Emfiliane Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I feel like every other time I open Affinity Photo or Designer, it's telling me that there's an update available, which is ~1.5GB, which then has to be unzipped to another 1.5GB file, which then extracts itself to a 2.5GB temp folder, which finally copies into the install folder. I have a fast but undersized SSD on this laptop, and I'm fairly sick of having to decide what to shunt over to a backup drive each time; I don't even know why the download is zipped in the first place, since it's a single file that's a signed executable. Would it be possible to use MSPs for point update versions instead of a full install each time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 @Emfiliane Which OS? I have never downloaded ANY update to ANY of the Affinity apps and found it to be anything even near to "~1.5GB"! Using Windows, I've just checked the latest update to e.g. Designer. 1.8.2, the .exe is 494,758 KB. Photo and Publisher are both of that sort of size. So, I really have no idea where your stated file size is coming from. How did you arrive at your "~1.5 GB" statement?

Emfiliane Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 This is 100% my bad, I also dealt with updating DaVinci Resolve the same day... which was the issue I described. Affinity's 500MB full installs still feel rather much but not to that degree. Yeah, this thread can be closed/deleted. emmrecs01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
