Minus44 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 GEAR: Affinity Photo for iPad v1.7.0.135 on an iPad Pro 9.7" using iOS 12.3.1 ISSUE: While trying to use "New Batch Job" I selected a batch of raw files stored in a cloud-based folder. I made my choices about the conversion format and dimensions, as well as other JPEG options such as Quality/compression, ICC Profile, etc. And then I tap "OK" to convert from raw to JPEG. The batch job looks like it runs; however, the batch conversion to JPEG doesn't get saved. The selected output folder is empty. (Doesn't matter whether the output folder is on Dropbox or OneDrive.) Can anyone confirm the above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minus44 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 I found out something interesting: As most of us know, some apps such as Affinity Photo, Acrobat, Lumafusion, etc. create their own folder structure local to the iPad. Curiously, I’m able to export to local folders on the iPad. However, I cannot export to any true cloud drive such as Dropbox, OneDrive, or my iCloud Drive.

Minus44 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Downloaded the latest beta via TestFlight. Although I saw no mention of a fix for new batch jobs saved to cloud drives, I was hoping maybe it would get silently rolled in. Please don't leave this needed fix behind.

Minus44 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Reiterating my request that the "New Batch Job" receive a bit of love so that it will save to cloud storage such as Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive. (NOTE: There doesn't seem to be any issue with saving batches to iCloud Drive.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted June 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hi all, Sorry for the delayed reply. I've logged this with our developers. Thanks, Gabe. Minus44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minus44 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Unfortunately, this is still not yet addressed with 1.7.2.147. I even tried deleting the 146 beta and reinstalling the 147 beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minus44 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 ... meaning I can run a new batch and save my converted raw files to an iCloud folder, but not to OneDrive or Dropbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minus44 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 The latest beta 1.7.2.149 RC1 still shows no movement on this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Lol, I’m starting to think affinity only want us iPad users to use 'Apple’ cloud services.

Minus44 Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Still no progress on this bug in Affinity Photo 1.7.2.151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minus44 Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Now on version 1.7.2.153, which is supposed to be the GM Seed. No surprise really: Still no ability for New Batch Job to save on any other cloud-based storage other than iCloud. (So no Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. for you!)

Got a bunch of RAW’s I want to process to jpeg’s but it’s soooo much work if I have to do it one at a time. Developers, fix it asap! Ulysses has been asking this for months and still nothing, that’s bad costumer service imo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developers, fix it asap! Ulysses has been asking this for months and still nothing, that’s bad costumer service imo... My hope is that they’re coming up with a more comprehensive solution than might be guessed. For example, although I greatly desire the New Batch Job to function properly with other cloud storage besides iCloud, even if they fixed it there would still be a basic problem. When adjusting raw photos in Affinity Photo, there is no means to store or save your adjustment settings. Affinity Photo does not currently make use of XMP sidecar files, nor does it have any sort of library/catalog of adjustments you make to your files. This renders the New Batch Job function slightly less capable, even if cloud storage was functioning properly. So in the BIGGER PICTURE of things, what I wish is that the developers work on both sides of this problem. Maybe that’s where they’re headed. No pressure, Affinity Developers.

Minus44 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well... I suppose this is pretty much as official an acknowledgement as we are likely to get. When selecting an output folder, you are given the message that "Access will be granted to iCloud Drive" with all other cloud storage options being grayed out and inaccessible to Affinity Photo for iPad. I still can’t help but wonder WHY we cannot have our choice of cloud storage. I remain hopeful that Serif has a larger goal in store, such as I described in a previous post.
