REB Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I have just downloaded Affinity Photo, but when I drag the application to the Application Folder it just installs a short cut and does not install it on the computer. I am running a new Mac Mini with Mojave Ver. 10.14.6. Every time I start my computer it asks my to install the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C J T Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 If you got the download from Affinity, I think you need to double-click on the .dmg file that you downloaded to start the installation procedure. REB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you holding down any modifier keys when/while you drag the icon over to the applications folder? You shouldn't. Try to copy and paste the file into the application folder. When all else fails I will quit all applications and restart my computer (gets rid of a lot of computer cruft) then try again.

REB Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thank you both for your advice. I have copied and pasted the application into the Application Folder and it now loads up without asking to be installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
