If there are none.... I have some svg icons, I made them in the past...how can I merge them together in a single .afassets file?

If you start with a blank Affinity Designer program (no files open), on Windows you can drag multiple SVGs at once from the File Explorer onto the empty working area (I assume the same will work from Mac Finder), and each SVG file will open in a separate file with tabs above the working area to change between them, close them, etc  (you might not want to add hundreds at a time or it might get unwieldy).

 

For each SVG file open, you can select the shapes you want to add (or Ctrl+A for all) and use the subcategory drop-down to add the selected parts as an asset (separate shapes will add as separate assets, groups will add as a single asset).
 

 
Once you have assets on the Assets panel, you can export an entire category (with subcategories) as an .afassets file that will be importable (at least into Designer, I haven't tried with Photo).
