RealAle Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted April 23, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 23, 2019 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 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

RealAle Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi Callum, Thank you for your quick reply and explanation. I am now setting the correct default app. for this application. 18 hours ago, Callum said: In the Type section does it say Affinity Publisher file (.afphoto) No - the section only went as far as Affinity Publisher and on installing Design Affinity Design. there was / is no (.afphoto) shown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
