Craig Deeley Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I am wondering where the brush sets in AD live. Specifically the sets that can be exported as .afbrushes files. Reason: I had been creating brushes in AD in the latest beta (1.4.2 (Beta 3). This beta is defunct til a new one comes out... But - My brush sets created in the defunct beta only seem to be available in the beta. They need to be exported (from the beta) and imported to any other version of AD. I did not export them before the beta expired. I am wondering if I can retrieve them either thru the next beta or if they live outside of the .app - can I pull them from another location? I would hate to have to rebuild dozens of brushes (and styles) because the beta locked me out. Any information and assistance is much appreciated.

Staff MEB Posted March 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hi Craig, The brushes are stored in: /Users/your username/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner.beta/Data/Library/Application Support/user/raster_brushes.propcol and vector_brushes.propcol files.

Craig Deeley Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Miguel, Thanks so much! I am able to dig them right up. Big files for my vector resources. Over 900Mb! I noted I have .affinitydesigner.beta, .affinitydesigner.trial containers as well as a .affinitydesigner The trial version actually had brushes not in the purchased version. I am able to copy the raster and vector files in and out, archive old ones in my purchased version and replace them with my brush sets from the beta version. Very, very good to know. Thanks again! You Rock! Quote My Portfolio site: http://www.i-toons.com My art related blog: http://greenlightcd.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle808us Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 This has to do with Affinity Photo Mac? Is it possible to go into: raster_brushes.propcol & vector_brushes.propcol. located in: /Users/_YOUR_USERNAME_/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner/Data/Library/Application Support/user/ . Then create folders to consolidate brush categories in Photo? Would they then show up in Photo as new categories? Over writing the old? Thanks Quote Mac MacBook Pro 15 in.

Staff MEB Posted December 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi uncle808us, No, creating folders there will NOT consolidate them or show up in Photo's Brushes panel as new categories. You have to manage brushes categories inside the program.
