artemesia66 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It would be extremely helpful if the file icons for the affinity format showed a thumbnail of the file in the finder like most other image formats, rather than a blank icon. I'm starting to acquire a fair number of Affinity files, and it's a pain to not be able to tell them apart visually... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellBWilson Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 My .afdesign files do show up in Finder's preview: I did have problems with no image files showing up in Finder's preview, I think it was after installing a Flash (Player?) update. I had to re-install OSX 10.10.2 to get the previews to show again. Do your other image files show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellBWilson Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 My .afdesign files also show up as icons: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemesia66 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Well, that's interesting! I will investigate. I have no problem with any other image files, but I am on 10.10.2 as well. I don't relish the thought of reinstalling, but maybe that will be necessary. thanks for letting me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemesia66 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Reinstalled 10.10.2, and that seems to have taken care of it--not for exiting files, but for new saves. Thanks so much for the help. Actually, still no previews in list view--looks like you don't either(?), but at least they're there in income view, and in the preview in the right column.

Staff MEB Posted March 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 16, 2015 There's no icons in list view. That's a known bug. But it should work for all other views/previews. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemesia66 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Good to know. I now have previews in the other views, which I didn't before, and I'm sure the other will be along ;) You guys are doing a great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellBWilson Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Glad you fixed it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryM Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am on 10.8.5 and have no previews. Do previews only work in later OS versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
