Staff Callum Posted May 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hi Andrew Belsey, Welcome to the forums If possible could you try exporting a JPG to your desktop to see if that appears?

Finder provides several different view options, which can be set on a per window basis. One of them is to show icon previews or not. If that is not enabled for a particular Finder window, you will just see the generic JPEG document icon for that type of file: Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Brighton Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Also, there are cases where you have to kick the finder in the shins to get it to (re)generate thumbnails. There are multiple possible issues behind it so if what RCR suggests isn't your issue, do a web search for "force finder to create thumbnails". I'm not posting the several alternatives here (the results of the search) because when you read through those posts/threads, it seems to be pretty variable about which approaches work and under what conditions. There will probably be some work involved on your machine to figure out what your particular case is.

Andrew Belsey Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Thanks very much RCR, Brad and Callum. I can see JPGs otherwise, it is just those created from within Affinity Photo! Any thoughts? Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To begin with, try the suggestions already made in this topic & let us know the results. Some screenshots would also help.

Cherry moon Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think this is the same problem I'm having . I've posted about losing my entire library of raw files and edited jpgs. I'm very new to affinity, so layman's terms are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
