marciomendonsa Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Dear friends, how do I assign shortcuts to the Nik Collection? For example, [CTRL] [ALT] [SHIFT] to activate Silver Efex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 You can try to assign keyboard shortcuts under the APh keyboard settings.

marciomendonsa Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 V_kyr, these options do not appear when I select photos / filters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Retry several times until they appear, also expand the Plugin menus of those which might force a showup then with chance. - These somehow hide sometimes and then again show up after (re)switching shortcut settings and the like. So it needs patience until you get them caught.

Regardless, if they show up sometimes but not others, this has to be considered a bug, right? One other thought: due to the differences in sandboxing restrictions, it might depend on if Affinity Photo for Mac came from the Affinity Store or the Mac App Store. @v_kyr, which store did your copy come from?

Staff stokerg Posted April 23, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi @marciomendonsa I've not been able to get this to work on the Windows release or beta, so it does appear to be an issue with Windows. I was able to get it to work in the Mac latest beta and also the version from the Mac App Store, once i'd opened up the Plugin section on Filters as @v_kyr suggested. I'll need to get this logged either way, as it's different behaviour on Windows to Mac, which i suspect is down to sandboxing but i'll know more once the Dev team have had a look.

I finally got it to work on the MAS version, but every filter is listed as part of the first plugin group, in my case Flaming Pear, which includes just 2 filters: More to the point, while I can assign a keyboard shortcut to a NIK plugin (like Alt-CMD-B above), it does not work in the app, producing just a system beep. And yes, Silver Efex Pro 2 works fine when selected from the Filters > Plugins > Nik Collection menu. FWIW, the 2 Flaming Pear filters are from their 'Freebies' plugins. They are the only 2 filters of that plugin I can get to work with Affinity Photo, & only if the target layer has a 'marching ants' pixel selection. They are installed in the Affinity Photo default plugins folder (at ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/Plugins). The NIK filters are installed at path /Applications/Nik Collection/Google.

v_kyr Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I think the whole plugin stuff here has a sort of dynamic behavior, which then access wise sometimes gets lost and thus don't work in an always consistense manner.

For me, the inconsistent manner is that these shortcuts do not work, even when I can get them to appear in the preference panel.

John Rostron Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I was going to ask why you need to shave off half a second of your workflow to call the plugin with a keyboard shortcut. However I have recently developed a wrist problem which means I try to avoid the mouse if possible. So it would be worthwhile for me if you found a solution.

In my case even it recognizes the setup keyboard shortcut, on access it then opens the completely wrong tool. Instead of Silver Efex Pro, where the shortcut was assigned to, it opens just the first under the menus listed tool Analog Efex then, where no individual shortcut is assigned to at all. screencast.mp4 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roar Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 New to Affinity and trying to make it mine! Is anything being done about this? I am having the same issue - none of the plugins are listed in the keyboard shortcut preferences to be assigned. ...and it is December 2020!
