So, it would appear that this is not the issue. I then tried each app separately, each time trying to open an image downloaded from Unsplash. I did a restart every time, preventing the apps auto-opening at Start. Issue persists. Initially tried with none of the apps running after restart. Issue persists. I took your advice and (in my spare Administrator Account) worked through these - carefully checking Activity Monitor for running processes each time - as follows. I checked Activity Monitor for anything else running in the background, but nothing but standard Apple processes. I also have another apps running in the background (Anti-Virus) and I also disabled that (just in case). I think that some of the issues with Windows (one of the major reasons I switched to Macs, along with the easy integration with my iPhones) were mitigated by Apple choosing to use a Sandboxed system. I remember when Mac were free from malicious attacks, Ransomware, malware and viruses - no longer the case. I agree there were issues with Macs from the beginning, however, I guess that now Macs are so popular, and the sheer number of apps and processes, Apple have started to run into the same issues as Windows. Rest of Menu Bar - Standard Apple Items (Airplay, Spotlight, HD Name, Time Machine, Notifications) The apps running in the background are (from L to R): Apologies for the tardy reply, but I am sure that you will see why. I have set the Autosave in preferences to every 30 seconds, in order to ensure that I lose as little of the prior work as possible, it is very frustrating. Further sometimes when working on an image, often the file will not save, and I have to quit Affinity Photo (sometimes Force Quit through Activity Monitor), and reopen so that the work done is not lost. When downloading from Unsplash, for instance, the Preferences issue is always present. In fact the issue is not confined to this, often happens when working on an image, loaded from Raw or straight into the Photo Persona. This occurs with files on the hard drive, Downloads folder and desktop. I have not experienced any difficulty with Dropbox. The example in the video shows a Dropbox file, but the issue is the same for the desktop. The issue persists wherever the files are stored. The videos were made with the screenshot on the Mac, so I am a little unsure as to why you cannot view - I can view the uploaded videos without issue. The videos are the same video - uploaded twice! Odd, as the Forum uploader showed the first upload had failed, but that is a matter fo another day. I have attached a short screen capture which displays the issue. Screen Recording at 18.10.52.mov Screen Recording at 18.10.52.mov It does not happen with any other app on my Mac. I have been through the Apple procedures to fix permissions issues, but it persists (Recovery & Repair Home Folder and re-install Catalina) but have not solved this issue thus far. I have checked to see if other users are experiencing similar issues, but could not find any further information on this issue. The only way to get the files to open is to quit Affinity Photo and restart, then all is well. I have tried changing the permissions in the info panel, but to no avail. Whatever method I use, the file will not load. I open a file (or number of files), and all goes well, I then try to open another image from the same folder, and get a permissions error (you do not have permission to open this file). I can open files (in this case jpg) but also suffer same issue on tiffs, raw and afphoto files. MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) - 2.9GHz Quad Core - 16Gb Memory I have been extremely frustrated (once again) with Affinity Photo on my Mac.
