Assets Panel - Won't Open

[JoeFine]

Greetings.

New user here,... thoroughly enjoying Affinity Designer and your tutorials.

When going to View>Studio>Assets... nothing happens.

 

Same for Constraints, Symbols and Text Styles, under the Studio menu option.

None of these panels open, or show that they have been clicked in the Studio dropdown.

 

I just updated to 1.5.4

Thanks for any assistance.

In View > Studio is there a checkmark next to Assets (and/or Constraints, Symbols, etc.)? If so, it means the panel is open somewhere, either as a floating (detached) window or 'docked' somewhere in the Studio, either in its own section or as a tab in a panel group.

 

There can be both left & right Studio panels, so make sure neither is set to hidden (at the bottom of the View > Studio menu items). The individual panels of tab groups can sometimes be hard to see because their names may be abbreviated to just a few letters to fit all the tabs into the group, so look carefully in any crowded tab groups to see if the missing ones might be there.

 

If none of this helps, the last item on the View > Studio menu, "Reset Studio," may, although be aware that will reset all Studio panels to factory defaults & you may have to re-enable any that don't initially appear.

 

If even that doesn't help, you may need to reset the app by holding down the CMD key (Mac) when you launch the app & reverting everything to factory defaults by checking all the boxes in the 'Clear User Data' window that pops up, but this will set everything to factory defaults, so do this only as a last resort.

Thanks for the reply... "Reset Studio" did the trick.

Happy new year.

Good to see this post and get pointed in the right direction. I must have accidentally placed my asset panel off screen - there was a little corner showing and I was able to move it back, but honestly, I would not have noticed that if it wasn't for seeing this post.

PS - Loving Affinity!
