Cannot SAVE in Catalina Beta OS

[McCarver USA]

Affinity Photo hangs on SAVE or SAVE AS and even OPEN in Catalina Beta.

Perhaps Serif isn't supporting Catalina yet?

Hi McCarver USA,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
As far as I know it should work fine in macOS Catalina. Although I haven't installed/tested it on any of my systems/Macs personally I already tried/played with Affinity Photo/Designer running on a demo system with macOS Catalina. With that said, there have been a few user reports regarding issues displaying the open/save dialogs (they appear empty) which I believe were also running macOS Catalina. We are still gathering info/looking into this.

Thanks Support.

I rebooted computer--no help.  Actually, I can't even OPEN a document.  The only way to open a photo is within the PHOTOS application and to choose EDIT/AFFINITY.  

Once I do anything with that document, trying to SAVE or SAVE AS gives me the SPINNING BEACH BALL.  Affinity freezes and has to be FORCE QUIT.  

I think Affinity looks like a fantastic program and I'm eager to make it work for me.  (I should never have tried the Catalina Beta; I suspect that's where the problem stems.

BTW, I'm on the mid-2019 MacBook Pro.  i-9; 16 GB memory; 512 GB hard drive.

Hey McCarver USA,

I'm currently waiting to get a Mac so we can install the Catalina beta.

We want to know about serious issues (opening, saving etc.) but Apple could potentially fix any of this overnight.

Apple released the latest Catalina Beta yesterday (July 23) and now Affinity can open/save.  Great!

I wasn't wrong then  Feel free to still let us know about any quirks so we can at least keep and eye on it
