You can Google search and find them in the first page of listings for this issue if you need the precise wording and instructions that didn't seem to work for people. I didn't link to the Microsoft support pages for the above suggestions or information because they contained other things that didn't apply OR links to stuff that Serif doesn't want you to try. No GO on this choice.Ĥ: A fellow member of the forum and fellow user of Affinity apps, Frank Mu, in the long thread about the MSIX installation format has said that the reason this will not work is that the Cluster Size of the file system on the DESTINATION drive needs to be 4k due to a bug in WIndows. It did not find or list Affinity Apps at all, even version 1 which is installed via MSI installers. I have this software and I loaded it up and looked through their selection of movable apps on my computer. I restarted the PC and still nothing."ģ: Another recommendation linked to from the Microsoft support site is to use a 3rd party application such as Aomei PA to move the app in question. " Ok, after performing the changes you suggested I tried moving and still had no success. I thought it was interesting that the suggestion with details was provided from Microsoft though.ĭirect quote from the person that tried the instructions: This Information about not working with side loaded apps I got from the Microsoft support site and then I paraphrased it above.Ģ: Microsoft on their help site suggests when you have the issue you are describing to do something that Affinity Serif has deemed incorrect and will cause loss of ability to update the affinity apps or possibly invalidate your affinity license. My Note: Maybe at one time this was correct, but I have seen people do this successfully and the option on most of my "side loaded" software are movable. Here are some of the things I found though, some coming directly from Microsoft.ġ: The Move Apps feature in Windows 10 / 11 only works for apps installed from the microsoft app store and not side loaded applications installed manually or running installers from elsewhere like the Affinity Store etc. If it breaks some Affinity processing, Serif will undoubtedly say it shouldn't be done.I went and google searched this and from what I can tell there isn't really a definite official answer.It is not something documented or recommended by Serif as an intended user action.And it recovered a significant amount of space on my C drive (but I have a lot of Affinity Store content installed, across all 3 applications, or 6 counting the beta versions). I am not recommending that anyone do this, merely reporting that it worked for me, and has not caused any issues yet.Also, at step 5, if for some reason your command prompt didn't put you on disk C, switch to disk C by using the command "C:" (without the quotes) to get there.) (Obviously, substitute your Windows username for Walt in all of that. Started a Windows Command Prompt by right-clickng on its icon and choosing More > Run as Administrator then issued the following commands So, in case it helps someone: I have now moved the Affinity folder from C:\Users\Walt\AppData\Roaming to E:\Affinity-AppData and all the Affinity applications seem to work (though I'm not sure about performance yet E is local but not an SSD).Įnsured no Affinity applications were running.Ĭopied the contents of C:\Users\Walt\AppData\Roaming\Affinity to E:\Affinity-AppDataĭeleted C:\Users\Walt\AppData\Roaming\Affinity This is all the Desktop apps on a Mac running Bug Sur (not M1) If it can be used in multiple apps do I need to have it duplicitously downloaded for each app? Or do I need to figure out which app it should be used in and only install it in that app? And in each asset it does not say anything about which app they could be used for.Ĭould I have just downloaded them once from any one app and had the asset available in whichever app it is supposed to be available in? It did not seem aware of if a creative asset was even usable in that particular app. But when I was done it seems that it downloaded them each three times, which was over 2GB of content each time. After I registered each product it offered me to download them and install them automatically, which I did for each app. these became available to download via the new My Account syncing process. I just purchased and installed Designer, Publisher, and Photo and it came with all these free assets such as Snow Overlays, Fog Overlays, etc.
