nwhit Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Affirm that Photo does not import the plugins pref, and all apps didn't import the Toolbar pref for Icon & Text. But THANK YOU, THANK YOU for importing the actual Studio layout from the working versions! That has always been such a PITA having to rest those up. debraspicher and Tom Lachecki 1 1 Quote -------------------- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020 i7 72GB) • AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB • macOS Ventura MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Ventura iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvoracek Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 This may be by design, but the above option does not copy the left studio tools from the release app 2.0.4. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intuos5 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It would also be nice if the studios would be imported by default. If I have to go to the list to activate my studio preset that's not that bad, but I prefer not to have to look it up on my drive. But I am happy the studio preset does apply correctly.

Intuos5 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I'm also noticing that the preference setting, for show lines in points is not copied over, because it is enabled, while I disabled it (I'm not using the migrate content button).

aaturner Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Just installed beta version 2.1.0.1781 of all apps on Windows 11 via the .exe (downloaded from the Affinity website), rather than the msix alternative. Pressed the magic "Copy settings & content from release apps" to transfer libraries, plug-ins etc. from v2.0 and to set myself up for a quick start. Unfortunately, everything in the beta versions was removed/reset, with nothing at all transferred. Is this a solely Windows problem or have I missed an obvious trick and done something silly? This has happened to me once before, resulting in my having to install everything manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DanG Posted May 2, 2023 Staff Share Posted May 2, 2023 Unfortunately this feature currently won't work for .exe installs. We had to change the data path for the .exe installations in 2.1. You should find that the .exe installations can be migrated from after 2.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, out of curiosity, what does that mean for the official 2.1 release, using .exe installs? Will we have to redo all our setup migrating from 2.0.4 to 2.1 there, too?

lphilpot Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 My concern, too. I've been using 2.1 betas exclusively now, not my 2.0.4 release version (which is still installed). Will there be a way to migrate my beta settings to the 2.1 release version?

I'm afraid this won't be an option no. This feature was designed to make the Beta settings match the Release settings for ease of testing the betas, but won't go the other way. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaturner Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Thank you all for your comments. While disappointing, I shall thus stick with using V2.04 for the time being for my main work and play around with v2.1 for testing purposes until the release version is ready. Pity, really, but all part of life's rich tapestry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
