Settings

Affinity apps sometimes tend not to save settings properly. There are two methods of fixing this. Given a wineprefix of drive_c/users/$USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Affinity/:

  1. Clone this repository and copy the files from ./Auxillary/ to their respective paths inside the wineprefix.
  2. Locate the settings folders on a windows machine and paste them into the corresponding locations in the wineprefix.

Method 1

This method is tested and working for the recommended Lutris/EW install.

Clone the repository and move into the source directory:

git clone git@github.com:seapear/AffinityOnLinux.git
cd AffinityOnLinux/Auxillary/Settings/

Execute the following code for each app, each time replacing $APP with the name of the target Affinity application and $USERNAME with the name of the user.

mv $APP/2.0/Settings drive_c/users/$USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Affinity/

Method 2

Copy the respective settings folders from C:\\\users\$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\$APP\$VERSION\Settings\ on windows into the corresponding directory inside the wineprefix.

For example:

C:\\\users\$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Designer\2.0\Settings\ -> drive_c/users/$USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Affinity/Designer/2.0/

C:\\\users\$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\2.0\Settings\ -> drive_c/users/$USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Affinity/Photo/2.0/

C:\\\users\$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Publisher\2.0\Settings\ -> drive_c/users/$USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Affinity/Designer/2.0/

Editing The Settings Files

The settings files use the .xml format and can be modified using a text editor.
