Trensharo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Just purchased Affinity Photo and Designer on Windows. They don't show up in Default Apps -> Set Defaults by App. It would be nice if the installer actually registered them there as handlers for supported file types so that we could fix that (via "Default Apps"). This never seemed to be problematic on my iMac, but I think it's cause I bought Designer on release, before Photo... so the install order was the opposite of what I did on Windows. The apps seem to fight for associations, so those get REALLY messy if you install i.e. Designer after Photo. It will steal a number of Photo associations, which don't make sense to have defaulted to a Vector Graphics app. Not sure how it works if installed in a different order, but I may try uninstalling both and installing designer first so that a bunch of bitmap/raster formats aren't opening by default in Affinity Designer. Kind of wish I would have known this before I installed them. It's really annoying. Edited June 17, 2019 by Trensharo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trensharo Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Largely fixed by going through all the file associations, manually, and changing the bitmap/RAW image formats to Photo and Vector Formats to Designer.
