MizMelzy Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 I went in to work on something in affinity designer and noticed all my styles are missing even my created ones. So I figure no biggie, I backed them up I'll just import them. Wrong. I try to import the style and it says it says "unable to import style category. Incompatible files." I created it with Affinity designer. It's an afstyles file. Some of the other ones that I downloaded for free else where are loading fine. But my backed up ones say they are not compatible. Why am I getting this and why did it suddenly lose all my files? Kinda panicking because I need these styles I've created. I backed them up so I wouldn't lose them, and now I think I have. 😨😭 Quote

MizMelzy Posted June 15, 2022 Author Posted June 15, 2022 Here is the file that says it's not compatible. I'm just hoping that its an easy fix rather than when it saved it corrupted the file 😢 But in looking at the file size compared to my other saved ones it's only 96.0KB and most are at least 200-300mb in size. So it just may be that it didn't save correctly. Still not sure why Affinity Designer just lost all my styles randomly. It's not like the program hung and it had to be closed abruptly or anything. Didn't get any warnings or anything else either. Melissa Gradients.afstyles Quote
MizMelzy Posted June 22, 2022 Author Posted June 22, 2022 So I re-did all my gradients again, and saved them. This time it shows 166kb and again getting the same message. Not sure why it's doing this. It shouldn't be doing that. Quote

Staff Callum Posted June 24, 2022 Staff Posted June 24, 2022 Hi MizMelzy, Thank you for providing a copy of the file I have passed it on to our developers to see if it can be repaired however there are no guarantees of this. Please could you tell me if the back up was stored on a network drive etc? Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
