zeeloop Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi I recently installed Designer 2.0 and Publisher 2.0 on a Mac where I effortfully set up all the workspaces, application preferences and toolboxes to my liking. Now I have to transfer the Applications onto a new Mac. How can I bring along all the customized settings? Is there a specific location in the OS' preferences library where all the settings are saved? Moving the Affinity Folders from «Application Support» unfortunately didn't do the trick. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwellborn Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 @zeeloop Did you solve this? I have used Migration Assistant, but am sure that there are other wiser souls who might have another way to do this.

But since many tools and functions in Version 2 of the programs changed a lot or got newly introduced, it was a good thing to rethink the old settings anyway. Serif's developers did a huge leap with the products, great work! 👏🏻 (Didn't use the Migration Assistant because I needed to get rid of many outdated system preferences which haven't got anything to do with Affinity) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwellborn Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 @zeeloop Wonderful! I am such a happy user of the Affinity apps, and MACS too, and when I spotted your message just now, I really wanted to be sure that you are happily up and running! Isn't "interface" a pain? I used Migration Assistant to copy from my iMac to my Macbook Pro, and then had to delete a ton of stuff in order to save some storage space. Now I am keeping my Macbook Pro on V1 for the time being, until I have everything 2-ish sorted out. At that point, I will just do a fresh download of each of the V2's from the Affinity Store, and also wrestle with the settings. Happy New Year!
