safoster71 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 is there a way to get an icon preview saved with the file? As it stands it saves things with an empty doc icon... would help in finding things a bit quicker :-) MelG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Safoster71, If you follow the steps given by Signguy here This will get the previews of .afphoto showing within the Finder app. I can confirm this works, as I just had to do it to get my previews working :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssq Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't see any previews even after having done the terminal command - only see the Affinity Photo icon. What could be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Ssq, Could you try restarting Finder and the Launcher app. You should then be able to see the thumbnails for .afdesign and .afphoto files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssq Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I did both the terminal command and relaunched the Finder. Still won't show anything else but the Photo icon for .afphoto files, nor does preview (with the spacebar) work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilleG Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 There's one other possibility. This one bit me a couple of times. The second time after an OS update when it changed these settings back to the default. In Security and Privacy, under "Allow applications downloaded from:" if I had "Mac App Store and identified developers" checked it would not let me see an Affinity file icon. I changed that to "Anywhere" and got the icons back. Great "security" when it will let you open and run the application but not see its file icon, huh? Hope this works for you. All I can tell you is that it did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
