StudioJason Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Loving the new V2 for iPad Pro, kudos to the team! But have some questions regarding Fonts. The previous version of Affinity Photo allowed you to conveniently install directly into the app, thereby allowing you to Trash the Source File and keep free space. But there is no way to transfer the multiple Fonts saved in V1 to V2. This wouldn’t be a problem if we were talking about 1-4 Font styles…but we are talking about multiple Fonts…upward to 50+ AND any of the alternate styles! There is no way to retrieve from the older version from Files, because after manually transferring Documents over…the entire V1 File just vanished completely even (if it were possible to do so that way). I only have a few that we’re thankfully already saved via the Fonts file in the iPad File folder, but all others are lost. So we are now simply supposed to research/remember/search and find any of those because there is no migration/transfer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wish there was an open to automatically detect and migrate all files including fonts from the v1 apps. I also have loads of fonts that I installed in v1 and I have to manually install all of them one by one. That's not an easy thing to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lton_mt Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I’m also going through a scenario where I can’t rename a newly created document. There is no option to do that. Within the document the Save option is not there. Only left with Save a copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first item is rename.

Staff Callum Posted November 10, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2022 The inability to automatically transfer content between iPad versions is an unfortunate side effect of Apple Sandboxing.

StudioJason Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Oh well, no worries. Kept V1 just as an emergency backup, and able to make a list from the Settings Fonts section. ‘Just got finished installing Fonts onto V2…and as a note, have an updated Font Folder in Files now…so when a V3 comes out, I’m at least ready to go. All in all still loving it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
