NotMyFault Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 a screenshot would help us to understand what is going on and provide advice. Do not close the file. Instead, save the file with history, and let is stay open. You should then activate the "history panel", include this in the screen shot. Which App are you using, designer or photo?

Application settings are always stored outside the Applications folder in various support folders, mostly in your Home folder, inside the usually invisible Library folder. 4 minutes ago, benrymnd said: got it back by resetting studio Yeah, that's also a method if everything else fails… Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2

Which is why different user accounts on the same computer can have different application settings & preferences -- each account's home folder stores those things independently of any other user's stuff. So the only time reinstalling an app will do anything useful is when some component of that app is corrupted or missing.
