When dragging files from Explorer into the Assets panel, the interface does not refresh until another action is performed that can trigger a UI update, such as reordering subcategories, dragging an element in from a document, deleting an existing asset or similar. Moreover, the panel can get slow, such as when dragging elements from one subcategory to another (which by the way can get tedious because there is no way to multi-select items) or deleting items. Even just dragging to reorder subcategories can cause a lag of one or more seconds after the mouse is released. Designer Version 2.4.2 on Windows 10

I created a bunch of assets in designer 2 to use in publisher 2 a couple days ago. The next time I turned on my computer, I was prompted to update publisher to version 2.4.1, which I did. After that, the assets I had created were gone and the only ones left were the free ones that come with the program. I restarted the computer and programs a few times, but that didn't do anything. I did find the assets propcol file which I copied onto a usb drive. I can't figure out how to use that file to (hopefully) restore my work. I know people say there are directions to do that on this forum, but I've been unsuccessful in finding step by step posts. Thanks for any advice...

Attached are two files, each of which contains a vector-based Sine Wave, Parabola and Hyperbola. This allows for fast, easy creation of these three curves, which can then be scaled and/or edited as desired. Nothing fancy. One is an Asset file (Curves.afassets) and the other is the Affinity Designer v2.4.1 file from which the assets were originally generated (Curves.afdesign). The strokes are black, and I included a white rectangle in the background so they are clearly visible in the Assets Panel. To install Assets, open the Assets Panel and choose Import Assets from the hamburger menu. Lou Dina Curves.afassets Curves.afdesign

Hi all, I am starting a project with 60 pages and several hundred images. I would love to be able to get them all into the Assets panel and then drag them onto pages from there but, when I go to Place and grab a load of images, it demands I add them all right away. If I could get them into Assets first and then drag them on from there, that would be a great way to ensure they don't get added twice, if you see what I mean. Is this in any way possible?

Let's go back to school, with some of those common and well known school protractors for measuring in degrees. ... etc. The protractor assets shared here ... ... are all vector based and do have printed on degree scales. You have to adapt/size the default assets protractor sizes to your document needs and thus scale them up/down so they nearly match your doc measurements. Note that all protractors are just a bunch of grouped/layered together vector parts (curves and text) thus they can be modified in colorings and the like. Also you should always move & size etc. a whole reused protractor group/layer when needed! Here is the associated assets file: protractors.afassets Have a nice school day!

Since switching to Designer from Illustrator last year, I now have the latest D2 and update. I have created a number of assets in the asset panel by creating a new category I named 'my assets'. I just opened a design I've been working on and was going to save it to my assets, but to my horror, all the assets I had saved over the time I've had Designer seem to have disappeared. When I select the my assets category from the dropdown menu, there is nothing there, and there isn't even the three line icon to save new assets! I have restarted my computer and tried it again to no avail. I notice also that the default assets that came with Designer are missing now too. Anybody have any ideas what is happening?

Here are a few of my AI Chip + Logo Icon Assets, these assets are plain vectors (grouped vector curves). This AI set is kept in b&w (graylevels), so you have to color the curves yourself if you have a need for colored representations. The corresponding assets files: ai_chip_logo_icons.afassets - Have fun with these free to reuse AI assets! 😳

This includes the brands, regular, and solid icons provided by the Font Awesome 6 Free Desktop download from their site. All I did was add them to their own asset category and sub-categories so now all you have to do is use my file to get the same icons. I'll put together just a social media sub-category and move them from brands to that category later tonight. font-awesome-6-assets.afassets

Here are two of my Badge (Label) Assets sets, these assets are plain (silhouettes) + vintage (grouped) vector curve(s) based badges/labels. The two sets do contain various forms of these. NOTE that the assets for the below shown vintage badge set don't include any preapplied text, it's below just shown this with text way in order to give you an idea how they could look with some used/applied text on them! The corresponding assets files: Badge_Assets.afassets - Have fun with these free to reuse badges!

Hello, i looking for assets, Found and downloaded various assets, thanks! But unfortunately not for architectural and network planning. Thank you for every type I receive Philip

When I import any asset to the assets panel, for some reason the category selector is disabled. It is impossible to navigate to another asset category, unless you restart the program.

Hi, I have noticed that Symbols that are copied (copy and paste) from one document to another are not added to the Symbols Panel in the destination document. They do still function as Symbols. In contrast, a quick test shows that adding a Symbol from the Assets Panel adds the Symbol to the Symbols Panel immediately - at insert. Is the copy and paste behaviour by design? This behaviour can and has caused some confusion…. As a result of the copy and paste behaviour, the Symbols Panel does not provide a catalogue of definitions of the instances of Symbols in the Document. Is there another panel that provides such a catalogue? I prefer the Insert from Assets behaviour, but it compounds the potential for confusion. Regards Lionel

Hello all Affinity forum users! I have come today (first time) having a slight issue. You see, I downloaded the assets that were given out to users who upgraded from Affinity 1 to Affinity 2, but I did so manually (old habits die hard). Then, after realizing that Affinity 2 has an "Account" page, I decided to download the rest of the assets from there, since it is easier. In doing this, I also re-downloaded all of the previous assets I had downloaded before, because I thought that Affinity would recognize that they were the same, and prompt an either "replace or don't copy" prompt for these downloads. This did not happen, and it just downloaded them... again. Now I have 2 sets of brushes, 2 sets of assets, and 2 sets of macros. How would I go about removing these? I can see the ones that I have downloaded from the "Account" section have locks, and the ones manually have this sort of "chain-link" icon. Would I have to delete them all manually? (Psst. It would be really cool if Affinity had (has?) a feature to where it knows if you have the assets/brushes already, and prompted you with a replace/duplicate/not do prompt, for idiots like me)
