scdbs Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 We need to be able to install Assets & Brushes to one location and then access them all in all 3 apps. Having 3 copies and taking up extra room on the HD is silly. We could have a manger for each app to enable/disable them but one install location. Also, you wouldn't have to go through the process of installing them 3 times. THart, Hilltop, Rudolphus and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentletailor Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This would be great! For Windows Users this should be also available for color pallettes. It's really time consuming keeping Assets etc. up to date and synchronised across the apps.

THart Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I'm just an amateur playing around with the apps. But what I very soon realised was that it is very annoying and complicated to have a different asset library for Photo and Designer. For example: I am in Designer and find some cool vectors from the "Stock" => put them to assets, cool. But then I also find an image which are more suitable for me being used in Photo => now I have to start Photo and manually copy the image to Photo to put it into the Assets there. => Annoying I think already having the categories and subcategories in Assets, it might be preferable to have one single Asset library for all apps.

ls008 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 +1 I often switch between laptops and tablets and would love to be able to install once and it replicate across all apps (Photo, Publisher & Designer) and all devices automatically. For me, the wishlist would be: Folders and projects (sub-folders would be great too) Brushes Palettes Symbols Assets Fonts ACDesignStudio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aammppaa Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I have all 3 apps installed, in both retail and beta versions. Keeping 6 copies of everything in sync is simply ridiculous!

Assuming they are both Windows or both Mac, you can probably make a backup of the "user" folder on the laptop (for safety), then copy the "user" folder from the desktop to the laptop. The FAQ below tells where to find the folder. That will cover all the Affinity files such as brushes and assets. There may be some other useful folders in the same location as "user", but I have never tried copying them. (If you do try it, remember to back up the laptop versions first.) Note that this will not handle fonts, as fonts are managed by the system (or your Fonts Manager, if any), not by the Affinity applications, ACDesignStudio 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar situation a few months back (except going the other way; laptop to desktop). I just copied the user folders from appdata and it worked perfectly. walt.farrell, ACDesignStudio and ls008 2 1 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 : Windows 10 Home Affinity Publisher 2 : Affinity Photo 2 : Affinity Designer 2 : (latest release versions) on desktop and iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
