Assets for affinity photo11/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Affinity Photo, which I have not uninstalled, still has many of the same Assets. Users/pharisee/Library/Containers//Data/Library This is, explicitly, the "Library" folder I'm finding based on your goto: The iCloud Folder I created is on the Desktop. It could be that is just the size of the installer file, which might mean you have not yet actually reinstalled the app or are not looking in the right place for it. So the first thing to do is figure out why the reinstalled Affinity Designer.app (which should be in the root level Applications folder) is just 735 MB. This is where the per user brushes, assets, & so on are stored, not in the root level Application/Affinity Designer folder. ![]() Within this folder you should see a complex folder structure & deeply nested in it a "User" folder with a variety of files with the. If it came from the Affinity Store, it will be in a subfolder of the Application Support folder named Affinity Designer. If you bought from the Mac App Store, look in the folder named Containers for a folder named. The exact file path to the folder storing these items varies depending on which store you bought the app from. This folder is normally hidden but you can open it via the Finder > Go > Go to Folder menu item by entering ~/Library in the box that pops up & clicking the Go button. Those items are stored per user, so in folders in each user account's Library folder in that user's home folder. I can confirm that the app itself after installation should be about 2.37 GB (it's 2.35GB on my Mac) but it does not contain a user's assets, brushes, etc. The App i deleted was 2.37 GB in size, meaning, likely, everything was self contained in the app. I've lost ALL the assets, brushes, etc I had. Simple Tech 101, is it any / everything you try to do? Is it any / everywhere you try to do it? If not, maybe it's not a system problem, maybe it's a localized (maybe even app specific) problem. Why would EVERY OTHER program have no problem, but Affinity? And EVERY OTHER program has no problems writing to or loading from those locations. And judging by what it does and how it's organized I'm not persuaded that that would be the case.ĮVERYTHING else is stored alongside where the folder is that I'd like to save Affinity files to. Unless it's that poorly written that it will. That says that I must've been doing something right or it wouldn't have let me. Literally, use it or lose it.Īffinity offers some really great applications and I've had immense fun creating using them, but, an inability to save, open, import or export files "no matter where" and I'm less interested in where I'd like to, than what works. A friend of mine uses the Adobe system and they hold him hostage by promising to undo whatever he does that is interwoven with their products. You spend a lot of money and in the end it's not yours. What stops me from using most software these days is that they're migrating over to subscription based systems. There's not even a decent bulk install or uninstall application for fonts. Instead you can go to the App store and find free or fee font systems. ![]() And they're there, but nowhere near those that offer try now, buy later offers disguised as "Free Downloads" which on the internet isn't just about everything? The iPad doesn't even have a decent font manager unlike that which is native to the Macs, Linux, and Windows. An inability to save is one thing, but, a good number of these fall short of functionality - intentionally as an incentive to upgrade. As with Apple their business model (and a shared sentiment now) is not the ability to buy something or have something outright as much as the constant push for upgrades or on their App store "In App Purchases" which used to simply be called "crippleware" in which you can do everything less than what matters unless you upgrade. Now, I save little if anything in virtual storage mostly because I keep bumping up against their measly limits for which they then offer me the opportunity to buy more virtual storage. I save to iCloud (which is virtual) and because I had problems with that, I saved locally to a folder I named "iCloud" just as a reminder that these files came from virtual storage. Having talked (at least here in the forum about this) to Affinity users and Apple support, I've at least tried to resolve this to the best of my, and others who've offered their help ability. There are only so many places to try to save before it stops being about me and where I'm saving files and about either Apple and its process or Affinity and theirs. I tried saving to the hard drive where everything else is saved.
