    Thanks, I'll give it a look. However, if the developers of Photo change the format of the xml code, it may not work, so keeping a backup of WindowProfile.xml is the way go for now.
  2. jaftwo
    Yes, I understand that and realize my post was a bit "pushy". This request is three pages long and was started in 2017. I'll have a look at how the config is saved now and make a backup script to restore it for now.

    Since the program obviously already saves the current configuration upon exiting and loads that configuration upon starting, all that's needed is code to "save configuration as" and "load configuration". Why is that so difficult? (✿◕‿◕✿)

    I typically use designer/photo on two monitors -- one with the main work window and the other monitor has my frequently used panels (windows) like assets, color, effects, layers...... But sometimes I'm watching do tasks where it's more convenient to run designer/photo on on monitor and view a tutorial or another app on the other monitor. The programs (designer/photo) obviously store the positions of all the panels upon program exit, so it wouldn't seem to be that hard to add a "save view" and "load view" process. Really disappointed this option doesn't exist!

    Yes! First time in a long time the install worked without having to restart Windows first.
  6. jaftwo
    I restarted first before installing this time, but it still failed, but restarting again then worked.

    I wonder if this is somehow related to my problem installing Publisher on my win10 system? I start the install and eventually it fails. I restart my computer and try the install again, it works (and very quickly, like it didn't have to reinstall everything again.) [edit] I should add that Designer and Photo both install fine (just installed the .532 versions)

    Back to the "Setup failed" again unless I restart my computer first. (•_•)

    I had that problem previously, but I just successfully installed all three (Designer, Photo, and Publisher release) versions 1.7.3.481. After the installs I uninstalled the betas.
  10. jaftwo
    Still fails -- 1.7.3.475 Booted computer to windows -- signed on to Internet -- read the new beta version email -- went to the beta site and downloaded Publisher -- ran as Administrator and it failed. Rebooted and ran again and it worked. It's like the first try does something to enable the second. [edit] Should have added, after it failed and before I rebooted, I tried to install again, but it failed immediately.
  11. jaftwo
    One thing that might help, I ran Publisher first to check the version, then exited. Maybe the failure wouldn't occur if I hadn't run Publisher at all since a reboot -- something left over after running and exiting?
  12. jaftwo
    Yes, to C:\Program Files\Affinity\Publisher Customer Beta
  13. jaftwo
    Still comes up with "setup failed", even when "Run as administrator". Have to reboot and try again to get a successful install. And no, it's not win10 since all my other software does not have this problem (including Photo and Designer.) Is this ever getting fixed?
  14. jaftwo
    The email links I just received for the 414 designer beta is wrong -- it takes me to the photo 414 release.

    So I can start a new document in Publisher and then activate the Photo Persona, undock it's windows or panels and move them to the second monitor, and use it (Photo). It works fine. I still don't understand why it's so hard for it to use the configuration that Photo stores when I use it standalone, but will stop asking.
  16. jaftwo
    Not sure I understand why there's no way to do it. It's using the same photo/designer app (exe) and I can manually undock the windows or panels and place them to the second monitor. Photo/Designer has a way of remembering the configuration, so it would seem that configuration could be accessed?
  17. jaftwo
    I keep my Photo and Designer undocked windows on my second monitor. When I'm in Publisher and select say, the Photo persona, Photo opens with what looks like the default view (Studio panels or windows) docked to the main monitor on the right side of the app. Is there a way to have the Photo/Designer view come up like they are running them separately?
  18. jaftwo
    Reboot first always works for me. Run as Administrator doesn't seem to matter. It happens with Photo, Designer, and Publisher.
  19. jaftwo
    Thanks, I was beginning to think it was something wrong with my system. I didn't notice the problem before the beta and during the beta didn't use both monitors since the beta didn't seem to save my screen setting. It acts like the borders want to snap or stick to other windows (or merge with other windows.)
  20. jaftwo
    No one else has seen this?
  21. jaftwo
    Also, with many (maybe all) of the undocked windows such as "History", if I left click and hold a border to resize, it will start to move but "drops" off the mouse cursor. When I release the mouse button, the border pops to the spot I released the button, so it (app) knows where I tried to position the border. Does a similar thing when I click and drag in the blank area of the title bar to re-position a window.
  22. jaftwo
    Just a guess... if you're using Windows, you may have to re-start (Windows) and try the install again.
  23. jaftwo
    Have you downloaded and installed the latest version of Photo? I had the same problem but was using the latest Photo beta. Installed the latest non-beta release and it worked fine.
  24. jaftwo
    I've noticed on v1.7.1.404 (may have happened on previous beta versions, but haven't checked) that when I try to move un-docked panels (views) to my second monitor, they want to "stick" to the left side of the main window (second monitor is to the left) and I have to release the left mouse button and grab the panel again to continue to move it left. When it's in the second monitor, it stutters a lot and is difficult to place. It didn't do the before the beta. I tried Allegorithmic Substance Designer (now Adobe) and it works fine, so I'm not suspecting (yet) Win 10 or Nvidia drivers (all up-to-date.) Affinity Photo beta 1.7.1.404 has the same problem.
  25. jaftwo
    This seems to be an ongoing problem. Both the beta 404's for publisher and designer do it -- Install fails and requires a windows re-boot to install. Stating "this is a windows problem" when no other software on my systems has this problem is suspect. For new users, this could be troubling . Maybe adding a note in the download area would save a lot of support questions?
