Where does Affinity store those Assets?

[Paul Martin]

I've got a fair collection of assets that I have created, usually in Photo or Designer, but which I often use in Publisher. I'd like to view these files, do a bit of rationalising and develop some consistency in my ways of working.

First hurdle, where the hell do Affinity programmes store those assets?

Do a forum and/or internet search after that topic ...

• Managing and moving assets

• Assets sharing between Photo and Designer - Syncronise assets between apps

• affinity assets propcol

• ... etc. ...

I would add here that the assets.propcole file that contains any added assets, isn’t really in a "human friendly" readable form.

And those files are huge, aren't they? I think I should leave well alone even if I wish you could have a single structure for all three programmes to make thematic filing easier.

Depends on how much assets categories with assets entries you have and if most of them are highres etc. - But usually yes and the more you include the bigger it gets, no matter here that the assets file has a zlib compressed fileformat structure!
