"Edit in Designer" didn't work, now it's working

[agcphoto]

When I first opened Photo 1.7, it would not allow me "Edit in Designer", or vice versa. I don't think it's a bug, but perhaps the program just needs some time to link everything together? This was the case on two computers, by the way.... I had a similar experience with Designer 1.7 not allowing me to "Edit in Photo". Things seem to be working in both directions now.

Hi @agcphoto

You must run the software once so that the option becomes available. If you've only updated and not run it, it might not have the "full" functionality. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

I agree, thank you for the observation.

Since I downloaded the latest version of designer and photo the option to edit in designer/photo is grayed out. Am I missing an obvious?

For right now, I'm right clicking on the unopened document & choosing to open with Designer as  a work around.

Thanks!

Hi Chul,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Run both apps at least once so they can recognise each other. Let us know if you still have issues.

 

[Chul]

I did. But it still won't work.

[MEB]

Have you moved the applications to another place other than the root of the Applications folder?

[Chul]

No we haven't.

Hi Chul,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you. We have improved app detection/checks in the latest builds and this shouldn't be an issue from now on. The respective retail update should be out soon. Let us now if you still have issues after updating both apps. Thanks for your support/understanding.

 

[Chul]

Sounds good! I will see if that fixes the problem once the updates are available.

Thanks for your help, MEB!

Works fine now that I'm using 1.7.2!

Thanks!!
