JoergB Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi, I'm working on Windows10 Pro and I simply cannot open any image file in Affinity Photo (current version, German). Nothing happens but the cooler gets louder sometimes. This happens since, I think, version 1.6x. All former versions worked well... very strange... any idea? Thank you!!

Staff Dan C Posted October 9, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi JoergB Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Is this happening when using File>Open, double clicking on the image in Explorer or dragging & dropping the image file into Affinity? (Or all 3 of these?) Could you please confirm the file type you're trying to open? Do you see the following in the top right of Affinity Photo when attempting to open the image? Apologies for all the questions, simply this isn't a common issue so I'd like to narrow down as many variables as possible Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

JoergB Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi Dan C, thanks very much for your help! To shortly answer your questions: All 3 of these cases and there is no info about loading... When I try to close AffinityPhoto, a message appears, saying that one file is still in loading progress and closing the program is not possible until all files are fully loaded. Badly translated from German Joerg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 11, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks for that info Joerg What file type are you trying to open? Is this from a network folder or drive? If so, please double check you have the correct permissions set to edit files on the drive. It may help to reset your Affinity Photo to default settings, you can reset your app back to its default settings by holding down the CTRL key while launching the app. When the Clear User Data window appears, click Select All and then Clear. Be aware that resetting your app back to its default settings will lose any custom settings such as keyboard shortcuts and brushes etc. To backup such settings before resetting the app, please watch our Affinity - Exporting User Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts video.

JoergB Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hi Dan, sorry for the late feedback, I'm very busy at the moment... I resetted the software and then tried to open a jpg file from my harddrive. Now there was a message in the upper right corner "loading 1 document" (translated). A few seconds later, the app crashed and I was asked to send the dump. So I did... Then I tried to run it as administrator. Same... not even a message in the top right corner... Then I uninstalled the software, cleaned registry, restarted the computer and reinstalled the software. Still not able to load any file... Hope that helps... Best, Joerg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 16, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 16, 2018 That's no problem at all, thanks for taking the time to reply I'm sorry to hear this didn't help. When re-installing the software, did you download a fresh copy of the .exe, or use the originally downloaded one? Could you please try creating a blank document, saving this and then opening it from Windows Explorer (like you would an image file). Does this open correctly? In the same document after testing the above, could you please try File>Place and select an image from the open dialog. Can you place this on the document as expected? It may be that the exiftool.exe is not functioning correctly, and this is what's causing your images not to open. What file type are you trying to open? Is this from a network folder or drive?

JoergB Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi Dan, I can't even create a new file Strange, that obviously nobody else does have this problem... Your questions: I used the current version .exe file for setup. All files are on my harddrive. Filetypes are mainly JPG, PNG, TIFF (RGB and CMYK) Thank you!!

Staff Dan C Posted October 17, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks for trying that, how very strange! Can you confirm, are all of your graphics card drivers up to date? It may be that the document/image is loading, but the canvas is not being drawn correctly. Under Edit>Preferences>Performance can you let me know what is set under Renderer? Could you please try using the following uninstaller from Microsoft to uninstall Affinity Photo, then download a fresh version of the .exe from here and install this? I appreciate this has been done already but I'm concerned that the installer you already had downloaded may have been corrupted slightly. https://support.microsoft.com/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed https://affinity.store/update/windows/photo/1/ Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

JoergB Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hi Dan, the renderer is "Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000". I uninstalled using the microsoft tool, then reinstalled a fresh copy in a new directory. Nothing changed... Because noone else seems to have this problem, I think about picking up my computer, opening the window and... Joerg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 22, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 22, 2018 Okay, no issue with the renderer. Are the drivers for your Intel HD Graphics 3000 fully updated? I'd like to try something a little less orthodox, could you please try downloading the Affinity Designer trial from the link below and installing this. Can you open images/create new documents in Designer? https://affinity.serif.com/designer/trial Secondly, have you installed and programs recently that may affect your display or rendering?

JoergB Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Dan, you're right!! Same problem with current version of Affinity Designer (I have a registered version). Drivers are up to date. I often try new software demos, especially graphic tools and plugins, music software, VST plugins... What do you think, what kind of program could make the trouble? Something, that starts up with Windows10? Thanks very much! Joerg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 29, 2018 It sounds as though it may be an issue with the Windows user itself, be it a setting or a program installed but it may be difficult to discern which. Could you please create a new Windows admin user then download and install the trial here, so that it's your only third party program installed. Can you open/create documents here?

Serena Butler Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Did this ever got solved? I have suddenly the same problem with Affinity Photo (1.7.2.471) on Windows 10 German (1903 fully patched). Designer is fine. drivers up to date. Reinstall already done. Profile is fine. Drag and Drop or open any file, Photo stuck on 1 Document loading Closing Window via Taskbar context menu: Results in the following: Clicking on "OK" results in quiting the program. So somehow the image GOT loaded but something failed. I need this fixed asap guys :-) cheers & thanks, Dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoergB Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 ...to be honest, I'm waiting until there are versions, you can really work with. So actually I don't work with any Affinity software. Hopefully in the near future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hi Serena Butler, Welcome to the forums With Affinity Photo closed, can you please open Windows Run (Windows Key + R) then paste the following string and press OK: %AppData%\Affinity\Photo\ In the window that opens, please rename folder 1.0 to anything else, ie 1.0_Old, then relaunch the app. You should be prompted to agree to the EULA before the app opens. Now please try opening a file from your Desktop, to make sure there's no permissions issues with the file itself. Does this open as expected?

Staff Dan C Posted September 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 3, 2019 6 minutes ago, Serena Butler said: I already did a clean reinstall .. but did again .. no difference. Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling the app doesn't clear these folders and it's likely an issue with the temp folder found here: %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\temp Could you please try the renaming of this folder as outlined above and let me know if this helps?

Serena Butler Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I guess I made myself not clear enough above :-) I did Dan no difference unfortunately ... and also when I do a reinstall I always delete the folder structure (thats what I meant by "clean reinstall") I btw have NO temp folder there but even I create one the problem persists ...

Staff Dan C Posted September 6, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 6, 2019 Thanks for your patience here Dirk, we believe we have discovered the cause of this bug and have already implemented a fix for the next update! The documents will not load in 1.7.2 due to a change in the way we read colour profiles, and I can see from your above screenshot that you are using a semi-custom profile 'LG HDK 4K(Non ASCII character)' Could you please confirm, under Preferences>Colour do you have 'Convert opened files to working space' selected? Unchecking this option, or using a standard sRGB colour profile should resolve this issue temporarily in version 1.7.2 - should you wish to re-update. Could you please attach a copy of this ICC profile here? This will allow us to test our implemented fix in development. Many thanks!
