justinpbrown71 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I have just installed AP on a new machine and am setting up my preferences. Previously I installed the NIK FX plugins in the specific order I wanted them to show in the dropdown menu. I just installed the entire NIK folder as one and they appeared in the dropdown menu in alphabetical order. So, I removed them (though they weren't actually removed after restarting AP until I restarted my machine), and installed them one-by-one in my preferred order (as I remembered doing on my previous machine). However, they have re-ordered themselves alphabetically. Has AP remembered and applied the order from the initial installation? How can I get around this? The reason I want them ordered is because I use the Silver FX plugin a lot, but the others infrequently, and it's towards the bottom of the list. Thanks.

David in Яuislip Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You could try editing status.json into the order you need, it is here %UserProfile%\.affinity\Photo\2.0\Plugins but work on a copy and don't blame me if your clocks start running backwards Quote Microsoft Windows 10 Home, Intel i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 16 GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 1TB Whirlygig, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David in Яuislip Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Ok, plan b If you add a sort letter to the folder names then it presents in that order, is this what you're after? I've only added a z to Analog Efex as a trial but it all works ok justinpbrown71 1 Quote Microsoft Windows 10 Home, Intel i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 16 GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 1TB Whirlygig, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add ! or - or space instead of a letter. justinpbrown71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
