melior64 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I recently saw the tutorial by @Multi4G on how to use the Assets in Affinity Photo, and I was wondering the limitations of this before I go importing 26GB of paid stock images. Would doing this 1. lag Affinity on load / on opening the assets manager? 2. clog up my hard drive storage? (my resources are stored either on USB or Dropbox) I can't seem to find the file location on Windows where assets are stored so I'm not sure how this works. Many thanks!

Staff stokerg Posted August 21, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi melior64, 1) I would expect some lag, as from my understanding Affinity would have to generate thumbnails for all of the images you've added to the Asset Studio, which will take some time. 2) It would take up hard drive space. Anything you add to the Assets panel is stored in the Assets.propcol file in this location, which can't be changed: C:\Users\YOUR PC USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\user If you do decide to try this, i'd add them in small groups of images and not all 26GB at once, as you'll likely run out of memory importing that much data in one go. melior64 and MEB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
