SuperDelphi Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Yeah, that's an awesome release! I have a problem with StudioLink though... So I have the three Affinity apps on Windows (no Beta version, I bought all of these), but when I go into Publisher then I click on the Designer Persona button in the top left corner, it displays that: I can't switch into the Designer Persona, just as if it wasn't on my PC... Does anyone have the same problem? Any idea? Thanks Quote
Aammppaa Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Have you updated to the latest version of Designer (1.7.1.404)? Have you run the Designer, opened a file, and exited at least once? Try deleting the .appinfo files from C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\appinfo\Release rick.r2h, Thiagarajan, SuperDelphi and 1 other 3 1 Quote Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro
LOFTYVIEWNOBLE Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Go to your Affinity account and download Designer & Photo. These will not then be Beta versions In Windows, Delete the Beta versions of Designer & Photo leaving the full releases (eg Designer 1.7.1.404) Then you can open Publisher: Studiolink will then switch to Designer or Photo (and back) from Publisher Edited June 20, 2019 by LOFTYVIEWNOBLE Correction Quote

Speike Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Hi works fine for me. Step by Step. Close everything.. Open A.. Photo and A.. Designer and only then Open A.. Publisher. Everything should work. Quote

steven.ventimiglia Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 1. Update Affinity Designer. 2. Update Affinity Photo. 3. Install Affinity Publisher (if you haven't already.) 4. Open/close Affinity Designer, post-update. 5. Open/close Affinity Photo, post-update. 6. Run Affinity Publisher. Michael H 1 Quote
Hanzz Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 opening a file in designer and closing, worked immediately. Thanks for the tip... Quote May the fun be with you!
steven.ventimiglia Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 You just need to run both after they are updated (Designer and Photo). No need to open any files, either. My guess is that, once each is run - after being updated to the latest version - it will be added to the list of registered Affinity applications you own, by StudioLink (which is then used by Publisher, so it knows which of the other two are available.)

BGSvM Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Same Problem: Designer was installed and updated to 1.7. Program was used. Then install of Publisher 1.7. StudioLink does not see Designer. Downloaded, installed and open/closed test version of Photo --> Studiolink sees Photo. Works fine. "Repaired" Designer --> no effect Placed Designer File --> no effect (Running Win10, all apps from Affinity store) Quote
ArcadaClub Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Same Problem on Mac. Designer + Photo coming from AppStore, Designer from Webside after preorder. No Studiolink. OK - SOLVED All Programs have to be in the Mac Program Folder, not at external Drive. Quote

No Studiolink. Fortunately, that is not the issue. You need to update Designer and Photo to the latest (1.7.1 or later) version, open both apps, and open Publisher. Close and reopen Publisher in case it was already open. This procedure will register the apps in Publisher for StudioLink. StudioLink should work now. Edited June 20, 2019 by Paul Steunebrink Quote
BGSvM Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Please check this post. It solved the problem for me. Designer does not update its AppInfo. Do this manually and it works. Quote
RichardM Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I followed aammppaa's advice ... "Try deleting the .appinfo files from C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\appinfo\Release" and it worked like a charm...!! aammppaa ... you the man !! Thanks. Quote

Bit of an error that this was not included in the install instructions - what happened to a warning that the others were not up to date???? Hope this sort of thing does not occur in future!! Quote

Przemysław Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I work on Windows and was confused as well, because Photo and Designer didn't prompt about available updates. Everything worked OK when I downloaded files from my account. Quote W11, Dell G5, i7, 64GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2600, Wacom Intuos Pro M + iPad Pro 2018. sakrajda.eu
Staff stokerg Posted June 21, 2019 Staff Posted June 21, 2019 Hi everyone on this thread having issues with Studio Link. For Windows, see this thread https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/89565-the-studio-link-in-publisher-is-not-recognizing-my-installed-designer-and-photo/ For Mac Users, please make sure the Affinity apps are all in the main section of Applications and not in a sub folder, otherwise the studio link won't work.

j3rry Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I have Publisher from the Affinity Store, Designer and Photo from MAS. Launching Photo or Designer from Publisher works, but Photo has not my Brushes and Adjustments. Why is this so? It makes no sense for me not having the same tools and setting in a Publisher session launching Photo . Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, iPad Air 11", MACOS Sonoma & iPadOS, Affinity V2-Universallizenz
