Missinng Macros

[siarkie]

Strange one but I was using my macro this morning. This evening when I opened Affinity the macro was no longer there.....can you help me please?

Hello @siarkie, and welcome to the forums.

When you say "no longer there", do you mean that it is no longer  in your macros panel, or that it is no longer where you saved it on disk?

Thanks for your reply John, I meant no longer available in macro panel.......or at least not where it usually is, unless it's  hiding somewhere else.

Welcome to the forums @siarkie,

Did you ever use the 'Add to library' button to add it as a permanently available Macro in the Library panel or use the 'Export' button to save it out as an .afmacro file? If you simply closed your document/app after recording a Macro and later opened the same file the macro panel will get cleared, so if you didn't do either of these then that may explain why it's no longer there.

Thank you NathanC for your help. I had been using the macro many years so assume I had saved it otherwise I again assume I wouldn't have been able to use it. Tried imprting but nothing there. It's a really strange one and thinking I'm going to have to start over.
