Why Affinity thumbnails do not show in Windows
Affinity thumbnails in File Explorer depend on how the app was installed, and they often vanish after an update. Many people never see them at all.
Design Previewer provides its own. AF, AFDESIGN, AFPHOTO and AFPUB files show thumbnails whichever version of Affinity you have, or none.
All Affinity formats
AFDESIGN, AFPHOTO, AFPUB and the .af format.
Independent of Affinity
Thumbnails keep working through app updates and reinstalls.
