Hausmeistah Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Before the recent update it was possible to switch from designer to photo an vice versa but since I updated to the current version (1.7.0.367) the menu option is grey and not active. How can I "connect" the applications again so that I can open a designer document in photo from within designer again? Any help is appreciated! Kind regards Tomas Quote
carl123 Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Have you upgraded both Designer and Photo to 1.7 and have you run each program at least once?

Hausmeistah Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Yes, I have upgraded both programs to the latest version and have run them multiple times. Quote

carl123 Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 There was another report about this here that resolved itself https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/87223-edit-in-designer-didnt-work-now-its-working/ I can only suggest try rebooting your PC if you have not done so since you upgraded both programs Also does the greyed out option affect both program (Designer and Photo)or just one?

Hausmeistah Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Yes, it affects both. I have rebooted and nothing changed. I had the previous beta versions installed as well. I think I will deinstall everything and later install both of the current versions again. Thanks for your help - well appreciated! Quote

I opend both programs but still I can't switch to each other from within the program (menu item ist still grey). Quote

Hausmeistah Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Funny - it did the trick for photo. I can now switch to designer but not back again. The menu item ist still grey in designer, Does it matter in which sequence I have to open the same file? Quote

Hausmeistah Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 That finally did the trick for me - now I can open files from within both applications. Thanks a lot for your help - it's well appreciated. Kind regards Tomas PS: can't wait until june 19th to finally get my copy of publisher! Great work. Callum 1 Quote
