ACDesignStudio Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I will be having to use my laptop for an indefinite length of time instead of my beloved desktop. When I think about all of the brushes, fonts and assets that I've added to my desktop Affinity suite, I feel sick thinking about having to duplicate all of this work on my laptop. Is there a way that I can bulk copy over these downloaded brushes, fonts and assets to my laptop Affinity apps? If not, any tips to make it easier and faster? Thanks so much!

Ron P. Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Requires a little bit of work, but not really all that much. Backup Resources, tutorial, also demonstrates what you are asking about. Just export the brushes, assets, macros, ect. then import them into your apps on your laptop.

carl123 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 All fonts are installed to your operating system not the Affinity apps so you would need to copy and install them that way to your laptop Unless you have Publisher, which will allow you to copy/install them another way For brushes and assets, you could consider copying the propcol files which would be quick and easy if it works and relatively harmless if it does not Which apps and OS are you using on your Desktop and Laptop?

About the fonts, I was referring to setting my favorites fonts within each app. I have quite a few of them and would have to do that in all 3 apps. Not horrendous but just more time and effort. Would have to try to remember and pick out all of my favs from the gazillion Microsoft fonts on my system. When I added fonts I immediately set them as favs in the apps. 12 hours ago, carl123 said: For brushes and assets, you could consider copying the propcol files which would be quick and easy if it works and relatively harmless if it does not Which apps and OS are you using on your Desktop and Laptop?

This seems like a quick way to do it. Then, I'd just have to deal with the tedious fonts install onto the laptop and the setting of my fav fonts in each app. Quote Designing, Arting, Writing, Crafting, Lover of the Creative Life Linktr.ee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
