Saved Photos idntify wrong TYPE


Recommended Posts

Hi

My OS is Windows 10

Affinity Photo since it was sold as a Windows application

Affinity Publisher since first Beta

Affinity Design. Since March 2019

My first purchase was Affinity Photo.

When I saved an image it was stored as Name: - Name I gave it.afphoto

Date modified: identified

Type: Affinity Photo File 

Size: size of file

When clicking on a file, Affinity Photo opened up and the image appeared.

I then acquired Publisher - from time it was first offered

When I then saved any photo all section other than "Type" gave the correct information

However the "Type section" changed to Affinity Publisher File, Obviously if I then clicked on the image it returned how do want to open this file

I then purchased Affinity Designer and Hey Presto the "Type Section" changed to Affinity Designer File and all newly saved .afphoto images followed. Again if I then click on the image it returns how do want to open this file.

In every other respect Affinity Photo works as it should from activating it via the desktop icon- to locating and opening an image - editing and saving, so from that point of view there is not a problem.

Neither Publisher nor Designer is responding the same way.

My Question is: Why is this Happening as my curiosity has got the better of me.

Many thanks

Hi RealAle,

In the Type section does it say Affinity Publisher file (.afphoto) ? I imagine the first part of this line the "affinity publisher file" part is actually just reading which app is set to open this file by default and not which app created the file. If you change the default program used to open .afphoto files to Affinity Photo this issue should go away :)

No - the section only went as far as Affinity Publisher and on installing Design Affinity Design. there was / is no  (.afphoto) shown
