ivanweiss.london Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Is there a way to recover these? I've tried going back to 1.6.7 via Time Machine but that does not reinstate them. Are they lost forever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Future Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi Ivan - I don't know how, but I stumbled across a solution to get the macros back. 1. I remade a small macro: flatten + duplicate layer 2. When I clicked the little icon to save it, all of my previous macro library reappeared - including the newly remade one. When I closed and relaunched Affinity, my macro library was back to normal - i.e. as it was prior to the V1.7 update. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanweiss.london Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thanks to @paschulke2 for this. If you roll back to 1.6 from a Time Machine backup, you can recover your preferences, macros, etc by restoring these files and folders: ~/Library/Preferences/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto.plist ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/ ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto and all "xxx.com.seriflabs …" folders in ~/Library/Group Containers/ "~" is the placeholder for your home folder.

BrianM257 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 well surprise suprise surprise, not noted anywhere with the update to 1.7 that all the MACROS set up in 1.6 would not be carried over with the update. I'm rolling back to 1.6 so I can get some work done. sorry bye. Moderator: I'll want a refund. yes? no? No? yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotlyc Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I found an easy workaround. I found the macro file (My Macros.afmacros) that I saved in the finder and double clicked it. It opened in Affinity 1.7 and the macro library was reinstated. The same works for my custom brushes. However, I'm reverting to 1.6.7 because of the problem with Nik plugins. The above technique also worked to reinstate the brushes and macros in 1.6.7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
