Were is the .exe file from V2 installed?
I've serious problems assigning functions to programs like my wacom since I installed V2. (Photo, Publisher and Designer)
I cannot assign specific functions to Affinity products anymore, but since I've V2 I cannot find this program anymore and cannot assign specific fucntions to buttons specially for these programs.

Were are all personal settings from V2 stored?
For backup purposes I want to backup all my setting and personal layout
Where are those stored? And can I put my backup back in case of a reinstall?

Many Thanks!!
1) Exe file in:  C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\AffinityPhoto2.exe
2) Assets and user settings in:  C:\Users\username\.affinity\Photo\2.0\

Within Wacom I could not point to the exe file (Access denied). But I did get access using a .bat file.

See related and try that launcher utility or do your own via scripting:

My Wacom Tablet Properties finds Photo as an open application.

This is all because the 2.0 products are Windows "MSIW" apps. Affinity is the first app that I actually use that is in this "New" format.

It seems that a lot of / most other applications don't recognize the format of the new program type and it's shortcuts. It's probable that the other software will have to be updated to get them to work with these apps.

I'm having a similar problem. I want to set Affinity to Windows Ink in the Wacom control panel but I get Access Denied when I try to add the .exe to the list. How do I find/use a .bat file, as mentioned?

I'm using Windows 10 with an older Wacom Intous 3 tablet. Affinity does not show up in the Wacom list of available applications even when I have Affinity open.

Have you tried using one of the other 2 Table Input Methods, Low or High Precision? I also use a Wacom Intuos 3, on Windows 10, and Windows Ink always gave me problems.

Anyway if you want to point your Wacom Tablet Properties to AP 2, then First; Launch AP. Then launch Wacom Tablet Properties. In the Application section, click on the + to Add an Application. This opens a window that shows you currently running apps. Select AP from the list. Done!!

I've just tested this with AP 2 and the current Beta version. Works like a charm.

Thank you. I found Photo on the list but not Affinity Designer. I'll also try out the low and high precision modes and see what works best. 👍
