Komatös Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hi Newly added content is linked without this feature being enabled in the preferences. I have uninstalled all three programs, removed all folders that belong to those programs, and then reinstalled all three programs in hopes that the automatic linking will no longer occur. Unfortunately without success. It doesn't matter if I do it via D&D, via the File menu, via My Account, or via the "hamburger" icon of the various categories. And it doesn't matter, in which programme of the suite I add contend. Please switch the video to full screen to see what happend. nrSm8cpT8y.mp4 Ron P. 1 Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.1742) Affinity Suite V 2.5.5 & Beta 2.(latest) Interested in a free (selfhosted) PDF Solution?

Ron P. Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I can confirm this. Now I wonder if this a Windows only or this happens on Mac too.

walt.farrell Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Content from the Affinity Store, installed via Account, is always Linked. This is intentional. Content that you install manually follows the Preference setting.

Komatös Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 @walt.farrell As you can see in my video, the corresponding function is switched off. And I add the content via the hamburger menu.

It is possible that all Affinity Store content is automatically Linked, whether you install via Account or manually. Can you try with a set of brushes that is not installed, but also did not come from the Affinity Store?

Komatös Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 @walt.farrell It's not just brushes, but all categories (assets, swatches, etc.). It doesn't matter if it's Affinity Store content or from other providers. For brushes also the ones in .abr format. walt.farrell 1 Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.1742) Affinity Suite V 2.5.5 & Beta 2.(latest) Interested in a free (selfhosted) PDF Solution?

Staff Tom Lachecki Posted December 8, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 8, 2022 That preference applies to new categories (i.e. "Create Category"). Imported categories will always be linked by default. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
