Affinity Photo 2 How To Backup Preferences Workspaces Etc


Recommended Posts

Hi,. I am running Photo 2.0.3
I was pleased to find that it imported  my personal Photo 1.10.6 macros to the Library - great, I was expecting to have to re-write those as V2  "under the hood" is apparently radically different to V1. I think there was an option to import available when first installing V2. V2 did not import my personal workspace changes but no big deal.
I regularly back up preferences workspaces macros etc in my most used software e.g. capture One Pro, Vegas Pro, in case of catastrophic failure or to copy to a 2nd PC. Usually I can find the relevant data for copying in the Windows 11 AppData folder but at present I am only finding this for V1 not for V2:
C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0
Where would I find this for Photo V2? Thanks.

For V2, start in %USERPROFILE%\.affinity

Just in case someone needs this info..
my win11 laptop uses:  %USERPROFILE%\.affinity  
but my win11 desktop uses : %appdata%\Roaming\Affinity\Publisher\2.0\Workspaces

Just in case you look and don't find it in %USERPROFILE%

Probably, your laptop is using the MSIX install, and your desktop is using the EXE/MSI install.

good point. I didn't pay attention during laptop install. I probably did use the MSIX(obviously I did).
