I copied mine .CSV file in PANTONE directory in all three 2.4.1 apps just about an hour before 2.4.2 appeared. Now, it dissapeared from all 3 apps. Why are you deleting files that are not part of Affinity apps? Do we have to "reinstall" them after every update / upgrade?
-
Here it is another idea:
In the attachment is the default CorelDRAW palette. It is a .CSV file and you can put it in the PANTONE folder and have it active all the time. You can open this file with a NotePad and see how it is organized, so you can create your own palettes and put them in the same folder.

You cannot open WindowsApp (and you should not "take ownership" of it)
Yes, I opened it and took the ownership. Now, I copied the files to the PANTONE folder and Designer recognized them. I will do it the same with Publisher and Photo.

Thank you very much being patient with me. It helped.

How can I do that? Because nothing else works.
Eventually I'll have to go back to .EXE installers instead. I had no problems with them.

It works now. Thank you.
But, now there are 2 other problems:
- I am not allowed to copy new .csv files into this directory;
- I am not allowed to go back to WindowsApps to see tne contents of Publisher's and Designer's PANTONE directories.
-
No, still the same error.

Windows says it can't find the path.

Where I can find PANTONE libraries under .msi installers?

For me, for Photo 2.1.1.1847, it's C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.1.1.1847_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App\Resources\Pantone but that would change with updates to newer releases.
Windows does not allow to open WindowsApps folder. Are there any chances to override it?

Are they global colors?

That list of videos is exactly what I needed. The playlist on YouTube is not in order.
This video will probably also help folks who are putting together an Amazon KDP book:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wykbW_yRg6IIMO, he is not very skillfull:
- Defines margins when creating a new document, but totally ignore them when setting master pages elements;
- Enters numeric values manually instead with mouse;
- Leaving orphans / widows...

Affinity, be cautious with your statements and actions from this point forward. Any deviation, even the smallest from the promises you have made to us in the past, could result in the loss of customers.
We all have had bad experiences with such alliances in the past, and this came to us like a bolt from the blue. We are all tense, nervous and this will be reflected in our work as well as in our everyday life. My personal opinion is that it will never be the same again for any of us.
I ask you once again to be careful what you do or your business may come crashing down like a house of cards and Adobe will win without investing a cent.- cybercrystal, Tia Lapis and Westerwälder

And who can guarantee that Adobe will not acquire Canva and, that way, kill two rabbits with one shot?

Some features, like this one, should be named the same as the ones from the Affinity big brothers -- Quark, InDesign...

Affinity has some of the best software, with Apple-like quality. It's unfortunate to see it go for Canva, one of the worst pointless companies on this planet. So sad!
I completelly agree with you. The very first moment I hear they started with subscription model -- I am out of the game.
I've just started some books in Publisher, but now... I have to rethink it should I continue or keep InDesign and Quark.

Thank you very much MikeTO. It solved the problem.

They are not created (located) inside TOC panel, not shown even in a Text Styles panel. As you can see, 2 styles are selected, but no TOC styles created.
-
When I select text styles to be included in TOC, no TOC styles are created.
Please, this is urgent. I have to send print materials tommorow.

- IMO all categories under "Text > Insert" must be part of "Find / Replace". Many times, I found myself searching for ellipsis, dashes, white spaces... and I had to insert them first in the text and then Cut / Paste into F / R field(s).
- There is a need, also, for "Glyphs" category in F / R for inserting special characters that can't be found on the keyboard.

What complete nonsense. Processing text documents can be as time-consuming (or even more so than) whatever you you do in Photo. If you can't automate various typesetting aspects you'll lose a lot of time.
I'd be very happy, when scripting and GREP styles comes out in Affinity, to be as active in building it as well as helping us out with advices, just like you are in InDesign.

At this moment my MacBook is not connected to the second display and in this state I updated the apps to 2.4.0. After instalation, Designer loaded correctly but, for Photo and Publisher I had to change the resolution and now they work correctly.
I will connect the Mac to the second monitor ASAP and test the apps again and I will let you know.
Meanwhile, thank you very much for the great support.

So, a logical question follows: when we can expect (at least) full support of this feature?
Deleting files when updating / upgrading
in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

What? OMG! No, it's definitely not OK. I'll have to reinstall .EXE versions.
