Old Bruce Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Same here, not with the place image tool or the menu command. Nothing happens I can see and select the Photo document but that is it. Build .109 documents toss up a warning about being from a newer version of the suite when I use Designer's beta to try and open a Photo document. Plus I have to check if I can crash the publisher beta again trying to place a document.

Old Bruce Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Further to this is that both Designer and Publisher's current betas will not open a beta .109 Photo document, they just hang as soon as the open button is clicked. Both will open 1.6 versions of Affinity Photo. A force quit is the only way to get out of the situation.

Nana Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I can also reproduce this issue. These are the steps. Open an image file in Affinity Photo beta (1.7.0.109). Save the file as <whatever_filename>.afphoto Open Affinity Designer beta (1.7.0.4) Create a new document in AD Using either the "Place Image Tool" or "Place" command in the File menu, try to place the file saved in step 2 into the new document. AD displays a warning message about the file having a large meta data and presents an option to reduce it. Once you select No, nothing happens. I can also confirm that this doesn't happen with placing the same file saved in step 2 into a document in Affinity Photo (1.7.0.109) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got the warning message because the image I used in step 1 is a raw file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Bear in mind that older versions of Affinity products cannot always open documents from newer versions. Best guess is that the .109 beta of Photo has a newer subversion of the file format and the other two products will need to catch up with the next releases of their betas?

What it looks like in designer (beta), I can't say, because I'm not beta-testing the designer. But it does NOT work in Designer 1.6.1.

Staff Chris B Posted February 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'm not sure what's gone wrong here. I've contacted the lead dev for each app to see what has happened and what we can expect going forward. Thanks for raising this.

Staff Chris B Posted February 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2019 It looks like we've made a small change but once Publisher and Designer catch up, everything will be working fine again. It has been logged so we can properly test it when the time comes.
