SharonGB Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hello, I just downloaded Affinity today and it came with a free Macro-pak which I also downloaded. When I follow the instructions to import the files it says no files found although I can see the files when I search my files through windows, I am pointing to the correct folder but it just does not seem to be able to see them, can someone help me?

Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 6, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 6, 2018 SharonGB Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums The instructions you mention say to import the macros into the library panel (a single macro can be imported into the macro panel but a collection of macros is imported via the libraries panel) Are you perhaps using the wrong panel?

carl123 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 @SharonGB What is the name of the macro file you are trying to import, including the extension Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

SharonGB Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi Carl123; the names of the files are below and the file types are all AF MACROS File distortions.afmacros image Styles.afmaros Light Leaks.afmacros They are all in a compressed (zipped) file in my downloads folder call Macro-pack, I can see them when I browse through windows but, when I attempt to open them in the library it say no match - it seems like Affinity can't see them because they are in this other folder or something - I am not really sure.....thanks for any help you can give me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 You should try unzipping them, then import the unzipped files into affinity via the library panel Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

SharonGB Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 this may seem like a stupid question but, how do I unzip them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Try right clicking the zipped file and see if you get an option to unzip it Or double click it to see what options you get, if any Also what version of Windows do you have?

SharonGB Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I got it, actually all i had to do was move them out of that folder directly into thedownloads folder as individual files and yippee Affinity could see them - thanks so much for your help - I would not have thought of doing that without your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
