Ocio configuration not remembered on M2 mac

[liseng]

I want to import Acescg renders from Cinema 4d into Affinity Photo V2. This used to work for me. In the preferences I go to Color and enter config.ocio in the first slot and the DATA folder in the second (as I am on a Mac). Restart: there is no config.ocio file. I am in a vicious circle: I tried and tried and tried. I tried Redshift's native config. I tried the config in Maxon's application folder. I tried an older version of Cinema 4d (2024). I am now in Cinema 2025. Each time I have restarted the config file has disappeared. I am on a M2 mac with Ventura installed and in V2 of the Affinity suite. This makes Affinity practically unusable for me. My final art work should be printed and I like the aces workflow better than the old one. Is there a solution for this?

@liseng Welcome to the forums.

I'd first check to make sure the config.ocio file is stored/saved in a common location before setting up in Photo V2 as some locations may not be available to our app.
