Dr_No Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hello … I just installed the 1.9 update for Affinity Photo. Upon re-opening, I noted that there were downloads available. I clicked the little 'download' icon for each and was under the impression they were downloading to my desktop (MacG5, macOS Sierra). Upon closing Photo, there were (and are) no downloads on my desktop nor in the Downloads or Documents folder(-s) in Dock. WHERE are these downloads set to go? They are not on my Mac. Ergo, the question them becomes: Is there a way to RE-download them and to CHOOSE which location they're downloaded TO? Thanks for your assistance.

Staff MEB Posted February 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi Dr_No, They are already installed in the respective app folders. You only have to access them in the app using the respective panels. For example: the overlays distributed as .afassets files (Fog, Rain Rainbow etc overlays), go to the Assets panel (menu View > Studio > Assets) and click the dropdown on the top of the panel to select the category you want, then drag the overlay(s) to the canvas to use them. For brushes, check the Brushes panel and so on. In that My Purchases section where you clicked the cloud icon to download them, if you click the small arrow on the left of the thumbnail (to expand it) you will see a lot of them contain an instructions, tutorials file you can check for additional info.

user1984 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Do I have to download the content in every app like it seems or will this be shared between the apps? Quote -- Regards Torsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi @user1984, You have to do it individually for each app. They do not share the contents. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1984 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 OK, thx for the information. Wouldn't it be better to make this available centrally for all programmes? Quote -- Regards Torsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Template files are available in the Templates > Affinity Store section of the New Document window (which only appears if at least one template has been downloaded from the store). You cannot rename or remove them from this section, which seems a bit less than user friendly.

Locate the content pack that they're in. Expand the pack's listing. To uninstall: Click on the green icon that says they're installed.

I know I can remove them via the My Account window but it would be easier & more intuitive if they could be removed like any other template directly from the New Document window without having to open the My Account window. (This would also probably fix a minor refresh issue that leaves the last deleted Affinity Store template selected in the New Document > Templates section.) Being able to rename these templates would also be useful. walt.farrell 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
