tonyt Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Hi I am on a Mac / Monterey. Does V2 install over V1? If not, what happens to all my custom brushes and settings? Do I have to transfer them over? Where are they all located so I can find them? have looked on the web and Seriff site but can't really find any definitive information. With the launch of a new version I would have expected some detailed notes somewhere to help folk along the way. Maybe a sticky at the top of the forum page? Also, if V2 does NOT overwrite V1, should then delete V1 myself, and if so, how - and I mean FULLY delete. Hope that's all clear Many thanks for swift help as don't want to miss the reduced purchase price!!! Cheers... Quote
walt.farrell Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 No, it is a separate application, and you will have both installed after you install V2. When you first run the V2 application it will attempt to migrate brushes, assets, etc. from the V1 application. There are some items that are not migrated, though. For example, Studio Presets, Develop Persona Presets, and some others I haven't list here. So the migration won't be perfect. I'm not sure how you'd fully delete the V1 app. To start, dragging it from Applications into the trash, but I don't know if that cleans up the V1 related folders in the macOS file system that hold your user data. Someone with a Mac will need to comment further on that. But unless you are extremely tight on space, I would keep it for awhile. You may need to refer back to help in migrating some of those things that aren't migrated automatically. Also, if you need to share native Affinity files with anyone still using V1, you'll need to create/edit them on V1. Or if you want to answer questions and assist someone who has V1, it will be helpful to be able to look at V1 and describe the way it did things.

tonyt Posted November 12, 2022 Author Posted November 12, 2022 Many thanks for swift response. Will keep hold of V1 for a while as suggested. A 'good idea'! Cheers... walt.farrell 1 Quote
