FredLarson Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I had created several styles and then decided to clean up my styles by recategorizing them into new categories. I ended up having to create new objects, apply my existing styles to them, create new styles in the new categories that I had created, and then delete the old styles from the default categories. I tried to find out where Affinity Designer stores the styles on my disk but was unsuccessful. I was hoping I could solve the problem at the Finder. So where are the styles stored and can they be edited? If not, I will add a feature request to be able to move styles between categories. Thanks...

Staff Leigh Posted June 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 10, 2016 All the Styles are stored in a file called objectstyles.propcol which can be found here: /Users/{your username}/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/user/. It's not possible to edit this file, sorry. I would add a Feature Request as i'm sure other users would find it useful to better manage their styles. calcat and FredLarson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for where things are stored, and what they are called. Although I use Win 10, I was able to locate this file by searching my drive. I want to be able to back up my created styles, and this will do the trick I think? I'm going to experiment a bit, but I expect that even new categories will be stored in the objectstyles.propcol file? Thanks again!

R C-R Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 calcat, You may find this other post by the always helpful Leigh of interest. It shows what the resets affect & where just about all the support files are stored. It is written for Macs but the file names are probably the same for Windows, if not the file paths. I think you are probably right about backing up that (& the other .propcol files for what they store) & new categories being added to the respective .propcol files. I only have Macs to test with but that seems to be the way it works for them. I am sure other Windows users would like to know what you discover with your experiments.
