreciate your time and response🤠! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Hi @NagasonicTeenageWarhead, You need to ensure the name element of the Command Line prompt matches the name of the app as it appears in the Finder, e.g., open /Applications/Affinity\ Photo\ Beta.app open /Applications/Affinity\ Photo\ 1.10.6.app open /Applications/Affinity\ Photo\ 2.4.0.app Nagasonic Teenage Warhead 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.4.2 | Affinity Photo 2.4.2 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 Affinity Designer Beta 2.5.0 (2402) | Affinity Photo Beta 2.5.0 (2402) | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.5.0 (2402) Affinity Designer 1.7.3 | Affinity Photo 1.7.3 | Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 MacBook Pro 16GB, macOS Monterey 12.7.4, Magic Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least on my Mac running Catalina in Finder the names do not include the minor version numbers, so instead of open /Applications/Affinity\ Photo\ 2.4.0.app the command would be open /Applications/Affinity\ Photo\ 2.app. A simple way to see what is required is to open a Terminal window, type the word "open" followed by a space, & then from the Finder Applications window drag the app into the Terminal window. You can press return to open the app. Nagasonic Teenage Warhead and Hangman 2 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
