Affinityconfusesme Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I was importing raster brushes into ap and i got an error that it can't import the brushes. I have never seen this error before even though I have imported brushes into ap before without this occuring.

GarryP Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Can you: 1. tell us which brushes you were trying to import (e.g. filename and the name of the brush set); 2. tell us where you got them from (website, link, etc.); 3. show us what the error message is in a screenshot?

carl123 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 That's a bundle of several brushes, did they supply just one download file? If so, it may have been a zip file which you will need to uncompress first or just a file with a link where you can download the files Please confirm what file(s) you got when you downloaded the bundle and if just one file what is the file extension?

Affinityconfusesme Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 it was about a dozen different folders that are compressed in one big folder.

carl123 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 If you are having trouble importing a specific .abr file the moderators can supply you with a dropbox link where you can upload that specific .abr file for testing Do not upload it to the forum as it is a paid for brush Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Affinityconfusesme Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 I have given Chris b these brushes for testing in 2.0.4 when it took overnight to import all 5000 brushes to improve the import speed.

Staff Callum Posted July 25, 2023 Staff Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hi Tzvi20, Chris B has currently finished today and its possible he no longer has these brushes as they are paid for brushes would you mind uploading the brushes that the error occurs with to the following link? https://www.dropbox.com/request/46OCkwg3bX7AgGG7iuJ7 Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

You seem to have 4 message boxes showing and stacked there. What did you do to cause that? Can you upload the .afbrushes file you were attempting to install?
