Barry Newman Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Finally I am deleting the Affinity trio version 1 from macOS (Ventura). I now trust v2 fully so no reason to keep them. I will remove them from the app folder and move them to the trashcan. Already deleted Photo and Publisher then stopped for a moment... What about v1 brushes and settings? They will be left somewhere and should be deleted manually? I guess the migration proces when I installed v2 copied brushes and settings to a new v2 location? If there are data Serif should also make a How-To. I really would like to have uninstallers or the like doing this for the many that don't know how to do this. Where and what should be removed - if anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 There's a FAQ that provides details on where other items are stored for V1. You could look to see if they're automatically deleted, but I think they probably aren't. And that's as most users would want, because that way if they need to uninstall and reinstall the application, they don't lose their customized settings and data.

Barry Newman Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Great, thank you! Ah, I don't think we know if that's what most people want, I refuse to believe that's knowledge that's even remotely in this forum. What I miss is as I have experienced with Windows programs, where the uninstall program asks if settings should also be deleted - of course not selected by default and with proper confirmation, so everyone understands the seriousness. But you are simply given the choice and the cleanup is done properly and completely. Forum FAQ's are completely out of reach of... 98-99% of customers? I think software developers need to think about not just migrating to a new product, but ultimately away from it and shutting it down. And then software should clean up after itself. I've never dared to buy a 128GB disk for this reason alone, because it doesn't happen. Well, thanks, I'll have a look in some folders like in the good old nineteens. :) walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
