All my downloads are saving as Affinity files

[kellad]

I am using Windows. I started using Affinity Publisher today.  I downloaded several .svg and .eps files from Creative Fabrica.  All of those files did show the Affinity icon and are labeled as Affinity Publisher Files as the type.  Properties of the file still shows them as .eps and .sgv.  When I  "place" them in Affinity Publisher by selecting the Affinity Pub file, the image is not editable.  I can only select it with the move tool and move it, stretch it, or make it smaller.  The elements of the layers are not editable.  I read about choosing "edit document" and "releasing" the elements of the layers.  I was going to try that, but the "edit document" button was not an option.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Hi @kellad

Affinity Publisher is first and foremost a DTP programme and, with the Designer Persona, offers basic functions for editing vector files, including .svg and .eps.
More extensive editing is possible with the retail version of Affinity Designer. 
With .eps files, the problem is that if they are not saved with PDF-compatible preferences, they will only load as a rasterised image. 
This is because original files created with Adobe programs have a proprietary data area that cannot be read or written by third-party programs.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Windows shows them as that "file type" because Publisher has indicated that it can Open them. Windows needs to pick something for the file type, and it will often choose the last program you installed that indicates it can handle them, or sometimes the last program you used with them. It's better to configure File Explorer to show the file extension, and to use the name + extension to determine what kind of file you have, ignoring the file type (and sometimes ignoring the icon, too).

You might need to have the Move Tool active (I can't check right now). If that doesn't work, please give us a screenshot showing the complete application window, including the Layers panel with that layer selected.
