lowerider Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The command, "File > Open folder in Explorer", no longer opens File Explorer at the location of the Affinity Photo file currently being worked on. This worked in previous 1.7 beta versions.

I first thought the problem lay with dragging an A-Photo file from Win Explorer to A-Photo app window to open it. But I still experience the same problem when I open an A-Photo file using the "File > Open" or "File > Open recent" commands. I've made sure that A-Photo is not on my anti-virus apps "block list".

walt.farrell Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Interesting. Works for me whether I open the file directly, or drag/drop it to get it opened. File > Open Folder in Explorer works in both cases. What symptom do you see when it fails? Does it open the wrong folder (which one?), or do nothing at all? Have you tried restarting Photo, or rebooting Windows? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowerider Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 I think I've found the issue! The A-Photo file (that kept "Open folder in Explorer" from working properly) had a file name that included a comma (","). After removing that character from the file name, "Open folder in Explorer" functioned again, whether I opened the file via drag-and-drop from File Explorer, "Open" command, or "Open recent" command. I will note though, the "Open folder in Explorer" command worked in previous 1.7beta releases with filenames that included the comma character. At least that's what I remember. walt.farrell 1 What I do: Document design/typesetting; Stock photo images; Digital art | Apps I use: Publisher, Photo, Designer | My PC: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U; 16.0GB RAM; Win 10 Home (21H2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted May 7, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 7, 2019 This seems to be working okay on the macOS version. I'll check with the Windows team what they would expect to happen. Ideally, it would be able to handle it. How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
