These methods are the "official" way under Windows to get thumbnails for files. The standard method (which worked since 2008) and a new method (introduced in Windows 8 ). IMatch uses 2 alternative methods to extract thumbnails from files not directly supported.
#Affinity photo app .cr2 update#
Mario will you release an update to fix this or will users have to upgrade to the 2017 version to see Affinty thumbnails? I am currently using the trial version and can confirm this isn't working on the trial version either. Proprietary files are always a dead-end or a cheap lock-in mechanism for customers. This includes RAW, PSD and now also the Affinity files. I don't rely on proprietary file formats, ever. I have made it a rule that all my AfDesigner files are also saved as SVG, which is documented and portable. Another long-term compatibility problem dooming. And as we can see, even the 3 methods IMatch now uses to extract thumbnails don't work for all their files. They will keep their formats proprietary. They also plan to do their own "DAM" and so no other DAM vendor can hope to get anything from them. They made it very clear in their forum in response to my question (and the question from several other users/programmers) that they won't document their file format or provide 3rd party access.
afphoto will allow thumbnails to be extracted in the future.ĭon't put your hopes up. Please attach your test file or send it to my support email. I have several hundred Aff Designer files here, and a dozend photo files. When Explorer shows the file, IMatch should be able to show it to.
