Persona Tone Mapping Presets -- Im-and export
Widestone replied to Volker H.'s topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Same hier on Windows11 PC. The Hamburger Menu only offers CLOSE and CLOSE GROUP. -
The *.propcols can be very large (some GBs). That can be a problem when storing on LAN or NAS or Clouds. And the accessing from more than one computer simultaniously too. To use the same *.propcols for AP and AD and AP is not a good idea. Some things stored in this files can't be used in all programs and make crashes on starting the applications. My setup with no problems on MultiBootSystem since years is: 2 Hardlinks or Symlinks from the Locations "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Affinity" and "C:\ProgramData\Affinity" to a different local drive (before installing the Apps)

Make a copy of your Affinity USER Directory --- NOT the Program Directory. Then rename the *.propcol files (for assets, raster brushes and vector brushes) in the submenu .../Affinity/Photo/1.0/user and .../Affinity/Designer/1.0/user Now run one of them. Then you can bring back the renamed files one by one and start the program after every restore of a file. So you can check, which file is the bad one.

I have tested (in the newest Beta Versions) to copy the *.propcols of BRUSHES, VECTORBRUSHES, FILLS and STYLES. No problems so far. And much less work Is this an (official or korrekt) way to do this or can it make problems? Is the format equal in all 3 applications? If YES, it would be nice to have the settings for this in only one directory (userdefined if YES or NO) to "synchronize" the Apps automatically. Only the ASSETS make problems. But maybe is one of them corrupt.

Hi! Is it possible to alphabetize (or sort in my own order) the ASSETS, BRUSHES, FILLS and STYLES. Dragging seems not working.

Asset Library
Widestone replied to bobgraphics's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
You can do that very easy. Move the "assets.propcol" to the place of your choice. Then place a symbolic link to this file in the original directory. SpeedCommander, Linkshellextension and many other programs can do that. It must be a symbolic link ... a normal file link will not work and AP or AD then creates a new assets.propcol in the standard directory. -
Assets-Library
Widestone replied to Widestone's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Backgrounds is only one example. I also want to include many other Layers for use in different situations. But if AF or AD cant't handle such a big library (slow on opening, crash...) then would be a the PLACE-Function the better way or a Library-Program beside (XN-View, Adobe Bridge,...) -
Hi! Is it a problem for AP or AD (or the Computer) to handle large Asset-Librarys (e.g. 1GB) or is it a good way to organize backgrounds,...?
