bogarguz Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Dear Serif Team, CONGRATULATIONS !!! You are the best. I just would like to tell a little suggestion for a feature that would be a great touch to your new Studio Presets; Import/Export Presets. I have a Laptop and a MacPro for working with the amazing Affinity Suite, Making several layouts for different kind of work, take me some time do to. And, repeating those in my Laptop, well, you know already the answer. It would be excellent to finish making my layout for different Studios in my MacPro and then to Export/Import them in my Laptop. You would say, well, it is just two computer, do it. How about for those places or designers who have many computers and employees? They will benefit a lot for having those Studio Presets exported and imported. It is just a suggestion. Thank you for your great Affinity Suite. Being willing to be part of another Beta work, lukasivanovic, Daniel Kuhlmann, Patrick Connor and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy these presets to the other Mac and place them into the corresponding folder. I haven't tested it yet – my v1.9 is installed on a different partition so I'd have to reboot the Mac right now – but it should work.

bogarguz Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I thought about that, just I couldn't find the name of the preset, now I know it begins with "com.seriflabs......" Do you know in Windows where there are? I have Windows for my son and daughter, because of the school. Happy New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tested it yet – my v1.9 is installed on a different partition so I'd have to reboot the Mac right now – but it should work. Hm… So I tested it earlier today on my v1.9.0 and 1.9.1 beta installations, and it didn't work. Well, sort of it evetually did to a small degree with a trick, but that's not worth the hassle. Apparently there also must be a "link" to the file somewhere in the user app preferences, otherwise the app won't see the preset at all. So to make it work, the best is to sync the whole ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity [Appname] folder plus the ~/Library/Preferences/com.seriflabs.affinity[appname].plist file (Serif Store version), or ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinity[appname] folder (Mac App Store, but make sure to exclude all aliases within). That's what I do regularly between my El Capitan and Catalina partitions, and that works, at least for my Affinity 1.8.4 apps. But you will need a capable sync tool for that: After more than 15 years of daily usage, I just can't praise ChronoSync enough; it's the best. Either that, or perhaps Serif eventually makes the presets exportable.

loukash Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Oh, and by the way, the preset file is now renamed in the 1.9.1. beta: com.seriflabs.affinity[appname].Studio.Preset.Data2Layout-tab.[YOURPRESETNAME].preset Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
