GuyRuffArt Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 So I’ve tried searching the forum and I can’t find anything (at least to the best of my ability) on this, yet I see a lot about this online. I’m trying to import brushes in AP and they show up as a gray file no matter what I do on iPad Pro. It’s driving me crazy. Everything is unzipped and it’s an .abr file. What am I doing wrong?!

Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi GuyRuffArt, Welcome to Affinity Forums Where are the unzipped .abr file stored - iCloud, Dropbox, anywhere else? How are you trying to import it - are you using the Brushes Studio Import Brushes option or any other way? selenita 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyRuffArt Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hello MEB, Im using the brushes studio, the unzipped file has been stored in ‘on my iPad’, iCloud Drive, google drive, creative cloud, and drop box. The filename ends with .abr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi GuyRuffArt, I'm aware of issues importing other types of files from specific locations on iPad, but I'm not having trouble importing .abr files stored in Dropbox or from a custom folder in iCloud Drive using the Import Brushes command from the Brush panel. Do you mind attaching your .abr file just to rule out the chance of a corrupted file please. I can provide a link if you don't want to post the file publicly in the forums (it may be a commercial file, whatever reason).

GuyRuffArt Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Sure I’ll attach the file. Thank you! 20DispersionBrushes.abr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 No problem here in either Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer on iPad. Do you have Designer installed, or only Photo?

GuyRuffArt Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just Affinity Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyRuffArt Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hello, This was a complete newb move on my part. It does work for Dropbox! However it would be cool if the other cloud drives would work. I don’t use Dropbox for artist tools. When I went to search under my iOS files from import brushes AP I opened Dropbox and searched brushes (assuming it would only search my dropbox) well it searched Dropbox, drive, iCloud, creative cloud and so on. I kept opening the file from google drive ...embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted January 30, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi @Jooon, What exactly is not working? What app are you using? Can you attach a screen recording? Jooon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooon Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hey Gabe, I got it. It was because the files werenˋt in the iCloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
