I had custom color palettes and there are now gone from the Swatches panel... :( Anyone knows who to retrieve them?

Do you still have you V1 App(s) installed?

Best regards!

When I chose the   Import Content menu, I have an open panel to chose the content to import. But I don't know what I have to chose.

From that dialog, you could choose .afbrushes files, or .afassets files, or .afstyles files, or .afpalettes files. But it won't help if what you need to do is import your content from the V1 applications.

Do you have a system bacup (TimeMachine?) that would let you reinstall the V1 application? I think that may be all you can do.

I managed to find a copy of v1 and I could export de palette. So All is good. Thanks all for the help :)

Those palettes are stored somewhere in the system somehow, and I will try to find it. That could be useful. 

Too bad v2 didn't import everything by default...

Affinity preferences - at least for V1 - are stored under (user-folder)/Library/Application Support/

Library is a hidden folder by default and you may have to google a bit on how to make it user accessible through Finder for your OS version. Apple doesn't want us to dig around in there. 😇 I can see the AP preferences folder contains mostly a bunch of *.dat and *.propcol files for my installation.

It does import V1 palettes, I believe, but it sounds like you did not have V1 installed for it to import from.

I would not recommend trying to use those files with V2....
