Sempervivum Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hi there, I have an 8BF plugin that was working fine in Affinity Photo V1. (Pro Digital Software, Starfilter Pro). Unfortunately this plugin doesn't work anymore in V2. I added the folder where the 8BF file is located in the setting for Photoshop plugins but the plugin is not showing up in the Filters. What can I do? Every advice is welcome. Best regards - Ulrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you show us a screenshot of the Preferences dialog showing your Plugins configuration? Also, did you restart Photo after you made the change?

Sempervivum Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Screenshots are attached. And yes, I restarted AP after adding the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted February 17, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hi @Sempervivum, Thanks for your report and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here. I have downloaded and installed StarFilter Pro 4, and the following is shown in their helpfile - As Affinity apps are 64bit only, the 32bit version of the plugin you are currently trying to use with the app isn't compatible, but if you change this to the 64bit version it should hopefully work as expected. I hope this helps! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Sempervivum Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hi @Dan C In the meantime I did what you recommended and installed the 64 bit version. Star Filter is working fine now! Thanks for your support! BTW: Are you a developer? I would like to draw your attention to these issues: Switching on grid is no longer working in V2 It should be possible to save and export all open tabs or files in one step On the advertising pages of AP a lot of sophisticated features are announced but very basic but essentials, as mentioned above, are neglected. This is unsatisfying. Best regards - Ulrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted March 9, 2023 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thanks for letting me know, I'm certainly glad to hear this! 14 hours ago, Sempervivum said: BTW: Are you a developer? I would like to draw your attention to these issues I'm not a developer of the Affinity app, I'm part of the technical support team here but I can certainly pass these through to our team. 14 hours ago, Sempervivum said: Switching on grid is no longer working in V2 The 'automatic' grid in Affinity Photo has been changed in V2 to a Pixel grid, meaning it may not be visible until you zoom in. You can change the grid from Automatic to other settings if you wish to have larger divisions than 1px. This is however logged with our team as a requested improvement, to return the V1 grid behaviour, or allow the user the choice for the 'Automatic' setting, but is not specifically a bug within the apps. 14 hours ago, Sempervivum said: It should be possible to save and export all open tabs or files in one step Thanks for your feedback here, I will be sure to add a 'vote' to this feature in our internal development log for you now Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
