Metshu Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I live in an area where my internet connection is intermittent and I have repeatedly tried and tried downloading a sample only to get a timed out download error resulting in the download to start back to zero... Could you please provide an external link to the samples? It would be so much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Maybe I'm missing something but if the problem is an intermittent internet connection, how would downloading the files from another source improve things?

Metshu Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 A download manager :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metshu Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Folx truly helps me download files and it has helped me pretty good so far, my internet speed can really crawl at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metshu Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 I can forward receipts, I bought Designer & Photo, I may be part of a tiny minority of people with poor downloading capabilities but having a link would save us a lot of grief and I really look forward to being able to see an actual sample. If it's problematic in making such a link public then maybe forward a temporary one to those with proof of purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I still don't get what you mean by external link or how that would help, with or without a download manager. Everything uploaded to these forums is uploaded to Affinity's servers, so what would this "external" link point to?

Metshu Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Sorry if I'm not being clear, by an external link I mean having an actual URL pointing to the sample files that I can click via a browser so that my download manager can take over (e.g. http://www.overhere.com/thefile.zip ),clicking on the welcome screen icons within Photo or Designer doesn't allow the download manager to take over since the download manager is browser based I guess, by external I mean "outside" the software's welcome screen, it could be a link from within this forum or wherever the Affinity team wants it to be, am I really that confusing? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 23, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi Metshu, Sorry the delay replying to your question.

R C-R Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Metshu, Apologies for my being so dim witted. When you said "samples" I thought you meant the files uploaded here, to the forums. Yes, I know your title said "Welcome Screen Sample" but somehow that just did not register in my tired old brain until now.

Guest Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hello! Are these samples downloaded on my Mac? If yes, to which folder? I would like to be able to delete them myself manually to make sure I am not filling my HD with samples. Thank you! Miss C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 4, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi miss_c, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, unless you click the cloud icon to download them. From your screenshot seems you have downloaded the Selene sample only.

Guest Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi, Yes, I did download the Selene sample. Where can I delete it? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Mac, you can use the File > Reveal in Finder menu item when any file is open in AD or AP to open the Finder window containing it. However, for the sample files this will show a sub-folder location deep in /private/var/folders/. The contents of that folder are emptied every time the Mac is restarted (it is a feature of the Mac OS) so you really don't need to worry about deleting it. Additionally, you may find it difficult to delete files in this location manually depending on the OS version & the permissions of the folders enclosing it.
