"Yes" – Reassign missing resource file path when opening ... sorted by date

There is an issue with reassigning a missing resource file path when opening an .afpub:  When the finder window to detect the missing file is set to sorted by date then the file structure gets quite confused and shows white empty space. It makes folder content to appear outside their containing folder, the order by date appears to mix direction (up/down) of files and folders.

Isn't that a standard Mac Finder dialog? Wouldn't it behave the same way if you just opened Finder and carried out those same operations on the same directory?

If so, how is its behavior an Affinity problem?

No, it is not a Mac Finder dialog. Apparently it was designed to simulate the macOS standard but faulty.

It is caused by Affinity because the issues occur only within Affinity, also its appearance is slightly different to the native macOS look, for instance the title bar design (color, height, text style).  And the date sort order (screenshot from video above) would not be presented that way by macOS, not to mention the white gap at the end of the screencast.

Sorry.

Thank you for reporting a problem using 1.7.x . It appears that a member of the Affinity QA team didn't get round to fully investigating this specific report posted in the bugs forums. We are very sorry for this oversight. Yours is one of a number of reports that I am posting this apology to, using an automated script.

Now we have released 1.8.3 on all platforms containing many hundreds of bug fixes, and we hope your problem has already been fully addressed. If you still have this problem in the 1.8.3 release build, then the QA team would really appreciate you reporting again it in the relevant Bugs forum.

Each of those links above contains instructions how best to report a bug to us. If that is what you already did in this thread just copy paste your original report into a new thread. We appreciate all the information that you have including sample files and screen shots to help us replicate your problem.

This thread has now been locked as the QA team are not following the threads to which this automatic reply is made, which is why we would appreciate a new bug report if you are still have this problem in the current 1.8.3 release build.
