Importing Macros


Recommended Posts

I upgraded to #2 recently and I'm trying to Import Macros I created in #1. I already have a .afmacro created from #1.
In #2 I opened the Macro panel and clicked on the Import button. The resulting finder window can 'see' my file but it is not selectable.

Apple Mac running Ventura 13.1

Do you have a .afmacro file, or a .afmacros file? One is exported from (and imported into) the Macro panel. The other uses the Library panel.

In case this isn't totally clear, only *afmacros files can be imported into the Library panel.

Oh WOW. That's impressive!

I had only opened the Macros Panel and hadn't looked at the Library Panel.

Answers above made me realise I needed both. So I opened the Library Panel and Hey Presto there were my macros....already. Well done Affinity people on picking up the old settings into the new version.

Thank you @walt.farrell and @RC-R for the pointers.
