Macro Export from one machine & Import to other machine failure


Recommended Posts

Hoping someone can assist I have 2 machines both running Windows version of Affinity Photo version 1.10.6.  When I do an export of macros from the library panel it successfully creates the .afmacros file.  When I try and load this to the second machine using import on the library panel Affinity Panel shuts down/crashes.  I have attached the exported file as I hope this will help someone help me with this. 

VPSP_Macros.afmacros

Crashes for me, too, using 1.10.6.

It imports successfully using 2.0.4.

I don't know what to say except, perhaps, try exporting again. Also, can you re-import onto the original machine?

Or, if you wanted to, you could copy all the macros from the source machine to the target. They are all located in a single file named macros.propcol, and you could easily copy it from one machine using Photo 1.10 to another. Of course, this will wipe out any macros that are unique to the target machine, which may not be what you want.

This FAQ will describe how to locate the file:
