Mork handley Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 The FAQs for V2 iPad says “You can easily transfer your existing content (including any content you may have purchased from the Affinity Store) and open all your V1 docs in V2” (see attached). https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/affinity-2-faq/ But here, an expert says no, due to sandboxing this is not possible. I have hundreds of files I will need to access in V2 and can not manually export and import each and every file (without weeks off work to do it)! PLEASE tell me there’s a workaround! Quote

Just navigate to that folder and open the file. Easy, unless you haven’t been saving your files. No, please don’t say you don’t Save your work.😩 So, in the event that you haven’t been Saving your work, then your options are limited. You will need to physically save the files in order to create the .afxxxx external file version, The easiest/quickest method is to swipe each project icon on the Home Screen and tap Save. The saved file will be placed in your default Affinity folder. If you haven’t named them, they will be saved as unnamed.afxxx, unnamed 01.afxxx and so on. A few seconds for each file. If already named they will save as name.afxxx. After saving them all, just use Files app to copy all the files in the old default save folder and paste them in the new folder. You can open them from the new folder. Finally, my advise is to always save your work outside of Affinity. Edit: Check out this method it may work.

Mork handley Posted November 11, 2022 Author Posted November 11, 2022 Thanks for the response. Like others I assumed I didn’t need to manually save every single file as modern apps don’t normally require that. I also can’t see a way to identify WHICH are manually saved and which are not, so I presume I will need to still save each and every one manually to be sure!!! Frankly, it seems like a nightmarish mess which I don’t have to the time to deal with. emmrecs01 1 Quote
