c0rky Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Today I created and saved two files in Affinity Designer for MacOS v1.6.5. Saved afdesign files on a NAS network drive. Placed afdesign files into a Affinity Published Beta v1.7.0.132 document. A couple of hours later I attempted to open the Affinity Designer files on a different network computer. Files unable to be opened. Error message "Failed to open file. The file version is not supported by this version of Affinity". Also unable to open files on original computer. Both computers on same software version. No software updates have occured. One of the two files attached.

Staff stokerg Posted May 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hi c0rky and Welcome to the Forums, I'll need to get this logged with the Dev team to see if they can recover it but with it only being 33KB i doubt there will be anything to recover We have had issues with saving directly to a network drive or Cloud storage and always advise to save locally and then copy the file over to the NAS/Cloud drive. It's something the Dev team are aware of and believe improvements to this are in the 1.7 beta of Designer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMA-20190510-Graphic-Components.afdesign This file opens without problems in the Mac 1.7 customer beta version of Affinity Designer, so my guess is when you placed it in Affinity Published Beta, one way or another it was converted into the Affinity Designer 1.7 beta format, & that is why it won't open in the 1.6 version. stokerg 1 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...

Thanks @R C-R I didn’t think to try it in the beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0rky Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thank you for the timely and thoughtful response, appreciated. The file is indeed small - simple content. Is any guidance available on the likely non-beta release date of Designer 1.7? If not I'll edit file in 1.7 beta. Separately, congrats to Affinity team on Publisher beta - fabulous emerging product.
