miklas0815 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 When clicking on Design Persona in Affinity Publisher, the dialogue below appears. All Affinity applications are installed in the latest version and work properly. I have stopped and restarted all of them. Still, the integration of Publisher with Photo works perfectly, not so with Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGSvM Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Struggling with this too. Tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, designer is greyed out in the menu. Tried so far: Re-installing all three apps -> no effect Restarting windows -> nothing Opening closing -> Nope Making/saving files -> none Placing file -> nada Opening apps simultaneously -> nope .......... All apps are downloads from this morning (1.7.1.404). Oddly enough, Photo (eval copy) works, but Designer (licensed) doesn't.

JGA Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm having the same issue with both Photo and Designer. I can open both via the File pulldown menu (Windows user), but the persona buttons just bring up the Studiolink warning message Both Photo and Designer are up to date.

MMetzger Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I tried the suggestion of creating a document in Publisher, saving it and opening in both Photo and Designer, re-saving from both, and staring Publisher again. StudioLink still does not work. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMetzger Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Since all 3 work independently, does it pay to re-install? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMetzger Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Nothing that I have tried make StudioLink work. Should I buy Photo and Designer again as directed in Publisher and then ask for a refund, since I already own both? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that does not seem advisable. Since you already have them, getting additional copies should not help. Please confirm again your version numbers for Publisher, Photo, and Designer using Help > About dialogs. Also, where did you buy each of them?

After having deleted the .appinfo files it still didn't work but double clicking on a file for each application recreated the right .appinfo files and it worked.

Should I buy Photo and Designer again as directed in Publisher and then ask for a refund, since I already own both? Thanks, Mike Using v1.7.1.404 of all three Apps. I tried everything listed by everybodyIN THIS AND OTHER THREADS with no success. I bought Photo & Designer a couple of years ago, using a now-defunct email address and I was wondering if different email addresses had an influence. Rather than buy, I requested a free trial and downloaded Designer & Photo from the site accessed from within Publisher, using my current email address. That didn't work either. I thought that maybe downloading another copy of Publisher from a different Serif site might help. There had been some discussion about Beta versions not working and though I had downloaded v1.7.1.404, I had done so from the Beta stream. . I downloaded Publisher v1.7.1.404 from the store rather than from within the forum. THAT WORKED !!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know which steps had the desired effect, and I can't imagine I will use the Persona option too often --- but it's VERY impressive. I am hoping that the Finance software can find my Product Keys: if not I'll talk to the nice guys at Serif Support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried all the suggestions in the forum, but Studiolink still does not work from within Publisher. Such a major feature (that sets Publisher apart from the competition) should not cause so many problems.

Staff MEB Posted December 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hi VectorWhiz, I shouldn't make any difference where you bought them. Can you give us a few more details about your situation? Where did you bought the applications and what versions are you using/running? Make sure they are all updated to the latest versions and that you have run/started each one at least once.

Having the customer beta 1.8.0.514 of Designer and Photo is not relevant to Publisher 1.7.3 (it's only relevant Publisher customer beta 1.8.0.x) Affinity Publisher 1.7.3.xxx requires to find Affinity Photo 1.7.3 and Affinity Designer 1.7.3 on the same machine, and for them to have been run at least once. It should not make a difference which store you bought these from. Publisher 1.7.3 needs Designer and Photo 1.7.3 (so not 1.7.2 for example and not customer beta 1.8.0) Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

VectorWhiz Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I trust future upgrades of the programs will sort out this compatibility issue. I already created a bunch of files in the newer Designer and Photo Beta version, which causes it to make sense for me to stick to them. I was just wondering why the Studiolink did not work.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2019 You can install Publisher Beta 1.8.0 for the studiolink to function with those betas. This is the designed behaviour and will not likely change. Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

VectorWhiz Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 It works. Thanks a bundle. I wasn't aware of the fact that the 1.8.0 version of Publisher had been issued. Apologies for the confusion. Patrick Connor 1 Quote Home: https://vectorwhiz.com : : : : Portfolio blog: https://communicats.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
