j3rry Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 After new release of AP 1.8. (MAS) the DxO Nik Plugins not working anymore, they still do nothing, no beach ball no crash. I am very disappointed because it still worked in the beta. :-( Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, iPad Air 11", MACOS Sonoma & iPadOS, Affinity V2-Universallizenz
Martinroedl.photo Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Yes, even after adding the PI folder in preferences and authorizing unknown, not working. Quote
Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2020 Staff Posted February 26, 2020 Hi j3rry, Martinroedl.photo, I confirm the Nik Collection is indeed falling to launch in the Mac App Store version of Affinity Photo. The version from the Affinity Store is working correctly. I'm logging this to be looked at. Martinroedl.photo, Welcome to Affinity Forums Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
j3rry Posted February 26, 2020 Author Posted February 26, 2020 Hi MEB, why is there a difference between this 2 versions ? One is working the other not? Maybe it's better to convert to the serif variant? So for me it's a showstopper... Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, iPad Air 11", MACOS Sonoma & iPadOS, Affinity V2-Universallizenz
Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2020 Staff Posted February 26, 2020 Hi j3rry, It's probably related with the app running in a sandboxing environment. All Mac App Store apps are subject to a few "restrictions" to ensure macOS security/stability. Neither the Betas nor the Affinity Store version have to comply with these requirements as they are not distributed through the Mac App Store. I'm sure this will be fixed in an upcoming build. Hold tight. MartinHH, j3rry and stokerg 1 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Martinroedl.photo Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Would it be possible to get rid of the app store version and get some licence to be able to handle it from your website, please? Quote
Staff Chris B Posted February 26, 2020 Staff Posted February 26, 2020 Unfortunately this would not be possible, however this has already been fixed internally and we are hoping to see a fix from the App Store tonight/tomorrow.

globewriter Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Just to be clear, the update you released to (among other things) improve plugin support, has broken plugins? I hope the update to the update comes quickly. Paul Reid 1 Quote
Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2020 Staff Posted February 26, 2020 Hi globewriter, Welcome to affinity Forums The photoshop plugins update/fix was already submitted to the Mac App store. It should be available soon. We're sorry for the incovenience this is causing you. globewriter 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

elbingo Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Many AP Windows users will have the original Nik plug ins installed and working ( not the DXO variants )…….. are there any known problems with the original Niks working with the new update ? Quote
nomi02118 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 my old versions of the plugins stopped working as well and even with the update this morning, they don't work either. 150$ USD is a lot to pay for plugins I have already paid for twice and got for free once with very little improvements. If it was 50$ I would buy the new versions immediately just for the better compatibility they promise. Quote

Staff MEB Posted February 27, 2020 Staff Posted February 27, 2020 Hi nomi02118 Can you post a screenshot of the Photoshop Plugins panel (in Preferences) so we can see how you have it set up please? Thanks. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
nomi02118 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Good news! I deleted everything and when I reinstalled there was a new folder in the Nik folder that said called "google". When I used that they worked! Well they worked as well as they did before, which wasn't great for some of them but I'm back to where I was which is all I can ask! Quote
richard1975 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I’m having the same issues! The Nik collection won’t work at all! Should I try to reinstall them? Quote
nomi02118 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 It worked fro me, but I am not sure it will work fro everyone. I am on an iMac, BTW since that will make a difference I am sure. richard1975 1 Quote
globewriter Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) The 1.8.1 update just arrived for me and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks very much Affinity Team. (Mac using latest version of Mojave) Edited February 27, 2020 by globewriter App Store update arrived Quote

Other vendors have done this in the past (issue a license based upon an Apple Store purchase). If you could, I would probably be a taker. Still no update on the Apple Store for me (MacOS). Quote
Staff MEB Posted February 27, 2020 Staff Posted February 27, 2020 Hi PhilipPeake, If you don't see the update to v1.8.1, go to the product page (instead of the Updates section) in the App Store app and click the Update button there. It's not possible to switch licenses between the Mac App Store and Affinity Store, sorry - the applications are functionally identical - the App Store version just have to comply with sandboxing/App Store requirements. Your best chance to switch is when upgrading to v2 (assuming you want to do it) since it's a paid upgrade but we are still away from getting there. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
mzdial Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Mac Catalina user here on version 1.8.1 (App Store) now. Nik Collection still isn't showing up for me. I just downloaded Nik Collection 2.5 again and reinstalled as well. I've authorized the drive as well and restarted. Any ideas? Thanks! Edited February 27, 2020 by mzdial Quote
mzdial Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Nevermind.. I realized that I needed to add /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2020/Plug-ins to the plugin search folders. This should probably be done by default and not rely on the end user. But that's just my opinion. Thanks! Quote
