knittingmommy Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I updated to Affinity Photo 1.9 for Windows and now I can't create subcategories in the Assets Panel in Affinity Photo. I can create an Assets Category, which has one subcategory in it on creation. However, when I click on the "Create Subcategory", nothing happens. It doesn't create a subcategory and it doesn't crash or give an error. It just does nothing. It's the same in Affinity Designer. The "Create Subcategory" doesn't work. I don't know about Publisher. In previous editions, I was able to create multiple subcategories in an Assets category. Is anyone else having this issue of not being able to create subcategories anymore?

Staff Chris B Posted February 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hey knittingmommy, This is working for me as expected in both retail and the beta. I will ask around the team to see if anyone has come across this and get back to you.

Staff Chris B Posted February 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2021 Could you go to this location for me: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo You should see a folder called 1.0 - please right-click this > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder and attach that here.

Hi. Sorry, it's been a busy month for me and I never made it back to the forums to check on this thread. I think I figured out what the issue is, but I'm not sure. I zipped up the file you wanted, but noticed it was too big to attach to the forum like you wanted. I had installed a lot of assets and those assets are stored in that directory, I'm guessing. So I had to delete most of my assets to make the file smaller. After I deleted some of the assets, I decided to try creating subcategories before sending zipping up the file again. I was able to create subcategories after deleting most of my assets. I think I must have run into a size issue, maybe? Is there a limit to how many assets you can have? Or maybe how many subcategories you can create? I wasn't exactly sure how the assets panel works and where the files are stored. I had originally thought Affinity Photo only kept a link to the original files, but after some research, it looks like Affinity Photo stores all the assets in the asset panel in that folder which makes for some really big files if you have enough assets. I guess the moral of the story is to only keep the assets you're currently working with inside Affinity Photo. That kind of sucks because some of those assets I use on a regular basis, and it's going to be a pain if I can't keep them in the assets panel. It looks like I'll have to rotate assets in and out of the assets panel instead of keeping them in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2021 Heya, For what it's worth, there has been a potential fix/improvement for assets in the beta: Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
