If you mean the Time Machine restore method I mentioned, you must restore the two items (the AD 1.5.1 app & the entire ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner folder) separately, making sure you chose a TM backup with a timestamp date that is before you downloaded the flawed 1.5.2 version. Do both restores while AD is not running, & make sure you choose the "Replace" option in the dialog that appears after you click the Restore button in the TM list of files.
 
Note that "~" is an abbreviation for your home folder, so if your startup drive is still named Macintosh HD & your user account short name is Will, the full path to the containers folder would be Macintosh HD/Users/Will//Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner/. Don't confuse the home folder's Library folder with the other folders also named "Library" -- each one is different but only the home folder one contains your user presets like those in the Containers folder for the various Affinity apps. There may also be other folders in Containers for other Affinity apps, each beginning with the "com.seriflabssffinity." prefix, like for the betas, Affinity Photo, or the Photo plugins. It is imperative that you choose the one for Affinity Designer with exactly the same name mentioned in bold above. If you don't see that, you are in the wrong folder.
 
Hope this helps.

UPDATE: Affinity Designer 1.5.3 is now available on the Mac App Store and fixes the problems described in this thread.
 
*** PLEASE NOTE *** We have just noticed a problem with the latest Mac AppStore Designer update (ver 1.5.2) and are working to resolve it have resolved it.
 
Running this update will reset any brushes, styles, text styles, swatches, keyboard shortcut customization and workspace layout you may have added.
 
We are extremely sorry about this and will have a fix available within the next 24 hours.
 
If you have installed the new update and have customised any settings then please don't run Designer until we have deployed a replacement update (Designer ver 1.5.3). 
 
Alternatively we have a workaround available to save the presets for those users that have updated but haven't opened the app yet.
 
Again, we are very sorry and will make sure this never happens again.

Hi 1979mark,
 
Go to the Swatches panel, create a new document palette if needed (click on the menu icon on the top right of the panel and select Add Document Palette), then go again to the same menu and select Add Global Colour, give it the name you want there, then check Spot on the bottom and clid Add.
 
Here's a video tutorial that may also help: Global, Spot and Overprint Colours

Might come in handy. Thanks Will!

I think I’m finally done with my latest drawing, The Streetcar Boat.  In 1905 there were streetcars that went from Minneapolis to the shore of Lake Minnetonka, but the people living around Lake Minnetonka needed a way to continue to their homes.  So a set of 6 steam boats were built to resemble streetcars.  These boats added 27 more stops to the streetcar line.
 
In 1926 the 6 boats were deemed no longer necessary and were scuttled in the middle of the lake.  In 1979 a diver found the wreck of the Minnehaha and it was raised.  After 17 years of restoration it was put back in service on weekends in the summer making runs between two cities across the lake.
 
Being 1600 miles away and the wrong time of the year, I used pictures I had and pictures on the web to construct as much detail as possible.  Right down to screws and rivets.
 
At 4,638 layers, all vectors, it’s my largest drawing so far.  Zooming from the full image to some of the smaller detail requires a zoom of about 80,000%.  So AD is about the only program capable of the detail.
