Guyon Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Somehow the latest Affinity Photo is on my tiny solid state C: drive. How do I get that to my D:Program Files without losing all my brushes that are in place?
walt.farrell Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 The brushes, etc. would be in your Affinity Photo Appdata folder (e.g., by default, c:\users\<your username>\appdata\roaming\Affinity\<some-more-directories-here>. Windows provides methods for you to move that data. Making sure that you first have a good backup of your computer, and a way to restore things if you have problems, here are a couple of answers that may help. (The second one is pointed to from the first one, and is for Win 7, but seems like it could work for Win 10.) There may be more answers. I have not tried any of these approaches.

Guyon Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 I don't care about the AppData folder. I just want to move/reinstall Affinity photo to my drive without losing my brushes.

Or, perhaps simpler and more complete, you can take a backup of %Appdata%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\user before removing Affinity Photo, and restore it after you reinstall -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
