Designer V1 Styles v V2 Styles

[dpeddicord]

How do I get all the styles available in V1 into V2?

V2 has only a few, while V1 has many more.

@dpeddicord  Welcome to the Forums!  When you opened V2, was there a window which asked you if you would like to migrate your content from V1? Did you check that?  Did all of your brushes, assets, and palettes migrate to your V2?  If so, then if you have saved your V1 you will be better off exporting your styles from V1. (This is because you would get a second copy of everything if you followed the steps described in the second paragraph below.)  It will be a tedious process because you can only export one Style category at a time, but you can go to the V1 Styles Panel hamburger icon, select Export Style, and save each category on your desktop.  If you create a Folder for these, then when you are finished you can close V1 and open V2.  Of course, if you have a backup folder already with all of your Styles, then you are well ahead in the process.  The good news is that you can import more than one Styles category at a time into V2.  I recommend no more than 5 categories or so at a time, though, because depending upon how intricate your styles may be, you could be looking at the beachball of death for long enough (a minute or two) that you may think you have stalled out.   Be patient.

If you did not check the migrate content option, then you should be also missing your brushes, assets, etc. as well.  There is an easy way for you to try again.   Close your V2 application.  Then hold CTRL while opening it again.  Release CTRL after the app opens.  There will be a Reset Menu.  Untick all options.  Then click on Reset Content Migration Prompt and then hit Clear.  This should force the prompt to appear again.   This should make it possible to import all your brushes, assets, styles, and palettes, from V1 — again if you have saved your V1.   I hope this will help!

That worked!  Thanks!

@dpeddicord  ¡Bienvenido a los foros! Cuando abrió V2, ¿había una ventana que le preguntaba si deseaba migrar su contenido de V1? ¿Comprobaste eso? ¿Todos sus pinceles, activos y paletas migraron a su V2? Si es así, entonces si ha guardado su V1 Será mejor que exporte sus estilos desde V1. (Esto se debe a que obtendrá una segunda copia de todo si siguió los pasos descritos en el segundo párrafo a continuación). Será un proceso tedioso porque solo puede exportar una categoría de Estilo a la vez, pero puede ir a la V1. Icono de hamburguesa del Panel de estilos, seleccione Exportar estilo y guarde cada categoría en su escritorio. Si crea una carpeta para estos, cuando haya terminado, puede cerrar V1 y abrir V2. Por supuesto, si ya tiene una carpeta de respaldo con todos sus Estilos, entonces está muy adelantado en el proceso. La buena noticia es que puede importar más de una categoría de Estilos a la vez en V2. Sin embargo, recomiendo no más de 5 categorías a la vez, porque dependiendo de cuán intrincados sean sus estilos, podrías estar mirando la bola de playa de la muerte durante el tiempo suficiente (un minuto o dos) como para pensar que te has estancado. Se paciente.

Si no marcó la opción de migrar contenido, entonces también debería estar perdiendo sus pinceles, activos, etc. Hay una manera fácil de volver a intentarlo. Cierre su aplicación V2. Luego mantenga presionada la tecla CTRL mientras la abre de nuevo. Suelte CTRL después de que se abra la aplicación. Habrá un menú de reinicio. Desmarque todas las opciones. Luego haga clic en Restablecer aviso de migración de contenido y luego presione Borrar. Esto debería obligar a que el aviso aparezca de nuevo. Esto debería hacer posible importar todos sus pinceles, activos, estilos y paletas desde V1, nuevamente  si ha guardado su V1.    ¡Espero que esto sea de ayuda!

and the one that does not have v1?

v2 is back to the past.

Incomprehensible, users testing the application.

Did you have it and deleted it after installing V2 or did you never have V1?

[OldManUmby]

So, I did not migrate the default styles from v1 to v2. Is there somewhere I can download the original v1 styles so I can import them?

[walt.farrell]

You could reinstall V1, export the styles, and then import them into V2.

But to save you a bit of time, another user provided them, and you should be able to download the file from their post:

Ya, I thought of that, but was hoping there would be a simple download ... THANKS! ... worked perfectly.
