  1. Hello All, Thank you so much for the prompt and on target replies!!! Outstanding Community Support! I think I can confirm @catlover was the most spot on. I had purchased and installed AD from the Affinity web store. OSX has been getting picky about where application data is installed/stored/edited pushing more of this into the current user’s library, avoiding the system library. If you have older installed AD before Big Sur / Catalina your user profile data install locations might be different??? From what I can tell AD does not create anything for the user in the ~Library/Containers/ folder any longer, but I did find a set of AD support files under ~Library/GroupContainers/ and from what I see it appears to be some of the software licensing / authentication files but not related to my user Assest files I was trying to get back. I did not need to copy / recover this data. With AD closed, copying the “User” folder, newdomentpanelstate.dat, and preferences.dat files from this path in my time machine back up to my new clean mac user path, and I now have all my old custom created Asset panels back. All is well! /Users/jgc/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer See attached screen capture of current AD 1.10.5 (3/19/22) as installed on a Mac with freshly installed Big Sur 11.6.5.
  2. These Assets are user created assets not Affinity store bough Assets Yes, I pulled the assets.propcol file over by it's self when Affinity Designer is not running and replaced the one on the new system. Old Assets did not come back. I tried again to pull the whole directory from my time machine back up from /Users/MyUserAccount/Library/Application\ Support/Affinity\ Designer Please note that in the newest MacOS works, it appears application are discouraged from writing to the system library. This path ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer/user/ is no longer valid for Affinity Designer in 11.6.3 to 11.6.5 their is no path for ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer It appears Affinity Designer application data is stored in the user library: /Users/MyUserAccount/Library/Application\ Support/Affinity\ Designer But the application does not want to read this data, but it will overwrite it. If I drop in an old copy of the assets.propcol file it gets overwritten by the Affinity Designer application the next time I open the application, the file size shrinks, and the file date is updated to current. I'm at a loss?
  3. I have a Mac on Big Sur 11.6.5 and the system had crashed and had to be reinstalled from 0, clean bare metal install that wiped my system drive. I have a time machine back up of that machine. I had a number of unknown software issues (old kext installed) that were causing issues. I do not want to restore that Time Machine back up, but I am pulling in selective data from my Documents folder, I also have other offline and in the cloud backups, so I have not lost any user data. However.... I failed to back up and Export and archive some of my Affinity Designer Assets that I have created. Is their any location I can copy a user file in my time machine back up and restore my old working Affinity Designer Assets? I have tried deleting and replacing the files from my user library from: /Users/MyUserAccount/Library/Application\ Support/Affinity\ Designer But when these files are replaced with the same directory from my time machine back up the older Assets in Affinity Design do come back. Is there any option to recover my old Asset data from a time machine backup.
