Affinity Photo 2 is now a Windows App.
The good news is that Photo 2 can stay running and “Launch registered application” will switch the images.
The other news is that Photo 2 is a Windows App now. Adding Photo 2 to Workspace as “Registered Application” is not quite as straight forward as with legacy .exe applications.
Here’s how to do it:
Method 1
- Open the “Run” dialog box using the Win + R key combination.
- Type the command shell:AppsFolder, and hit “Enter” to open the Windows Apps folder.
- Right-click on Affinity Photo 2 and click “Create shortcut”. You will be offered to create shortcut on the desktop. Do it.
- Right-click on Affinity Photo 2 and click “Copy as path”.
- Paste (ctrl-v) the path into the “other” text field of the Registered Application dialog.
- Enjoy!
Method 2
- make a batchfile named affinityphoto2.bat:
@start /b affinityphoto2.exe %1
@exit
- Right-click on affinityphoto2.bat and click “Copy as path”.
- Paste (ctrl-v) the path into the “other” text field of the Registered Application dialog.
- Enjoy!
