No access to the beta anymore

[Polygonius]

After installing 167 official i cannot open the beta anymore. 

I created a lot of macros, pallets...other stuff in the beta. 

 

Well i could replace all relevant *.propcol but that would override all macros or pallets..., so i had to do a lot of manually savings before.

The more easy way would be to get access a last time to the beta and saving all my stuff from there and import JUST the "sub-folder" i want and not overwriting eg. ALL pallets.

Hi Polygonius,

 

Welcome to the forums  

 

Unfortunately once the release version numbers match the beta version numbers the betas are disabled. We recommend not using the beta builds for professional work due to this reason.

 

Thanks

Is the 167 from the App Store (Mac) the same as the Golden Master?

Because I have the problem with overlapping fields - and that was solved in the GM and in the official release the problem is here again.

Or are there other reasons for this behavior. Must I delete some settings? The GM was the first version where it looks OK-

Well, that is not always made very clear. In the OP of the Affinity Photo Customer Beta (1.6.7 - GM Seed) topic @Andy Somerfield said

This build is an iteration of the current App Store release and should be used in preference to the App Store release, if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

 

I can't find the topic at the moment but shortly after the 1.6.7 retail version was released, I asked if there was any way to salvage the macros & such from the GM seed beta because I had been using the beta for that reason.
