colour palette not importing?

[Godlessape]

I created a custom palette in Affinty 2 on my ipad. I exported it to my mac and imported it as an application palette into affinty for mac and worked on some files. Now I reopen affintiy on my mac a week or so later to continue and the palette is gone, but when I try to import it again it wont recognise the file? I mean; I hit "import palette" I see the palette (.afpalette 2) in my download folder but its greyed out/not-selectable. What am I missing?

If that "2" is actually part of the file name, that is your problem with it being greyed-out when trying to import.

Ok, great Thanks Walt! You are my hero on this forum! Thats fixed it. I still dont understand why the palette didnt remain in the app after I first imported it. Anyway you got me over the hurdle again! Appreciate your attention.

You're welcome.

So I open affinity this morning and find the palette I imported (again) as an application palette is not available in Palettes....doesnt an application palette mean it stays in the app? I shouldnt have to import it every time I need it? Is it another setting I need to change?

Yes, an Application palette should remain after you import it.

Did you close the application properly after the import? If it crashed, or if you shutdown the OS without closing the application that could cause problems.

Ah! Ok, the power tripped yesterday - and I live in South Africa with loadshedding so that could've been the issue last time too. As usual Walt; the voice of clear and unfettered wisdom!
