adam1762 Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 I imported the FF 11 and 12 plug into Affinity Photo but keeps getting an error. I tried to reinstall but the plugin does not see Affinity Photo so there is no way to install the plugins. Is it so hard to check if other probgrams will work with the latest version, what should I do now? Quote
Staff Lee D Posted November 11, 2022 Staff Posted November 11, 2022 Can you open default folder in explorer and check to see if the Filter Forge 11 plugin files are there. As I don't think Filter Forge will have updated their installer to auto detect our V2 versions to install the files automatically for you. Quote

Filter Forge 11 plugin files are there - yes, they are there. I wrote to tech support, they replied that they are working on it. Mystical 1 Quote

Replace the line in the Filter Forge Config file (Program Files -> Filter Forge -> Plugin -> Filter Forge Config: <IndependentUI value="true"/> (Orginal: False, Change to: True) Do this in each Filter Forge Config file, it worked for me, I have 11 and 12 beta Andy05 1 Quote

gw_westdale Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 I added the FilterForge11 64 plugin folder to Photo2 to search and it is found - appears in menu of plugins. Unfortunately using the plugin crashes in FF with 'no window handle'. It is possible that your 'independent UI' edit might work but under Windows 11 Home 64 I am not allowed to edit the profile file (I am an admin) Any ideas on the edit and permissions?

gw_westdale Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 Having run TextPad as admin which allowed me set the UI independent to true in the profile, I now have FF11 running under Affinity Photo 2 .... 🙂 🙂 Thank you Quote Win 11 PCs 64bit Envy and Envy tablet + Filter Forge Retired computer systems tester doing graphics for charities and politics etc.
SonjaThompson Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 I've installed FilterForge 12 (for the first time) to use with Serif Affinity Photo. I don't have FF 11. I have set the preferences and even tried setting independent UI to True as above, but all I see is the Filter Forge 12... link and I can't even select it. Quote

SonjaThompson Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Oh, okay, I didn't know I had to do all that. So I tried that, and could at least select it. Next, I got this message: So I generated the bug report and sent it. walt.farrell 1 Quote
Andy05 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Sorry for not being sorry about reviving this thread – I know, it's vintage... Yet, this is still one of the top results when searching Google for a solution to the problem. So, I thought I'd bump it in case someone else is still facing this issue with FF V14 and gets redirected from Google to here. I'm running Affinity Photo (and the AP beta) on Windows, but the EXE versions - I don't know if it works for the MSI installation as well! @adam1762 's solution (1) is still working! Replacing <IndependentUI value="false"/> with <IndependentUI value="true"/> in the config file does the trick for me for the latest version of Filter Forge 14.
