Where are imported brushes etc kept? - are they slowing down affinity photo on iMac?

[fedupofslowmac]

Hi!

I've been tidying up my iMac and so have moved folders around that contain my downloaded brushes that have previously been imported to Affinity Photo desktop version.

I just want to check its not having a hard time looking for them as it keeps crashing. Likewise with the fonts. Does affinity copy the brushes etc to its own secret lair? Or use them from where I keep them?

Thanks!!!!!

Hi @fedupofslowmac,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Look for the raster_brushes.propcol and vector_brushes.propcol in the following folders (depending on where you bought the application):

Affinity Store version: 

• Affinity Photo: ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Photo/user/
• Affinity Designer: ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer/user/
• Affinity Publisher: ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Publisher/user/
   

Mac App Store version: 

• Affinity Photo: ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/user/
• Affinity Designer: ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner/Data/Library/Application Support/user/
• Affinity Publisher: ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitypublisher/Data/Library/Application Support/user/

Once these things are 'found' by the app there is no need for it to look for them again -- they are added to the propcol files @MEB mentioned so the app always 'knows' where they are.
