Same problem here.  I also downloaded the new version and now are unable to add new brushes.  I posted question today and I'm waiting for a reply from Affinity.

Hey Struppi, welcome to the Affinity Forums.

Would you be able to upload the brush to this private Dropbox folder please?

Can you also upload yours to the same place @gregory ciencin?

Edit - It looks like we've already logged this but it still wouldn't hurt to get the brushes from you just to be safe.

Same problem using Mac version.

Here on my System it's the same. Not able to import .abr files. They all giving the same error.

If needed, i can upload some of them in the evening when i'm back at home.

Same problem using Mac version. 

[DigitalVisuals]

yes can confirm this. Most .abr files can't imort in 1.7.2 
i have test this with brushes I have already active from 1.7.1 see the screen shot, the same brushe is active, but a test to import gives error, normal I got a second version in the list.

Here are some Brushsets that can't be imported and output the error. Hope they are helpful to find the Bug.

using windows 10 latest update

Affinity 1.7.2.471, current

I tried to imprt some oldish photoshop brushes [for lightening effect] without success into the latest Affinity Photo release.

 

Quick fix, since they had imported into the last beta [1.7.2.434], was to export from there and import into the current Affinity photo release

This suggested workaround (fix) is indeed working:

1. downgrade your AP beta version to 1.7.2.434
2. import the brushes you want
3. export the brushes
4. import them to AP 1.7.2.471

yes brushes are gone and when re-importing: 1 out of 10 brushes worked, the one I don't need right now -.-

Same problem here. Can't import abr brushes, even the ones I had previously imported in previous version. This happened after the update to 1.7.2. Please help solve this, it is frustrating. 

[Talpiot]

1. downgrade your AP beta version to 1.7.2.434
2. import the brushes you want
3. export the brushes
4. import them to AP 1.7.2.471

That's the way to do it and it works.

I did it. If you have Publisher, I didn’t accept the update, I went to the Photo persona and downloaded all the abr brushes with no problem.

if you don’t have publisher, you’ll have to wait for Affinity to do another update fixing what they messed up.

[Frances Proctor]

how do I downgrade back to 1.7.2?

[Frances Proctor]

I have another workaround that works without needing to downgrade but it is a bit of a pain. It got me through what I wanted to do for now.

 

TextureMate .com has a little app that is free called AbrMate.  AbrMate can open most .abr files and allow you to convert them to png files which can then be used to recreate the brushes in Affinity as Affinity brushes. If you are needing only a few brushes this is Ok    But I would still like to find out how to downgrade.

[dimmageiras]

Here you are Angelize, this is the link to download AP 1.7.2.434. For me the install failed, so I had to uninstall the latest beta and then install this version.

[kurtbliss]

Same problem Frustrating me I just bought this complete set plugins and all $$$$

Also where would I find the brushes files with in Affinity program c: ? I've looked for it so I can import them over like I can with adobe ?

Hallo Struppi, willkommen in den Affinity-Foren.

Könntest du den Pinsel bitte in diesen privaten Dropbox- Ordner hochladen ?

Können Sie auch Ihre an den gleichen Ort @Gemeinschaft Ciencin hochladen ?

Bearbeiten - Es sieht so aus, als hätten wir dies bereits protokolliert, aber es würde trotzdem nicht schaden, die Pinsel von Ihnen zu bekommen, nur um sicher zu gehen.

Es sind alle Pinsel!

Same problem is this going to be fixed, it's a major inconvenience!

[Eva1]

Same Problem with every brushes.

I downloaded also AP 1.7.2.434. and install them. But, now I've got two running Versions on my PC. And the AP 1.7.2.434 asks me to download the newest Version. And there is no possibility to enter the Productkey.....

And the Brushes a have imported bevore (there are many brushes) , now are not avalible in this beta version. This is not the way to fix the Problem! AffinityTeam please fix the bug

Same here with Version 1.7.2.471 (latest) on a fresh Win10 installation. 

The error message appears with all .abr brushes. With the 1.7.1.xxx the import still worked perfectly.

On Windows you can install 1.7.3.476 beta of Photo which resolves the import problem. You can then export .afbrushes files for use in the 1.7.2 versions of all 3 applications.
