rhouska Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I would like to share the app settings of photo, publisher and desinger (all V2) initially for our entire company. The com.seriflabs.affinity[app].plist files should actually be in user > library > preferences. Unfortunately, despite changing the settings several times, I can only find the .plist file of affinityphoto2 there... What could be the reason for this? Where else are the settings saved? This would be very interesting for us, because only the colour settings of CMYK have to be changed from U.S. coatet to Euroscale coatet.

walt.farrell Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Welcome to the Affinity forums. I'm not sure if what you want will be in a .plist file or in one of the .propcol files (or possibly a different type of file). The FAQ describes the locations for all of them. Note that the exact location depends on where you downloaded/installed the application from. It may also be different if you're using a commercial license rather than a personal license, so if you do not find the info from using the FAQ and if you're using a commercial license (as I infer from your description of wanting this for a company), then I would suggest emailing corpsupport@serif.com for further assistance.

wonderings Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Assuming you are on a Mac, you can use a free app called "AppCleaner". Normally this is used for deleting applications as it goes and pulls everything from that app and moves it to the trash for you. What you can do with it in your case is drop the app in, it will show you where everything is and you can reveal those in the finder and move that way. Just don't delete the app! This is a link to the app itself. Light weight, no installing, you can move it anywhere. Really handy tool. https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/ You can right click on each item as well and select reveal in finder.

Thank you for your quick reply. yes, the preferences that i want to share across the company are in the .plist file. and i also know the article you linked. the whole thing also works with the photo app, but not with the designer and not with the publisher. that's why i first asked the question here in the forum. obviously i will contact corpsupport for further help. thank you very much!

walt.farrell Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 You're welcome. I may have more when I'm back at my Mac tomorrow. It wasn't clear to me if you were using the instructions in that article or not.

The com.seriflabs.affinity[app].plist files should actually be in user > library > preferences. I am not sure why you can only find the .plist file for affinityphoto2 but keep in mind that the plist files are updated dynamically every time you open or create a new file, so if you shared them across the company they would not remain the same the moment any user opened or created a new file.

Very strange. If they're installed (and from the same Store as Photo the .plist for Designer and Publisher should be there, too. And they are on my system (installed from Affinity Store): Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

rhouska Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 I may have found the problem: I also bought and installed the Affinity Suite privately via my icloud account. I had deleted and reinstalled the programs. Now there is still an automatic link to this account instead of using my company licence/installation (but only for publisher and designer, not for photo...) On the other computers in the company, the file is in the right place and works as desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Does that mean your issue is resolved, @rhouska, or do you still need assistance?
